 The ATMOS S 201 Thorax is designed in accordance with
IEC 60601-1/EN 60601-1. It is a device which meets the
VDE protection class II. It may be connected to a properly
installed wall power point socket.
 Before commissioning the device, drainage container,
mains cables, accessories, connecting leads and hoses
should be checked for damage.
Damaged leads and hoses must be replaced immediately.
The function of the device should be checked prior to
use.
 The ATMOS S 201 Thorax may only be used by trained
specialist staff.
 The ATMOS S 201 Thorax is not designed for operation
within areas where there is a risk of explosion (M and
G) and in oxygen rich environments. Areas that are at risk
from explosions can arise due to the use of combustible
anaesthetics, skin cleaning and skin disinfecting materi-
als.
 No liquid may enter the device. If liquid has entered the
device it must be checked by the customer service before
it is used again.
After a long journey at temperatures under the freezing

point the device must be allowed to stand for up to six hours
at room temperature before it is used for the first time. If
the device is not acclimatised, it must not be operated,
since the piston of the unit might be damaged if it runs in
this condition.
 Only trained staff may remove the container from the
device during therapy.
Prior to use the perfect function of optical and acoustic

alarm must be checked by the user.
 Prior to use the nurse call function (menu item) must be
tested.
 For hygienic reason we recommend to exchanged the
hose always together with the container.
 Uncoupling of the device may only be performed if the
maximum target value of 15 mbar is reached.
 Disinfectant should not enter the device. If disinfectant
has penetrated the device, then it must be dried tho-
roughly and subsequently an efficiency control must be
conducted. It must be both checked, whether the target
vacuum is reached when the system is closed and
whether a flow >10 l/min is reached after a while when
the system is open. If not, the device must undergo a
service check prior to being used again.
