1.0 Introduction

1.1 Notes on operating instructions

These operating instructions contain important notes on how to operate the ATMOS C 161 Battery

safely, correctly and effectively. Their reading helps to avoid risks, and also to reduce repair costs

and down-time. That increases, amongst other things, the reliability and service-life of the device.

These operating instructions serve not only for new operating personnel to be instructed in its use,

but also for use as a reference manual.

These operating instructions must always be kept available near the device.

Care and safety inspections in conjunction with professional execution provide for operational safety

and readiness for use of your ATMOS C 161 Battery and are therefore a must besides regular clea-

ning.

Repair work and safety inspections may be carried out only by expert personnel authorised by

ATMOS. By applying only original spare parts you will have the guarantee that operational safety,

readiness for work and the value of your ATMOS C 161 Battery will be preserved..

● The product ATMOS C 161 Battery bears CE marking according to the EC Directive of the

council for medical products 93/42/EEC and meets the basic requirements of annex I of this

directive.

● The quality management system applied at ATMOS has been certi ed according to international

standards EN ISO 9001 and EN ISO 13485.

● Prior to start-up please peruse chapter 2.0 „For your safety“, in order to be prepared for any

possible dangerous situations.

●These operating instructions correspond to the design of the ATMOS C 161 Battery and the status

of basic safety engineering standards on going to press.

●Reproduction of these instructions – even in part – only with the written permission of ATMOS.

●Subject to alterations and changes.

1.2 Function

The ATMOS C 161 Battery is a very handy small suction unit. It

is driven by an electromotive, maintenance-free diaphragm-type

pump. During operation, the pump generates a vacuum within the

hose system and the collection jar, thus sucking off secretions or

 uids (e.g. by means of a suction catheter). The  uid is gathered

in the collection jar. A mechanical over ow safety (on the inner

part of the collection jar lid) avoids penetration of secretion into

the pump head. The  nal vacuum and, following, the air- ow rate

can be adjusted by means of the  ne control and the vacuum-

gauge. The unit is equipped with a rechargeable battery (accu-

mulator). Integrated microprocessor-based technology assures

safe charging of the battery; overcharging is thus impossible. An

overtemperature stop controlled by electronics avoids overheating

of the unit. A disposable bacterial  lter plate integrated in the lid of

the collection jar prevents bacteria and liquid from penetrating into

the pump.

For ATMOS C 161 Battery / DDS:

The reusable secretion container is connected to the pump

housing via direct-docking, without any pedestrian hose system.

Only the suction hose has to be plugged in by the user.

A bacterial  lter, located in the lid of the secretion container,

avoids entering of bacterias and liquids into the pump interior.

A mechanical oversuction stop integrated in the container lid

additionally avoids accidentally absorbtion of secretion into the

pump head.

1.3 Intended use

●The ATMOS C 161 Battery s in battery-operated medical suction

device for temporary and spontaneous suction of secretions and

body  uids, which typically occure with airway suction.

The  elds of application are:

-in-patient and out-patient care, for secretion suction (sputum),

body  uids and rinsing liquids.

- in geriatric nursing for secretion suction (sputum), body  uids

and rinsing liquids as well as for spontaneous suction of foreign

bodies, for example, after a foreign body aspiration.

-in home care for bronchial toilet on laryngectomy and tracheo-

tomy patients (with tracheal cannula). Especially for aspiration

of mucus, sputum, secretion and body  uids in tracheostoma

4.3 Suction procedure

●Then, lead in the catheter in the same way as shown by

your hospital staff and start the suction procedure.

●Control the suction procedure with the auxiliary air vent

() on the  ngertip.

 The hydrophobic DDS bacterial  lter / oversuction stop

safely avoids ingress of moisture. Nevertheless you should

empty the jar at a  ll level of 1/2.

●The secretion container system is designed the way that

secretions  ows laterally to the wall. Therefore the foam

formation in the container is reduced.

●Adjust your desired vacuum by closing the suction

hose opening with the  nger () the vacuum is then

generated. Open the regulating valve / vacuum control

(page 4, ) until the vacuumgauge shows the desired

vacuum value

●Choose a suction catheter of the right size (which are

available from ATMOS in 3 different sizes) or a suction

instrument which is only available from specialized dea-

lers.

4.0 General operation ATMOS C 161 Battery

4.2 Adjust vacuum

4.1 Suction hose

●Join the suction hose () and the suction catheter () by means of the  nger tip ().

4.4 Hose rinsing

●Dispose the suction catheter and rinse the

suction tube with clean water or disinfection

liquid after every suction procedure. We

recommend to use the rinsing bottle in which

you can carry clean water along with you.

A separate rinsing container set is avaible

(REF 313.0008.0).

Important

notes on safety

● Make sure that the collection jar is evacuated

in time. As soon as the jar is half- lled, it

must be emptied (this principle proves right in

all applicaton ranges).

● Attention: Suction procedures in the respi-

ratory tract may only be implemented after

appropriate instruction by hospital or special

staff.

●When the maximum level is exceeded,

the over ow safety reacts and suction is

stopped. Empty the jar

●Check the vacuum readout regularly!

●If secretion has been soaked up into the

pump due to improper use or manipulation,

the device must be repaired from a service

patner authorised by ATMOS.

●For aspiration use only applicable suction

catheters, attachments or a medical aspi-

ration sets.

●Whilst aspirating please pay attention to the

 lling level of the secretion container.

Therefore always hold ready a replace-

ment DDS bacterial ﬁ lter!

●Please use gloves when changing the

bacterial  lter!

● The DDS bacterial  lter / oversuction stop

is disposable.

Therefore the DDS bacterial  lter must be

changed each time the device is used by

another patient.

In the case the device is exclusively used

in one patient, the  lter must be exchanged

at least every two weeks. (depending on

frequency of use)

●Before each use, check that the DDS bacte-

ria  lter / oversuction stop is clean and dry.

Wet or dirty  lters must be replaced with

new ones. The  lter is no longer in optimum

condition if the vacuum displayed is above

-0.3 bar when the vacuum controller is in

the ”max.” position and the suction hose is

open. The  lter must then be replaced.

● Vacuum connection

Direct-Docking-System

8.1 Basic information

For ATMOS C 161 Battery DDS:

● Change the bacterial ﬁ lter!

- when being used by just one patient:

The ﬁ lter must be exchanged at least every two weeks.

(see chapter 8, enclosed cleaning and servicing plan)

- when being used by more than one patient:

Change ﬁ lter per person

● Remove the mains plug from the socket before starting cleaning and

disinfection!

● The measures described for cleaning and disinfection or sterilisation

are not intended to replace the regulations applicable for operation

in each case!

● Always comply on principle with the relevant manu-

facturer’s information regarding concentration and notes for use!

● Attention: The lid parts and silicone hoses might get dyed by some

disinfectants; a fact which does not take effect on the attributes of

the materials. These silicone and collection jar parts may also be

boiled (for more than 10 min).

● Basically, all parts which come into contact with secretion must be

cleaned, disinfected or sterilized after every use. Consumables like,

e.g.  lters, catheter,..., must be exchanged.

● We recommend changing the hoses every 4 weeks!

● Pay attention to storing a suf cient number of replacement bacterial

 lters! DDS bacterial  lter oversuction stop are available in

packaging units of 10, 50, and 100 pcs (REF 340.0054.0)

and other products must be avoided. The intervals stated in the list are non-

binding guide values. Depending on the use shorter intervals may be neces-

sary.

For each patient a new or a reprocessed suction device must be used.

Otherwise there is high and acute danger of infection for the patient, the

user and any third person!

Special notes:

Before operating the suction device, the user has to make sure that the device

functions and is in good order and condition. The user has to observe the

instructions in the operating manual as well as all other safety-related and

maintenance information enclosed.

For cleaning and disinfection only agents which are recommended by the ma-

nufacturer, may be used.

Only sterile, single-use suction catheters may be used for suctioning. They

have to be exchanged before each suction process. During use utmost at-

tention to hygiene (e.g. disinfection of hands, wearing single-use gloves) is

indispensable. After each use the secretion container and the hose must be

rinsed thoroughly with water. During storage the contamination of the device

Important notes

General information

The way the suction device is used determines its reliability and safety.

These hygiene measures are indispensable for protecting the patient

and the user and for maintaining a safe and reliable suction device.

These measures do not replace a reprocessing, performed by the

manufacturer or by any certiﬁ ed ATMOS partner before re-using

the device on a new patient.

This cleaning and servicing plan as well as the relevant notes result

from many years of experience. Depending on the use and the user’s

experience shorter intervals may be necessary.

ATMOS recommends the following sets of consumables:

According to this cleaning and servicing plan the following con-

sumables have to be changed:

suction catheter, length: 50 cm, 100 pieces

Disconnect the mains plug from the socket before commencing

with cleaning and disinfection!

Please observe the notes in the operating instructions, especially

regarding the recommended agents.

 All parts (except bacterial filter and device, Sterile parts and con-

sumables) are autoclave-safe up to 130°C.

Cleaning of the secretion container

Please empty the secretion container after each use, rinse it thorough-

ly with warm water and clean it with washing-up liquid. Tenacious

contaminations can be removed with a standard bottle brush.

Cleaning of the container lid

The bacterial  lter must be removed before cleaning, please use sin-

gle-use gloves or tweezers. Please demount the container lid after

each use and rinse it thoroughly. The lid must be absolutely dry before

reuse. Please pay attention to a correct function of the over ow safety

when mounting the lid.

Bacterial ﬁ lter

The bacterial  lter prevents penetration of micro organisms and secre-

tion into the device, respectively blowing out from it and is therefore a

protection for the user and the device. For hygienic reasons a weekly

exchange is recommended. If the maximum vacuum is adjusted, the

suction hose is open and the vacuum gauge shows a basic vacuum

of > -0.3 bar, then the bacterial  lter must be exchanged immediately.

In case of contamination the  lter must also be replaced. In order to

increase the service life of bacterial  lters, it is recommended to

empty the secretion container when it is half-full. Always use the origi-

nal ATMOS bacterial  lter

 The suction device cannot be operated without bacterial  lter!

Hose connection/ﬁ ngertip

The  ngertip connects the suction hose to the suction catheter. As the

 ngertip is in direct contact with secretion, and it is dif cult to clean, we

recommend a daily exchanged.

Suction Hose

The suction hose conducts the secretion from the suction catheter to

the container. In order to prevent secretion from drying, the hose must

be thoroughly rinsed with clear water after each use. The water can

be sucked into the secretion container. Please  ll the secretion con-

tainer only half. Frequent cleaning and disinfection/sterilisation may

discolour and embrittle the hose. Therefore, a monthly exchange of

the suction hose is recommended.

Cleaning of the device (housing)

When the device is contaminated but at least once per week the

housing must be wiped off with a moist (but not wet) cloth. A weekly

disinfection is recommended.

 Never irrigate the device with water and never emerge it into any

liquid.

Cleaning/disinfection

To improve the cleaning effect, standard washing-up liquid can be ad-

ded to the warm water. In the case of tenacious contamination the

parts should be steeped in water for a length of time or they may be

removed with a soft brush or cloth. After thorough cleaning, container,

 ngertip and hoses can be disinfected with a disinfection agent (see

operating instructions). As an alternative the parts can also be boiled

(except the device).
