Vacuum Assisted Venous Return with the NovoSci Vacuum Controller

In today's medical environment surgeons and perfusionists are utilizing more advanced minimized surgical techniques and seeking alternatives to traditional cardiopulmonary bypass to improve outcomes. The use of Vacuum Assisted Venous Return has been shown to allow increased blood flow rates even when smaller cannula and smaller diameter venous lines are utilized.


NovoSci is pleased to offer the newly redesigned Vacuum Control System (VCS) for use in Vacuum Assisted Venous Return. Utilizing the same robust engineering and fluid-motion regulator as its predecessor the new NovoSci Vacuum Control System is sure to maintain its position as a market leader.


FEATURES
. Newly redesigned . Smaller size, more compact and easily mounted
. Robust design for years of use . 10 Year Warranty
. Fluid motion regulator for precise control of pressure
. Easy view gauge eliminates parallax and allows 180° view
. May be disassembled for full cleaning and steam-autoclave sterilization



Patented Linear Gauge:
Allows accurate readings from 180° field of view and never needs calibration. Each pressure range has a unique color coding.


Durable and fully engineered, the controller offers vacuum regulation from 20 to 90 zmHg with the important addition of a safety vacuum interrupter at -100 mmHg


Mode Selector Valve:
Square knob to easily switch between operating modes (OFF/REG) with the important addition of a safety vacuum interrupter at -100 mmHg


Regulator Adjusting Knob:

Extra large, easy grip knob turns COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to increase suction setting and CLOCKWISE to decrease suction setting. Smooth fluid motion action allows precise regulation of vacuum.
