Semi-Disposable Configuration

The Laerdal Suction Unit is a portable, powerful and highly reliable unit designed for optimal preparation in emergency situations. The Semi-Disposable Canister configuration has a reusable canister and disposable liner, helping you avoid contact with contaminants.

Recommended by Laerdal themselves over the Reusable Canister version, the Semi-Disposable configuration has an improved canister holder for easy release. The new design also helps you to better visualise the fluid volume in the canister.

Prepared for Emergency Situations

For the assurance you need, Leardal’s Suction Unit device test will tell you in just ten seconds whether the unit is ready for use in the field. The test includes four important requirements for it to pass:

• Blockage in the Suction System
• Vacuum build-up efficiency
• Maximum achievable vacuum level
• Air leakages in the Pump System

The unit automatically charges when connected to an external power source and is able to reach 80% after just three hours. This therefore means the Suction Unit is ready to use when necessary. The power cord can even be connected to a vehicle connection so you can charge on the go.

Improves Patient Safety

For ease of use in difficult situations, the Laerdal Suction Unit has a built-in suction indicator with colour coding. This ensures the correct vacuum strength is selected for children. Combining this with the extra-large dial for ease of use with large gloves, the Suction Unit enables providers to quickly select the correct amount of suction for any given situation.

The display also monitors:

• Power ON Indicator
• External Power Indicator
• Battery Level Indicator
• Vacuum Indicator
• Failure Mode Indicator: LED is lit if a malfunction has been detected
