It is connected via dedicated vacuum tubing to the vacuum terminal unit (wall outlet) of a vacuum pipeline system and powered via a hospital's central vacuum system. It generally includes a regulator, tubing, an overflow trap, plastic/glass collection container(s), a suction tip, and possibly moisture/microbial filters. The regulator controls the vacuum in the suction tubing for the removal of materials into the collection container. This system can be used in a wide variety of hospital settings, but is limited to connection to a central vacuum system.
