ATMOS® C 161: A Versatile Suction Device for the Medical Sector
The ATMOS® C 161 is a suction unit designed to meet the needs of healthcare professionals in evacuating bodily secretions. This device is particularly suited for interventions in hospital settings, medical practices, or home care, especially for the suction of the upper respiratory tract (mouth, nose, throat, bronchial system). With its high-performance suction system, it ensures effective removal of secretions, thereby contributing to patient comfort and safety.
The ATMOS® C 161 operates using an electromotor-driven piston pump that requires no specific maintenance. By generating a controlled vacuum, it allows the aspiration of secretions via a sterile suction catheter. The liquid is then collected in a secretion jar compatible with several systems: DDS 1L, Receptal® 1.5L, Medi-Vac® 1L, and Serres® 1L. This flexibility enables professionals to choose the best solution based on the volume and type of secretions to be managed.
The vacuum regulation system is a major asset of the ATMOS® C 161 Aspirator. Equipped with a precise vacuum meter, it allows for the adjustment of suction according to the practitioner's needs. An anti-overflow safety device is integrated into the secretion jar lid in the form of a floating ball, preventing accidental suction into the pump head. A single-use antibacterial filter located in the jar lid prevents the infiltration of bacteria and liquids into the device, ensuring optimal hygiene.
The device operates on a standard power supply of 230 V~ 50/60 Hz and consumes approximately 170 VA. It is equipped with a 2-meter cable, allowing for easy and secure installation. Its weight of 3.5 kg and compact dimensions (250 x 255 x 180 mm) facilitate transport and positioning in various medical environments. It is recommended to perform a technical inspection every 24 months to ensure its long-term functionality.
The noise level of the device is 50 dB(A) at 1 meter, ensuring quiet operation, ideal for use in ENT consultations or environments where noise must be minimized. The ATMOS® C 161 is also designed to withstand prolonged use with a continuous operating cycle of 45 minutes, followed by a cooling time of approximately 60 minutes depending on the ambient temperature.
Maintenance of the device is simplified thanks to easy-to-clean and replace components. The 1.30-meter silicone suction tube provides good flexibility and comfort for the practitioner. The secretion jar lid, including the replacement antibacterial filter, ensures hygienic and safe use. For users requiring increased mobility, a trolley with wheels is available as an option, facilitating the movement of the unit within a medical environment.
The ATMOS® C 161 Aspirator complies with European medical standards, bearing the CE 0124 marking and classified as IIa according to European Directive 93/42/EEC. It meets the requirements of the EN 60601-1 standard, ensuring a high level of protection for patients and healthcare professionals.
Due to its versatility, reliability, and adaptability to different secretion collection systems, the ATMOS® C 161 is an ideal solution for practitioners seeking a high-performance and easy-to-maintain device.
