9.2 Reprocessing
The way the suction device is used determines its
reliability and safety. These hygiene measures descri-
bed in the last chapter are indispensable for protecting
the patient and the user and for maintaining a safe and

When you can ensure the device was not over-
sucked then perform a reprocessing acc. to Medical
Devices Operator Ordinance, Medical Devices Act
and BVMed guidelines. The reprocessing consists
of cleaning, surface disinfection as well as the
exchange of consumables. An ATMOS set of con-
sumables is available for this purpose.
If you cannot exclude that the device was over-
sucked then the device must be repaired by the
manufacturer, by a certifi ed ATMOS partner or an
ATMOS authorized, specialized dealer. Subsequent-
ly the device may be operated again.
