Gomco 6036 - General Information

1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION:
1.1 Purpose:
The Gomco Models 6036 and 6037 Constant and Intermittent pumps are designed to provide
two types of vacuum service. Constant suction provides vacuum levels fully adjustable from
0 to 200 mm of mercury with a maximum air flow of 25 liters per minute. For applications that
require mild intermittent suction, the pump will provide 0 to 200 mm of mercury with a maximum
air flow of 4 liters per minute. While using intermittent suction, the user can adjust the amount
of time the vacuum is to be applied (1 to 90 seconds). The amount of time the unit vents to
atmosphere is 12 seconds.
1.2 Features, Model 6036:
Supplied with Model 6036 as standard equipment are:
1. One (1) 600 ml glass collection bottle (used on constant).
2. One (1) 2800 ml glass collection bottle with overflow protection cap assembly (used on
intermittent).
3. Two (2) disposable tubing packages, each containing a 15-inch and a 72*inch length of
clean 1/4 inch I.D. clear flexible PVC tubing.
4. Two (2) packages, of 3 each, of bacteria filters.
5. Compact cart with non-marking casters, easy to clean stainless steel topiwork surface,
illuminated on-off switch, lamps to indicate constant or intermittent service, "on" time
control, vacuum gauge, vacuum regulator and hospital grade plug.
1.2.1 2800 ml Bottle Assembly:
Your Gomco Pump has an overflow protection device called the Qap and Float
Assembly. When collected patient drainage fluids reach the last graduation df your
collection bottle, the vacuum supply to the collection bottle is shutbff by the cap and
float assembly.
1 . 3 Features, Model 6037
Supplied with Model 6037 as standard equipment are:
1. One (1) 1100 ml disposable collection container with overflow protection cap
(used on constant).
2. One (1) 2100 ml disposable collection container with overflow protection cap
(used on intermittent).
3. Two (2) disposable tubing packages, each containing a 15-inch and a 724nch length of
clean 1/4 inch I.D. clear flexible PVC tubing.
4. Two (2) packages, of 3 each, of the bacterial filters.
5. Compact cart with non-marking casters, easy to clean stainless steel top work surface,
illuminated on-off switch, lamps to indicate constant or intermittent service, "on" time
control, vacuum gauge, vacuum regulator and hospital grade plug.
1.4 Bacterial Filter:
The high efficiency bacterial filter is common to both the 6036 and 6037 units. The filter is
custom engineered to prevent fluid and aerosol contamination of mobile suction units. This filter
features a hydrophobic, micro-porous membrane which filters air with maximum efficiency (0.3
micron particles in air), while blocking the flow of aqueous fluids and aerosol contaminants.
The Gomco high efficiency filter protects against suction pumps contamination in the case of
canister overflow as it helps prevent the overflow from reaching the pump.
