Where is the time limit indicator on the hosepipes?
The time limit indicator is symbolized by an hourglass-shaped pictogram on the angled remote probe (i.e. the one connecting the hosepipe to the device).
What is the difference between a pressure regulator with bullnose fitting and a pressure regulator with pin-index fitting?
The bullnose fitting is used for large cylinders (more than 4 L in water or 0.8 m3) whereas the pin-index fitting is used for small cylinders. The pin-index fitting is a universal system. The bullnose fitting depends on the standard used in each country.
Suction
What are the available suction levels of the RVTM3?
- High suction: 0-1000 mbar/hPa and 0-760 mmHg - Medium suction: 0-600 mbar/hPa and 0-400 mmHg - Low suction: 0-250 mbar/hPa
What is the maximum suction level of the VENTURI TM ejector?
The maximum suction level of the VENTURI TM is 650 mbar ± 10 %.
What is the suction flow of the VENTURI TM ejector?
The suction flow of the VENTURI TM is 25 l/min at 650 mbar.
How are filters for safety jars packaged?
Up-front plastic filters are delivered in tubes of 10 single-use antibacterial plastic filters for RVTM3 vacuum regulator and for VENTURI TM ejector. Paper filters for the former safety jar of RVTM vacuum regulator and of VENTURI TM ejector are delivered in boxes of 100 single-use antibacterial paper filters.
When must filters for safety jars be changed?
The filter must be changed after each patient.
Does the safety jar require sterilization?
The TM safety jar with plastic filter up-front does not require any sterilization, except in case of accidental liquids' overflow or perforated filter.
What is the difference between the collection jars in polysulfone and the collection jars in polycarbonate?
On the long run, polysulfone is a material much more resistant than polycarbonate. The difference between the two also lies in the sterilization temperature. Collection jars in polysulfone are autoclavable up to 134° C (273° F) whereas those in polycarbonate are autoclavable up to 121° C (249° F).
Do TM collection jars require sterilization?
Polysulfone and polycarbonate collection jars must be sterilized.
For polysulfone and polycarbonate collection jars: Disassemble the jar and cover parts, Submerge each part in a decontaminating or predisinfecting solution (respecting manufacturers' protocols concerning dilution, rinsing and drying times), Clean (do not use abrasive tools), rinse thoroughly, dip during 1 minute in clean water, then dry, Sterilize, respecting manufacturers' protocols (disassembled parts, jar in vertical position, upside down, do not put anything on the top of jars) and respecting the temperatures and sterilization times, Reassemble all the parts together.
Polysulfone collection jars are autoclavable up to 134°C (273°F).
Polycarbonate collection jars are autoclavable up to 121°C (249°F) maximum. Polysulfone sturdiness can be altered by repeated cleanings in washing-machine.
The compatibility of disinfecting products with polysulfone and polycarbonate must be checked. Products containing glutaraldehydes, phenols, aldhydes, alcohols, amino-acids, isopropanol alcohols are not compatible. Do not use solutions for floors and surfaces.
Cristal plastic canisters for TM suction liners are not autoclavable, but only cold sterilizable.
How are single-use TM suction liners packaged?

Can TM rail accessories be fixed onto other rails than the TM rails?
All TM rail accessories can be fixed onto other rails except folding shelves, console tables with horizontal rotating tray and console tables with reinforced support brackets. For these last accessories, the products can be slightly modified in order to be adapted to your rail. In this case, the rail cantilever must be checked carefully.
What is the cantilever?
The cantilever is the space between the wall and the front face of the rail. For TM rail, the cantilever measures 50 mm. If your cantilever is upper or lower than 50 mm, special parts exist for adaptation. Contact us for more information.
