General-purpose suction systems are line-powered medical devices used to remove fluids, tissue, gas, or debris from body cavities or passageways. Clinically, they are essential in procedures like surgery, emergency care, and patient recovery to maintain airway clearance or prevent complications from retained materials.
These systems are typically regulated as medical devices, with requirements varying by jurisdiction. They are often supplied as modular assemblies, including pumps, tubing, filters, and collection containers, and may be classified based on their intended use and risk level.
