Model 3704 Intermitting Suction Regulator - 10 Year Warranty!

Model 3704 CLINICAL USE The Intermitting suction Regulator may be used as an adjunct to suction therapy, where alternate suction and release of vacuum are indicated to promote drainage. By switching modes from OFF to CONTINUOUS, normal Regulator function with excellent control of vacuum is available immediately. In the INTERMIT mode, alternate suction and venting to atmosphere are provided automatically. With the collection unit mounted above the patient, large venting ports in the Intermittor periodically reverse the flow in the catheter, to assist in clearing catheter ports. DESCRIPTION The new 3704 Intermitting regulator incorporates all of the new features of our new 3700 series and adds an intermitting module. The module has three positions, Off, Intermit, and Continuous. As there is no line position, line vacuum cannot be applied to the patient. The 3704 also has our 10 year warranty on all parts and labor. The easy to view gage allows wide angle viewing and can be read from a 180o field of vision, eliminating parallax in viewing. The self cleaning gauge, comprised of only 3 moving parts, ensures low repair costs. By design, there is no calibration. The gauge can be assembled/disassembled in less than a minute. Boehringer Laboratories’ Intermitting Suction Regulators give the clinician the advantage of intermitting suction capability in a more compact body. The 3704 is a true intermittor, supplying vacuum and atmospheric pressure alternately, and incorporates the large flow characteristics which have made Boehringer Regulators outstanding for vacuum regulation under high flow conditions. These same flow characterisitcs also give very rapid atmospheric venting for clearing the catheter. The newly designed shifting module provides a unit that is tolerant of water, sputum and blood, in case of canister overflow. In most cases, water purging will be all that is required to reestablish operation. The timing valve is completely seperate from bodily fluids and filtered from external air. Concern about cross contamination and infection control has led us to design Suction Regulators which are totally sterilizable. The Model 3704 Intermitting Suction Regulator can be disassembled and reassembled for cleaning and sterilization in minutes. The units can be safely sterilized by steam, Cidex, EtO or Sterrad without damage. Our 3704 Intermitting Suction Regulator features a new design to save even more weight over our existing 7702L Intermitting Regulator. Weighing just 1.65 pounds, the 3704 Regulator's virtually all-metal construction will withstand abuse and promptly pay for itself in maintenance cost. FEATURES and SPECIFICATIONS VACUUM: 20-200 mm.
