1.4.5 Interface description
1.4.5.1 Hydrophobic bacterial and viral filter
NOTE
The use of a hydrophobic bacterial and viral filter is not necessary if a suitable
hydrophobic bacterial and viral filter is integrated for a specific purpose in the septic
fluid jar of a disposal suction liner.
The hydrophobic bacterial and viral filter protects against contaminants which could be present in
the form of particles or aerosols in the gas drawn in. Moreover, the hydrophobic filter serves as
protection against oversuction; the filter closes off the flow of gas to the product in the event of
oversuction. In its function as bacterial and viral filter, it protects the inside of the aspirator from
the ingress of bacteria and viruses. This ATMOS product (REF 5752 1783) is a hydrophobic
bacterial and viral filter with a pore size of 0.2 μm.
Prerequisites
• Pore size ≤ 1.0 μm.
• Use a bacterial and viral filters suitable for the particular application.
• The tube connector must match the tube being used.
• Hydrophobic filter must close tightly against water passage at an absolute pressure of up to
10 kPa.
• Observe the direction of flow, if applicable (see note on hydrophobic filter).
1.4.5.2 Vacuum connection tube
The vacuum connection tube is used to connect the aspirator (tube connector or overflow
protection device) and the septic fluid jar.
Technical specifications
• Shore hardness of 60
• Internal diameter of 6-8 mm
• Tube length maximum of 60 cm ±10 cm
• Vacuum resistant down to -95 kPa (may not collapse).
Prerequisites
• The internal diameter of the vacuum connection tube should match the outer diameter of the
tube connector on the septic fluid jar cap of the pump.
The vacuum connection tube will be referred to only as ‘connection tube’ below.
1.4.5.3 Septic fluid jar including septic fluid jar cap
The septic fluid jar is used to collect the septic fluids extracted.
Septic fluid jars with mounted septic fluid jar cap will be referred to as suction set in the following.

and its making contact with live components.
Never insert any objects into the case.
DANGER!
Potentially fatal due to electrical shock!
The product may only be connected to voltage supplies with protected earth
connections.
WARNING!
Risk of injury!
ATMOS products may be used only when fully functional.
Check to ensure that this ATMOS product is fully functional and in good working
order prior to use.
DANGER!
Danger to life!
Patient may be endangered as a result of incorrect use.
Follow the operating instructions for all accessories.
WARNING!
Risk of injury!
Electrical devices (e. G. mobile phones, radios, magnetic resonance tomographs)
may interfere with the functioning of the product when used near the product.
Do not use electrical devices that may interfere with the functionality of the product
in the vicinity of the product.
Observe the specifications in the technical data of the OR table with regard to
electromagnetic compatibility (transmission and resistance).
Observe the specifications from the technical data for the use of electrical devices
and respond to any effects on the device or the product.
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.
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.

Safety notes
Product safety notes
18 GA 5752 1555 DE 28

DANGER!
Infection hazard!
The bacterial filter paper provides additional protection against contamination of the
ambient air.
Do not operate the aspirator without a bacterial filter paper.
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!
