Equipment Set-up
Insert the adapter/probe into the vacuum wall outlet. If the regulator is mounted elsewhere, connect a vacuum
supply hose between the regulator's adapter/probe and the wall outlet.
Use hospital-supplied suction tubing between the vacuum regulator and the collection container, as well as
between the patient port of the collection container and the patient (minimum inside diameter is 6 mm [0.25 in]).
An Ohio Medical high flow suction filter and/or overflow safety trap (OST) should be used between the
collection container and regulator to prevent contamination of the regulator, wall outlet and pipeline system.
ISO 10079-3 (Section 5.1.2) states that "the usable volume of the collection container shall not be less than
500 mL."

Attaching the Overflow Safety Trap (OST)
CAUTION
To help prevent aspirate from entering the regulator, wall outlet and pipeline equipment, a
safety trap should be attached prior to its use. Aspirate in the regulator, wall outlet and pipeline
equipment may impair its operation. The use of a safety trap and suction filter will help prevent
this and extend the life of suction equipment.
Locking Gland Fitting
1. Raise the sleeve and insert the safety trap into the regulator fitting.
2. Turn the trap clockwise about one and a half turns to engage the threads.
The trap does not need to be screwed tight; an O-ring in the regulator
fitting provides a vacuum seal. The trap should rotate freely to allow the
desired nipple positioning.
3. Lower sleeve to lock trap in position.
