DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING AND MONITORING VACUUM PRESSURE IN SYSTEMS FOR THE SUCTION OF BIOLOGICAL SECRETIONS

摘要

The present invention concerns a vacuum pressure control and monitoring device for aspiration of biological secretions from respiratory routes, as well as of other biological fluids. The proposed device consists of a vacuum pressure regulating valve integrated to a monitoring system, which can be coupled together a hospital vacuum network and portable aspiration apparatus in ambulatory and household environments. The said device is designed to control and monitor maximum vacuum aspiration pressures, in this way preventing injuries during aspiration procedures.
