Intended Use Atmos S 201 Thorax Hose System - Atmos S 201 Thorax Operating Instructions Manual

system through the secretion canister and hose system to the patient-sided hose end. In this
way secretion and air can be sucked through the hose system or transported into the secretion
canister. A bacterial filter in the secretion canister protects the basic device from possible
contamination with bacteria and the suction of secretion.
The vacuum which is at the patient-side is measured with the measuring- and rinsing hose.
Furthermore after a defined period a valve opens and flushes secretion, coagulum and other
blockages from the hose to the secretion canister.

1.2.3 Intended use ATMOS S 201 Thorax hose system

Name: Hose system for the ATMOS S / E 201 Thorax and ATMOS C 051 Thorax
Main functions:
Transport of generated vacuum from the basic device to patient-sided hose end.
Suction of secretion and air through the secretion hose into the secretion canister.
Transport of the patient-sided vacuum to the vacuum sensor for detecting the current vacuum,
which is at the patient side.
Medical indications / application:
Creating the (natural) vacuum in the pleural cavity after a pneumothorax or a pleural effusion by
draining off air and secretion.
Drainage of secretion and air after a surgical opening of the thorax.
Specification of the main function: Generation of a vacuum from the thoracic drainage
system through the secretion canister and hose system to the patient-sided hose end. In this
way, secretion and air can be suctioned by means of the hose system or transported into the
secretion canister. The vacuum which is at the patient-side is measured with the measuring- and
rinsing hose. Furthermore after a defined period a valve opens and flushes secretion, coagulum
and other blockages from the hose to the secretion canister.
