10 2 Safety notes Basic requirements 2 Safety notes WARNING! Risk of injury! ATMOS products may be used only if they are in perfect working order. Check to ensure that the ATMOS product is fully functional and in good working order prior to use. WARNING! Infection hazard! Contaminated components may endanger the health of the staff and the patients. Ensure the product is prepared as per hygiene standards before using it for the first time. 10

11 Initial operation General 3 3 Initial operation 3.1 General DANGER! Functional check! The product is used in the treatment of patients. Any restriction in the unit's performance can result in serious complications in treatment. Perform a complete functional check every time before using the unit. DANGER! Infection hazard due to oversuction! To avoid the ingress of fluid or foam into the product or the vacuum source, a hydrophobic bacterial filter must be used. If secretions enter into the insides of the unit, the product must immediately be taken out of operation. Clean and disinfect the product and have it repaired by a service technician authorised by ATMOS to do so. DANGER! Infection hazard due to contamination! To avoid the ingress of fluid or foam into the product or the vacuum source, a hydrophobic bacterial filter must be used. If bacteria or viruses enter into the inside of the unit, the product must immediately be taken out of operation. Clean and disinfect the product and have it repaired by a service technician authorised by ATMOS to do so. WARNING! Infection hazard! Contaminated components may endanger the health of the staff and the patients. Ensure the product is prepared as per hygiene standards before using it for the first time. WARNING! Foaming! Foam may be created when extracting secretion. Foam may impair the function of the overflow protection device. Use a standard commercial foam inhibitor. CAUTION! Property damage! Proper functioning of the mechanical overflow protection is only assured with the product in upright position. Place the product in upright position during operation. When using a trolley the castors shall be locked during operation. NOTE Connecting several septic fluid jars in series can cause delayed suction effect and reduced suction power. 11

12 3 Initial operation Inserting cap plug NOTE Before mounting ensure that the gasket is inserted in the housing and not damaged. NOTE Select accessory for the suction set in accordance with the application, e. g. diameter of the tube, size of the connector of the septic fluid jar cap. 3.2 Inserting cap plug 1 Inserting cap plug Insert cap plug (1). 99 Suction set is ready for use. Mounting tubes. Fig. 2: Inserting cap plug 3.3 Mounting tubes Attach the connection tube (1) to straight connector (2) of the cap plug. Attach the other end of the connection tube to the overflow protection system, bacterial filter or vacuum source. Attach suction tube (3) to the second connector (4) of the cap plug. Fig. 3: Mounting tubes 12

13 Operation Prior to use 4 4 Operation 4.1 Prior to use Check all functions of the product before using it. Ensure that when using a cap plug, the cap plug is firmly seated in the housing; the tube connectors are firmly seated and tight; no mechanical forces are acting on the tubes; components made of plastic and rubber are in good condition and do not exhibit any deterioration due to aging; 4.2 Suction process when using a cap plug If a septic fluid jar is filled up to the "maximum marker, suction can be continued by connecting the cap plug to a second septic fluid jar. Replug the cap plug (1) with the tubes from the first into the second septic fluid jar cap. Aspiration may be continued. 1 Fig. 4: Replugging the cap plug 13

15 Cleaning and disinfection General 5 5 Cleaning and disinfection 5.1 General WARNING! Infection hazard! Any and all the parts of the product could be contaminated. Wear gloves and be absolutely sure to follow the hygiene rules during all cleaning and reconditioning work. CAUTION! Improper cleaning can cause property damage! Use only as much cleaning agent or liquid as is absolutely necessary and use a damp cloth to remove any excess cleaning agents and liquid. WARNING! Infection hazard! Particles of grime can become encapsulated and result in components not being sterile after disinfection. That is why all components have to be thoroughly cleaned prior to disinfection and stubborn dirt removed with a cloth and suitable cleaning agent. CAUTION! Improper cleaning can cause property damage! Abrasive cleaners will damage the surfaces. Use only all-purpose cleaners which are slightly alkaline (soap solution) and contain tensides and phosphates as the active cleaning agents. NOTE The parts will have to be cleaned and dried prior to disinfection. NOTE Be absolutely sure to follow the instructions for use provided by the manufacturer of the cleaning and disinfectant agent. NOTE The product can be reused after cleaning and disinfection. NOTE The suction sets are not used sterile. 15

16 5 Cleaning and disinfection Disinfection Cleaning NOTE In case the product is very dirty, carry out prior disinfection procedure before cleaning the product. Wipe product and components thoroughly with a slightly moistened cloth using an allpurpose cleaning agent in solution. Remove encapsulated residues by rubbing vigorously. Wipe product and components thoroughly with a cloth slightly moistened with water. Dry product and components immediately. 99This will help to inhibit pathogen growth on the product's surface. Wipe disinfect the product after every cleaning process. 5.2 Disinfection WARNING! Risk of injury! Disinfectants may contain substances hazardous to health, which may cause injuries on contact with skin and eyes. Protect the skin and eyes and observe the hygiene rules when working with disinfectants. WARNING! Functional failure! Check the unit's components for proper functioning after each cleaning or disinfection procedure. CAUTION! Property damage resulting from improper handling! Be absolutely sure to follow the instructions for use provided by the manufacturer of the disinfectant. NOTE Using drapes which are not colourfast can cause discolouration in plastic components. 16

17 Cleaning and disinfection Disinfection 5 CAUTION! Property damage! If used over an extended period of time, alcohol-based disinfectants can damage surfaces and accessories. Disinfectant agents which have been approved for use: Use only instrument and surface disinfectants with the following combinations of active ingredients: Aldehydes Quarternary compounds or Guanidine derivatives. Disinfectants which are not approved for use: Pure hand disinfectants, since these usually contain alcohol or compounds of alcohol Disinfectants containing alcohol, since alcohol applied in excess (i.e. accumulations of liquids containing alcohol remaining on the surface for more than about 5 minutes) can damage the surface. Aldehydes, quaternary compounds and guanidine derivatives will not attack surfaces and will pass recurring hygiene inspections. Thanks to the markedly longer evaporation period and extended residence of the disinfectant agent on the surface, germicidal effect beyond 95 % is achieved within a few minutes, provided that coarse soiling is removed beforehand. Please refer to the following list for information on active ingredients. Ingredient group Aldehydes Quarternary compounds Guanidine derivatives Tab. 5: Active ingredients Active ingredients in disinfectants 2-ethyl-1-hexanal, formaldehyde, glutardialdehyde, glyoxal, o-phthaldialdehyde, succinaldehyde Alkyl-didecyl-polyoxethyl ammonium propionate, alkyl-dimethylalkylbenzyl ammonium chloride, alkyl-dimethyl-ethyl ammonium chloride, alkyl-dimethyl-ethylbenzyl ammonium chloride, benzalkonium propionate, benzalkonium chloride (alkyl-dimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride, coco-dimethyl-benzyl ammonium chloride, lauryl-dimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride, myristyldimethyl-benzyl ammonium chloride), benzethonium chloride, benzyl-dihydroxyethyl-coco-alkyl ammonium chloride, dialkyldimethyl ammonium chloride (didecyldimethyl ammonium chloride), didecyl-methyl-oxyethyl ammonium propionate, mecetronium-ethyl sulfate, methyl-benzethonium chloride, n-octyl-dimethyl-benzyl ammonium chloride Alkyl-biguanide, chlorhexidine-digluconate, cocospropylenediamine guanidinium diacetate, oliogomeric biguanide, polyhexamethylene biguanide hydrochloride (oligo-diimino imiodocarbonyl imino-hexamethylene, polyhexanide) 17
