The purpose of the Moblvac® III-cs is to perform all routine constant suctioning procedures. These
may include tracheal and oral aspiration, wound and thoracic drainage. The Moblvac® III-cs is also
ideal for use within the G.I. lab as well as for backup suction in the O.R. and E.R. departments.

The Ohio Medical Moblvac® III-cs is a constant suction unit designed for use in the hospital, surgery
center, and physicians offices. Because of the Moblvac’s constant suction capacities are driven by a
fan cooled, rotary carbon vane pump. It comes equipped with a disposable exhaust filter, an in-line
suction filter with 14” of tubing, a disposable 1200cc collection canister with mounting bracket, and a
preventative maintenance kit.

1. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

PRIOR TO INITIAL USE

Upon receiving your new Moblvac® III-cs, perform the following initial tests to ensure that your unit is
in good working order and that no damage has occurred during shipment.

SET UP INSTRUCTIONS

Your Moblvac® III-cs has been shipped with some minor assembly required. A 3/32” Allen wrench is
the only tool required.

1. Visually inspect all components for physical damage that may have occurred during shipping.

2. After removing all components from their cartons, insert the backpole assembly into the back
of the Moblvac® III-cs base.

3. Align the two “collection mounting brackets” located at the top of the backpole assembly to­wards the front of the unit.

4. Tighten the 10-32 set screw located at the back of the base assembly with a 3/32” Allen
wrench.

5. Connect the tubing from the bottom of the backpole to the safety overflow trap assembly.

6. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. Depress the “POWER” switch and listen to verify
that the pump starts.

7. Plug the vacuum port located at the top of the backpole and adjust the vacuum level by turning
the vacuum regulator knob. Verify that the vacuum gauge reflects a charge in vacuum level
while turning the regulator knob.

8. Depress the “POWER” switch to turn the unit OFF (O).

9. Place a collection canister bracket (ring) in the slide mounting bracket of the backpole assembly or

The Moblvac® III-cs will use any collection device. However, if you are not using an Ohio Medical
1200cc disposable collection canister, make sure that the collection device that is being used is
equipped with a safety overflow mechanism to protect the pump from accidental overflow.

Ensure that you have the appropriate collection device and suction tubing. Depending on the proce­dure, ensure that you have the appropriate Chest Drainage Unit, Nasal Gastric tube, aspirating tip, or
wound drain for patient use. The Moblvac® III-cs is now ready to place into service.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Verify that a clean bacteriostatic exhaust filter, in-line suction filter, collection canister, and the neces­sary tubing are installed on the Moblvac® III-cs.

ORAL, NASAL AND TRACHEAL ASPIRATION

1. Place a clean collection canister in the upper bracket, located on the backpole assembly of your
Moblvac® III-cs. Ensure that tubing is connected from the “VACUUM PORT ASSEMBLY” of
the Moblvac® III-cs to the “vacuum port” of the collection canister and from the “patient port”
of the collection canister to the aspirating tip that is being used.

2. Open the vacuum port located at the top of the backpole assembly and place your finger over
the outlet.

3. Turn the Moblvac® III-cs ON.

3. Adjust the vacuum to the desired vacuum level by using the “VACUUM REGULATOR”
Knob.

5. Open the vacuum port located at the top of the backole and proceed with the suction procedure.

PLEURAL DRAINAGE

Moblvac
Some chest drainage units come with a built in flow adjustment valve and some do not. The Ohio
Medical Needle Valve Assembly is available for those units that do not offer this feature.

Follow all manufacturers’ directions on the Chest Drainage Unit for its setup and use.

Chest Drainage Units Without Built In Flow Adjustment Valves.

Place the Chest Drainage Unit in the “optional” Ohio Medical Chest Drainage Unit Bracket. Ensure
that tubing is connected from the “VACUUM PORT ASSEMBLY” of the Moblvac III-cs to the Ohio
Medical Needle Valve Assembly which is mounted in the collection canister bracket of the backpole.
Connect tubing from the Needle Valve Assembly to the vacuum port tubing of the Chest Drainage
Unit.

® III-cs can be utilized with any “Disposable Chest Drainage Unit” available on the market.

OR

Chest Drainage Units With Built In Flow Adjustment Valves.

Place the Chest Drainage Unit in the “optional” Ohio Medical Chest Drainage Unit Bracket. Ensure
that tubing is connected from the “VACUUM PORT ASSEMBLY” of the Moblvac® III-cs to the vac­uum port tubing of the Chest Drainage Unit.

1. Open the vacuum port located at the top of the backpole assembly and place your figer over the
outlet.

2. Turn the Moblvac® III-cs ON.

3. Adjust the Moblvac® III-cs to a low vacuum setting by using the “VACUUM REGULATOR”
knob.

NOTE: The vacuum level provided to the chest cavity is regulated by the Chest Drainage Unit. Set­ting the Moblvac to a low vacuum level ensures that you are producing sufficient vacuum to properly
operate the chest drainage unit.

4. Open the vacuum port located at the top of the backpole. Adjust the Ohio Medical needle
valve or Chest Drainage Unit (per the manufacturers’ instructions) as necessary and proceed
with the suction procedure.

REPROCESSING AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Discard all contaminated parts after any suctioning procedure. These components may include
the collection canister, disposable chest drainage unit, in-line filter, exhaust filter, and all suc­tion tubing.

2. Wipe the surface of the unit clean with a mild antiseptic and a clean soft cloth.

3. Place a new collection canister, suction tubing, and filters with the Moblvac® III-cs.

4. Check the air inlet filter at the back of the unit to see that it is clear of any dirt. If cleaning is
necessary simply “pop off” the filter cover so the filter can be vacuumed or, if the dirt is exces­sive, washed in a mild antiseptic and thoroughly rinsed in water. After the filter is completely
dried, reinstall the filter and snap the cover back into place.

5. Inspect the overflow trap assembly for any evidence of an accidental overflow. If an overflow
has occurred, use the following guidelines.
