ambient air.
Do not operate the aspirator without a bacterial filter paper.
WARNING!
Risk of injury!
ATMOS-Produkte dürfen nur in voll funktionsfähigem Zustand eingesetzt werden.
Check to ensure that the ATMOS product is fully functional and in good working
order prior to use.
WARNING!
Risk of injury!
Electrical devices (e.g. mobile phones, radios, magnetic resonance tomography
scanners) may interfere with the functioning of the equipment when used in the
vicinity of the equipment.
Please observe the specifications regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
(emission and resistance to interference).
Adhere to these specifications when using electrical devices and react if you see
your equipment being affected in any way.
WARNING!
Risk of infection due to improper handling
Applicable rules for hygiene have to be observed in order to avoid infection or
bacterial contamination when suctioning off and disposing of secretions. Observe
the intended purpose of the bacterial filter. Use only sterile catheters during
extraction and ensure that the patient is not injured during the procedure. Always
wear gloves while working.
WARNING!
Risk of infection due to using no or a defective hydrophobic bacterial and virus
filter.
Secretions enter the aspirator during aspiration.
Stop using the aspirator. Clean and disinfect the aspirator and have it repaired by a
service technician authorised by ATMOS to do so.
2.2 Product safety notes
DANGER!
Infection hazard!
Risk of bacteria and viruses entering the aspirator.
A bacterial and virus filter protects the inside of the aspirator against contamination
by bacteria and viruses.
Use a bacterial and virus filter which also provides protection against oversuction.

WARNING!
Risk of injury!
Aggressive vapours may be generated during the aspiration of liquids.
Use appropriate smoke filter for the aspiration of liquids with highly volatile agents
(e.g. when using iodine as disinfectant).
CAUTION!
Property damage due to oversuction!
The product may only be operated with the overflow protection in place as
otherwise oversuction could occur. A hydrophobic filter offers an additional
protection against oversuction. It closes off the flow of gas to the product. Particles
in the gaseous phase may clog the hydrophobic filter.
Use a bacterial and virus filter which also protects the inside of the aspiration from
bacterial and viruses.
CAUTION!
Observe ambient conditions!
If the ambient conditions are undercut or exceeded during transportation, storage
or operation, functionality may be affected.
Conduct a functional check and rectify any deficiencies.
CAUTION!
Property damage due to foaming!
Foam may be created when extracting secretion. Foam is detrimental to the
functioning of the mechanical overflow protection. This gives rise to the risk of
secretions entering and damaging the aspirator.
Always use a hydrophobic bacterial and viral filter and a commercially available
foam inhibitor.
CAUTION!
Property damage!
Proper functioning of the mechanical overflow protection is only assured with the
product in upright position.
Place the product in upright position during operation. When using a trolley, the
castors must be locked during operation.
CAUTION!
Property damage due to overheating!
If placed on a soft surface (such as pillows or a mattress), the ventilation slots may
be covered and the product will overheat.
The product should be upright and placed on a solid surface during operation.
CAUTION!
Property damage!
Excessive exposure of plastic housing components to ultraviolet radiation leads to
premature material fatigue, resulting in breakage.
Protect the product against direct sunlight.
