Ear care practitioners require reliable and innovative equipment to provide top-notch care. The Hearing Lab Store offers state-of-the-art portable suction units, including the CA-MI 118 and the DeVilbiss VacuAide 7325P, designed for the modern mobile ear care practitioner.

In this article, we will compare and contrast these two cutting-edge devices, showcasing their features and benefits, but first, let's talk about a couple of units that we didn't include. The CA-MI AS100 is a fantastic all-round budget unit, but the rechargeable aspect of the New CA-MI Askir 118 Basic makes it the logical choice for on-the-go.

The DeVilbiss VacuAide 7314P-U QSU is simply an older, heavier version of the newer 7325P, and the ultra-portable DeVilbiss 7310 is practically the same weight as the newer and far quieter 7325P.

Therefore, in our opinion, the battle is between the following two units for the domiciliary crown so let's get it on!

The CA-MI 118 is a lightweight, battery-operated mucus suction pump that delivers powerful performance for ear care practitioners. With its sleek design, portability, and impressive features, we have no doubt the CA-MI 118 will become a staple in the industry.

• Battery-powered: The lithium-ion battery provides up to 90 minutes of continuous use, making it perfect for home visits or on-site consultations.
• Portable and compact: Weighing only 2.3 kg, the CA-MI 118 is easy to transport, and a carrying bag can be purchased separately.
• Efficient Mucus Suction Pump: With a maximum vacuum of 36 L/min, this device efficiently handles nasal aspiration, oral, aural and tracheal suctioning.

The DeVilbiss VacuAide 7325P is a versatile and powerful portable suction unit designed for both clinical and homecare settings. Equipped with a lightweight Li-ion battery, quick charging time, and a sleek carry case, the 7325P provides unparalleled performance and portability.

• Internal Li-ion Battery: The 7325P features a fast charge time of 3 hours, a runtime of 45 minutes, and a 1-year warranty on the battery.
• Lightweight Design: Weighing only 1.72 kg, including the battery, the VacuAide 7325P is extremely easy to transport.
• Suction Tube Holder: Integrated into the unit for convenience and hygiene.
• LED Control Lights: Displayed on the top of the device for quickly checking the unit's charge status.
• Carry Case Included: Designed for discreet use, the padded shoulder bag includes internal compartments for accessories and a viewing panel to check secretion levels.

While both the CA-MI 118 and DeVilbiss VacuAide 7325P are powerful and portable suction units, there are some key differences to consider:

• Battery Life: The CA-MI 118 boasts a longer battery life with up to 90 minutes of continuous use, while the VacuAide 7325P offers 45 minutes of runtime. This is probably how DeVilbiss trimmed down so much weight.
• Weight: The DeVilbiss VacuAide 7325P is lighter at 1.72 kg, making it slightly easier to transport than the CA-MI 118, which weighs 2.3 kg.
• Carry Case: The VacuAide 7325P comes with a discreet, padded shoulder bag, while the CA-MI 118 carrying bag is purchased separately. It isn't anywhere near as ergonomic as the DeVilbiss bag.
• Airflow Rate: Airflow rate is a crucial factor in determining the effectiveness of a suction unit. The CA-MI 118 offers an impressive maximum vacuum of 36 L/min, while the DeVilbiss VacuAide 7325P provides a slightly lower suction power, up to 27 L/min free flow. This difference in airflow rates means that both devices can efficiently handle nasal aspiration, oral, aural and tracheal suctioning, with the CA-MI 118 offering a slightly stronger suction capacity.

Ultimately, the choice between the CA-MI 118 and DeVilbiss VacuAide 7325P will depend on your specific needs and requirements as an ear care practitioner.

When it comes to choosing the right suction unit for your practice, both the CA-MI 118 and DeVilbiss VacuAide 7325P offer remarkable performance and portability. Each device caters to the specific needs of ear care practitioners, and selecting the best fit for your requirements will ensure optimal results for your patients.
