Application
Venturi nozzles for high flow / high vacuum are used where simple On-Off suction control is required.
The Nozzles have a simple and robust
construction and are designed for applications where direct
suction is instantly required. The dual-scale vacuum gauge for controlling the line depression is accurate
and easy to read. The non-return valve protects the suction system from blowbacks. Venturi nozzles for
high flow / high vacuum are suitable for connection to most of terminal units available on the market.
Controls and connections
LEGEND
1 - Silicone protection sleeve (optional)
2 – Controlling vacuum gauge (optional)
3 – Non-return ball valve
4 – Specific gas quick coupling for suction supply
(VAC-IN)
5 – Chrome-plated metal body
6 – Sintered bronze filter
7 – Vacuum supply hose connector (VAC-OUT)
Installation and use
Check the functioning of the unit every day or in accordance
with the hospital routine. The connection procedures for the
venturi nozzle is described below.
•Connect the specific gas quick coupling for suction
supply VAC IN (4), to the rapid supply outlet of the
centralised hospital plant;
•Connect a suitable flexible hose to the vacuum supply
hose connector VAC OUT (7)
(e.g. silicone hose
autoclavable at 134 °C for 18 minutes), pressing onto
the end;
•Connect a suitable type of collection
container for
aspirated fluid to the other end of the hose.
The procedure below must be followed to make the appliance
operational:
•Check the suction on the control vacuum gauge (2), after
the block of the hose connector used for the suction. The
system is then ready for use.
After use, the procedure below must be followed:
•Disconnect the vacuum supply (4) from the main supply
outlet of the centralised hospital plant;
•Remove the collection container by disconnecting it from
the suction nozzle and detaching the PATIENT circuit.
