1.3 Function

The ATMOS S 201 Thorax is an exceptionally handy, mobile, digital thoracic drainage suction
®
device. The device is operated via an electrical, maintenance-free membrane pump. During
operation the pump creates a vacuum within the suction hose and the secretion canister by
means of which secretion and air can be sucked off by the hose system. The pump is controlled
digitally and therefore ensures that the chosen required vacuum value is stable. The air flow,
which is measured in real-time, is displayed in numbers. At one key press flow data from up to
12 days is shown in graphic.
The secretion is collected in the secretion canister. Its capacity is 2 l. With the aid of the
measuring and rinsing hose in the hose system the vacuum at the end of the hose system is
measured. Via the touch screen display the required vacuum can be set manually. The suction
power is regulated automatically.
The hose system is rinsed with air at regular intervals to prevent the collection of debris in the
secretion channel. This measure also prevents secretion from intruding into the measuring and
rinsing hose or that a syphon effect is created.
The device is equipped with a rechargeable battery. A charging unit which is located within the
suction device guarantees for the secure charging of the battery. Therefore it is impossible to
overcharge the battery.
A bacterial filter located in the secretion canister prevents the intrusion of bacteria and secretion
into the aggregation space. As an accessory a universal connection can be ordered separately.
Essential requirements:
• Create and maintain a regulated vacuum between -5 and -100 mbar.
