The Emergency Injector Suction Unit may already be supplied connected to a Regulator (or 0-15LPM Dialreg). If not fitted screw the Injector Suction Inlet Nut on to the Regulator Outlet, ensuring that the nut is tightened. (b) Connect the Regulator/Emergency Injector Suction Unit assembly to an Oxygen Cylinder, ensuring that the cylinder and unit is OFF before trying to connect. (c) Turn the cylinder ON slowly. If any sound of gas hissing, turn the cylinder OFF, and examine for leaks. If the unit is found to be leaking, please return to the manufacturer. Connect Emergency Suction Unit to Receiver Jar by pushing one end of a length of Suction Tubing over Tubing outlet on Suction Unit and the other over the vacuum inlet on the Receiver Jar Assembly. Ensure that a good fit is achieved on both fittings, and that the tubing cannot come loose. Users should ensure that an in-line Bacteriological Filter is fitted between the Emergency Injector Suction Unit and the Receiver Jar Assembly. Turn the Emergency Injector Suction On by twisting the metal Control Knob to the ‘ON’ position. Occlude the Patient outlet on the Receiver Jar and ensure that the Gauge on the front of the unit registers an overall level of Suction of –500mmHG or more. The Emergency Injector Suction Unit is designed for emergency use only, and is purely ON/OFF only. The suction levels on the unit cannot be adjusted.

Emergency Injector Suction Units should not be used for continuous drainage. It is however recommended that the unit be tested for function (see Preventative Maintenance) before every use The Emergency Injector Suction unit should only be used by persons who have received adequate instructions in its use It is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that the correct Suction Unit is selected to suit the patient.
