Introduction 7
1.4 Function
The ATMOS E 341 Battery is a mobile, portable, mains-operated medical device for the
temporary application on adults, children and babies. The device is operated with an
electronically controlled, maintenance-free diaphragm pump.
The pump can be optionally operated by rechargeable battery or via an external DC
voltage source (12 V).
During operation, the pump generates a vacuum within the hose system and secretion
canister, thus suctioning off secretion, blood and body fluids as well as liquid, viscous
and solid pieces of food. The fluid is gathered in the secretion canister.
The predefined vacuum values enable a quick and precise adjustment of the vacuum in
different situations. It can be selected between four different vacuum values (−0.1 bar;
−0.2 bar; −0.5 bar and −0.8 bar). The control panel is illuminated so that you can read
the operating status even in the dark.
An overtemperature stop prevents overheating of the batteries.
DDS secretion canister:
The DDS secretion canister is affixed laterally to the device and is plugged via Direct
Docking onto the suction connection of the support for the DDS canister system.
Therefore, there is no intermediate hose. Now the user can/must only connect the
suction hose. A hydrophobic DDS bacterial and viral filter located in the canister lid
prevents bacteria, viruses and liquids from entering the device.
A mechanical oversuction stop (float ball) is integrated in the canister lid. This prevents
an accidental absorption of secretion into the pump head. The float ball rises to the top
of the secretion until it blocks the outlet.
Disposable secretion canister:
The disposable secretion canister is comprised of an external canister, disposable
suction bag, vacuum hose and the disposable suction hose.
The disposable secretion canister is affixed laterally to the device. The vacuum hose of
the canister is connected to the suction connection of the device. The secretion is trans-
ported to the disposable suction bag via the suction hose. The disposable suction bag
is a single-use product. As soon as the disposable suction bag is full, it is removed from
the external canister and disposed of. The disposable suction bag and the disposable
suction hose must not be reused.
A bacterial filter is integrated in the disposable suction bag. This prevents secretion,
liquid and bacteria from seeping into the device.
1.5 Intended operators

The ATMOS E 341 Battery may only be used by persons who were medically trained,
and were trained in medical suction. Prior to application, the user must be familiar with
the device. Please note the country-specific requirements and regulations.
ATMOS recommends: Instruction on the operation of the device must be performed by
an authorised person.

5.6 Oversuction
If you use the ATMOS E 341 Battery according to instructions with the DDS bacterial
and viral filter and the float ball, the device cannot be oversucked during normal use.
Nevertheless, should secretion penetrate into the interior of the device, the device is
oversucked.
This can happen, for example, if no hydrophobic DDS bacterial and viral filter is used
and the device tips over.
Reduced suction capacity is an indication for an oversucked device. If you suspect that
your device might be oversucked, proceed as follows:
WARNING
Risk of infection due to secretion on and within the device.
• Always wear disposable gloves when touching the oversucked device.
• Clean and disinfect the device.
• Send in the device to ATMOS or an authorised ATMOS service partner, chapter “6.3

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, as
determined by an electromagnetic site (a)
survey, should be less than the compliance
level (b).
Interference may occur in the vicinity of
equipment bearing the following symbol:
NOTE 1
With 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2
These guidelines may not be applicable in all cases. The emanation of electromagnetic waves is affected by
absorption and reflection of buildings, objects and people.
a
The field strength of stationary transmitters, such as base stations of cellular phones and mobile terrain
radio equipment, amateur radio transmitters, cbm broadcast and TV stations cannot be predetermined
exactly.
To determine the electromagnetic environment in regard to stationary transmitters, a study of the location
is to be considered. If the field strength measured at the location where the ATMOS E 341 Battery is used
exceeds the above compliance level, the ATMOS E 341 Battery is to be observed to verify the intended
function. If abnormal performance characteristics are noted, additional measures may be necessary, such
as reorienting or relocating the ATMOS E 341 Battery.
b
Within the frequency range of 150 kHz to 80 MHz, the field strength should be below 3 V/m.
The ATMOS E 341 Battery may not be used directly next to other devices or piled up with other devices. If
operation next to or piled with other devices is necessary, please watch the device to check its intended
operation in this arrangement.
Recommended separations between portable and mobile RF

communications equipment and the ATMOS E 341 Battery
The ATMOS E 341 Battery is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated
disturbances are controlled. The customer or user of the ATMOS E 341 Battery can help prevent electro-
magnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communi-
cations equipment (transmitters) and the ATMOS E 341 Battery as recommended below, according to the
maximum output power of the communications equipment.
