Intended Use Atmos ® S 201 Thorax Hose System - Atmos S 201 Thorax Operating Instructions Manual

Specification of the main function: Generation of a vacuum from the thoracic drainage
system through the secretion canister and hose system to the patient-sided tube end. In this
way secretion and air can be sucked through the hose system or transported into the secretion
canister. A bacterial filter in the secretion canister protects the basic device from possible
contamination with bacteria and the suction of secretion.
The vacuum which is at the patient-side is measured with the measuring- and rinsing hose.
Furthermore after a defined period a valve opens and flushes secretion, coagulum and other
blockages from the hose to the secretion canister.
User profile: Doctor, medical staff
Patient groups: Patients of all ages with and without restrictions
Application organ: Thorax
Application time: Short-term use on the patient (< 30 days).
