What Are the Suction Applications of the DeVilbiss VacuAide 7325 Machine?
The large vacuum range – between 50 and 550mmHg – makes the 7325 useful for a variety of suction applications. It is most often used in primary and secondary care contexts for these three treatsments:

How Often Should the Bacterial Filter Be Changed?
Since the filter is designed to keep bacteria from contaminating or damaging your device it is vital that you change it regularly. It should be changed when any of the following conditions occur:
- In between patients/when disposing of a canister
- When overflow or leakage occurs
- Every two months, even if only one patient uses it
How Often Should the Collection Bottle and Tubing Be Replaced?
Both the collection bottle and tubing are designed for single patient use. As such, they should be replaced after each patient.
