Description
The VacuAide Compact Suction Unit is the smallest and strongest home care suction unit of its kind!
For nearly 50 years, DeVilbiss Healthcare has set the standard of excellence in the homecare suction device category. Now these safety and performance advantages are built into the compact DeVilbiss VacuAide that is designed to fit the active lifestyles of today's customers. In fact, the VacuAide Compact is the smallest and strongest suction unit of its kind.
With its internal, rechargeable battery, this DeVilbiss VacuAide suction unit is for those on the go who don't want to be stuck having to find a power outlet. The battery will power the suction unit for 20 minutes and the battery is charged anytime the unit is plugged into an AC outlet.
The powerful suction of the Compact VacuAide makes it perfect for removing secretions, mucus, and other fluids from the airways of patients who are unable to do so on their own.
It meets the RTCA/DO160D Aircraft Standard, the ISO-10079 Suction Standard and the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) guidelines for neonatal, infant, child and adult home care suctioning. See more test results below.
