1.4 Function • The ATMOS C 451 / C 361 is a mains-operated surgical suction device, the core of which is a high-performance, maintenance-free diaphragm pump. It generates vacuum in the suction hose and secretion canister system, which assists in suctioning and collecting secretions. Via a vacuum regulator with vacuum gauge, the final vacuum and thus the desired suction capacity can be precisely adjusted.

If you notice transport damage: 1. Document and report the transport damage. 2. Send the device to ATMOS; see chapter ‘7.3 Sending in the device’ on page 32. Environmental conditions for transport and storage: see chapter ‘12 Technical data’ on page 39 Storage: ...
• Never operate the product in potentially explosive areas or areas that are oxygenated. • Use only original accessories and original spare parts from ATMOS. This applies to the power supply cable in particular. WARNING Avoid misuse. Your patient can be severely injured.
Page 16
• Always carry out a function check each time before using the device. • ATMOS recommends always having another suction device ready at hand. That way you can also perform suctioning if a device should fail. WARNING Risk of infection due to pathogens on the product! Deadly diseases can be transmitted.
Use only proper mains connections and extension cords. • Never touch the device’s interfaces and the patient at the same time! • Use only original accessories and original spare parts from ATMOS. This applies to the power supply cable in particular. • Observe the specifications regarding periodic tests in chapter ‘7.1 Periodic tests’ on page 32.
• Insert the hose of the foot switch onto the connecting nipple. • Tighten the knurled nut Vacuum connection on bottom for system trolley / foot controller (only ATMOS C 451) • To connect, press the coupler firmly into the jack until it locks into place (serves to establish a vacuum connection for the foot controller or the secretion canisters attached to the system trolley).
4 Operation 4.1 Initial start-up Observe the safety instructions prior to initial start-up! After transporting the device at low temperatures, it should be kept at room temperature for at least six hours before initial start-up; otherwise, the device must not be operated.
4.6 Inserting and removing the DDS bacterial and viral filter / oversuction stop The DDS bacterial and viral filter / oversuction stop is intended for single use only. Before each use, check that the DDS bacterial and viral filter / oversuction stop is dry and clean. Replace the DDS bacterial and viral filter with a new DDS bacterial and viral filter if it is discoloured or contaminated or if oversuction has occurred. • Push the DDS bacterial and viral filter onto the DDS secretion canister handle.
4.10 Inserting the DDS hose adapter 1. Insert the DDS hose adapter (Ø 6 or 10 mm) into the ‘Patient’ opening on the DDS canister lid. 2. Turn it slightly and press it down. The adapter can be removed again by turning it slightly.
3. Replace the DDS bacterial and viral filter with a new DDS bacterial and viral filter if it is discoloured or contaminated or if oversuction has occurred. 4. Switch on the device. 5. Close the suction hose and set the desired vacuum. 6. Connect the suction catheter, suction attachment, or suction instrument. Observe the liquid level in the secretion canister while suctioning. The DDS bacterial and viral filter prevents liquid from being sucked into the pump. Nevertheless, the canister should be emptied or replaced when it is 2/3 full (including foam crown).
2. To increase the vacuum, press the pedal down. • When you lift off your foot, the controller locks in that position. System trolley • For mobile use, a system trolley is available that can be used with two ATMOS secretion canister systems on the DDS switchover station or with disposable systems. • Always position the system trolley on a flat, stable surface during operation.
5.1 Securing the device Safe operation of the mobile suction device is ensured only when used with the corresponding special system trolley or trolley with standard rail. • The suction device is placed on the system trolley in such a way that its feet engage in the holes of the trolley.
5.3.1 ATMOS C 451 • The adapter with standard rail (REF 340.0331.0 / 340.0058.0) is required to use the bottom vacuum connection. This adapter seals the upper vacuum connection and allows you to hang accessories on the standard rail section now available. • Mount the adapter with standard rail to the mounting fixture of the suction device as described in the enclosed assembly instructions.
(in the mounting groove). Assembly is carried out according to the enclosed assembly instructions. 5.6 Use of disposable suction systems (ATMOS, Serres®, Medi-Vac®, Receptal®) Observe the operating instructions by the manufacturer of the corresponding canister system.
