LC 16 ATMOS: A Compact and High-Performance Medical Suction Device
The ATMOS LC 16 is a suction device designed for medical environments to remove secretions and bodily fluids. Engineered for hospital and ambulatory use, it is particularly valued in intensive care units, clinics, nursing homes, home care settings, and military medical interventions.
This device operates using an electromotor-driven oscillating piston pump, which requires no maintenance and creates a powerful vacuum in the tubing circuit and collection jar. This technology effectively aspirates secretions through a suction catheter, ensuring optimal drainage of the patient's airways. With its integrated filtration system, the LC 16 prevents bacteria and liquids from entering the motor, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
One of the major advantages of this apparatus is its precise vacuum adjustment, allowing healthcare professionals to tailor the suction power to clinical needs. The integrated manometer facilitates pressure control, while the safety valve protects against overload risks. The unit also features an automatic thermal cut-off system that prevents overheating and ensures extended motor longevity.
In terms of design, the LC 16 combines compactness and ergonomics, making it easy to transport and store. Its robust and lightweight casing allows for easy handling, especially in environments requiring immediate responsiveness, such as emergency services and mobile units. The collection jar is available in various capacities, offering flexibility suited to different usage contexts.
Hygiene and safety are central to the LC 16's operation. The filtration system includes a single-use bacterial filter that prevents the spread of pathogens and ensures clean suction. A mechanical valve integrated into the collection jar lid prevents accidental overflow, avoiding unwanted contamination.
The device is designed to accommodate various accessories and mounting options, such as wall brackets or mobile carts, facilitating its integration into different medical environments. Its compatibility with various types of collection jars, made of glass or TPX plastic, provides great versatility and optimal comfort for healthcare providers.
The ATMOS LC 16 is a reliable and functional suction apparatus designed to meet the demands of healthcare professionals. Its performance, ease of use, and safety features make it a preferred choice for medical facilities seeking an effective solution for bodily fluid suction.
