REPR may be an Ebola play....they make and sell the REQ-Q-VAC....

From the CDC...

Ebola patients can quickly become sick, and that means they might need help breathing. When that happens, doctors put a tube down their throat in a process called intubation.
As that tube is passed down the patient’s throat, another health care worker uses a thin, straw-like tube attached to a kind of vacuum to suction away secretions such as saliva and sputum. Both the process of inserting the tube and performing suction can generate lots of droplets. Although the blood and feces of Ebola patients contain the most virus, saliva and sputum could also contain Ebola and pose a threat to health care workers.

According to the World Health Organization's list of "Interim list of WHO medical devices for Ebola care," a suction pump is needed for Ebola care.

"A device is primarily used to aspirate fluids, secretions, or other foreign materials from a patient's airway by means of
suction. Operated by line-powered, battery or manual. Must be able to generate a vacuum of at least 0.75 bar
(570mmHg). Minimum open tube flow rate at least 1 litre liquid per minute. With single or twin suction bottles, minimum
size 0.5 litres each. Bottle(s) to have an automatic cut off when full to prevent ingress of fluid to pump. Filter and overflow
valve incorporated to prevent cross-contamination. Air line to pump to incorporate bacterial filter"

On April 29, 2003, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issued additional guidelines for the control of SARS (Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome), which requires all suction systems to have filtration equivalent to a HEPA filter to prevent the spread of this disease. At the current time, we believe that the RES-Q-VAC® with Full Stop Protection® is the only portable device to comply with these CDC directives.
