Product name: ATMOS C 051 Thorax Main functions: The ATMOS C 051 Thorax is a device for mobile, digital car- diothoracic drainage. The system generates a controlled vacuum close to the patient and has an electronic moni- toring system which shows the actual vacuum measured at the patient's side and the air leak.
Secretion canister 800 ml Main functions: The secretion canister passes on the controlled vacuum generated by the ATMOS C 051 Thorax. Fluids and air are drained through the secretion hose and collected in the secretion canister. Via balancing scales, the amount of flu- id in the secretion canister is readable and documentable.
Other contra-indications: • No application with cardiothoracic drainage systems other than the ATMOS C 051Thorax • No separate use of the secretion canister and the hose system (i.e. without device) as gravity drainage •...

Main functions: The double-lumen hose system passes on the controlled vacuum generated by the device. The secretion hose drains fluids and air into the secretion canister. The meas- uring and rinsing hose measures and regulates the vacu- um applied on the patient's side. A bacterial and viral filter on the measuring and rinsing hose protects against con- tamination with bacteria and viruses. At defined intervals, a valve opens to conduct air through the measuring and rinsing hose into the secretion hose and to flush fluids, coagula and other blockages into the secretion canister.
Other contra-indications: • No application with cardiothoracic drainage systems other than the ATMOS C 051 Thorax, ATMOS S 201 Tho- rax and ATMOS E 201 Thorax • No application in emergency and rescue situations • Not in the homecare area that is not supervised by healthcare professionals.
If damage occurs during transport: 1. Document and report damages in transit. 2. Fill in form QD 434 “Customer complaint/return shipment”. 3. Send the device to ATMOS (chapter „9.3 Sending in the device“ on page 56). Ambient conditions for transport and storage • Temperature: −10...+50 °C...

3.0 Setting up and starting up Scope of delivery The ATMOS C 051 Thorax was subjected to an extensive functional test and was carefully packed prior to dispatch. On receipt of the goods please check the package for any possible damage and compare the contents for completeness.
Attention! Prior to first start up of the ATMOS C 051 Thorax, the battery must be fully charged. Only the battery power supply unit supplied by ATMOS should be used. Please note the infor- mation on how to handle rechargeable batteries in chapter „9.4 Handling of batteries“ on page 57. Correct handling of the rechargeable batteries prolongs their maximum service life. Bat- teries are wearing parts and therefore excluded from the general warranty.
If the battery is too low for further operation, the ATMOS C 051 Thorax switches off automatically. The battery of the ATMOS C 051 Thorax can also be charged when the device is switched off. The state of charge can be seen on the display.

• The ATMOS C 051 Thorax has a vacuum regulator. This means, that the integrated pump only starts, if the actual vacuum doesn't correspond to the target vacuum. On the other hand the pumps performance depends on the difference between the actual vacuum and the target vacuum. • The vacuum is measured at the patient side of the hose system.
Key lock The ATMOS C 051 Thorax has an automatic key lock. 1. Automatic activation of the key lock If the settings are not changed for a defined time, the key lock will be activated automatically (default factory setting 1 minute, individually adjustable in the user settings). This will prevent unintentional operation. 2. Manually activate the key lock...
