Operation
The Transposal Ultra Infectious Fluid Management System consists of carts for fluid collection and the
evac for fluid disposal. Carts collect up to 52 liters of surgical fluids without the need to tandem multiple
suction canisters. In addition, each Ultra unit‟s on-board vacuum pump replaces or improves facility wall
vacuum performance when inadequate suction is otherwise present.
Once connected to a 120 VAC electrical outlet, cart reservoirs collect fluids from one to three separate sites.
Ultra Duo Fluid Carts have two 16.5 liter reservoirs and Ultra Quad Fluid Carts have four 13.0 liter
reservoirs. Reservoirs can be used with wall vacuum and/or the on-
board vacuum pump.
A single use lid (Figure 2) or manifold (Figure 3) is used to make
suction tube connections from the field to the cart. The Ultra Duo
uses two single use lids or manifolds and the Ultra Quad uses four lids
or manifolds. New lids are pressed on to the top of cart reservoirs or
new manifolds are inserted into the housings. On carts with the single
use lid, only one sealed, cleaned reservoir is used per patient. Carts are
removed from the OR suite for processing after all reservoirs have
been used, or at the end of the day. On carts with the single use cart
manifold, the manifold is changed between patients to allow for multi-
patient fluid collection. The carts are removed for processing at the
end of every day.
Cart processing is accomplished with
an evac (Figure 4) located in an OR
utility closet or decontamination
room. Evacs empty, clean, and rinse
reservoirs for reuse. The evac‟s water,
drain, and sensor lines are easily
connected to the cart using a drip-less
all-in-one coupler connection. Carts
are powered by the evac coupler
connection during reservoir
processing.
