Surgical Suction Askir 230 – Battery

The Surgical Suction Askir 230 is a portable, battery-operated suction device used in medical and surgical settings for aspirating bodily fluids such as mucus, blood, and serous fluids. It is particularly useful for minor surgical procedures and in emergency situations where mobility is essential. Here’s a breakdown of its features and applications:

Key Features:

• Battery-Operated: Allows for portability and is ideal for situations where power outlets are inaccessible. Typically, it includes a rechargeable battery for extended use.
• Suction Capacity: The Askir 230 has adjustable suction levels, suitable for a range of procedures that require varying suction strength. This flexibility makes it suitable for both minor surgical and emergency applications.
• Lightweight and Compact: The device’s design emphasizes portability, making it suitable for emergency response, patient transport, and field use.
• Fluid Collection: Includes a canister to safely collect fluids during suction, with easy disposal and cleaning mechanisms to maintain hygiene.
• Safety Features: Often equipped with overflow protection to prevent contamination and backflow, as well as filters for enhanced safety.

Applications:

• Emergency Medicine: Useful in ambulances or during patient transport where suctioning is needed on the go.
• Minor Surgical Procedures: Supports procedures that involve small amounts of fluid removal in outpatient or field settings.
• Home Use: May be used for patients who require respiratory assistance or frequent mucus suctioning, under healthcare provider guidance.

• Specifications:

  • Vacuum Range: Adjustable up to -0.80 bar (approximately -600 mmHg), allowing precise control over suction intensity depending on the procedure.
  • Flow Rate: Capable of achieving a suction flow rate of approximately 20 liters per minute, providing efficient and reliable aspiration for a range of fluids.
  • Collection Canister Capacity: Usually includes a 1-liter or 2-liter autoclavable canister, which safely collects fluids with easy disposal options.
  • Battery Life: Built-in rechargeable battery typically provides around 45–60 minutes of continuous use on a full charge, ideal for transport or emergency situations.
  • Recharge Time: Full recharge typically takes around 120 minutes (2 hours), which can vary depending on the usage pattern.
  • Weight: Approximately 4–5 kg (varies by model), making it lightweight and easy to carry for emergency responders.
  • Dimensions: Roughly 350 mm x 210 mm x 180 mm (can vary slightly by model), ensuring it remains compact for easy transport and storage.
  • Noise Level: Operates at around 60 dB, designed to minimize discomfort for patients during use.

  Key Features:

  • Dual Power Mode: Can operate on both battery and AC power, allowing it to function both in the field and in clinical settings without interruption.
  • Overflow Protection: Equipped with an overflow protection mechanism that prevents fluid from reaching the pump and minimizes contamination risk.
  • Filter System: Incorporates bacterial filters to prevent contamination, ensuring safe and hygienic use in a clinical environment.
  • Portability: Designed for easy mobility with a handle and lightweight construction, making it ideal for ambulances, home care, and emergency use.
  • Low Maintenance: The device is easy to clean and sterilize, with parts that can be removed and reassembled quickly for efficient turnaround.
