ATMOS S 61 Servant the

Cleaning and
care of suction devices
General information
Please excercise special care whilst
handling the device! As it is essential
to avoid transmission of germs and illness,
the suction device may be solely
used by one patient.
Please observe the recommendations
from ATMOS and you will have a faultless
medical product with a long service
life!
Please observe the following:
A daily visual inspection of the device
is esential.
Always operate the suction device
in accordance with the operating
instructions. There you will also find
useful hints on cleaning and care.
Only use disinfectant solutions recommended
by ATMOS.
Before cleaning the device, make
sure the power supply is interrupted
(Unplug the device!).
Advice for cleaning
Prior to cleaning please observe the
information and recommendation stated
in the relevant operating instructions!
Secretion container and
Secretion container lid
Please empty the secretion container
after each use, rinse it thoroughly with
warm water and clean it with washingup
liquid. Tenacious contaminations can
be removed with a clean brush. ATMOS
recommends daily disinfection!
External casing
After each use, wipe the external
casing with a clean damp cloth. We
recommend disinfection of the external
casing at least once a week.
Bacterial filter
The bacterial filter prevents bacteria and
liquids from seeping into the device.
Therefore, make sure the device is operated
only with an original ATMOS bacterial
filter! Exchange the bacterial filter at least
once a week. Immediate change is
necessary if it becomes wet or dirty or
when the device is used for an other
patient.
Fingertip
The fingertip connects the suction hose
with the sterile suction catheter. After
each use it must be rinsed with clear
water. For hygienic reasons we recommend
a change every
2 to 3 days.
Suction hose
The suction hose must be rinsed at least
once a day with one of the recommended
disinfection liquids. In addition the hose
must be rinsed thorouthly with clear water
after each suction process.
With frequent use the hoses may become
discoloured and get porous therefore
ATMOS recommends changing them
every 4 weeks.
If you follow these recommendations an
ATMOS suction device will remain
a reliable and hygienically impeccable aid
for ambulant, stationary and home care
for many years.
Important information:
In the case of use with another
patient it is regulated by law to reprocess
the device before further use.
We are gladly prepared to perform a
professional reprocessing of your suction
devices.
