Inline Male Connectors for DeVilbiss VacuAide Suction Units (Pack of Five)

DeVilbiss VacuAide Suction Machines are exceptionally compact and quiet working medical suction units ideal for use at home or in clinics, which can be operated by medical professionals or carers alike. These Inline Male Connectors (Pack of Five) are a necessary component for using the Flovac Liner System, which helps to greatly improve the hygiene of operating the machine and disposing of fluids.

What Is the Function of These Male-to-Male Adaptors?

These inline connectors form a firmly sealed connection between the 26cm Tubing and the Flovac Disposable Liner, preventing any fluids from escaping. They are a key point of interface between your device and the canister and a necessary component for using the Flovac Liner System.

What Are the Key Benefits of Using the Flovac Liner System?

The DeVilbiss VacuAide Disposable Liner System by Flovac improves upon hygiene and infection control by using fully sealed liners which are very unlikely to spill or leak. It facilitates the safe and easy operation of medical suction systems by enabling potentially infected materials to be suctioned, collected, transported, handled and disposed of whilst reducing the risks to the carer and/or operator.

Do I Need Anything Else?

To make the Flovac liners fully compatible with VacuAide Suction Machines there are some more necessary components, which are sold separately:

• Tubing for DeVilbiss VacuAide Suction Units 26cm (Pack of Five)
• DeVilbiss VacuAide Autoclavable Jar
• Either the DeVilbiss VacuAide Standard Disposable Liners by Flovac or the DeVilbiss VacuAide Gelling Disposable Liners by Flovac

Are These Male-to-Male Adaptors Single Use?

These incline connectors, the 26cm tubing and the disposable canister are all single use and should be disposed of between patients or when the liner becomes full. This is key to maintaining the hygiene of the system.

Are There Any Multi-Buy Options Available?

For the best value possible, we’ve put together bundle of everything you need to operate Flovac liners with your DeVilbiss suction machines. This option comes with fifty of everything you need, and is available for both standard and gelling liners:

• The DeVilbiss VacuAide Standard Disposable Liner, Tube and Connector Kit by Flovac (Pack of 50)
• The DeVilbiss VacuAide Gelling Disposable Liner, Tube and Connector Kit by Flovac (Pack of 50)

How Does This Liner System Work?

The Flovac Liner System consists of individual liners designed for single patient use. Each liner is hermetically sealed; this increases infection control and reduces the risk of contamination, allowing the user to safely collect potentially infected material. It can then be safely suctioned, collected, transported, handled and disposed of whilst reducing risks to the carer and operator.

A built in hydrophobic filter is fixed to the lid of the liner. As soon as liquid touches the filter, due to reaching the maximum one litre capacity of the liner, the filter will stop suction ensuring that overflow does not take place. Since the filter is integral to the sealed liner, it is automatically replaced with each new liner, for the very highest standards in hygiene.

Which Devices Are Compatible with the Flovac Liner System?

We sell two suction machines which are compatible with this liner system, both manufactured by DeVilbiss:

1. The DeVilbiss VacuAide 7305 Portable Suction Machine
2. The DeVilbiss VacuAide 7314 Quiet Suction Unit

DeVilbiss VacuAide 7305 Portable Suction Unit (Grey) and DeVilbiss VacuAide 7314 Quiet Suction Unit (Blue)

What Are the Key Differences Between the DeVilbiss VacuAide 7305 and 7314?

The grey (7305) and blue (7314) models of VacuAide are of similar weights, sizes and have the same maximum level of suction, but they vary significantly in other factors. The blue model operates much more quietly than the grey model, features a more precise pressure gauge and dial and can drop down to 50mmHg suction – allowing it to be used in neonatal application. The blue unit also comes with a more discreet bag, which allows it to be operated in public without the need to take out the device.
