FAQ
Only 1.72 kg (excluding power supply), making it the lightest model. Even with accessories, it remains very portable. Compact dimensions: 17.5 × 17.8 × 18.0 cm.
800ml is disposable with internal filter cartridge — discard after use. 1200ml is reusable with external filter — requires cleaning/disinfection. Disposable is recommended for home use to reduce cleaning burden.
The VACUAIDE 7325P has an excellent accessory ecosystem — disposable containers, filter cartridges, connection tubing, patient tubing, carrying case all readily available.
First check the 800ml disposable container's built-in filter cartridge (or external filter for 1200ml reusable). Then check connection and patient tubing for kinks or cracks. Then check if jar is too full. This sequence usually identifies the cause.
