About this device

A suction machine (aspirator) uses a motor-driven pump to create negative pressure (vacuum) that draws secretions and fluids out of the airway — essential for people who can’t clear their own secretions (tracheostomy patients, some neuromuscular or post-surgical patients), and for caregivers managing airway clearance at home:

• Effective fluid removal — clears airway secretions to help breathing.
• Variable vacuum control (50–560 mm Hg) — adjust the suction strength to the need.
• Quiet & easy (60 dBA) — discreet operation for home or on the go.
• Lightweight & portable — ~4 lb with a carry case; can be operated inside the case.
• Complete kit — canister, tubing, connectors, and bacteria filter included; washable, removable parts for easy maintenance.

Two versions — choose your power:

• SU100AC — AC only (mains power). Lighter, lower cost; for use where an outlet is available.
• SU100DC — AC and DC, with an internal rechargeable lithium battery (~1 hour per charge) and a DC/car-adapter option — for portability, travel, and outages. Its battery (48.84 Wh) meets the FAA 100 Wh guideline for flights.

How strong is the suction?
Variable, from 50 to 560 mm Hg, so you can adjust it to the need.

What canisters does it use?
Disposable suction canisters (800/1000/1200cc), including the Sunset 800cc canister (RES023AW).

What comes with it?
The machine, carry bag, 800cc canister, AC adapter and cord, 6 ft tubing, two connectors, and a bacteria filter.

Do I need a prescription?
A suction machine (E0600) may require a prescription depending on your insurer/situation — contact us to confirm.

How is it delivered?
The AC/DC version contains a lithium battery, so shipping options may vary — contact us to confirm.
