TRUVAC COOL, a portable suction unit designed for homecare patients used for removal of excess secretions from mouth and throat (oropharynx), from nose and throat (nasopharynx), and from the windpipe (trachea). It generally consists of a suction pump, tubing, Canister, a vacuum gauge, a vacuum control knob and a hydrophobic filter.
Clearing a patient’s airway at home doesn’t come with a hospital suction wall outlet down the hall. Whether it’s a tracheostomy, a swallowing disorder, or heavy secretions from illness, caregivers need a device that works reliably outside a clinical setting. The TruVac Cool portable suction machine brings adjustable vacuum pressure, from 50 to 550 mmHg, into a compact unit built for home use rather than hospital infrastructure.
The TruVac Cool is a portable suction machine that removes excess secretions from the mouth and throat, nose and throat, and trachea. It’s built for home care use, giving caregivers a self-contained alternative to hospital wall suction.
We built the TruVac Cool around the reality of home care: no wall outlet, no clinical staff on standby, just a caregiver and a patient who needs their airway cleared quickly and safely. The unit weighs 3 kg and measures 300 x 160 x 220 mm, small enough to keep within reach at home.
How Does the TruVac Cool Adjust Vacuum Pressure?
The TruVac Cool runs an adjustable vacuum range of 50 to 550 mmHg, covering the range clinical guidelines recommend across patient types, from neonates to adults.
Adjustable Vacuum Range
Clinical guidelines generally recommend lower suction pressures for neonates, around 60 to 80 mmHg, and higher pressures for adults, around 100 to 150 mmHg, with excess pressure linked to airway trauma. The TruVac Cool’s adjustable range lets caregivers match pressure to the patient instead of using one fixed setting.
One-Touch Operation and Airflow
A one-touch control starts suction without multiple steps, and the air-cooled compressor delivers 27 liters per minute of airflow for consistent secretion removal.
Who Is the TruVac Cool Suction Machine For?
The TruVac Cool suits home care patients and caregivers managing tracheostomies, swallowing difficulties, or heavy oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal secretions. It fits households and home health visits where hospital-grade wall suction isn’t available.

Key Features of the TruVac Cool Suction Machine
We built the TruVac Cool to be as simple to use as it is capable.

What is a portable suction machine used for?
A portable suction machine removes excess secretions from the mouth, throat, nose, and trachea, without needing a hospital’s wall suction outlet. The TruVac Cool is built for home care use, giving caregivers a self-contained way to manage tracheostomies, swallowing difficulties, and heavy secretions.
What vacuum pressure should I use for suctioning?
Clinical guidelines generally recommend lower suction pressure for neonates (around 60-80 mmHg) and higher pressure for adults (100-150 mmHg), since excess pressure can cause airway trauma. The TruVac Cool’s adjustable 50-550 mmHg range lets caregivers match pressure to the patient’s needs.
Does the TruVac Cool use disposable canisters?
Yes, the TruVac Cool works with either disposable or reusable 1000 ml canisters, so caregivers can choose based on convenience or cost. A hydrophobic filter protects the pump from fluid during use.
How portable is the TruVac Cool suction machine?
The TruVac Cool weighs 3 kg and measures 300 x 160 x 220 mm, small enough to move between rooms or bring along for home health visits. It runs on standard AC power (100-240V) rather than requiring a hospital suction line.
