Hose rinsing system
(option)
After use, the suction system has to be rinsed by means
of the hose rinsing system.
• Insert the suction attachment into the white rinsing
attachment of the hose rinsing system. Press the
rinsing insert in and rinse the hose for a few seconds.
This procedure will prevent the hoses and suction
cannulae from clogging up.
The tank for the rinsing fl uid of the hose rinsing is located
in the service compartment at the front of the unit. For
optimum cleaning, add the ATMOS special cleanser
(Art.No. 080.0005.0) to the rinsing liquid. The tank may,
optionally, be automatically fi lled up with fresh water. Water
supply is then controlled by a level switch. A safety switch
in the tank holder next to the tank prevents the fi lling if the
tank is missing.
The suction attachment of the hose rinsing system
may be contaminated. Therefore, it must be cleaned
and disinfected
daily

Kidney-shaped rinsing basin
(option)
Purpose:
•
The basin receives the water that returns from rinsing
procedures of the ear and the maxillary sinus.
Remove the basin from its support and hold it under the
ear to be rinsed.
After use, we recommend to activate the rinsing system.
To do so, press the key on the unit; a time mechanism will
then start the rinsing procedure (for abt. 10 sec.).
The rinsing basin is not suited to collect large water
quantities, e. g. when evacuating a pail, as water might
overrun the interior of the unit!
