What Accessories Are Needed To Make the Vac Pro Function?

To work the Vac Pro Portable Suction Machine, it is important to have all the necessary attachments to hand. The unit will not function as it should without these attachments. These include:

  • Filter: placed between the pump and the secretion canister, this accessory prevents the unit from being damaged or contaminated in the case of operating errors.
  • Tubing: this is to channel the negative pressure which creates the vacuum necessary for this unit to work.
  • Single-Use Canister: with either an 800ml or 1800ml capacity, this will safely gather and contain bodily secretions removed from the patient.

Optional Accessories

Some accessories for the Vac Pro are optional. The suction unit will work without these attachments, but user experience can be enhanced with them.

  • Wired remote control

How Does the Portable Suction Unit Work?

The Portable Suction Unit functions to remove foreign substances/secretions such as blood and mucus from the throat and lungs when a patient is unable to do it themselves. The unit generates negative pressure which creates a vacuum effect. When this negative pressure is channelled through a tube with one end connected to the unit and the other in the user’s mouth, the vacuum helps pull things like blood, mucus, and vomit out from the airways. These secretions are the collected in a canister (sold separately), which slots nicely into the integrated canister holder.

Who Is the Wellell Vac Pro For?

How Does the Vac Pro Differ From Others In the Series?

The Vac Series portable suction units include the Vac Pro, Vac Plus, and Vac Maxi. Each of these models serves the same basic function, but comes with its own advantages.

  • Vac Pro: this model is the lightest of these Vac suction units, making it the easiest to carry around. Weighing at 2.8kg, this lightweight Pro Model is 0.5kg lighter than the Plus and 1.6kg lighter than the Maxi.
  • Vac Plus: this model can be used with either AC power or DC power. The unit comes with a car adaptor and a rechargeable battery, which allows the user to use this machine without a power outlet, or by using the outlet available in most cars.
  • Vac Maxi: this model is the most powerful of these Vac Series units, and is ideal for high-vacuum, high-flow usage. The maximum flow rate of the Maxi is 46LPM, which is almost double that of the Pro and the Plus.
