1.4 Function

The ATMOS
temporary application on adults, children and babies. The device is operated with an
electronically controlled, maintenance-free diaphragm pump.
The pump can be optionally operated by rechargeable battery or via an external DC
voltage source (12 V).
During operation the pump generates a vacuum within the hose system and collection
canister, thus sucking off secretion, blood and body fluids as well as liquid, viscous and
solid pieces of food. The fluid is gathered in the collection canister.
The predefined vacuum values enables a quick and precise adjustment of the vacuum
in different situations. It can be selected between four different vacuum values (-0.1
bar; -0.2 bar; -0.5 bar and -0.8 bar). The control panel is illuminated, so that you can
read the operating status even after dark.
An overtemperature stop prevents overheating of the batteries.
DDS secretion canister:
The DDS secretion canister is affixed laterally to the device and is plugged via Direct
Docking onto the suction connection at the support for the DDS canister system.
Therefore there is no intermediate hose. Now the user can/must only connect the
suction hose. A hydrophobic bacterial filter located in the lid of the canister prevents
bacteria and liquids from entering the pump.
A mechanical oversuction stop (float ball) is integrated in the canister lid. This prevents
an accidental absorption of secretion into the pump head. The float ball rises to the top
of the secretion until it blocks the outlet.
Disposable suction canister:
The disposable secretion canister is comprised of an outer canister, disposable suction
bag, vacuum hose and the disposable suction hose.
The disposable suction canister is affixed laterally to the device. The vacuum hose
of the canister is connected to the suction connection of the device. The secretion is
transported to the disposable suction bag via the suction hose. The disposable suction
bag is a single use product. As soon as the disposable suction bag is full it is removed
from the outer canister and disposed of. The disposable suction bag and the disposable
suction hose must not be reused.
A bacterial filter is integrated in the disposable suction bag. This prevents secretion,
liquid and bacteria from seeping into the device.
