Choice of Collection Containers

The SAM e.p.s is fitted with MGE’s SAM 1 autoclavable 1000cc collection bottle. However if required, the SAM e.p.s can also be fitted with a choice of disposable collection systems including Serres, Abbott, VacSax and Pennine. Other systems can also be fitted on request.

Digital display and Onboard Lighting

The SAM e.p.s controls and display panel are fully illuminated for easy visability during use. However as an additional aid in low light situations, the unit is also fitted with a small but bright LED light capable of lighting the whole unit clearly should it be necessary (e.g. to help when changing filters or piping or to check the liquid level in the collection vessel).

Simple Control

Control of the unit is simple with a single rotating On/Off switch, which is also the vacuum level control. The user can choose from a range of fixed settings based on typical medical requirements, making it easy to operate even if the user is wearing thick protective gloves.

Data Logging and Service light

As an aid to medical engineering, usage of the unit is logged and stored in the unit and this can be downloaded to a computer using the optional data cable and download software.

As well as this facility, the unit also has a Service light on it, which is set to illuminate after either 500 hrs usage or 500 battery charges. This allows a visual notification that the unit should be checked and is useful where a machine maybe sitting on a crash trolley and actual usage is hard to predict.

Extra Protection

Contamination and cross-infection control are vitally important areas especially in a unit that can be moved around locations both inside and outside and here the SAM e.p.s also excels. As you would expect, the SAM e.p.s is fitted with overflow control and also hydrophobic anti bacterial filters as standard. In addition it can also be coated in MGE’s new anti-bacterial coating, BioCloak®, giving an extra level of protection 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
