1.4 Function

The ATMOS Record 55 is a mains-operated surgical suction device, the core of which is a
high-performance, maintenance-free diaphragm pump. It generates vacuum in the hose
and rinsing canister system which assists in drawing off and collecting the secretions.
Via a vacuum regulator with vacuum gauge, the final vacuum and thus the desired
suction capacity can be precisely adjusted.
Several secretion canisters of different sizes are available for secretion collection. A
mechanical overflow protection on the double hose connector and a bacterial filter
in the vacuum hose from the secretion canister to the pump, prevents the suction of
secretion into the pump.
