The SAM 36 aspirator is a high flow, high vacuum unit for operating theatres. Like the SAM 15, it benefits from a wide bore top making it ideal for intra-uterine procedures (terminations). Its reputation for reliability and ease of operation has established it among the most widely used units in the medical world today.
At the heart of the unit is our MG50 oil free diaphragm vacuum pump that requires minimal maintenance and helps prevent cross contamination. The MG50 also benefits from an enclosed crankcase for quiet operation, IP44 totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) permanent capacitor motor with long life sealed bearings and thermal protection.
As standard, the SAM 36 is fitted with 2 of MGE's autoclaveable SAM 2 collection jars fitted with a float valve system, providing automatic shut-off to avoid over-flow. Other safety features include an internal hydrophobic filter to minimise the risk of contamination as well as providing a further level of protection to the pump.
The SAM 36 can be fitted with a choice of disposable collection systems including Serres, Abbott, VacSax and Pennine. Other disposable collection systems can also be offered on request.
The unit has a disposable bacterial filter mounted externally on top to provide a barrier for the patient and this can also be upgraded to our external hydrophobic filter if further protection is required.
MGE are happy to work with Medical Institutions with specialist requirements for suction equipment. These requirements can be as simple as producing tailor made stands for equipment right up to the development of specific medical units.
