Warning! The overflow valve may not operate fully against frothing. To reduce frothing
anti-foam agent may be used.
Warning! When replacing a full collection container, be aware of its weight and ensure
handling the container is comfortable to avoid the possibility of spillage.
Transport of the SA unit with a full jar attached is not advised.
3.8 Disposable Liner Systems
The SA range has been designed to accept various disposable liner systems. When fitted,
protection of the unit against overflow is entirely dependent upon the correct use of the appropriate
liner in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions.
Warning! No liability can be accepted by MG Electric for units affected by the occurrence
of overflow when Disposable Liner Systems are being used.
3.8.1 VacSax suction system
• Place liner into collection container and push firmly.
• Push the taper connector on the vacuum tubing from the
suction controller into the vacuum port with a twisting
motion.
• Connect the patient tubing firmly to the patient port to
ensure a good fit.
• Turn on the SA unit.
• Confirm suction is present at the patient tube by occluding
the patient tube end.
• After the suction procedure – disconnect the patient tube and fit stopper located on
rim into the port.
• Turn OFF the SA unit, and remove the liner for disposal.
The collection container may be sterilised by autoclaving at 121°C or by washing with water based
disinfectants. Before autoclaving, rinse the collection container well to remove any detergent.
3.8.2 Abbott Receptal Disposable Suction System
• Place the collection container in the bracket making
sure that the tee connection on the collection container
is tight. Fully extend the liner, and place it into the
collection container. Make sure that the liner is tightly
secured in the collection container.
• The liner incorporates an internal shut off valve, which
protects the vacuum source from contamination.
Connect the vacuum source tubing (from the filter) to
one side of the tee connection and the lid to the
other side using the ‘yellow to yellow’ coding.
• Connect the patient tube to the
patient connection, either directly
or by using the optional elbow
piece, which prevents kinking of
the patient tubing.
• Turn on the SA unit to inflate the liner and the
collection container is now ready for use.
• For maximum safety and to minimise the risk of
contamination when dismantling, the fluid level must not rise above the ‘DO NOT
FILL ABOVE THIS LINE’ mark on the collection container.
