Model 7701

Continuous: 0-200 mmHg

Clinical Use

The 7700 Series suction Regulators are designed to be used in the Recovery Room, Operating Room, Intensive Care Unit, and patient bedside for intermediate levels of suction, as well as full line vacuum.

Description

Boehringer Laboratories’ Continuous Suction Regulator is an accurate, rugged unit which is cost effective to purchase and maintain. Our design uses half as many parts as the competition. With fewer parts, reliability increases and cost of operation decreases. The Continuous Suction Regulator’s virtually all-metal construction will withstand abuse and promptly pay for itself in maintenance cost.

Model 7700 includes an integral three-way control valve as a standard feature. The control valve switches to OFF, REGULATE and LINE modes in sequence. The ease with which the unit can be shut off helps to conserve vacuum in over-loaded systems.

Model 7701 is identical to the 7700 but without the control valve. The regulator can be shut off via the front adjustment knob.

Large, straight-through ports ensure maximum flow on demand in the REGULATE mode, which is especially important for systems with marginal vacuum capacity. This configuration also facilitates cleaning. Our Regulators can be disassembled and reassembled for cleaning and sterilization in less than one minute. Infection Control Committees have enthusiastically welcomed our Regulators which can be sterilized by gas, steam autoclave, Cidex, or pasteurization without damage.

Warranty Information

We guarantee suction regulator parts and labor for five years. We will replace free of charge any part (except gauge which has a one year warranty) that fails on our suction regulator for five years from date of purchase. Our adjustable-zero vacuum gauge cuts gauge service dramatically. Additionally, we incorporate a spring-mounted movement which makes the gauge more tolerant of shock.
