Function

The ATMOS S 042 NPWT is a particularly convenient suction device for negative pressure wound
®
therapy. The vacuum unit is operated by an electromotive maintenance-free diaphragm pump.
During operation the pump creates a vacuum in the wound dressing, the hose system and the
secretion canister. This vacuum is used to suck secretions. The vacuum unit automatically cre-
ates, controls and monitors the set therapy values. The secretion is collected in the respectively
provided secretion canister. A special filter technology prevents penetration of liquids, bacteria
and odours into the device. Therapy settings can be made using the touch screen.
The vacuum unit is equipped with a rechargeable lithium-ionic battery. Safe recharging of the
battery is ensured by a microprocessor-controlled electronic charge system located in the vacu-
um unit.
The main performance feature is the regulation (in the normal case) and the limitation (in the 1st
fault) of the maximum possible negative pressure of the pump to approx. -500 mmHg.
