Secretion canister for the exclusive connection to the ATMOS C 051 Thorax.
®
Main functions:
Forwarding of the created vacuum into the drainage hose and finally 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.
Specification 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 filling quantity is 800ml. A bacterial filter 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 does not exist. With the support of the test measuring hose inside of the tubing system, which is also
provided with a filter, the actual vacuum on the drain will be measured. Furthermore the measuring hose is also
responsible for the flushing of the secretion hose with atmospheric air.
