2.3.1 ASSKEA secretion aspirators S-series
The ASSKEA secretion aspirators S-series
are exceptionally convenient aspiration de-
vices for stationary use.
The devices are operated via a mains cable
to the 230 V mains power supply. The desired
vacuum is generated by a maintenance-free
vacuum pump. An overtemperature protec-
tion prevents the aspiration device from over-
heating and leads to its automatic switch-off.
After it is switched on via the power switch,
the vacuum pump generates a vacuum
in the tubing system and in the secretion
canister, which is used to aspirate secre-
tion (via a suitable sterile aspiration cathe-
ter). The aspirate is directed away from the
patient and collected in the secretion canis-
ter. Once the secretion canister is full, aspi-
ration is stopped by means of a mechanical
overflow protection integrated into the lid of
the reusable secretion canister or a self-seal-
ing bacterial filter in the disposable liner
´OneWay´.
Flow rate is adjusted by using the vacuum
regulator.
The reusable secretion canister or holder for
the external canister ‘Bag’ is attached by di-
rectly pushing it onto the guide rails on the
housing of the aspiration device (figs. 11,
12). The vacuum connection between the
aspiration device and the secretion canister
is made via the connecting tube (figs. 1, 2,
3(C)).
