SAM 12 by MGE: Versatile and High-Performance Medical Suction Unit
The SAM 12, developed by MG Electric, is a medical suction unit designed to meet the varied needs of modern healthcare facilities. This device combines power, reliability and adaptability, making it a preferred choice for healthcare professionals in hospitals, dental clinics, emergency services and intensive care units.
At the heart of the SAM 12 is a latest-generation oil-free diaphragm pump, which offers a flow rate of 30 litres per minute and a vacuum capacity of up to 0.85 bar (650 mmHg). This technology ensures quiet operation (50 dB) and significantly reduces maintenance requirements, while minimising the risk of cross-contamination. The motor is thermally protected and designed for a long service life, with sealed bearings and a fan cooling system.
The unit is compatible with a 2-litre SAM 2 collection bottle, which is autoclavable and equipped with a float valve system that ensures automatic shut-off in case of overfilling. For added flexibility, the SAM 12 can be configured with disposable collection systems such as Serres, Abbott, VacSax and Pennine. Other options can be integrated on request, allowing customisation to the specific needs of each establishment.
Safety is at the heart of the SAM 12 design. It incorporates an internal hydrophobic filter that protects the pump from liquids and contaminants. A disposable bacterial filter is mounted externally to provide an additional barrier between the patient and the unit. This filter can be replaced with an external hydrophobic model for enhanced protection.
The SAM 12 complies with European medical standards, including Directive 93/42/EEC and standards BS EN ISO 10079-1, BS EN 60601-1 and BS EN 60601-1-2. It is available in static or mobile versions, with accessories for easy integration into different clinical environments.
The SAM 12 is a robust, quiet and versatile medical suction solution designed to deliver optimal performance while ensuring the safety of patients and medical staff.
