Prerequisites For Operating The Secretion Canister For Temporary Gravity Drainage With The Device Switched Off; Filling The Water Lock; Leakage Test - Atmos S 201 Thorax Operating Instructions Manual

3.4.1 Prerequisites for operating the secretion canister for temporary
gravity drainage with the device switched off
• Device ATMOS S 201 Thorax with hybrid option (REF 312.1000.0 and 312.1090.0 – see display
for markings)
• Secretion canister with water lock (REF 312.1150.5 or 312.1120.0)
• Filled water lock (50 ml)
• It is mandatory to perform a leakage test upon device start-up (see chapter '3.4.3 Leakage test'
on page 29)
The hybrid option is only valid in conjunction with a secretion canister with water lock
(REF 312.1150.5 and 312.1120.0) and the ATMOS S 201 Thorax with hybrid option.
The device can be identified by the following markings:

3.4.2 Filling the water lock

Only applicable for REF 312.1150.5 and 312.1120.0, but not for REF 312.1140.0 (see chapter
'7.0 Accessories, consumables and spare parts' on page 52).
The water lock is on the right side of the secretion canister. A bacterial and viral filter and a riser
are included. The water lock is filled with water through the riser. For filling the water lock, a
sterile cannula 20 G, a sterile syringe, and 50 ml sterile water are required. With the cannula you
may puncture the silicone seal above the riser and then fill the water lock.
Prior to use, the water lock must be filled to the prescribed filling level (not above the 2 cm
mark) and should be checked regularly to ensure proper operation.
Prior to inserting the secretion canister into the device, make sure that the filler for the water
lock is sealed with the plug.
1. Use only pre-packaged sterile fluid for filling the water lock.
2. Now insert the filled canister into the device.

3.4.3 Leakage test

The leakage test checks the tightness of the entire system.
In order to use the ATMOS S 201 Thorax with hybrid option for gravity drainage, a leakage test
must be passed before use! The leakage test must not be deactivated.
1. Connect the secretion hose of the hose system to the secretion canister.
2. Connect the measuring and rinsing hose of the hose system to the device.
Do not overtighten the Luer lock connections!
3. Attach the connector of the hose system to the hose end at the patient's side.
Check the Luer lock cap of the connector for leak tightness!
4. Close the connector.
5. Switch on the device.
