High-Flow Surgical Suction for Professional Clinical Environments
The CA-MI ASKIR C30 is an Italian-engineered surgical suction unit designed for professional aspiration of body fluids ? oral, nasal, and tracheal secretions ? in adults and children. Classified as HIGH VACUUM / HIGH FLOW to ISO 10079-1, the C30 is a significant step up from portable low-flow units, making it appropriate for operating theatres, procedure rooms, wards, and clinical settings where sustained, high-volume suction is required. Its five-castor stand provides stable, manoeuvrable deployment across departments without fixed installation.
Suction Performance and Vacuum Control
The oilless, maintenance-free piston pump delivers a maximum free air flow rate of 40 L/min and an adjustable maximum vacuum of -0.80 bar (-80 kPa / -600 mmHg). The built-in vacuum meter ? displaying in both bar and kPa ? and vacuum regulator allow the clinician to dial in precise suction pressure appropriate to the procedure and patient, from gentle mucosal aspiration through to higher-volume surgical field clearance. Noise level is 61.5 dB(A).
Non-Stop Operation
The ASKIR C30 is approved for non-stop duty cycle operation when connected to mains power (230V, 50Hz, 110VA), making it suitable for prolonged procedures without the 30-minute duty cycle limitation of smaller portable units. This continuous availability is a critical requirement in surgical and high-dependency clinical contexts.
Dual Collection System and Patient Circuit
The C30 is supplied with dual liquid collection jars with overflow valve protection, preventing fluid ingress into the pump under high-volume collection conditions. The patient circuit uses autoclavable silicone tubing (?8/14 mm) with bi-conical connectors (?10/11/12 mm), and a single-patient antibacterial and hydrophobic filter is included as standard ? providing an additional microbial barrier between the collection system and the pump.
Mobility and Construction
Mounted on a five-castor stand measuring 32 ? 99 ? 30 cm and weighing 6.5 kg, the C30 is easily repositioned between bays and rooms. CA-MI’s Italian manufacturing pedigree is reflected in the unit’s construction quality and compliance with international surgical suction standards.
