2 Notes for your safety The safety of the ATMOS S 351 NATAL complies with the accepted standards of technolo- gy and the guidelines of the German Medical Devices Act. 2.1 General safety instructions Familiarise yourself with the device in good time so that you are capable of operating it at any time.
Page 13
• Perform a function check after each use. • ATMOS recommends always having another suction device ready at hand. That way you can also perform suctioning if a device should fail. • Please observe the notes on the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of the device.
Never operate the product in potentially explosive areas or in areas that are oxygen- ated. • Only use original accessories and original spare parts from ATMOS. This applies to the power cable in particular. Tripping hazard due to cables. Injuries and fractures are possible.

The device may become damaged. • Ensure that no liquid enters the device. Once liquid has entered the device, it may no longer be used. In this case, clean the device and send it to ATMOS for repair. • Always place the device on firm, level ground. The device must always be in a vertical position when you use it.

3. If the device is damaged: document and report the damages in transit. Send the device to ATMOS (chapter „6.3 Sending in the device“ on page 41). 4. If the device is not damaged: place the device on a safe, level surface.
3.4 Connecting the secretion canister system and hoses 1. The anti-foaming device must be placed on the fill-level sensor for strongly foaming secretion. 2. Slide the secretion canister lid with the release button pointing forward onto the secretion canister. Make sure that the lid rim is under the bead of the secretion canister.

• For vacuum extraction, we recommend that you use a small secretion canister (1.5 l) so that the required vacuum can be generated with the least possible delay. • During automatic vacuum build-up, the ATMOS S 351 NATAL generates vacuum evenly and final vacuum is reached in the preset time.
• The pump output is increased, if possible, to counteract the leak. • The warning signal stops as soon as vacuum build-up can be continued or after the user cancels the action. The ATMOS S 351 NATAL cannot predict that the extraction cup will tear off. There is no warning for this. 4.8.3 Vacuum drop after final vacuum has been reached •...
The ATMOS S 351 NATAL cannot predict that the extraction cup will tear off. There is no warning for this. 4.8.4 Final vacuum is not reached • If the time for vacuum build-up has elapsed and the final vacuum has not been achieved, the device will wait for about another 35 s and then issue a warning sig- nal: fast flashing of a red LED and a beeping sound synchronised with the blinking LED. • The warning signal indicates a leak in the system which prevents the final vacuum from being achieved. • The warning signal stops as soon as the final vacuum is reached again or after the user cancels the action.
4.11 Changing the secretion canister Change or empty the secretion canister when it is 2/3 full. WARNING Risk of infection. Death or serious injuries from infection. Always wear disposable gloves when changing the secretion canister. 1. Stop the suction process by switching off the pump. 2. Remove the double hose connector from the full secretion canister. 3.
