Surgical Suction Askir 230 with battery back up 12V

ersatile Portable Suction for Emergency and Home Healthcare

The CA-MI ASKIR 230/12V BR is an Italian-engineered portable surgical suction unit designed for the aspiration of oral, nasal, and tracheal secretions in adults and children. Its three power supply options ? AC/DC mains adapter, internal rechargeable lead battery, and 12V car adapter ? make it one of the most adaptable suction units available for emergency departments, patient transfer, home care, ward use, and tracheostomy management. CE-marked and compliant with EN 60601-1-11, the ASKIR 230/12V BR is built for clinical environments where continuous, uninterrupted suction is essential.

Non-Stop Operation and Power Flexibility

Unlike duty-cycled suction units, the ASKIR 230/12V BR is approved for non-stop operation when connected to mains power, eliminating interruption during prolonged procedures or resuscitation scenarios. The internal rechargeable lead-acid battery (12V, 4A) provides up to 80 minutes of cordless operation and fully recharges in 240 minutes ? critical for patient transfer and pre-hospital use. A 12V car adapter extends mobile operation further, enabling use in ambulances, patient transport vehicles, and field settings.

Performance and Suction Control

The oilless, maintenance-free piston pump delivers a maximum free air flow rate of 16 L/min and an adjustable maximum vacuum of -0.75 bar (-75 kPa / -563 mmHg), classified as HIGH VACUUM / LOW FLOW to ISO 10079-1. The built-in vacuum meter (displaying both bar and kPa) and vacuum regulator allow precise adjustment of suction pressure to patient requirement, while a noise level of 63.0 dBA keeps operation as unobtrusive as possible in clinical and home settings.

Alarms, Safety, and Collection System

The ASKIR 230/12V BR is equipped with both visual and acoustic low-battery alarms, ensuring the clinician is alerted before battery depletion in mobile scenarios. The 1,000 ml collection jar (polycarbonate Makrolon 2858, autoclavable) includes an overflow protection valve. A 2,000 ml jar configuration is available for higher-volume applications, and Flovac disposable liners in APEC autoclavable material are available upon request for single-use hygienic workflows.

Included Accessories and Options

Each unit is supplied with silicone tubing (?6?10 mm, autoclavable), a conical connector (?8-9-10 mm), a single-patient antibacterial and hydrophobic filter, a CH20 cannula, the AC/DC universal adapter (100?240 V, 50/60 Hz), and a 12V car adapter. An optional stand on castors (REF. 27730) and a carrying bag for the unit and consumables (REF. SP 0207) are available for mobile deployment. The unit weighs 3.50 kg and measures 35 ? 21 ? 18 cm, with a 2-year manufacturer warranty.
