Atmos C 051 Thorax Operating Instructions Manual page 23

If the leakage test is activated, it will start
automatically following the device start-up.
The hose attachment towards the drainage
catheter should already be sealed with a sterile
plug when starting up the device. Alternatively
the thorax catheter can be clamped near to the
patient.
Do not clamp the ATMOS hose system.
If the leakage test is error-free, the message
„Leakage test OK" appears. Now you can remove
the plug from the hose. By pressing the
button you will reach the main menu.
If the leakage test is faulty, the message „Leakage
test failed" appears. Check the hose connections
and whether the secretion canister is correctly
clicked into place. You now have the possibility to
a) repeat the test
b) abort the test by pressing the respective
buttons on the screen.
ATTENTION: If the leakage test is operated
accordingly the leakage must not be ignored.
If the device dropped down it must not be
operated.
Send in the device for repair. Treatment with
defective equipment can cause fatal injuries to
the patient.
The intention of "abort the leakage test "is to skip
the test if a standard test under given condition is
not possible.
