DANGER!
Risk of injury to mucous membranes!
Endobronchial aspiration in paediatrics and neonatology requires particularly
careful limitation of the vacuum. For the regular endobronchial aspiration in
paediatrics and neonatology, ATMOS also offers paediatric versions with a higher
level of setting convenience.
WARNING!
Impacts!
Impacts may cause damage to sensitive, precision mechanical components.
Do not expose the product to impacts.
WARNING!
Non-permissible load!
If the permissible load is exceeded, leakages may occur at the connection between
the terminal unit and the gas probe.
In accordance with DIN EN ISO 9170-1, the overall weight of the product and
accessories may not exceed 2 kg.
WARNING!
Foaming!
Foam may be created when extracting secretion. Foam is detrimental to the
functioning of the mechanical overflow protection. This raises the risk that secretion
may penetrate the product and cause it to break down.
Use an ordinary foam inhibitor.
WARNING!
Measuring accuracy / oversuction!
The product may only be operated in a vertical position.
WARNING!
Backflow of aspirated secretion!
In the event of oversuction, the aspirated secretion may flow back to the patient if
there is secretion still left in the suction tube.
Before replacing the septic fluid jar in the event of oversuction or switching off the
vacuum, always remove the tube from the patient first.
WARNING!
Risk of injury!
Immediately replace the hydrophobic bacterial and viral filter if it is discoloured,
contaminated or oversucked.
Furthermore, the filter must be changed if the vacuum displayed is above -0.3 bar /
-30 kPa when the vacuum controller is in the ‘max’ position and the suction tube is
open.
