4.7.7 Vacuum steps
4.8 Vacuum extraction
• 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 device offers you the possibility of choosing between fully automatic (AUTO) and
semi-automatic (SEMI) vacuum build-up.
1. Press the ON / OFF switch.
»
The start screen appears.
»
The pump starts automatically in the stored vacuum extraction mode (SEMI or AUTO).
»
By pressing button 2 (OFF), you stop vacuum extraction mode and are immediately
redirected to suction mode.
»
The ON / OFF switch remains lit as long as the device is on.
2. Apply the extraction cup.
AUTO:
»
After the base vacuum of −20 kPa has been reached, automatic vacuum build-up is
started and is indicated by an advisory tone. The remaining time (in seconds) to final
vacuum is shown on the middle right of the display.
»
An advisory tone signals that the final vacuum has been reached, and the LED lights
up green.
»
The final vacuum is held.
You can now begin with vacuum extraction.
SEMI:
»
An advisory tone sounds when the base vacuum of −20 kPa has been reached. Check
the positioning of the extraction cup.
Operation
1. Press the + (6) or – (5) button to
