The Moblvac
®
III-cs will use any collection device. However, if you are not using an Ohio Medical
1200cc disposable collection canister, make sure that the collection device that is being used is
equipped with a safety overflow mechanism to protect the pump from accidental overflow.
Ensure that you have the appropriate collection device and suction tubing. Depending on the proce-
dure, ensure that you have the appropriate Chest Drainage Unit, Nasal Gastric tube, aspirating tip, or
wound drain for patient use. The Moblvac
®
III-cs is now ready to place into service.
