3A Professional Aspirator Double Pump - High-Performance Medical Suction Unit with 1000ml Jar
- 22 L/min Dual-Pump Performance - dual-pump mechanism delivers 22 L/min suction flow rate, providing 37.5% greater suction capacity than the 16 L/min single-pump model; indicated for high-dependency clinical settings where rapid fluid clearance is required, including post-operative suctioning and high-volume respiratory secretion management.
- UK Clinical Specification - UK-exclusive model configured to meet UK MDR 2002 MHRA requirements for high-performance suction in regulated clinical environments; complete with the same accessory specification as the single-pump: collection jar, suction tubing, catheter, antibacterial filter, connector, flow regulator, disposable liner, and mains lead.
- Adjustable Vacuum Control - adjustable vacuum level allows suction pressure to be set per clinical protocol and individual patient tolerance; antibacterial filter and single-use disposable liner support NHS IPC infection control requirements for high-frequency suction use across repeated episodes in ward and high-dependency care settings.
- MHRA Class IIa Medical Device - regulated under UK MDR 2002; 3.2kg frame with integrated carry handle supports deployment across ward bays and clinical environments within the UK; CQC Regulation 12 equipment obligations met by replaceable filter design and disposable liner enabling compliant per-episode setup without specialist decontamination.

Regulatory Compliance
The 3A Professional Aspirator Double Pump is a Class IIa medical device regulated under UK MDR 2002 and MHRA requirements, with UK-only sale designating its configuration for UK clinical regulatory environments. NHS IPC infection control guidance requires that suction pathways are decontaminated or replaced between patient uses; the disposable liner and replaceable antibacterial filter meet this requirement. The adjustable vacuum control enables suction pressure to be set per clinical protocol. CQC Regulation 12 (safe care) equipment maintenance is supported by the manufacturer filter replacement schedule and the spare filter supplied with each unit. BS EN ISO 10079 is the applicable suction equipment technical standard.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does the higher 22 L/min flow rate provide clinical benefit over the 16 L/min single-pump model?
The 22 L/min dual-pump flow rate provides faster fluid clearance and maintained suction performance under high-volume clinical conditions, such as high-dependency respiratory secretion management or settings where sustained high-flow performance is required over repeated episodes. For standard bedside and homecare suctioning in residential care, the 16 L/min single-pump provides sufficient performance at lower weight. Clinical assessment of expected suction volume and frequency should determine which model is specified.
What does the UK-only designation mean for procurement?
The UK-only designation indicates this model is sold and supported within the UK clinical regulatory framework under UK MDR 2002 MHRA requirements. UK care homes and NHS providers can specify and procure this device for MHRA-compliant clinical use. Care providers outside the UK should use locally approved suction devices meeting their national regulatory standards. The single-pump model (NCL-AS1003A) does not carry the UK-only restriction and is available for broader distribution.
