Description
The AG Hydrophobic Suction Canister is an 800cc disposable collection canister with a red lid and a hydrophobic filter shut-off that blocks fluid before it can reach the pump. Preventive maintenance on suction aspirator equipment is mostly a calendar and a shelf of small parts like this one. Fitted correctly and changed on time, it is one less reason for the suction aspirator unit to miss a night.
- 800 cc Capacity – The 800 cc (800 mL) canister gives the suction aspirator a full service interval of collection room.
- Protective Lid – The shut-off lid stops collected fluid at the canister, before it can reach the filter or the pump.
- AG Filtration Pedigree – Made by the same specialists behind AG's CPAP and oxygen filter lines.
- Disposable Format – Sold individually for the suction aspirator, replaced rather than reprocessed between patients.
Where Suction Hygiene Actually Happens
This canister is an 800cc disposable collection canister with a red lid and a hydrophobic filter shut-off that blocks fluid before it can reach the pump. Collection is the first stage of the suction path, and the canister's job is to hold what the machine draws while its lid keeps that fluid out of everything downstream. On the suction aspirator, the lid's shut-off stops the fill at a safe level, which is what protects the filter and the pump behind it. It is disposable by design, replaced between patients rather than reprocessed, which is the infection-control standard for suction collection. It is offered in each and case forms for the suction aspirator, so stocking matches how the aspirator is actually serviced.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the bacteria filter protect?
It stands between the collection canister and the pump of the suction aspirator at its canister's hydrophobic filter connection, blocking bacteria, viruses and fluid carryover. That barrier is what keeps the suction aspirator pump behind the canister's hydrophobic filter connection clean and the suction strong.
How is this filter rated?
The rating AG publishes for this canister's hydrophobic filter part is over 99.999% bacterial and viral efficiency, per its own catalog for the suction aspirator line. It is a rated barrier at the canister's hydrophobic filter connection in the suction aspirator path, not a nominal screen.
How do I know which connection I need?
Match the connection named in the title, the canister's hydrophobic filter connection on this suction aspirator listing, to your aspirator's port, and match the barb sizes to your tubing. The kit listings name their contents, so a full service for the suction aspirator and its canister's hydrophobic filter path can be matched at once.
Are the canisters reusable?
Canisters on the suction aspirator are not reprocessed. They are replaced, and the filter at the canister's hydrophobic filter connection is replaced with them. The lid's shut-off is what keeps fluid out of the suction aspirator pump as the canister fills.
Is this an AG part or the machine maker's part?
It is an AG Industries part, made by a filtration specialist for machines like the suction aspirator, at its canister's hydrophobic filter connection. AG patterns its suction line for the major aspirator brands named in each listing, this one for the suction aspirator at its canister's hydrophobic filter connection.
