1.4 Function The ATMOS Record 55 is a mains-operated surgical suction device, the core of which is a high-performance, maintenance-free diaphragm pump. It generates vacuum in the hose and secretion canister system, which assists in drawing off and collecting the secretions.
If damage occurs during transport: 1. Document and report the transport damage. 2. Send the device to ATMOS; see chapter ‘6.3 Sending in the device’ on page 24. Environmental conditions for transport and storage: see chapter ‘10 Technical data’ on page 29.
‘1.3 Intended use’ on page 6. • Never operate the product in potentially explosive areas or in areas that are oxygenated. • Only use original accessories and original spare parts from ATMOS. WARNING Risk of severe injury to your patient. Avoid misuse. •...

• Prior to first use, the transport protection on the bottom of the device must be removed. • ATMOS recommends always having another suction device ready at hand. Thus, suction is available even in the event of device failure. WARNING Risk of infection due to pathogens on the product! Deadly diseases can be transmitted.
• Never touch the device interface and the patient at the same time! • Only use original accessories and original spare parts from ATMOS. • Please pay attention to the periodic tests in chapter ‘6 Maintenance and service’ on page 24.
4 Operation 4.1 Initial start-up Observe the safety instructions prior to initial start-up! Remove the transport protection on the bottom of the device by loosening the two red marked Allen screws. The transport protection screws must be inserted again before a return transport of the device.
4.6 Connecting the suction hose • Attach the suction hose to the angled connection. 4.7 Serres®, Medi-Vac® secretion canister system, other canister systems Observe the operating instructions by the manufacturer of the corresponding canister system. Do not operate the device without a bacterial filter. 4.8 Secretion canister system •...
4.10 Using an overflow canister If the bacterial filter becomes blocked too frequently, ATMOS recommends integrating an additional overflow canister (REF 444.0646.0) between the secretion canister and the bacterial filter. This absorbs moisture and foam bubbles. An additional DDS bacterial filter can be used in the overflow canister. Replace the bacterial filter (REF 340.0054.0) with a new filter if it is discoloured or contaminated, or if oversuction has occurred. When the filter is used regularly, a filter change is recommended after 14 days at the latest. 4.11 Using a smoke evacuation filter According to the intended use, the device is used to suction liquids and pieces of tissue.
4.13 Checking the bacterial filter NOTICE The bacterial filter is a disposable product and cannot be autoclaved or disinfected. • Set the vacuum regulator to ‘max’. • As soon as the vacuum gauge shows a vacuum value higher than −0.3 bar while the suction hose is open, the bacterial filter must be replaced. • To do this, remove the suction connections on the bacterial filter and insert the new bacterial filter. Pay attention to the correct flow direction. • Dispose of the used bacterial filter immediately. Always have some spare filters ready to hand! 4.14 Exchanging the secretion canister 1.
4.16 Options Foot switch REF 443.0755.0 Pneumatically explosion-proof switch for switching the device on and off. 1. Connect the foot switch. 2. Set the main switch in the control panel to foot switch operation (OFF). 3. When you press the foot switch, the device is switched on.
