4.10 Using an overflow canister If the bacterial filter becomes blocked too frequently, ATMOS recommends integrating an additional overflow canister (REF 444.0646.0) between the secretion canister and the bacterial filter. This absorbs moisture and foam bubbles occurring. An additional DDS bacterial filter can be used in the overflow canister. Replace the bacterial filter (REF 340.0054.0) with a new filter if it is discoloured, contaminated or oversucked. When the filter is used regularly, a filter change is recommended after 14 days at the latest. 4.11 Using a smoke evacuation filter According to the intended use, the device is used to suction liquids and pieces of tissue.
4.13 Checking the bacterial filter ATTENTION The bacterial filter is a disposable product and cannot be autoclaved or disinfected. • Set the vacuum regulator to "max". • As soon as the vacuum gauge shows a vacuum value > -0.3 bar, while the suction hose is open, the filter must be replaced. • To do this, remove the suction connections on the bacterial filter and insert the new bacterial filter. Pay attention to the correct flow direction. • Dispose of the used bacterial filter immediately. Always have some spare filters ready to hand! 4.14 Exchanging the secretion canister 1.
