Aspirators, Emergency Scope of this Product Comparison

This Product Comparison covers battery-powered portable emergency aspirators that are used in

airway emergencies in the hospital and in the field. Pneumatically powered units and manual units that

do not use batteries are excluded.

For more information on aspirators, see the following Product Comparisons:

Aspirators, Thoracic Aspirators, Uterine

Purpose

Portable emergency aspirators are used to remove

obstructing secretions, blood, or vomitus from a

patient’s airway to keep air passages to the lungs

open and to allow spontaneous or mechanical

ventilation. Suctioning can be either oropharyngeal

(to prepare for emergency intubation or to remove

secretions from the upper airway above the glottis) or

tracheal (to remove secretions and to maintain the

airway of an intubated patient).

In the hospital, these aspirators are useful in areas that do not have access to the central vacuum

supply and in areas where the central system may be inadequate.

In emergency medical services (EMS) use, emergency aspirators are usually used for oropharyngeal

suctioning. In some areas, emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics are trained in

intubation and advanced airway maintenance in which, after suctioning, a rescuer intubates the clear

airway with an endotracheal tube and performs tracheal aspiration. Tracheal aspiration may also be

required during interhospital transport of intubated patients.

Principles of operation

The typical components of battery-powered emergency

aspirators include a suction (vacuum) pump, tubing (catheters),

regulators and gauges, a collection canister, batteries and a

charger, and a carrying case. These units can rest on a storeroom

shelf, on a bedside stand in the hospital, or on a shelf in the

ambulance.

Aspirators, Emergency

Figure 2. Rotary-vane suction pump

Vacuum pumps

The main component of an emergency aspirator is the vacuum pump, which creates the suction

necessary for aspiration. The pumps of most emergency aspirators are diaphragm pumps, in which a

mechanical drive flexes a rubber diaphragm back and forth in a chamber, alternately increasing and

decreasing the chamber volume and lowering and raising the pressure (see Figure 1). One-way valves

direct compressed air to the exhaust outlet and

allow suctioned air to enter the vacuum inlet.

Some units, however, use rotary-vane pumps,

in which sliding vanes move volumes of gas in

a rotary motion (see Figure 2). This type of

pump increases the volume of the chamber

between vanes on the inlet side to draw in gas

and then compresses the gas as it approaches

the outlet.

The vacuum level of some emergency

aspirators can be adjusted from a high setting

for rapidly clearing the oropharynx to a lowersetting for performing traumatic tracheal

suctioning. Most units reduce the vacuum level

by bleeding air into the system.

For oropharyngeal suctioning, the portable aspirator should provide a vacuum level of ≥400 mm Hg

(typically 500 mm Hg or more) with the collection canister in place and the suction tube occluded. Free-

flow of ≥ 25 L/min is also recommended. (Free-flow is the flow achieved when the tubing is completely

open and the vacuum level is zero.) Rapidly suctioning the most tenacious vomitus and/or mucus

encountered in patients is one of the most demanding applications of portable aspirators; therefore,

meeting this requirement is essential. For a given suction tip and hose, this depends on reaching a high

vacuum level in minimum time. The unit should be able to increase suction from 0 to 300 mm Hg in 4

seconds or less.Most units have vacuum regulators and

gauges that allow the delivery of variable

suction levels suitable for either

oropharyngeal or tracheal suctioning. Certain

models have a regulator but no gauge;

instead, pressure graduations are marked on a

regulator control screw to allow the operator

to set the collection canister’s approximate

vacuum level.

The aspirated materials are collected in a

disposable or reusable canister connected between the patient and the suction source.

Disposable aspirate bags are placed inside the

collection canister. Reusable canisters are

typically used with liners to allow for easy and safe cleaning.

Overflow protection is often provided to help prevent aspirate from entering and polluting the pump,

controls, and environment and from contaminating personnel. Some aspirators feature combination

float/rubber splash guards—as part of the regulator in the canister lid—to protect against overflow, while

others may have mechanical shutoff systems in the canister top to prevent overflow. In some cases, the

disposable canister can also be equipped with a hydrophobic or bacterial filter. Users should be aware

that filters will reduce the maximum flow rates.

Batteries and chargers

Most portable emergency aspirators userechargeable lead-acid gel-cell batteries;

others use nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) or nickel-

metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery packs. To

charge their batteries, the units draw power

from an AC line, from an ambulance DC-to-

AC inverter, or directly from the ambulance’s

12 VDC electrical system.

Some units are equipped with a low-

battery alarm light. Some aspirators have

indicators that light when the battery charger

is connected both to the unit and to wallpower, allowing quick confirmation of proper charger connection and internal connection to the battery

circuit. Certain models are available with an optional manual pump in case battery power is lost;

however, the manual pump is practical only if an extra person is available to operate it.

Portable aspirators are usually supplied with a carrying case. The two most typical styles are hard

plastic and soft-pack cases. A portable hard plastic case can protect the pump from mechanical shocks

during EMS use; a soft case, although not as durable as a hard case, is usually lighter.

Reported problems

To reduce the risk of trauma resulting from excessive vacuum levels in tracheal suctioning, the

portable emergency aspirator should be able to limit the suction applied to the tubing to a lower level

(e.g., 80 to 120 mm Hg) than that used for oropharyngeal suctioning and should consistently maintain thelevel within 10%, regardless of vibrations and other mechanical disturbances. Errors in displayed vacuum

levels result from both gauge inaccuracy and poor placement of the gauge in the system to measure

vacuum. Typically, a gauge will be most accurate if it is located at the canister. A gauge placed near the

pump can produce falsely high readings. To check the maximum vacuum level at a given regulator

setting, the user should read the gauge when the suction catheter is totally occluded.

Units without shutoff devices may allow aspirated material to flow through the pump, eventually

forcing it to stop. This could cause suctioning to be interrupted for several minutes while the canister is

emptied, the pump is cleaned, and the unit is restarted. Cleaning or overflow may also expose users to

infectious material. Smaller-capacity canisters can increase the risk of overflow and may need to be

changed more often, especially in models without adequate overflow protection. If overflow occurs,

however, the system should be easy to clean and to return quickly to service.Infection control practices require that aspirate not be released routinely into the environment.

Compared to disposable canisters, reusable canisters pose greater infection risks during handling and

require many safeguards when emptying, cleaning, and disinfecting. Operators should use universal

precautions, including wearing gloves, face shields or masks, and gowns, when performing these

procedures. Hospitals are usually better staffed and equipped for this service than EMS areas; however,

even hospitals usually choose disposables. Manufacturer instructions for disinfecting disposable

equipment, as well as for disinfecting the suction pump, should be strictly followed to prevent cross-

contamination. In addition, used canisters and other disposables must be disposed of in accordance with

state and local medical waste regulations.

Larger units can be difficult to carry and remove quickly from their cases at an emergency site. Units

with limited storage space can be difficult to pack and to close without crimping the hose. A crimped

hose may cause problems during use because the vacuum inside the hose could cause it to collapse andrestrict flow. Some units include hose wraps to help alleviate this problem, but unless they are wrapped

carefully, hoses can be difficult to untangle.

Exhaust from some pumps is vented inside the case and could be partially occluded by an object

pressing against the outside of the case, possibly diminishing the performance of the aspirator.

Users should also be aware that vibrations caused by the vacuum pump may cause a portable

aspirator to move or “walk” during use when placed on a flat, smooth surface.

Battery-powered devices will often be less dependable than suction regulators used with a hospital’s

more reliable central vacuum system. Therefore, battery-powered aspirators should not be installed on

hospital crash carts unless they are serving areas where the central vacuum system is inaccessible or

unreliable. For example, ECRI Institute recommends that at minimum, one crash cart in the hospital

(typically in the emergency room) be equipped with a portable emergency aspirator and be used to coverpublic areas of the hospital that are not served by the central vacuum system.

Purchase considerations

ECRI Institute recommendations

Included in the accompanying comparison chart are ECRI Institute’s recommendations for minimum

performance requirements for emergency aspirators. Purchasers must first determine the intended

applications of the aspirator; some units are designed only for oropharyngeal use, while others can also

be used for tracheal aspiration.

Emergency aspiration may require moderate to high vacuum and flow rates. Units should be able to

provide suction of at least 400 mm Hg at maximum settings to remove tenacious secretions but shouldalso allow lower vacuum levels to help prevent tissue damage. Also, the aspirator should be capable of

reaching a vacuum level of 300 mm Hg in 4 seconds or less. Vacuum gauges and vacuum-limiting

devices (e.g., regulators) are helpful in allowing application of appropriate and safe suction levels.

Vacuum gauges should be both accurate and easy to read. Collection canisters—whether disposable or

reusable—should hold at least 1 L (1,000 cc) of liquid and should prevent overflow of aspirated material,

which may clog the aspirator and should be considered infectious.

Since emergency aspirators are commonly used outside the hospital setting, they should be easy to use

and transport. Units should weigh less than 6 kg (including the carrying case and all accessories),

although models intended solely for crash-cart use can weigh more. Fully charged batteries should power

the unit at maximum vacuum for at least 30 minutes, and both audible and visual warnings should alert

the user when batteries are nearing depletion. Integral battery chargers are preferable to separate units toprevent loss of the charger. All controls and connections should be clearly labeled.

Other considerations

Case designs preclude some emergency aspirators from crash-cart use, especially if the case is an

integral part of the unit. Some units are relatively heavy and less convenient to carry, which is a

consideration if the aspirator is to be used by EMTs.

Vacuum regulators or gauges are optional on most units. If the unit is to be used for oropharyngeal

suctioning only, purchasing models without these options will reduce costs and simplify operation.

However, if a vacuum gauge is included, users should install it properly, in a manner that does not cause

falsely low readings that result in higher-than-intended vacuum levels. For proper measurement of

vacuum levels, the end of the tubing must be occluded. Users considering the use of relatively high

vacuum levels (120 mm Hg) for tracheal suctioning should keep this in mind; trauma can result from

excessive vacuum levels.

Most units with disposable canisters can accept at least some alternative manufacturers’ canisters.

These standard canisters may be more convenient to order, and they offer the user a choice of suppliers.

However, installed filters supplied with the canisters will differ; some may severely limit airflow rates.

The cost of disposables should be weighed against the cost, time, and infection risks associated with the

disinfection of reusables.

The aspirator should be easy and intuitive to turn on, adjust, and operate. A quick and simple method

of setting the unit to maximum vacuum for oropharyngeal suctioning is desirable. It should be

uncomplicated to empty or exchange canisters and continue to operate the pump without significant risk

of instrument or operator contamination. Disposing of the canister and its contents should be easy, with

minimal risk of spills or contamination.

One unit uses Physio-Control LIFEPAK defibrillator/monitor battery packs, which can be maintained

in the same charging systems as the defibrillator/monitor batteries. This may be convenient for users of

LIFEPAK defibrillator/monitors and chargers, although sufficient chargers and batteries must be

available for both devices.

Disconnecting and reconnecting the unit at the recharging station should be convenient; the connection

should be secure, even if performed in a hurry. An indicator should show whether the charger is

connected to a power source and to the battery. An indicator of when the battery is ready (fully or mostly

charged) is desirable, as is a means to continue operation (e.g., by exchanging batteries) in the event of a

low or failed battery during use.

As with any device to be used for resuscitation, portable suction units should undergo proper

acceptance testing by operators and servicing staff to ensure satisfactory performance. Units beingconsidered for use aboard transport helicopters may require more rigorous testing than those for

ordinary ground-based use. It has been reported (Dahlgren et al. 1997) that electromagnetic disturbances

in excess of a maximum stipulated level produced by an aspirator motor could affect the performance of

helicopter instrumentation, and vibrations from the helicopter could adversely affect the aspirator circuit

boards.

Cost containment

Because emergency aspirators entail ongoing operational costs, the initial acquisition cost does not

accurately reflect the total cost of ownership. Therefore, a purchase decision should be based on issues

such as life-cycle cost (LCC), discount rates and non-price-related benefits offered by the supplier, and

standardization with existing equipment in the department or hospital (i.e., purchasing all emergencyaspirators and/or collection containers from one supplier).

An LCC analysis can be used to compare high-cost alternatives and/or to determine the positive or

negative economic value of a single alternative. Because it examines the cash-flow impact of initial

acquisition costs and operating costs over a period of time, LCC analysis is most useful for comparing

alternatives with different cash flows and for revealing the total costs of equipment ownership. One LCC

technique—present value (PV) analysis—is especially useful because it accounts for inflation and for the

time value of money (i.e., money received today is worth more than money received at a later date).

Conducting a PV/LCC analysis often demonstrates that the cost of ownership includes more than just the

initial acquisition cost and that a small increase in initial acquisition cost may produce significant savings

in long-term operating costs. The PV is calculated using the annual cash outflow, the dollar discount

factor (the cost of capital), and the lifetime of the equipment (in years) in a mathematical equation.

The following represents a sample seven-year PV/LCC analysis for an emergency aspirator.

Present Value/Li fe-Cycle Cost An alysis

Assumptions

Operating costs are considered for years 1 through 7.

Dollar discount factor is 5%.

730 procedures are performed per year with single-use disposable collection containers, PVC

(polyvinyl chloride) tubing, and Yankauer tips.

Capital Costs

Aspirator with charger = $600

Total Capital Costs = $600

Operating Costs

Disposable collection containers = $3,000/year

Disposable PVC tubing = $2,500/year

Disposable Yankauer catheters = $2,000/year

Total Operating Costs = $7,500/year

PV = ($51,138)

Other costs not included in the above analysis that should be considered for budgetary planning

include those associated with the following:

Other disposables, accessories such as bacterial filters, and optional accessories Contributions to overhead

Inspection and repair costs

As illustrated by the above sample PV/LCC analysis, the initial acquisition cost is only a fraction of the

total cost of operation over seven years. Therefore, rather than making a purchase decision based solely

on the acquisition cost of an emergency aspirator, buyers should consider operating costs over the

lifetime of the equipment.

Prices for disposable tubing and catheters vary greatly, depending on a number of factors, including

type, size, material, manufacturer, and bulk-rate discounts. Many of these disposables can be used with a

number of manufacturers’ emergency aspirators. The type of aspirator purchased may not necessarily

dictate which disposables are to be purchased, and in many cases, disposables are independent factors

and the LCC will not be affected.

For further information on PV/LCC analysis, customized analyses, and purchase decision support,

readers should contact ECRI Institute’s SELECT™ Group.

Stage of development

Portable emergency aspirators are a mature and stable technology, and revolutionary changes or

improvements are not expected. Manufacturers will most likely continue to develop better and lighter-

weight, higher-capacity batteries and chargers.

Note: The data in the charts derive from suppliers’ specifications and have not been verified through

independent testing by ECRI Institute or any other agency. Because test methods vary, different products’

specifications are not always comparable. Moreover, products and specifications are subject to frequent changes.

ECRI Institute is not responsible for the quality or validity of the information presented or for any adverse

consequences of acting on such information.

When reading the charts, keep in mind that, unless otherwise noted, the list price does not reflect supplierdiscounts. And although we try to indicate which features and characteristics are standard and which are not,

some may be optional, at additional cost.

For those models whose prices were supplied to us in currencies other than U.S. dollars, we have also listed the

conversion to U.S. dollars to facilitate comparison among models. However, keep in mind that exchange rates change

often.

Policy Statement

The Healthcare Product Comparison System (HPCS) is published by ECRI Institute, a nonprofit organization.

HPCS provides comprehensive information to help healthcare professionals select and purchase diagnostic and

therapeutic capital equipment more effectively in support of improved patient care.The information in Product Comparisons comes from a number of sources: medical and biomedical

engineering literature, correspondence and discussion with manufacturers and distributors, specifications from

product literature, and ECRI Institute’s Problem Reporting System. While these data are reviewed by qualified

health professionals, they have not been tested by ECRI Institute’s clinical and engineering personnel and are

largely unconfirmed. The Healthcare Product Comparison System and ECRI Institute are not responsible for the

quality or validity of information derived from outside sources or for any adverse consequences of acting on such

information.

The appearance or listing of any item, or the use of a photograph thereof, in the Healthcare Product Comparison

System does not constitute the endorsement or approval of the product’s quality, performance, or value, or of

claims made for it by the manufacturer. The information and photographs published in Product Comparisons

appear at no charge to manufacturers.Many of the words or model descriptions appearing in the Healthcare Product Comparison System are

proprietary names (e.g., trademarks), even though no reference to this fact may be made. The appearance of any

name without designation as proprietary should not be regarded as a representation that is not the subject of

proprietary rights.

ECRI Institute respects and is impartial to all ethical medical device companies and practices. The Healthcare

Product Comparison System accepts no advertising and has no obligations to any commercial interests. ECRI

Institute and its employees accept no royalties, gifts, finder’s fees, or commissions from the medical device

industry, nor do they own stock in medical device companies. Employees engage in no private consulting work

for the medical device industry.

in healthcare to uncover the best approaches to improving patient care. As pioneers in this science for nearly 40

years, ECRI Institute marries experience and independence with the objectivity of evidence-based research.

More than 5,000 healthcare organizations worldwide rely on ECRI Institute’s expertise in patient safety

improvement, risk and quality management, healthcare processes, devices, procedures, and drug technology.
