1.2 Function
The ATMOS A / C 161 / 261 Aspirator is a very handy small suction unit.
It is driven by an electromotive, maintenance-free swing piston pump.
During operation, the pump generates a vacuum within the hose system
andthecollectioncanister,thussuckingo󰀨secretionsoruids(e.g.by
means of a suction catheter).
Theuidisgatheredinthecollectioncanister.

Valid for ATMOS A / C 161 / 261 Aspirator / DDS:
The reusable secretion canister is connected to the pump housing via
direct-docking, without any pedestrian hose system. Only the suction
hose has to be plugged in by the user.
Abacteriallter,locatedinthelidofthesecretioncanister,avoidsente-
ring of bacterias and liquids into the pump interior. A mechanical over-
suction stop integrated in the canister lid additionally avoids accidentally
absorption of secretion into the pump head.
