Vacutron® Suction Regulators by Chemetron

®

Chemetron has been a leader in suction regulators for
more than 40 years. The Vacutron line offers safety
and performance features unlike any other regulator on
the market.

Vacutron provides four distinct advantages over other suction regulators.

 Superior Patient Safety

Vacutron suction regulators have a secondary internal vacuum relief valve.

This valve ensures that under no circumstance, i.e. component failure, can the
vacuum pressure delivered to the patient exceed a pre-set safe level so the patient
is not inadvertently exposed to the full line vacuum pressure.

 Simple and Inexpensive Sterilization

In the unlikely event the Vacutron becomes contaminated with aspirated material,

the regulator can be sterilized by flushing it with common isopropyl alcohol.

 Model-Specific Labeling

Each Vacutron suction regulator has a color-coded label on the front of the product

to enable the clinician to quickly and easily identify which type of regulator is

connected.

 Standard Glow-in-the-Dark Gauge

Allied’s Vacutron suction regulator comes standard with a glow-in-the-dark gauge

and needle.

The continuous suction regulator is designed to deliver constant
vacuum for general suction procedures, including routine
maintenance of the patient airway, oropharyngeal and endotracheal
suctioning.

Key Features

 Internal safety relief valve limits the maximum vacuum level to

320 mm Hg in the event of regulator failure or inaccuracy

 Superior regulation mechanism ensures stable vacuum settings

even with fluctuations in source vacuum

 ISO configurations available
