1.2.2 Intended use of the secretion canister for ATMOS
Name: Sterile secretion canister for the exclusive connection to the ATMOS
Main functions:
Forwarding of the created vacuum into the drainage hose and fi nally into the patient side drain.
Collection of the exhausted secretion.
Med. indications/ application: Secretion canister for the connection to a digital device for mobile thoracic drainage.
Specifi cation of the main function:
The vacuum generated by the pump evacuates air and secretion out of the drain. The secretion is collected in the secretion canister
whose fi lling quantity is 2 l. A bacterial fi lter prevents the potential contamination of the room and the device by bacteria. Additionally
it prevents the accidental intrusion of secretion into the pump head. A sterile tubing system provides the vacuum for the patient side
drain. A direct connection to the patient doesn't exist. With the support of the test measuring hose inside of the tubing system, which
is also provided with a fi lter, the actual vacuum on the drain will be measured. Furthermore the measuring hose is also responsible
for the fl ushing of the secretion hose with atmospheric air.
