Atmos S 201 Thorax Operating Instructions Manual page 31

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. By
touching the corresponding buttons you now
have the option 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 has been dropped, it must no
longer be operated. Send the device in for
repair. Treatment with defective device 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.
