Function

The ATMOS A / C 161 / 261 Aspirator is a very handy small suction unit.
®
It is driven by an electromotive, maintenance-free diaphragm-type pump.
During operation, the pump generates a vacuum within the hose system
and the collection canister, thus sucking off secretions or fl uids (e.g.
by means of a suction catheter). The fl uid is gathered in the collection
canister. A mechanical overfl ow safety (on the inner part of the collection
canister lid) avoids penetration Valid for C 161/ 261 Aspirator
The fi nal vacuum and, following, the air-fl ow rate can be adjusted by me-
ans of the fi ne control and the vacuumgauge. The unit is equipped with
a rechargeable battery (accumulator). Integrated microprocessor-based
technology assures safe charging of the battery; overcharging is thus
impossible. An overtemperature stop controlled by electronics avoids
overheating of the unit. A disposable bacterial fi lter plate integrated in the
lid of the collection canister prevents bacteria and liquid from penetrating
into the pump.

The reusable secretion canister is connected to the pump housing via
direct-docking, without any pedestrian hose system. Only the suction
hose has to be plugged in by the user.
A bacterial fi lter, located in the lid of the secretion canister, avoids ente-
ring of bacterias and liquids into the pump interior. A mechanical over-
suction stop integrated in the canister lid additionally avoids accidentally
absorbtion of secretion into the pump head.

Main functions: Temporarily and spontaneously suction of secretions,
blood and body fluids which typically accumulate during respiratory tract
suction and ENT treatment.
Med. indications/ application: Suction of the upper respiratory tract and
throat, nose, ear
Specification of the main function: Drainage and temporarily collection
of body fluids. By means of an electrical suction pump, a negative pressure
will be created. The integrated secretion canister allows a temporarily col-
lection of the derived body fluids.
Application organ: Upper respiratory tract (oral cavity, nasopharyngeal
cavity and bronchial system) and throat, nose, ear
Application time: Temporary use on the patient during respiratory tract
suction (< 60 min.) or short-term use at ENT treatment (up to 30 days).
Application site: The application site of respiratory tract suction is the
clinical, practices, nursing and home care sector. In ENT medicine the
devices are used in clinic and practice. The application of the device may
only be performed by medical trained and introduced staff.
Contraindications: Not adapted for:
• the continuous operation in case of drainages in the low vacuum range
(e.g. thoracic drainage or wound drainage).
• permanently endoscopic use.
• the use outside of the medical sector.
• the suction of flammable, corrosive and explosive substances.
• the suction in explosion-risk areas.
The product is:
x active
Sterility: The device is not sterile.
Single use product / reprocessing: The device and parts of the acces-
sories are reusable, for information on reprocessing and disinfection please
see the operating instructions.
