Unrecordable<br />

progression of healing<br />

The progression of healing cannot<br />

be recorded continuously, since<br />

x-rays only make intermittent<br />

images possible. Bubble formation<br />

in <strong>the</strong> water lock is not a reliable<br />

indicator of <strong>the</strong> patient status and<br />

cannot be traced at a later time.<br />

Risky siphon effect<br />

-20 mbar<br />

at <strong>the</strong> unit<br />

In all drainage systems which are<br />

available on <strong>the</strong> market, <strong>the</strong> siphon<br />

effect is not excluded. Caused<br />

by sagging drainage tubes, <strong>the</strong><br />

vacuum parameter at <strong>the</strong> patient<br />

drops unnoticed. This can cause<br />

<strong>the</strong> lungs to collapse again.<br />

Insufficient alarm<br />

function<br />

Today’s systems usually do not<br />

have a sufficient alarm function.<br />

None can be connected to <strong>the</strong><br />

nurse call system. This means<br />

that critical situations often remain<br />

unnoticed.<br />

Monitoring <strong>the</strong><br />

Direct vacuum measurement<br />

and continuous monitoring<br />

Secure alarm<br />

signalling<br />

Via an integrated SD card, <strong>the</strong><br />

stored data can be output in Excel<br />

format and assigned to <strong>the</strong> patient<br />

file. This makes it possible to<br />

trace <strong>the</strong> progression of treatment<br />

at any later time as well.<br />

(only <strong>the</strong> <strong>ATMOS</strong> S201 Thorax)<br />

-20 mbar<br />

-20 mbar<br />

at <strong>the</strong> unit<br />

Through <strong>the</strong> <strong>ATMOS</strong> measuring<br />

tube system, <strong>the</strong> vacuum<br />

parameter is measured directly<br />

at <strong>the</strong> patient and not just at <strong>the</strong><br />

vacuum source. The siphon effect<br />

is excluded, since <strong>the</strong> <strong>ATMOS</strong><br />

drainage system constantly<br />

monitors <strong>the</strong> set parameter and<br />

automatically balances changes in<br />

<strong>the</strong> status.<br />

The alarm function of <strong>the</strong> <strong>ATMOS</strong><br />

S/E 201 Thorax is laid out so that<br />

<strong>the</strong> alarm is easily recognised<br />

and heard in <strong>the</strong> noisy<br />

environment. A potential-free<br />

contact can be used to connect a<br />

nurse call system.<br />
