PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS/SPECIFICATIONS
Boehringer Suction Regulators
The VA Salt Lake City Health Care System (VASLCHCS) currently owns 300+ Boehringer Suction Wall Units. New regulations require three regulators in each critical care area patient room; SICU (10 rooms x 3=30), MICU (8 rooms x 3=24), Telemetry (14 rooms x 2=28). The facility is currently showing a shortfall of these wall regulators in telemetry, PACU, and surgery rooms.
The VASLCHCS has trial tested several brands of regulators and Boehringer Suction Units is the choice of our trial committee. The previous units required costly maintenance and repairs per unit, and a short warranty period. Boehringer' s current warranty is 12 years per units, best in the industry, so the VASLCHCS will incur zero cost in maintenance and repairs.
Care 4 is the ONLY four mode suction regulator. It allows standardization to use the same suction regulator throughout the hospital. Emergency Departments, Operating Rooms, Recovery Rooms, ICU's, Step Down units and procedure areas at the VASLCHCS will have a single durable instrument for all of their clinical suction needs.
The Care 4 provides patients with a suction device that has a dedicated FULL LINE vacuum mode and cannot be manually adjusted to potentially unsafe suction ranges. A current practice that allows the clinician to unknowingly expose patients to high vacuum, or allow for indwelling catheters to be left for long periods at high vacuum. The design of the Care 4 maintains the intermitting and continuous modes to vacuum levels clinically appropriate for routine adult interventions, but if higher levels are needed for emergent or surgical needs the clinician can quickly select this level of vacuum. A safety interlock also prevents inadvertent application this level of high vacuum.
The Care 4 will be used hospital-wide for suction therapy procedures needing Continuous of Intermitting suction including closed suction, deep suction and oral care. Also may be used in areas need high-flow, high-vacuum on demand.
