Product Details

DeVilbiss VacuAide 7305 Portable Suction Machine

The Devilbiss Vacuaide 7305 P-U Portable Suction Machine is a compact and lightweight suction unit designed to discretely carry out oral, tracheal or nasal suction for a wide variety of medical purposes. Ideal for home use, this suction machine meets stringent international standards and has long been a favourite of carers and nurses in primary care environments.

Your Purchase of the VacuAide 7305 Portable Suction Machine will include the following:

  • 1 x VacuAide 7305 Portable Suction Unit
  • 1 x Disposable canister 800ml

What Are the Benefits of the VacuAide 7305 Portable Suction Machine?

This suction unit is much more compact and easy to carry than some others available on the market. It is also very long lasting and reliable, with easily available replacement parts for comfortable longevity. Its intuitive operation makes it perfect for use by non-professional carers with patients at home, as well as in professional medical settings.

Is This a Hygienic Device?

Several measures have been taken to ensure that the VacuAide 7305 is extremely hygienic for use in medical contexts. It includes an internal float shutoff switch and a splash guard to prevent fluid from escaping the canister, and its integrated bacterial filter helps to further protect the internals of the device from becoming contaminated.

The 800ml canister supplied by default is for single patient use only, but can be washed in between uses by that patient. In cases where the patient represents an infection risk to the practitioner, it is advisable to use the Flovac Liner System.

Features of the VacuAide 7305 Portable Suction Machine

For reliable and effective aspiration, the VacuAide 7305 is equipped with the following:

  • Single power switch and pressure dial – for easy and intuitive operation
  • High performance capabilities – up to 550mmHg suction and 27 l/min fluid flow
  • Small, lightweight design – allows the unit to be transported easily and carried in public discreetly
  • Integrated bacterial filter – prevents contamination of device between patients and ensures long-term function
  • Automatic float shut-off – allows for additional ease of mind during use by preventing effluent overflow
  • Rechargeable battery – generates up to 60 minutes of continuous run-time per charge
  • Automatically recharges when plugged in – so the device is ready whenever you need it
  • Supplied with two chargers – for mains charging and DC charging directly from a vehicle

How Does the Canister Work?

The standard 800ml collection jar has been designed to minimise the risk of back-flow from the jar into the suction unit itself. It includes an automatic shut-off float, which stops the machine when the fluid has risen above a certain level, and an internal splash-guard, to keep fluid within the canister. It is for single-patient use only, and should be disposed off between users.

Is There a Larger or Re-Usable Canister Available?

An alternative to the standard 800ml canister is the 1200ml canister sold as an optional alternative. Not only does this option feature a larger volume, it is also autoclavable, allowing you to sterilise it in between patients. This almost completely eliminates the need to replace the canister.

What Is the Flovac Disposable Liner System?

While a standard canister reduces the risk of spillage or cross contamination, for patients who represent an infection risk to the practitioner or to other patients it is advisable to utilise more stringent infection control routines. The Flovac Liner System utilises fully sealed, disposable collection-jar liners, which can be disposed of in your medical waste disposal system without any risk of spilling or leaking effluent.

What Are the Applications for This Suction Machine?

The powerful and variable suction of this machine – between 80 and 550mmHg – holds utility across the medical, dental and veterinary fields. It is most often utilised, however, in primary and secondary care contexts for these three procedures:

  • Oral suction
  • Tracheal suction
  • Nasal suction

Is This Suction Appropriate for Neonatal Care?

No, the minimum suction produced by this unit is 80mmHg and is unsuitable for neonatal care. An alternative suction machine manufactured by DeVillbis, the VacuAide 7314 can drop down to 50mmHg for these applications.

What Are the Benefits of the Carry Case?

Particularly for patients who need to make use of suction several times throughout the day, a carry bag can make the VacuAide much more convenient to carry around and more discrete in public locations. Made from sturdy canvas, this reliable custom designed bag features all the pockets you need to transport your full suction apparatus.

When Should I Replace the Filter?

Since the filter is designed to keep bacteria from contaminating or damaging your device it is vital that you change it regularly. It should be changed in any of the following situations:

  1. If it becomes wet (in which case it will immediately close-up)
  2. In between patients/when disposing of a canister
  3. When it swells up and blocks the tube

If the device is being used for the same patient, this should be approximately every six weeks, but can vary significantly depending on use.

Which Care Contexts Is the VacuAide 7305 Portable Suction Unit Appropriate For?

While its medical suction is appropriate for a wide range of medical applications which can be useful across the sector, this suction machine is most popular at the primary care level, including care carried out regularly at home. Watch the video below for an example of it being used on a patient with a tracheostomy at home by a primary care giver:

Are There Any Other Models of DeVilbiss Suction Machine Available for Purchase?

We stock another, even quieter model of DeVilbiss Suciton Machine. The DeVilbiss VacuAide 7314 Quiet Suction Unit (sometimes referred to as the blue unit) offers even quieter running than the 7305 model (sometimes called the grey unit), with an intuitive and up-to-date pressure altering system.

What Are the Key Differences Between the DeVilbiss VacuAide 7305 and 7314?

The grey (7305) and blue (7314) models of VacuAide are of similar weights, sizes and have the same maximum level of suction, but they vary significantly in other factors. The blue model operates much more quietly than the grey model, features a more precise pressure gauge and dial and can drop down to 50mmHg suction – allowing it to be used in neonatal application. The blue unit also comes with a more discrete bag, which allows it to be operated in public without the need to take out the device.

Is There an Option for Service or Repair?

Does My Purchase Include a Catheter or Yankauer?

Is This Device Supplied with a Warranty?
