Used to provide a low flow, regulated vacuum up to -500 mm Hg for general suction
Description
The Cook Vacuum Pump is designed to maintain a vacuum accurately at a user-specified setting with a range of -10 mmHg to -500 mmHg when configured to display mmHg and a range of -1.0 kPa to -67.0 kPa when configured to display kPa. In either case, the device will maintain the vacuum within ±5 mmHg (0.7 kPa). The device can also boost the vacuum to -500 mmHg (or -67.0 kPa in kPa display mode) from any setting.
Features
A pedal activates the vacuum response at the needle tip. The pump maintains a constant vacuum at its set level.
The boost button on the front panel increases the vacuum pressure to clear blockages in the ovum aspiration needle.
A volume-adjustable tone indicates when vacuum is applied.
The LED can display the vacuum pressure in mm Hg and kPa.
This pump is not intended for use in emergency airway clearing.
