8.0 Cleaning / Disinfection
● The complete surface of the hose rewind, the trolley and the
device support must always be cleaned with a damp (not wet)
cloth and disinfected with a surface disinfectant stated
on page 14 prior to use the device in another patient.
● In case the device is used in one patient only the device sur-
face should be cleaned if it is contaminated however at least
once every week with a damp (not wet) cloth and afterwards be
disinfected with a surface disinfectant stated on page 14.
8.2 Oversuction
When is a suction unit oversucked?
A suction device is oversucked if suction material penetrated into
the interior of the device.
How can one realise that the suction device is contaminated?
Generally a reduced suction capacity is a sign of possible oversuction.
The ATMOS C 161 / C 261 Aspirator have a condensate collector at
the bottom of the device. For visual inspection please remove the
cap. The device is oversucked if humidity or contamination is visible
in the condensate collector.
Measures
Thedevicemustbereprocessedbythemanufactureroracertied
ATMOS partner if the device is oversucked or if any reservations exist
regarding the hygiene condition.
A contaminated suction device bears a risk for the patient as well as
for the caregiver. Therefore, we recommend regular checking of the
condensate collector.
