Description
TVAC is a compact, single-use, manual suction device intended for clearing mucus, blood, vomitus, and other foreign substances from the upper airway. As TVAC is manually operated it is not dependent on batteries or any other external power source. The TVAC is made of a rigid plastic suction tube, a suction bulb, and a collection bag for aspirated liquids. Backflow of aspired contents is prevented by one-way valves. Its rugged construction allows TVAC to be stored for extended periods and instantly made ready for use. The product does NOT contain Natural Rubber Latex.
Caution
TVAC should only be used by personnel who have received proper training on
procedures for suctioning an oral airway. Improper use of TVAC could cause
injury. Use TVAC as directed by your EMS authority or by a physician. TVAC is
NOT designed to be used on children under the age of eight

- Grasp the bulb with one hand and the suction tube with the other. IMPORTANT: Pull out the suction tube until it is fully extended.
- Use finger sweeps to remove foreign matter from the patient’s airway.
- Grasp the suction bulb and squeeze it firmly.
- Keep the bulb in the fully squeezed position as you insert the suction tube into the back of the patient’s throat, being careful not to insert the tube farther than you can see.
