Bacterial filter for Emivac, Aspiret, Askir
The bacterial filter for Emivac, Aspiret, and Askir is a specially designed safety component that protects medical suction pumps from the CA-MI brand. This filter is used in various models, including Emivac, Askir, and Aspiret, and provides an essential barrier against the backflow of liquids, bacteria, and other contaminants into the pump unit. Its effective filtration keeps the internal pump system clean, significantly enhancing the device's reliability and lifespan.
Function and Operation
The bacterial filter is installed between the collection bottle and the pump, in the air hose that transports the suctioned airflow. When liquids or aerosols approach the collection bottle, the filter prevents bacteria or moisture from entering the internal components of the suction pump. This protects not only the pump but also the user from potential contamination via backflow or polluted air.
The filter contains a hydrophobic membrane structure that automatically closes upon contact with moisture, immediately interrupting the suction circuit if the collection bottle accidentally overflows. This eliminates the risk of pump damage or the spread of contaminated material. The filter is designed for single use and should be replaced regularly to ensure optimal performance.
Main Features
- Compatible with CA-MI models: Emivac, Aspiret, and Askir series (including Askir 20, 30, 36, 230, and 230/12V).
- Hydrophobic membrane filter: prevents penetration of moisture and microorganisms.
- Protects the pump against contamination and damage.
- Improves hygiene and safety during use.
- Easy to replace without tools.
- Use: single-use, non-cleanable, not reusable.
- Transparent housing for visual inspection of contamination or moisture.
- Material: medical-grade plastic and hydrophobic PTFE membrane.
- Connection: standard air hose connector for CA-MI suction systems.
Usage and Maintenance
The bacterial filter should be installed between the collection bottle and the suction pump, with the arrow on the housing pointing in the direction of airflow. If the filter becomes discolored, clogged, or comes into contact with liquid, it must be replaced immediately. For intensive use, it is recommended to replace the filter after each patient or at least daily, depending on the application. Replacement is simple and requires no technical knowledge or tools.
The filter is intended as a protective consumable and is part of standard maintenance for CA-MI suction equipment. Timely replacement keeps the suction system hygienic, safe, and performing optimally. Use of original CA-MI filters is recommended to ensure compatibility and reliable operation.
