1.5.4.1
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 aspiration system.
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 bacterial filter
serves as protection against oversuction; the filter closes off the flow of gas to the product in the
event of oversuction. The products sold by ATMOS (REF 5752 1783) and (REF 5752 4514) are
hydrophobic bacterial and viral filters.
Prerequisites
•
Pore size ≤ 1.0 μm
• Conical tube connector with an outer diameter of 8 to 11 mm
• The tube connector must match the tube being used.
• The conical connector must match the septic fluid jar cap 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).
1.5.4.2
Vacuum connection tube
The vacuum connection tube is used to connect the aspirator and the septic fluid jar.
Technical specifications
• Shore hardness of 60
• Inner diameter of 6–8 mm
• Tube length between aspirator and filter is max. 60 cm ±10 cm
•
Vacuum resistant down to −95 kPa (may not collapse).
Prerequisites
• The vacuum connection tube must comply with the hospital's standards for hygiene.
• The vacuum connection tube must be connected using a hydrophobic bacterial filter.
• The inner 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.
1.5.4.3
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.
Technical specifications
•
Vacuum resistant down to −95 kPa (may not collapse)
