MEDAP VENTA SP 26

Compact bronchial
aspirator for universal,
continuous ward use

Conventional bronchial aspirators have a control dial that does not show which vacuum is set. That also means it is not possible to recognise whether the vacuum has been changed since the last time suction was performed. Thus, the set vacuum must be checked by kinking the suction tube before each suction process. With the vacuum controller on the MEDAP VENTA SP 26, the vacuum setting is particularly quick and easy to recognise thanks to the recessed grip. The vacuum controller always indicates the set vacuum. There is no need for time-consuming checking and readjustment of the set vacuum before each suction process.

An effective overflow protection device can be connected to conventional aspirators, but it doesn’t have to be. In practice, the overflow protection device is frequently forgotten, causing oversuction of the aspirator. However, oversuction always results in costly repairs which usually involve replacing the entire motor. With the MEDAP VENTA SP 26, the suction tube cannot be connected directly to the aspirator. A special hydrophobic bacterial and viral filter must first be inserted into the MEDAP VENTA SP 26 before the suction tube can be connected to it.

The hydrophobic bacterial and viral filter must be replaced in the event of oversuction. In this case, the replacement of the filter costs significantly less than a repair due to the ingress of secretion into the aspirator. Furthermore, the filter must be changed if the vacuum displayed is stronger than –300 bar / –30 kPa when the vacuum controller is in the ‘max.’ position and the suction tube is open.
