• Perform a function check after each use. • ATMOS recommends always having another suction device ready at hand. That way you can also perform suctioning if a device should fail. • Please observe the notes on the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of the device.
Page 13
• Never operate the product in potentially explosive areas or in areas that are oxygenated. • Only use original accessories and original spare parts from ATMOS. This applies to the power cable in particular. WARNING Tripping hazard due to cables.
Page 14
The device may become damaged. • Ensure that no liquid enters the device. Once liquid has entered the device, it may no longer be used. In this case, clean the device and send it to ATMOS for repair. • Always place the device on firm, level ground. The device must always be in a vertical position when you use it.

• For vacuum extraction, we recommend that you use a small secretion canister (1.5 l) so that the required vacuum can be generated with the least possible delay. • During automatic vacuum build-up, the ATMOS S 351 NATAL generates vacuum evenly and the final vacuum is reached in the preset time.
Page 25
• The pump output is increased, if possible, to counteract the leak. • The warning signal stops as soon as vacuum build-up can be continued or after the user cancels the action. The ATMOS S 351 NATAL cannot predict that the extraction cup will tear off. There is no warning for this. 4.7.3 Vacuum drop after final vacuum has been reached •...

4.9 Electronic fill-level monitoring system The ATMOS S 351 NATAL has an electronic fill-level monitoring system that switches off the pump when the maximum fill level is reached. At the same time, the device beeps and then Secretion canister full appears in the display. The maximum fill level is reached when the liquid comes into contact with the sensor in the secretion canister lid. If a large amount of foam is generated, you should fit the enclosed anti-foaming device over the sensor so that the unit does not switch off prematurely. As soon as the sensor is no...

1. Plug the foot controller into the connection. 2. Connect the suction catheter, suction attachment or suction instrument to the suction hose. 3. Switch on the ATMOS S 351 NATAL. Make sure that the pilot lamp in the on/off switch lights up. 4. Select the final vacuum required using one of the buttons (5), (6) and (7). Keeping the − (5) and + (6) buttons pressed changes the value faster.
