INSTALLATION

The PM9100 Continuous Subglottic Suction Regulator has a 1/8” NPT female inlet connection on the back of the regulator. There are two (2) configurations available for purchase.

1. The PM9100 is connected directly to the wall suction outlet via a Precision Medical, Inc. 90° elbow and user-specified fitting.
2. The PM9100 interfaced with an existing vacuum regulator using a Precision Medical, Inc. street tee (Part# 7032) and user-specified fitting.

• Install street tee to back of existing vacuum regulator. Ensure the outlet of the tee is pointing in the direction that the regulator is to be mounted.
• Install Hex connector with regulator attached to street tee.
• Install suction fitting to street tee.
• Test connections to ensure they are leak free. Leaks may effect the performance accuracy of the PM9100 Continuous Subglottic Suction Regulator.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION
Inspect the Continuous Subglottic Suction Regulator for visual damage, DO NOT USE if damaged.

NOTE: Overflow protection must be used with the PM9100 Subglottic Suction Regulator. (i.e. Filter; Precision Medical Part# 1690, Canister equipped with shut off).

1. Turn the Vacuum Control Knob to the “OFF” position. Knob must be turned counterclockwise until knob reaches the stop.
2. Attach the Suction Regulator to the vacuum source. (Subglottic suction regulator may be used independently or in combination with a standard suction regulator).

REG MODE (Regulated Mode)

1. Turn the Vacuum Control Knob to the manufacturer’s recommended suction level for the device being used to accomplish continuous subglottic suction of secretions. (Typically 15-30 mmHg)
   NOTE: Vacuum setting must be increased by approximately 20 mmHg for each 12” that the suction Collection Canister is located above patient level.

2. lock the bottom port of the PM9100 to verify flow indicator ball disappears from view. (No Flow Condition)

3. Using the Vacuum Control Knob, set the desired vacuum. (Scale is calibrated for occluded pressures). To INCREASE vacuum – Turn Knob CLOCKWISE To DECREASE vacuum – Turn Knob COUNTERCLOCKWISE

4. Verify vacuum pressure setting with PM760 (Digital Vacuum Check Unit).

PUSH TO CLEAR MODE (Full, unregulated vacuum) The PM9100 Continuous Subglottic Suction Regulator incorporates a unique flow monitoring mechanism for visual indication to determine the lumen patency of the subglottic suction device.

WARNING
The PUSH TO CLEAR button should never be depressed for longer than 15 seconds as injury to the patient may occur.
The PM9100 Subglottic Suction Regulator must be serviced if the PUSH TO CLEAR button fails to return to its original position.

1. Depress PUSH TO CLEAR button for 1-5 seconds at a time and observe flow indicator to determine if clog is cleared from port or tube.
2. If blockage is not removed, follow device manufacturer’s recommendations for clearing the subglottic port or tube.
3. Turn the Vacuum Control Knob to the “OFF” position to turn the Regulator off. Knob must be turned counterclockwise until knob reaches stop and ball falls.

CAUTION
DO NOT operate the PM9100 when the collection canister is “full”. This may cause loss of vacuum and damage to the Suction Regulator. This will void the warranty.

CLEANING / DECONTAMINATION

External Cleaning

1. Disconnect all gas connections and equipment before cleaning.
2. Clean exterior surfaces using Super Sani-Cloth germicidal disposable wipes. Remove all visible contamination from the external surfaces of the device and its accessories. Be sure to closely inspect and remove contamination from seams and recesses on the device that may trap contaminants. Wipe with clean paper towel to remove debris.
3. After all visible contamination is removed; use a second germicidal wipe to thoroughly wet the surfaces of the device and accessories. Allow remaining wet for 4 minutes. Use additional wipes if needed to assure surfaces are wetted continuously for 4 minutes.
4. Allow device to air dry completely.
5. Visually inspect the device for visible contamination. Repeat the cleaning/disinfection process if necessary.

WARNING

• DO NOT autoclave or immerse in liquid. This will cause damage to the Suction Regulator and will void the warranty.
• If Vacuum Regulator becomes internally contaminated, the warranty is voided, DO NOT send back to Precision Medical, Inc. for repair. Follow your facilities contaminated equipment protocol.
• This Suction Regulator contains magnetic, ferrous material that may affect the results of an MRI.
• Be sure all connections are tight and leak-free.

1. Attach a working Vacuum Regulator with a continuous regulated mode to a minimum vacuum level of 200 mmHg.

2. Mix cold disinfection/sterilization solution according to its manufacturer’s directions.

3. Connect tubing as shown in “CLEANING / DECONTAMINATION” on the previous page.

4. Adjust the Suction Regulator(s) to be cleaned on the continuous regulated mode.

5. Adjust the vacuum to a minimum of 60 mmHg.

6. Depress PUSH TO CLEAR button and hold for 10 seconds.

7. Allow cold disinfection/sterilization solution to pass through and collect in Suction Canister. The procedure should continue for time recommended by the manufacturer of the cold disinfection/sterilization solution for the desired level of disinfection or sterilization.

8. Set the vacuum control knob to zero and clamp off the suction tubing so the solution does not flow out.

9. Allow cold disinfection solution to remain inside the regulator for the recommended time to achieve desired level of disinfection.
   Rinse: Sterile or Potable Water

10. Adjust the Suction Regulator(s) to be cleaned to a minimum of 60 mmHg.

11. Allow the remaining cold disinfection/sterilization solution to pass through and collect in the Suction Canister occasionally depressing and holding the PUSH TO CLEAR button. (Repeat rinse according to Disinfectant Manufacturer’s Recommendations).

12. Thoroughly dry the internal components by drawing a maximum vacuum through the Suction Regulator to be cleaned for at least 30 seconds.
    Note: If it is not possible to pass cold disinfection/sterilization solution through the Suction Regulator, then the passageways are totally blocked and DISASSEMBLY of the Suction Regulator is required. Please contact your Precision Medical, Inc. Sales Representative. Be sure to follow your facility’s Biohazard protocol.
