2. With a reusable suction bottle, ensure that a bacterial filter is connected in-line
with the supply connection.
3. Connect the desired extension tubing to the outlet of the suction bottle outlet port,
and secure the free end of the extension tubing in either tubing retaining slot
provided on the front and rear panels of the bassinet.
4. Turn ON the Suction On/Off switch. An initial reading of up to 30 mm Hg
(16"H
2
O) may appear on the suction gauge due to flow resistance of the
hydrophobic filter and the suction tubing.
NOTE:
The filter and tubing resistance does not affect the desired maximum value. The
pressure value on the suction gauge matches the actual pressure value at the end of
the catheter.
5. Block the patient outlet of the suction bottle.
6. Adjust the suction magnitude to the desired maximum suction pressure value with the
Suction control while viewing the suction level on the suction gauge.
7. Turn Off the Suction On/Off switch.
