Medical electronic suction unit

Properties and uses

Suction units MEVACS (40 L/min) present a

new generation of suction units. Their
operation is very easy. The whole suction
process is controlled by microprocessor and
the choice of the mode of suction and
parameters are set on the touch screen.
This makes them suitable for general use in
surgery, neurosurgery, plastic surgery,
genecology, and thorax draining, at AR-UIC
departments, as well as for suction from air
passages.
There is no service-needed vacuum pump into the suction unit. Besides classical suction
have special modes - drainage suction, pulse suction, vacuum extraction and STAND-BY
function.
Ordering number:
MEVACS (flow rate 40 l/min) – No:72000.02

15.Memory function of adjusted unit values during blackout
16.The possibility control all functions with optional mode of foot controller:
♦ a/ as ON/OFF switch
♦ b/ as foot vacuum regulator - MOMENTARY
17.Wide range of additional accessories:
♦ unbreakable autoclavable collection jars with volume 0.5L, 1L, 2L, 4L
♦ universal trolley with a basket, holders...
♦ suction adapters, single-use suction bags, cylinders ...
♦ various diameters of silicone suction hoses
♦ vacuum-extractors, curettage adapters

Areas of use
a) Surgery - Neurosurgery - Cardio surgery - Plastic surgery - Accident surgery - Orthopaedics

c) Gynaecology (suction curettage, vacuum extraction, secretion suction of new-born children and
children, pulse suction of breast milk)
d) Ward of internal diseases - Intensive Care Unit - Endoscopy
e) Ambulances, other - in the range of technical parameters

Foot switch and selecting the method to use
Foot switch can operate in two modes:
a) as a foot vacuum regulator - MOMENTERY
b) as an ON / OFF switch

32 Mode foot controller - MOMENTERY: by switch on

suction unit and by pressing and holding the suction
foot controller suction unit works (increasing vacuum
to the set value) and releasing the suction foot
controller stops working

Mode ON / OFF: by switch on suction unit and by

pressing the foot control switch ON the suction as if
32
we have turned on the main switch ON / OFF
repeatedly pressing the suction unit is switched off.

Touch the icon (32) "Footswitch" (the visible points

ON) mode is set to "FOOT CONTROLLER -
MOMENTERY". Repeatedly touch switches to the
mode (the visible points OFF) "ON / OFF".

Suction modes
The suction unit MEVACS has the following suction modes:

1. Suction "NORMAL MODE" in the range 0 to max. vacuum (0 to -93 kPa) with automatic
"STANDBY".
2. Soft suction „DRAINAGE“ in the range -5 to -20 kPa.
3. Pulse suction „PULSE“ in the range 0 to max. vacuum (0 to -93 kPa)
4. Vacuum extraction „VACEXTR“ with controlled vacuum rise.

Suction „NORMAL MODE“

The basic suction mode between 0 and -93 kPa. Size
vacuum selected easily - by touching the desired
value.
„STANBY“ mode - power saving mode. This mode is
recommended in cases with frequent switching on
and off.

Soft suction „DRAINAGE"
Range of suction 0 -20 kPa. Touch to select the value
of the of vacuum of 4 pre-set values 5; 10; 15 or 20
kPa or vacuum can also select continuously from 1
kPa to 20 kPa by touching the screen. Mode soft
suction "DRAINAGE" serves primarily to protect the
soft tissue in long term suction surgical wounds. By
leech onto tissue to suction cannula the suction unit
automatically interrupts the process of suction
holding time and then vacuum drops to zero. Values
holding time at max. vacuum and zero vacuum can be
set from 0 to 12.5 seconds. After the pre-set time will
be suction process automatically resumes.

Pulse suction „PULSE“

Range of suction 0 -93 kPa. The "PULSE" is used
mainly to protect the delicate tissue, so its use is for
heavy operations in the brain, heart, intestine... . By
leech onto tissue to suction cannula the suction unit
after reaching the set maximum vacuum
automatically interrupts the process of suction
holding time and then vacuum drops to a minimum
value set. After the pre-set time will be suction
process automatically resumes. Values holding time
the "MAX" vacuum can be set from 0 to 6.2 sec. and
for "MIN" vacuum in the range from 0 to 12.5 sec.

Vacuum extraction „VACEXTR“

The suction unit can automatically manage the start-
up of vacuum. By selecting the "VACEXTR" and the
closed end of the extraction cup device automatically
creates a vacuum of 20 kPa. The vacuum was
gradually increased step by 2 kPa and a pause
between each step is factory-set to 6 seconds. The
vacuum is gradually increased up to the set value.
After reaching the maximum set value, a short
acoustic signal. If it is necessary above (or below) the
vacuum, its value we can continue to increase to a
maximum of 93 kPa. With repeated run-up to the
desired final value of vacuum MEVACS climb on
previously attained value of vacuum it without delay
and continues in automatic mode.

Check functions
The suction unit MEVACS has the following check functions:
1. Full secretion jar check
2. Clogged filter check
3. Suction unit adjustment

Clogged filter alamr

Filling jar alarm

The emergency status alarm

Adjustment of suction with entering the PIN

code. This mode is only for service technicians.

Microbiological filter
Suction microbiologic filter eliminated risk of contamination with
bacteria, viruses and infected particle from patient to vacuum pump
or central vacuum distribution. Suction microbiological filter is
hydrophobic with very high bacterial efficiencies up to 99,99999%
particles bigger than 0,027 micron (which is smaller than Hepatitis A,
B and C).
