Universal Medical Device Nomenclature System™
(UMDNS™):
• Aspirators, Surgical [10-217]
Purpose
Most surgical procedures require suctioning to re-
move blood and irrigating fluids that accumulate in the
operative field and obstruct the surgeon’s view. Hospi-
tals generally use a central high-flow-rate vacuum
pump that provides vacuum through pipelines to
standard wall inlets throughout the hospital. How-
ever, portable or mobile vacuum systems can be used
if there is no central vacuum system or if suctioning is
required in areas that do not have vacuum inlets.
Principles of operation
The basic surgical aspirator consists of a line-pow-
ered vacuum pump, a vacuum regulator and gauge, a Mobile surgical aspirator

suctioning, to assess the performance of the vacuum

pump, and to detect leaks or blockages. Units are
either portable or mounted on a stand or cart for
mobility.
Vacuum pumps
A single- or double-vacuum pump creates suction
within the system. Double-pump systems operate in
synchrony, with both pumps contributing to the suc-
tioning capacity. The three types of pumps used in
surgical aspirators are rotary vane, diaphragm, and
cylinder piston.
In a rotary-vane pump, a rotor is mounted off-center
in relation to the inside diameter of the pump housing Figure 1. Rotary-vane pump
(see Fig. 1). As the rotor turns, sliding vanes that fit
into notches in the rotor follow the contour of the
housing. Air that is trapped between a set of vanes is
compressed and expelled through the pressure outlet.
As rotation continues, the space between the vanes
expands, and the pressure of the air trapped between
the vanes drops, creating suction. Because of the fric-
tion between the vanes and the chamber wall and the
need to achieve airtight contact, several rotary-vane
models use graphite vanes. Some units require oil for
lubrication and sealing and have reservoirs that need
refilling after a specified number of hours of operation.
In a diaphragm pump, a mechanical drive flexes a

rubber diaphragm back and forth in a chamber, alter-
nately increasing and decreasing the chamber volume
(see Fig. 2). As the chamber volume decreases, air is Figure 2. Diaphragm pump
compressed and directed out through the one-way ex-
haust valve; as it increases, a vacuum draws air into
the one-way intake valve. Diaphragm pumps do not liners for reusable canisters. To save time and prevent

liters per minute. (Free airflow has been defined as the
maximum flow of air into the aspirator with no restric-
tion at the intake.) The aspirator should have safety
features such as overflow protection. Emptying and
exchanging reusable canisters should be uncompli-
cated and without significant risk of instrument or
operator contamination. Discarding disposable canis-
ters and their contents should be easy, with minimal
risk of spills or contamination.
The cost of disposables should be weighed against

the cost, time, and infection risks associated with the
disposal of infectious waste and disinfection of reus-
ables. Most units with disposable containers can accept
alternate manufacturers’ containers. These standard
containers may be more convenient to order and offer
