1. 0 GENERAL INFORMATION:

1.1 Purpose:

The Gomco Models 6036 and 6037 Constant and Intermittent pumps are designed to provide two types of vacuum service. Constant suction provides vacuum levels fully adjustable from 0 to 200 mm of mercury with a maximum air flow of 25 liters per minute. For applications that require mild intermittent suction, the pump will provide 0 to 200 mm of mercury with a maximum air flow of 4 liters per minute. While using intermittent suction, the user can adjust the amount of time the vacuum is to be applied (1 to 90 seconds). The amount of time the unit vents to atmosphere is 12 seconds.

1.2 Features, Model 6036:

Supplied with Model 6036 as standard equipment are:

1. One (1) 600 ml glass collection bottle (used on constant).

2. One (1) 2800 ml glass collection bottle with overflow protection cap assembly (used on intermittent).

3. Two (2) disposable tubing packages, each containing a 15-inch and a 72-inch length of clean 1/4 inch I.D. clear flexible PVC tubing.

4. Two (2) packages, of 3 each, of bacteria filters.

5. Compact cart with non-marking casters, easy to clean stainless steel top work surface, illuminated on-off switch, lamps to indicate constant or intermittent service, "on" time control, vacuum gauge, vacuum regulator and hospital grade plug.

1.2.1 2800 ml Bottle Assembly:

Supplied with Model 6037 as standard equipment are:

1. One (1) 1100 ml disposable collection container with overflow protection cap (used on constant).

2. One (1) 2100 ml disposable collection container with overflow protection cap (used on intermittent).

3. Two (2) disposable tubing packages, each containing a 15-inch and a 72-inch length of clean 1/4 inch I.D. clear flexible PVC tubing.

4. Two (2) packages, of 3 each, of the bacterial filters.

5. Compact cart with non-marking casters, easy to clean stainless steel top work surface, illuminated on-off switch, lamps to indicate constant or intermittent service, "on" time control, vacuum gauge, vacuum regulator and hospital grade plug.

1.4 Bacterial Filter:

The high efficiency bacterial filter is common to both the 6036 and 6037 units. The filter is custom engineered to prevent fluid and aerosol contamination of mobile suction units. This filter features a hydrophobic, micro-porous membrane which filters air with maximum efficiency (0.3 micron particles in air), while
