The CA-MI New Askir 118 Basic is a desk-type electric suction unit for the aspiration of body fluids, oral, nasal and tracheal aspiration in adults or children with an impressive maximum airflow rate of 36l/min. This device is particularly suitable for different applications: utilisation in hospital wards, for tracheotomy or in post-operative therapy at home, for suction of body liquids and for minor surgery. It is ideal for aural micro-suction and ENT purposes.

The new "PROXIMITY" function allows the device to be activated or deactivated via an infra-red proximity sensor (detecting the presence of the hand from a distance of tenths of centimetres without touching the suction unit) and it prevents and avoids possible cross-contamination between patients as they are treated in turns.

Its dimensions, the convenient carrying handle and the extreme ease of use make it suitable for use in outpatient settings, in wards / hospital wards and for home-care treatments for which the device has been specifically certified in compliance with EN 60601-1-11 "use in home-care". It has been designed to offer ease of transport and continuous use, thanks to an electronic system that manages the power supply. The lithium battery with which the device is equipped and the pressure switch (installed directly on the internal circuit board of the device) ensure intelligent use automatically adjusting the suction power, consequently increasing the battery life and decreasing the noise produced.

Please be aware that suction units are CE certified for the intended purpose to remove material from the airway or respiratory support system and infectious materials from wounds. They will therefore be classified as an adapted device if used aurally, and certain rules must be followed as governed by the MHRA. It's not difficult to comply and you can find help and more information here.
