Frequently asked questions
Do these canisters have secure locking lids?
Yes, the Medi-Vac Guardian Suction Canisters feature locking lids designed to promote secure disposal of collected wastes and enhance worker safety.
This important safety feature is included on the following larger capacity units:
- 1200cc
- 2000cc
- 3000cc
The locking mechanism ensures the integrity of the collected material is maintained during handling and disposal.
Are orthopedic and accessory ports included?
Yes, the Cardinal Health Medi-Vac Guardian Suction Canisters are designed for maximum procedural versatility and include specialized ports:
- An Accessory Port
- An Orthopedic Port
This dual-port configuration ensures the disposable system can accommodate a wide range of clinical suction procedures and different tubing setups.
Do the 90° adapters prevent kinking?
Yes, the Cardinal Health Medi-Vac Guardian Suction Canisters include 90° adapters to ensure optimal fluid management.
These adapters allow the tubing to connect securely at a right angle, which actively prevents kinking. By maintaining this unimpeded flow, the system ensures consistent and reliable aspiration throughout clinical procedures.
Is there an automatic overflow shutoff valve?
Yes, the Cardinal Health Medi-Vac Guardian Canisters are designed with enhanced safety features, including an automatic overflow shutoff valve integrated directly inside the lid. This essential component:
- Automatically halts suction when the canister reaches capacity.
- Prevents backflow, safeguarding external equipment (regulators and wall vacuum outlets) from cross-contamination.
For added worker safety and secure waste handling, note that the larger capacity units (1200cc, 2000cc, and 3000cc) also come equipped with a locking lid feature.
Where is the overflow shutoff valve located?
The automatic overflow shutoff valve is located inside the lid of the canister. This strategic placement helps to effectively prevent cross-contamination.

The Cardinal Health Medi-Vac Guardian Suction Canisters are disposable hard systems available in the following capacities to meet various clinical needs:
- 800cc (Rigid)
- 1200cc
- 2000cc
- 3000cc
For enhanced safety, note that the 1200cc, 2000cc, and 3000cc sizes are equipped with a crucial feature: a locking lid mechanism. This design ensures secure disposal of collected medical waste.
Which sizes have the safety locking lid?
The locking lid feature is available on the larger sizes: 1200cc, 2000cc, and 3000cc. This design encourages proper disposal of collected wastes and enhances worker safety.
What safety features prevent contamination?
The Cardinal Health Medi-Vac Guardian Suction Canisters incorporate several robust safety and operational features to prevent contamination and maintain flow:
