faqs

1. How many types of suctioning are there?

There are four main types of suctioning: nasal (in the nose), oral (mouth), nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal (throat), and deep suctioning. Each type is used for different purposes and to remove fluids or secretions from specific areas of the respiratory system or airway.

2. What is the lifespan of a suction machine?

The lifespan of a suction machine can vary depending on several factors, including the brand, quality, frequency of use, maintenance, and handling. Generally, a well-maintained suction machine can last around 5 to 10 years. 

However, abuse, lack of maintenance, and other factors may shorten or extend its lifespan. Budgeting for equipment needs every ten years can be a reasonable estimate, but regular assessments of the machine’s condition are essential for optimal performance and safety.

3. What is a suction jar?

A suction jar, also referred to as a suction bottle or suction canister, is a medical device used to clear a patient’s airway. It removes substances such as blood, saliva, vomit, or other secretions from the airway, allowing the patient to breathe more effectively. The suction jar is an essential suction apparatus component, helping maintain airway clearance and support respiratory function during medical procedures or emergencies.

4. Can you reuse suction?

No, reusing suction devices, especially airway suction units, is unsafe. Even if the device doesn’t contact bodily fluids directly, it can harbour dangerous pathogens. It is essential to sanitize the suction unit after each use, regardless of whom it was used on or its apparent cleanliness. This practice ensures the prevention of potential infections and maintains a safe environment for patients and healthcare providers.
