What is the DSU 7 Portable Suction Pump?

The DSU7 is a compact portable suction machine intended as respiratory therapy and wound management at home, in healthcare facilities or nursing homes. It is designed for nasal, oral and bronchial aspiration and provides powerful, hygienic and effective airway clearance on demand.

For mobile or home care teams, it's important to have hospital-quality equipment on hand at all times in case of emergency. The Clinical DSU7 Portable Suction Pump is just that, providing mobile suction for patients in need of airway suctioning and wound management wherever they are. This versatile and easy to use suction machine offers peace of mind and freedom for medical professionals outside the hospital as well as carers at home.

The suction pump is an AC operated suction unit. The high suction performance of 30L per min and maximum pressure of -85kPa, ensures the patient is treated effectively. The variable vacuum regulator lets you adjust the vacuum levels - depending on the required pressure - for each procedure. 

 

 

How does the Portable Suction Unit work?

The Clinical Suction Machine DS7 creates a negative pressure – known as a vacuum - that draws secretions and fluids through a tube connected to a collection cannister.

These fluids are ‘trapped’ in the disposable collection bottle for disposal.
