INTENDED USE

ASPIRA Go is an aspirator designed for medical and surgical use in healthcare centres such as hospitals, for home care
and for pharyngeal suction for permanent tracheotomy. The device generates a negative pressure (suction) which
allows fluids to be extracted through a single use tube connected to a collection canister which retains the fluids until
they can be properly disposed of. Use of the device must be prescribed by a doctor.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

ASPIRA Go (1) is equipped with a vacuum flow adjustment knob (4), vacuum gauge (3) and 1000 ml canister (9) with
inflow safety device (10) to prevent fluids from entering the suction pump. This device interrupts the vacuum flow
via a float-controlled valve found in the canister lid. It does not require lubrication, is manageable, simple to use,
reliable, resistant and quiet. This model comes with a rechargeable battery. ASPIRA Go is equipped with the following
