SM-120 Description

A suction machine (aspirator) is a medical device that uses negative pressure to remove unwanted fluids from human or animal body during an operation or surgery. A suction machine (aspirator) was designed targeting hospitals, ambulances and homes. Currently many hospitals and ambulances are failing to provide a proper medical treatment due to a lack of technology and resources. Portable suction machines generate negative pressure, which is channeled through a special type of plastic connecting tube called a single-use catheter. The negative pressure creates a vacuum effect that pulls any blood, mucus, or similar secretions out of the throat. The secretions are then automatically dispensed into a collection jar.

Motivation

During the design a ventilator we realized that the ventilator alone will not save the patient, if the person is finding it difficult to breathe. What cause someone not breathe on their own it’s because of the blockage or clogging of blood or mucus and the person is failing to discharge. Then in order to help a patient who is unconscious there is a need to remove those secretions and suction device come into picture to work hand in hand with a medical ventilator

Working principle

Suction pump generate negative pressure, which is channeled through a special type of plastic connecting tube called a single-use catheter. The negative pressure creates a vacuum effect that pulls any blood, mucus, or similar secretions out of the throat. The secretions are then automatically dispensed into a collection jar.
