Abstract: A method and process is provided to help increase flow within the piping of a clinical vacuum system under low flow inlet conditions and to re-establish flow under zero flow inlet conditions, among other things. The method and process broadly uses the steps of isolating and accessing the piping of the clinical vacuum system, introducing an enzymatic solution to the piping, and then extracting the solution following exposure of the solution to the piping to remove complex organic materials from the piping. A portable collection canister can be used to measure the amount of enzymatic solution that is put into the piping and removed from the piping to ensure that the system is dry. The collection canister can be connected via hose to a zone valve box of the system or to a service valve of the system.
