7305 VacuAide Portable Aspirator

The VacuAide is a small and lightweight portable aspirator. It is primarily used for bronchial / oral hygiene, effective airways clearance and helps to control infection.

The VacuAide is ideal for home or hospital use and meets the stringent ISO 10079-1 standards for emergency transport suction.

It can be used from its internal battery or directly from the power supply.

• High performance capabilities with a vacuum range of 80 - 550 mmHg and a flow range of 0 - 27 l/min.
• Meets the stringent ISO 10079-1 standard.
• Comes complete with a rechargeable battery, 12 V DC in car charger, mains lead and carry case.
• Has a switch mode power supply allowing operation on any AC voltage 100 V - 240 V.
• Has an integrated bacterial filter.
• Automatic float shut-off to prevent overflow into the unit
• The 7305 model is available in two options; the 7305P-U with a 800ml disposable collection bottle or the 7305P-US with a 1200ml re-usable collection bottle.
• Uses a rechargeable battery with 60 minutes run time
• Automatically recharges when connected to the power supply
• 12 V DC capability for vehicle charging

Refer to the AARC Guidelines for appropriate subatmospheric pressures.

• Neonates: 60—80 mm Hg
• Infants: 800—100 mm Hg
• Children: 100—120 mm Hg
• Adults: 100—150 mm Hg

Negative pressures should not exceed 150 mmHg as higher pressures have been shown to cause trauma, hypoxemia and atelectasis.

• Can the VacuAide be used for gastrointestinal suction?
  No. The VacuAide is designed for oral tracheal suctioning. Gastrointestinal suctioning requires automatic intermittent suctioning, and our units provide continuous suctioning.
• How often should the bacterial filter be changed?
  Change bacteria filter if overflow occurs or every two months, whichever comes first.
• Is it necessary to use a scale or gauge when setting the vacuum?
  Absolutely! Always use the vacuum scale or guage provided. If you do not use a scale or gauge, the setting could be off by 50 — 100 mm Hg.
• Is the DeVilbiss 7305 VacuAide approved for airline use?
  Yes, model 7305P (with battery) meets the RTCA/D0-160D section 21 category M allowing use on airlines.
• Can the DeVilbiss 7305 VacuAide be used for Emergency Medical Services in ambulances, fire departments etc?
  Yes, the VacuAide meets emergency suctioning standards.
• How long is the battery run time and will continuous charging harm the unit?
  The battery run time is approx 60 minutes and continuous charging is recommended.
• Do I need a special voltage converter to use my VacuAide in a foreign country?
  A special voltage converter is not needed because the VacuAide has a switch-mode power supply, which automatically adjusts to voltages from 100—240 Volts AC at 60 or 60 Hz. It is, however, necessary to purchase the correct mains lead for the country you are travelling to.
• What are the appropriate guidelines for trachea and nasopharyngeal suctioning?
  Refer to the AARC Guidelines for appropriate subatmospheric pressures - See Features section for the guidelines and reference.
