heavy objects since this may lead to deformation and
with it to loss of function.
There is a risk of contamination for the device.
●ATMOS recommends always having another suction
device ready to hand. That way you can perform
suctioning even in the event of device failure.
●The design of the ATMOS C 361fullstherequirementsof
IEC 601/ EN 60601. It is assigned to VDE protection class
II. It may only be connected to a properly installed earthed
power outlet.
●Before putting the device into operation, visually check the
unit, secretion canister, power cable, accessories, con-
nection cables and hoses for signs of damage. Damaged
cables and hoses must be replaced immediately. Check
function of the device prior to use.
●The ATMOS C 361 may only be used in supervised operation
byqualiedpersonnel(IEC601-1/EN60601-1).
●The device may be operated only in rooms used for medical
purposes. The ATMOS C 361 is not designed for use in

the required mains voltage and frequency on the device
matches the voltage and frequency ratings of the power
line.
●Only proper and undamaged plugs and extension cables
may be used.
●The suction hose must never come into direct contact
with the application site. A suction catheter, attachment or
a medical aspiration set must always be connected to the
hose.
● Whenusingdierentsecretioncanistersystemsthereis
a risk of contamination when operating the device without
an oversuction stop / hydrophobic DDS bacterial and viral
lter.
Do not use the device or rinsing canister without a DDS
bacterialandvirallter.
●There is a risk of an electric shock in the event of oversuc-
tion of the oversuction stop / hydrophobic DDS bacterial
andvirallter.
