The purpose of the Moblvac® III-cs is to perform all routine constant suctioning procedures. These may include tracheal and oral aspiration, wound and thoracic drainage. The Moblvac® III-cs is also ideal for use within the G.I. lab as well as for backup suction in the O.R. and E.R. departments. The Squire-Cogswell/Aeros Moblvac® III-cs is a constant suction unit designed for use in the hospital, surgery center, and physicians offices. Because of the Moblvac’s constant suction capacities are driven by a fan cooled, rotary carbon vane pump. It comes equipped with a disposable exhaust filter, an in-line suction filter with 14” of tubing, a disposable 1200cc collection canister with mounting bracket, and a preventative maintenance kit.

The Moblvac® III-cs will use any collection device. However, if you are not using an Aeros 1200cc disposable collection canister, make sure that the collection device that is being used is equipped with a safety overflow mechanism to protect the pump from accidental overflow. Ensure that you have the appropriate collection device and suction tubing. Depending on the procedure, ensure that you have the appropriate Chest Drainage Unit, Nasal Gastric tube, aspirating tip, or wound drain for patient use. The Moblvac® III-cs is now ready to place into service. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Verify that a clean bacteriostatic exhaust filter, in-line suction filter, collection canister, and the necessary tubing are installed on the Moblvac® III-cs. ORAL, NASAL AND TRACHEAL ASPIRATION 1.
Place a clean collection canister in the upper bracket, located on the backpole assembly of your Moblvac® III-cs. Ensure that tubing is connected from the “VACUUM PORT ASSEMBLY” of the Moblvac® III-cs to the “vacuum port” of the collection canister and from the “patient port” of the collection canister to the aspirating tip that is being used.
2.
Open the vacuum port located at the top of the backpole assembly and place your finger over the outlet.
3.
Turn the Moblvac® III-cs ON.
3.
Adjust the vacuum to the desired vacuum level by using the “VACUUM REGULATOR” Knob.
5.
Open the vacuum port located at the top of the backole and proceed with the suction procedure.
PLEURAL DRAINAGE Moblvac® III-cs can be utilized with any “Disposable Chest Drainage Unit” available on the market. Some chest drainage units come with a built in flow adjustment valve and some do not. The Aeros Needle Valve Assembly is available for those units that do not offer this feature. Follow all manufacturers’ directions on the Chest Drainage Unit for its setup and use. Chest Drainage Units Without Built In Flow Adjustment Valves. Place the Chest Drainage Unit in the “optional” Aeros Chest Drainage Unit Bracket. Ensure that tubing is connected from the “VACUUM PORT ASSEMBLY” of the Moblvac III-cs to the Aeros Needle Valve Assembly which is mounted in the collection canister bracket of the backpole. Connect tubing from the Needle Valve Assembly to the vacuum port tubing of the Chest Drainage Unit.

Chest Drainage Units With Built In Flow Adjustment Valves. Place the Chest Drainage Unit in the “optional” Aeros Chest Drainage Unit Bracket. Ensure that tubing is connected from the “VACUUM PORT ASSEMBLY” of the Moblvac® III-cs to the vacuum port tubing of the Chest Drainage Unit. 1.
Open the vacuum port located at the top of the backpole assembly and place your figer over the outlet.
2.
Turn the Moblvac® III-cs ON.
3.
Adjust the Moblvac® III-cs to a low vacuum setting by using the “VACUUM REGULATOR” knob.
NOTE: The vacuum level provided to the chest cavity is regulated by the Chest Drainage Unit. Setting the Moblvac to a low vacuum level ensures that you are producing sufficient vacuum to properly operate the chest drainage unit. 4.
Open the vacuum port located at the top of the backpole. Adjust the Aeros needle valve or Chest Drainage Unit (per the manufacturers’ instructions) as necessary and proceed with the suction procedure.
REPROCESSING AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS 1.
Discard all contaminated parts after any suctioning procedure. These components may include the collection canister, disposable chest drainage unit, in-line filter, exhaust filter, and all suction tubing.
2.
Wipe the surface of the unit clean with a mild antiseptic and a clean soft cloth.
3.
Place a new collection canister, suction tubing, and filters with the Moblvac® III-cs.
4.
Check the air inlet filter at the back of the unit to see that it is clear of any dirt. If cleaning is necessary simply “pop off” the filter cover so the filter can be vacuumed or, if the dirt is excessive, washed in a mild antiseptic and thoroughly rinsed in water. After the filter is completely dried, reinstall the filter and snap the cover back into place.
5.
Inspect the overflow trap assembly for any evidence of an accidental overflow. If an overflow has occurred, use the following guidelines. OVERFLOW - Aspirant has contaminated the overflow trap assembly. Replace and/or clean parts according to procedures described in OVERFLOW CLEANING PROCEDURE on page 6.

SEVERE OVERFLOW - Aspirant has contaminated the overflow trap assembly and the vacuum port tubing. Replace and/or clean external parts according to procedure described in OVERFLOW CLEANING PROCEDURE below. In addition, open the unit to assess the extent of the internal over flow. OVERFLOW CLEANING PROCEDURE NOTE: THESE PROCEDURES ARE ONLY REQUIRED WHEN AN OVERFLOW HAS OCCURRED. 1.
Discard all external contaminated tubing.
2.
Clean the overflow trap assembly by unscrewing the cap and disassembling the various components. Wash all parts with mild antiseptic, dry, reassemble and verify that the float is in the down position and the cap seals tightly on the glass jar.
3.
Replaces all discarded tubing.
4.
If the vacuum port tubing was contaminated, open the unit and inspect the following parts for contamination (See MAINTENANCE section below for opening the unit): All Internal Tubing: If contaminated, replace. Regulator Assembly: If contaminated, clean according to procedure on page 7. Pump Assembly: If contaminated, clean according to procedure on page 8.
2. MAINTENANCE Tools required to service the Moblvac III-cs. (1) Pliers (1) 11/32” nut driver (1) Adjustable wrench (1) Flathead screwdriver

3.
Remove the cover plate, shim, wear plate and the four (4) vanes.
4.
Wash all exposed areas with an isopropyl alcohol solution.
Before you reassemble the pump make certain that all components are completely dry. Rust is likely to form if any moisture is present. 5.
Replace the vanes, wear plate, shim, and cover plate.
6.
Replace and equally tighten the three (3) pump head screws.
7.
Reinstall the pump assembly.
