& If the device is still being used by the same patient, the surface should still be
cleaned at least once every week with a damp (not wet) cloth, and afterwards be

5.2 Oversuction
When is a suction device oversuctioned?
A suction device is oversuctioned if suction material has penetrated into the interior of
the device.
How can I see whether my suction device is oversuctioned?
Reduced suction capacity is usually a sign of potential oversuction. The ATMOS C 161
Aspirator, ATMOS C 261 Aspirator or ATMOS C 161 Battery also has a condensate
collector at the bottom of the device. Please remove the cover cap when performing a
visual inspection. The device is oversuctioned and contaminated if humidity or contami-
nation is visible in the condensate collector.
