A portable assembly of devices, which includes a non-surgical invasive component, intended to manually aspirate unwanted materials (e.g., fluids, secretions) from the airway typically during patient transport or an emergency situation (e.g., placed on a crash cart). It includes a manually-powered (hand or foot-operated) suction pump, a collection container, and patient contact devices (e.g., handpiece/tip, mask), and typically also contains tubing and microbial/hydrophobic filters. The system is not intended for surgical use.
