8.0 Cleaning / Disinfection
o The complete surface of the hose rewind, the trolley and the
device support must always be cleaned with a damp (not wet)
cloth and disinfected with a surface disinfection solution stated
on page 14 prior to use the device in another patient.
o In case the device is used in one patient only the device sur-
face should be cleaned if it is contaminated however at least
once every week with a damp (not wet) cloth and afterwards be
disinfected with a surface disinfectant stated on page 14.
8.2 Oversuction
When is a suction unit oversucked?
A suction device is oversucked if suction material penetrated into
the interior of the device.
How can one realise that the suction device is contaminated?
The new ATMOS

C 261 and ATMOS
®

have a condensate collector at the bottom of the device. For visual
inspection please remove the cap. The device is oversucked if
humidity or contamination is visible in the condensate collector.
Generally a reduced suction capacity is a sign of possible
oversuction. The device must be reprocessed by the manufacturer
or a certifi ed ATMOS partner if the device is oversucked. A
contaminated suction device bears a risk for the patient as well
as for the caregiver. Therefore, we recommend regular checking
of the condensate collector.
