clarify a point in the text.
Important: An Important statement is similar to a
note but of greater emphasis.
CAUTION: A CAUTION statement is used when
the possibility of damage to the equipment exists.
WARNING: A WARNING statement is used
when the possibility of injury to the patient or
the operator exists.
1.2 Warnings
The Pre-Use Checkout Procedure must be performed before using this equipment on each
patient. If the regulator fails any part of the Pre-Use
Checkout Procedure, it must be removed from service and repaired by qualifi ed service personnel.
Connect the Vacuum Regulator to the vacuum
source only. Connection to pressure sources even
momentarily could injure the patient or operator
and damage the equipment.
Always connect the regulator to the vacuum source
and check its operation before attaching the patient
connection.
The fi tting port of the regulator must be occluded
when setting the prescribed suction level. This
prevents the patient from receiving higher than
required suction levels.
Do not use this device in the presence of fl amma-
ble anesthetics. Static charges may not dissipate
and possible explosion hazard exists in the presence of these agents.
After patient use, regulators may be contaminated.
Handle in accordance with your hospital’s infection
control policy.
Clean and sterilize all multiple use suction equipment before shipment to ensure transportation personnel and/or service personnel are not exposed to
any hazardous contamination.
Clean and sterilize all multiple use suction equipment if contaminated before disassembly, to ensure
service personnel are not exposed to hazardous
contamination.
Following sterilization with ethylene oxide, parts
should be quarantined in a well ventilated area to
allow dissipation of residual ethylene oxide gas
absorbed by the material. Aerate parts for 8 hours
o
at 130
If the Vacuum Regulator is repaired or disassem-
bled in any manner, the Service Checkout Procedure must be performed before using the equipment on the patient.
The Posi-Pulse ISU must be mounted vertically for
proper operation. The regulator may not operate
correctly in any other position.
For proper Posi-Pulse operation, the Posi-Pulse
ISU’s “On” and “Off” timing cycles must be a minimum of 10 seconds.
If the fl ow control valve is rotated fully clockwise,
the ISU and Posi-Pulse ISU will not cycle in the
intermittent mode. Drainage will cease.
When using the Posi-Pulse ISU with a Posi-Pulse
Device, avoid using suction over 200 mm Hg/26
kPa or Posi-Pulse operation may not allow effective
drainage.
It may be possible to set the vacuum limit to zero.
If there is no suction present, rotate set screw
counterclockwise and/or check Chapter 6/Troubleshooting.
If the screws on the timing valves are turned all the
way clockwise, the ISU and Posi-Pulse ISU will not
cycle.

1/Precautions
1.3 Cautions
A supply vacuum of less than 15 in Hg/51 kPa (380
mm Hg) may impair Posi-Pulse ISU and Posi-Pulse
Device operation.
Cleaning the gauge may result in damage.
Do not lubricate any internal components of the
regulator module.
Do not over-tighten the timing valve stem. Needle
portion of the valve may be damaged.
Do not steam autoclave or liquid sterilize the ISU or
Posi-Pulse ISU. Severe impairment to the operation of the regulator will result. The only acceptable
method of sterilization is with gas (ethylene oxide).
Do not use any 1Loctite® products to seal the fi tting
and adapter port threads (or products which contain Methacrylate Ester as an active ingredient).
Only competent individuals trained in the repair of
this equipment should attempt to service it.
Sterilization with ethylene oxide mixtures may
cause crazing (minute superfi cial cracking) of some
plastic parts. Crazing will be more pronounced
when mixtures containing 2Freon® are used.
The cap screws can strip the regulator module
housing threads if they are screwed in too tight.
The gauge assembly must be handled with utmost
care to retain its precision. If the lens is removed,
do not rest the gauge on its face.
To help prevent aspirate from entering the regulator, as a result of misuse, an Overfl ow Safety Trap
and suction fi lter, should be attached prior to its
use. Aspirate in the regulator will impair the operation. The use of the Overfl ow Safety Trap and suc-
tion fi lter will help prevent this and extend the life of
the suction equipment.
To prevent stripping the plastic threads, place the
screw in the hole and turn counterclockwise until it
drops into the original threads. Tighten screw.
Use of lubricants other than recommended, may
degrade plastic or rubber components.

3/Description and Specifications
3.1 Description
WARNING: Do not use this device in the presence of fl ammable anesthetics. Static charges
may not dissipate and possible explosion hazard exists in the presence of these agents.
The Intermittent Suction Unit (ISU) and Posi-Pulse
Intermittent Suction Unit (Posi-Pulse ISU) are dual
purpose Vacuum Regulators which provide either
intermittent or continuous suction. They can be
used for N.G. (intermittent) or pharyngeal/tracheal
(continuous) suctioning throughout the hospital.
On the Pediatric ISU, the maximum vacuum limit
is factory present to 135 mm Hg and the limit may
be adjusted between 80 and 150 mm Hg. It also
has a positive pressure relief. The low gauge and
the baby icon on the cover distinguish it from the
standard ISU.
Each unit contains a regulator module to regulate
and adjust suction, a vacuum gauge which indicates suction supplied, a patented Unilogic Module to silently and reliably switch suction on and
off, and timing valves which select and adjust the
length of the on and off cycles.
The Posi-Pulse ISU also contains a pause module
and Posi-Pulse attachment port. It can be used
with or without a disposable Posi-Pulse Drainage
Assist Device®.
In use, the vacuum source is connected through
the regulator module which functions as an automatic valve. Rotating the suction control knob
adjusts the position of the regulator module and
selects a predetermined level of suction.
During use, as the fl ow requirement increases, the
valve automatically opens to maintain suction at
the preset level. Conversely, when the fl ow require-
ment decreases, the valve automatically closes
to maintain suction at the preset level. The same
mechanism compensates for changes in supply
vacuum to automatically maintain the pre-set suction level.

3/Description and Specifications
a. IOIOI (INTER) or IOIOI P-P (INTER) - Suc-
tion is intermittent (cycles on and off) and the
suction level can be adjusted with the suction
control knob. This is the selection used for
Posi-Pulse N.G. Drainage System operation.
When used as an Intermittent Suction Unit,
both the “On” and “Off” timing cycles are independently adjustable within a range of 3 to
30 seconds. These are pre-set at the factory
at a supply vacuum of 450 mm Hg/60 kPa to
provide approximately 15 seconds “On” and
8 seconds “Off” for the ISU and 15 seconds
“On” and 15 seconds “Off” for the Posi-Pulse
ISU. If the supply vacuum is different, the
timing cycles will vary. Adjustment procedures
are outlined in the Operations Section of this
manual under the heading “Setting the Timing
Cycles”.
b. O (OFF) - No suction is supplied to the pa-
tient.
c. I (CONT) - Suction is continuous and can be
adjusted with the suction control knob.
3. Vacuum Gauge - The suction level to the patient
is displayed during use.

4/Operation
4.1 Equipment Set-up
WARNING: Connect the Vacuum Regulator to
the vacuum source only. Connection to pressure sources even momentarily could injure the
patient or operator and damage the equipment.
WARNING: Always connect the regulator to
the vacuum source and check its operation
before attaching the patient connection.
WARNING: The Posi-Pulse ISU must be
mounted vertically for proper operation. The
regulator may not operate correctly in any other
position.
CAUTION: To help prevent aspirate from enter-
ing the regulator, an Overfl ow Safety Trap and
suction fi lter should be attached prior to its use.
Aspirate in the regulator will impair the operation.
The use of the Overfl ow Safety Trap and suciton fi lter will help prevent this and extend the life of the
suction equipment.
If the regulator is equipped with an adapter for wall
outlets, insert the adapter into the vacuum wall
outlet. If the regulator is mounted elsewhere, connect a vacuum supply hose between the regulator’s
adapter port and the wall outlet. Connect the
Collection Bottle’s vacuum port to the regulator’s
fi tting or Overfl ow Safety Trap with the appropriate
vacuum tubing.
Note: For proper installation of Adapters/Probes
and Fittings see Appendix.
For standard ISU operation, mount the Collection
Bottle above the patient.
For optimal Posi-Pulse system operation, mount
the Collection Bottle at or below patient level.
Connect the collection bottle's vacuum port to the
regulator's fi tting port or Overfl ow Safety Trap with
the appropriate suction fi lter and vacuum tubing.
Hospital-supplied suction tubing must be used
between the catheter and the collection bottle.
Recommended minimum inside diameter is 0.25 in
(6 mm).
An Ohio Medical High Flow Disposable Filter
should be used between the Collection Bottle and
the Vacuum Regulator to prevent contamination of
the regulator.
