5. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
M vacuum regulator range includes 3 variants:
• M 250: for a vacuum level from 0 to 250 mbar*
(maximum regulator vacuum level)
**Maximum suction fl ow - 55l/min +-5l/min at -250mbar
• M 600: for a vacuum level from 0 to 600 mbar*
(maximum regulator vacuum level)
**Maximum suction fl ow - 65l/min +-5l/min at -600mbar
• M 1000:for a vacuum level from 0 to 1000 mbar*
(maximum regulator vacuum level)
**Maximum suction fl ow - 65l/min +-5l/min at -950mbar
It mainly consists of an outlet quick connector (vacuum source side),
a push-pull on/off valve, control handwheel, a vacuum indicator and a
threaded inlet (patient side).
M 250 variant is fi tted with a negative pressure protection to limit
the vacuum level in case single fault condition.
The pressure relief valve opens at a vacuum - 270 mbar.
The full fl ow at - 290 mbar.
Refer to appendix Nr 1 to see features available on your product.
According to EN ISO 10079-3 it is a device with Medium vacuum.
(Level of vacuum between 20kPa and 60kPa below atmospheric pressure).
* Note that if the medical pipeline vacuum source depression level
is below the M maximum vacuum level, then the maximum
attainable vacuum level is vacuum source depression level and not the
M maximum vacuum level.
** Note that the values apply to device without connected accessories.
At conditions 20°C;1013hPa
Note: The achievable vacuum depends on atmospheric pressure. Every
100m increase in altitude causes a decrease in the achievable vacuum of
about 1.4 kPa.
A. Outlet Quick Connector (medical pipeline vacuum
source Side)
The product is fi tted to the medical gas pipeline vacuum source (terminal
unit) by a vacuum type male probe.
Refer to appendix Nr 1 for quick coupler type and appendix Nr 2 to get
information about connection and release method.
B. Push-pull on/off Valve
M is equipped with a push-pull on/off valve on the side of the
product, to shut off the vacuum source.
The vacuum regulator is ON when the red push-pull valve button has been
pushed on (only the green button shall be visible from the front side of the
vacuum regulator.
