Uniquely Designed Canister

The unit's filter automatically stops suction/flow when the canister is full or if the filter becomes saturated (e.g. if the unit tips onto its side during use). Once wet, the filter forms a gel that prevents the ingress of fluid into the pump. The canister itself has an internal filter in the lid and mechanical shutoff valve that protects against contamination and overflow.

To increase filtration efficiency, the vacuum tube may be replaced with a High Efficiency Filter Kit. The kit is used in situations where there is a high risk of cross-contamination.
