1.2 Function
The ATMOS
®
A / C 161 Battery is a very handy small suction unit. It is
driven by an electromotive, maintenance-free swing piston pump. During
operation, the pump generates a vacuum within the hose system and the
collection canister, thus sucking off secretions or fl uids (e.g. by means
of a suction catheter). The fl uid is gathered in the collection canister. A
mechanical overfl ow safety (on the inner part of the collection canister
lid) avoids penetration of secretion into the pump head.

The fi nal vacuum and, following, the air-fl ow rate can be adjusted by me-
ans of the fi ne control and the vacuumgauge. An overtemperature stop
controlled by electronics avoids overheating of the unit.

The fi nal vacuum and, following, the air-fl ow rate can be adjusted by
means of 3 step vacuum regulation.An overtemperature stop controlled

A / C 161 Battery / DDS:
The reusable secretion canister is connected to the pump housing via
direct-docking, without any pedestrian hose system. Only the suction
hose has to be plugged in by the user.
A bacterial fi lter, located in the lid of the secretion canister, avoids ente-
ring of bacterias and liquids into the pump interior. A mechanical over-
suction stop integrated in the canister lid additionally avoids accidentally
absorption of secretion into the pump head.

Intended use
Name:
ATMOS
®
A 161 Battery / ATMOS
®
C 161 Battery
Main functions:
Temporarily and spontaneously suction of secretions,
blood and body fluids which typically accumulate during respiratory tract
suction and ENT treatment.
Med. indications/ application:
Suction of the upper respiratory track
and throat, nose, ear
Specification of the main function
: Drainage and temporarily collec-
tion of body fluids. By means of an electrical suction pump, a negative
pressure will be created. The integrated secretion canister allows a tem-
porarily collection of the derived body fluids.
Application organ:
Upper respiratory track (oral cavity, nasopharyngeal
cavity and bronchial system) and throat, nose, ear
Application time:
Temporary use on the patient during respiratory tract
suction (< 60 min.) or short-term use at ENT treatment (up to 30 days)
Application site:
The application site of respiratory tract suction is the
clinical, practices, nursing and home care sector. In ENT medicine the
devices are used in clinic and practice.
The application of the device may only be performed by medical trained
and introduced staff.
Contraindications:
Not adapted for:
• the continuous operation in case of drainages in the low vacuum range
(e.g. thoracic drainage or wound drainage).
• permanently endoscopic use.
• the use outside of the medical sector.
• the suction of flammable, corrosive and explosive substances.
• the suction in explosion-risk areas.

Sterility:
The device is not sterile.
Single use product / reprocessing:
The device and part of the acces-
sories are reusable, for information on reprocessing and disinfection
please see the operating instructions.
