Surgical Suction Askir 20

Reliable Portable Suction for Clinical and Home Healthcare

The CA-MI ASKIR 20 is an Italian-engineered portable surgical suction unit designed for effective aspiration of secretions from the nose, mouth, and trachea. Built to meet EN 60601-1-11 ? the international standard for medical electrical equipment used in home healthcare environments ? the ASKIR 20 performs equally well on hospital wards, in clinics, and in domiciliary care settings. Its compact design and self-contained accessory kit make it a practical, ready-to-use solution wherever consistent airway clearance is required.

Suction Performance

The ASKIR 20 delivers a flow rate of 16 L/min and achieves a maximum vacuum of -0.75 bar (-75 kPa / -563 mmHg), providing sufficient negative pressure for effective secretion management across a range of clinical applications. The unit operates on a non-continuous duty cycle of 30 minutes on followed by 30 minutes off, preserving motor integrity and maintaining reliable suction performance over repeated use sessions.

Collection Jar and Patient Circuit

The 1,000 ml collection jar is manufactured from autoclavable polycarbonate and incorporates an overflow protection valve that prevents fluid from entering the pump under high-volume conditions. The patient circuit uses silicone tubing (?6?10 mm) that is fully autoclavable, supporting thorough reprocessing between patients. A 140 cm patient tube provides practical reach for bedside, stretcher, and wheelchair-side use.

Included Accessories and Infection Control

Each ASKIR 20 is supplied with a conical connector compatible with ?8, ?9, and ?10 mm fittings, a CH20 suction cannula, a single-patient antibacterial and hydrophobic filter, and a standard power cord. The hydrophobic filter provides a secondary barrier against fluid and microbial ingress into the pump, supporting safe single-patient use protocols and reducing cross-contamination risk.

Construction and Compliance

The ASKIR 20 carries an IP21 ingress protection rating, confirming resistance to vertically dripping water and suitability for clinical environments. CA-MI’s Italian design and manufacturing standards are reflected in the unit’s robust construction and full compliance with EN 60601-1-11, making it a dependable choice for procurement across both institutional and home care applications.
