Atmos C 051 Thorax Operating Instructions Manual page 30

If the leakage test is activated, it will start
automatically once the device is switched on.
The hose attachment towards the drainage
catheter should already be sealed with a sterile
plug when starting up the device. Alternatively
the chest tube can be clamped near to the
patient.
Do not clamp the ATMOS hose system.
If the leakage test is error-free, the message
„Leakage test OK" appears. Now you can remove
the plug from the hose. By pressing the button
you will reach the main menu.
If the leakage test is faulty, the message „Leakage
test failed" appears. Check the hose connections
and whether the secretion canister is correctly
clicked into place. You now have the possibility to
a) repeat the test
b) abort the test and continue by pressing the
respective buttons on the screen.
ATTENTION: If the leakage test is operated
accordingly, the leakage must not be ignored.
If the device dropped down it must not be
operated.
Send the device in for repair. Treatment with
defective equipment can cause fatal injuries to
the patient.
The intention of ' A bort leakage test' is to skip
the leakage test if a standard test is not possible
under the given conditions.
