8.2 Oversuction

When is a suction unit oversucked?
A suction device is oversucked if suction material penetrated into
the interior of the device.
How can one realise that the suction device is contaminated?
The new ATMOS C 161, ATMOS
®
have a condensate collector at the bottom of the device. For visual
inspection please remove the cap. The device is oversucked if
humidity or contamination is visible in the condensate collector.
Generally a reduced suction capacity is a sign of possible
oversuction. The device must be reprocessed by the manufacturer
or a certifi ed ATMOS partner if the device is oversucked. A
contaminated suction device bears a risk for the patient as well
as for the caregiver. Therefore, we recommend regular checking
of the condensate collector.
