2.1 General safety notes
WARNING!
Risk of injury!
Hazard resulting from incorrect handling.
Be absolutely sure to observe the operating instructions for all the products used in
the configuration.
WARNING!
Risk of injury!
ATMOS products may be used only when fully functional.
Ensure that the ATMOS product is fully functional and in good working order prior
to use. ATMOS recommends always having another aspirator ready to hand. This
enables aspiration even in the event of product failure.
CAUTION!
ATMOS recommends always having another suction device ready to hand. This
enables aspiration even in the event of product failure.
2.2 Product safety notes
DANGER!
Defective product!
Using incorrect spare parts and accessories can cause injuries or equipment
failure.
Only use original accessories or spare parts.
DANGER!
Infection hazard due to oversuction!
To avoid the ingress of fluid or foam into the product or the vacuum source, a
hydrophobic filter must be used. If secretion enters the inside of the unit, the
product must immediately be taken out of operation. Clean and disinfect the
product and have it repaired by a service technician authorised by ATMOS to do
so.
DANGER!
Infection hazard due to contamination!
To avoid the ingress of contaminants into the product or the vacuum source, a
bacterial and viral filter must be used. If bacteria or viruses enter the inside of the
unit, the product must immediately be taken out of operation. Clean and disinfect
the product and have it repaired by a service technician authorised by ATMOS to
do so.
WARNING!
Measuring accuracy / oversuction!
The product may only be operated in a vertical position.

Safety notes
Product safety notes
GA 5752 2135 GB 18 15

WARNING!
Backflow of aspirated secretion!
In the event of oversuction, the aspirated secretion may flow back to the patient if
there is secretion still left in the suction tube.
Before replacing the septic fluid jar in the event of oversuction or switching off the
vacuum, always remove the tube from the patient first.
WARNING!
Impacts!
Impacts may cause damage to sensitive, precision mechanical components.
Do not expose the product to impacts.
WARNING!
Foaming!
Foam may be created when extracting secretion. Foam is detrimental to the
functioning of the mechanical overflow protection. This raises the risk that secretion
may penetrate the product and cause it to break down.
Use an ordinary foam inhibitor.
WARNING!
Risk to patient!
Use the special tapping unit for thoracic draining for vacuum limiting in the
regulating range less than 3 kPa, in particular in thoracic drainage.
WARNING!
Non-permissible load!
If the permissible load is exceeded, leakages may occur at the connection between
the terminal unit and the gas probe.
In accordance with DIN EN ISO 9170-1, the overall weight of the product and
accessories may not exceed 2 kg.
WARNING!
Risk of injury!
Replace the hydrophobic bacterial and viral filter immediately if it is discoloured,
contaminated or oversucked.
Furthermore,thefiltermustbechangedifthevacuumdisplayedis−0.13bar/
