Drainage and temporary collection of body fluids. For the supply of function: vacuum, S VAC INT is connected to a terminal unit for vacuum of a central medical gas supply system (−100 kPa to −60 kPa). A septic fluid jar, which has to be used, allows for temporary collection of drained body fluids.
Version B: Tapping unit with rail clamp and NIST connection • S VAC INT is designed for mounting onto a 25−35 x 10 mm equipment rail in accordance with DIN EN 19054 and is supplied from a terminal unit for vacuum via a NIST connection with a connection tube with gas probe.
Introduction Basic requirements Prerequisites • Pore size ≤ 1.0 μ. • The tube connector must match the tube being used. • The hydrophobic bacterial and viral filter must close tightly against water passage at an abso- lute pressure of up to 10 kPa. •...
Introduction Basic requirements 1.4.5.7 Mechanical overflow protection The mechanical overflow protection device protects the product against the ingress of particles and fluid. The tube connector must match the vacuum connection tube. GA 5752 5727 GB 03...
