Hydrophobic Bacterial Filtration Between Jar and Pump
The ASKIR Antibacterial Filter creates a protective barrier between the collection jar and the suction pump, preventing bacterial particles, aerosols, and fluid overflow from entering and contaminating the pump mechanism. The hydrophobic membrane repels liquid ingress even during high-flow aspiration of blood, mucus, and surgical fluids, protecting the pump from damage and reducing infection risk. Designed for single-patient use, filters should be replaced between patients to maintain clinical hygiene standards.
Compatibility with ASKIR Suction Units
The VM-SSC30F antibacterial filter is designed for use with the ASKIR C30 mobile suction unit and is compatible with other ASKIR models as a replacement accessory. Regular filter replacement is recommended as part of routine maintenance to ensure optimal suction performance and prevent cross-contamination. The filter is easy to access and replace without tools during routine servicing between procedures.
Maintaining Compliance and Equipment Longevity
Using original replacement filters ensures continued CE compliance and maintains the suction unit’s rated flow and vacuum specifications. Compromised or blocked filters can reduce effective flow rate and increase the risk of pump damage or patient infection. Vital Medical supplies ASKIR antibacterial filters to healthcare facilities operating ASKIR surgical suction equipment throughout South Africa.
