PUMP, SUCTION, MECHANICAL (Twin Pump)
The twinpump is no longer produced by Ambu and replaced by the Fazzini pump F-170.
Definition
A portable assembly of devices primarily intended to be used by emergency medical services (EMS) to aspirate fluids, secretions, or other foreign materials by means of suction.
It typically consists of a manually-powered (hand or foot-operated) mechanism to drive the suction pump, tubing and a collection container. The pump creates a vacuum in the suction tubing, which is used for the removal of materials into the collection container.
Specifications
The TWIN PUMP is composed of 1 suction pump and 1 suction tube, to which MSF added:
- 1 x 10 m of silicone tube (SCTDTUBE081)
- 2 collection bottles (EHOEPUMA110)
- 10 biconical connectors (SCTDCONN7S)

Instructions for use
This item is supplied with very complete instructions for use.
Provide some spare collection bottles.
Yankauer cannulas have to be ordered separately (see related articles below).
Maintenance
The collection bottle must be pre-disinfected, cleaned and sterilized by steam autoclave after each use
The whole device can be cleaned and sterilized by steam autoclave.
(Cf Introduction: Disinfection and sterilization in the field)
After dismantling and cleaning, the pump should be tested to make sure that it works correctly.
MSF requirements
Emergency mechanical aspirator with a high aspiration capacity, which can be operated either by hand or by foot.
Device allowing to perform aspirations in surgery/ anaesthesia when there is no reliable source of electricity.
Adding the collection bottle allows to increase the collection capacity of the pump.
