Atmos Medizintechnik MEDAP BORA 2080
Atmos Medizintechnik · Model MEDAP BORA 2080
Surgical Suction Device The MEDAP BORA UP 2080 is an all-round talent for hospitals, clinics, and doctor’s practices. It meets the most diverse requirements in the OR and in intensive care units. The space-saving, easily portable universal aspirator evacuates large quantities of blood and serous fluids quickly and reliably. The MEDAP BORA UP 2080 can be mounted on a trolley, the platform of a ceiling supply unit, or an equipment rail.
Key tips
- ·Always leak-test under load - a regulator that reads correctly at rest can still leak and fail in real use.
- ·Canister and tubing changes are an infection-control issue as much as a mechanical one.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Low or no suction
HighSymptoms: Weak or no vacuum at the patient port, slow to pull down, will not reach rated vacuum.
Root cause: Worn pump diaphragm / vanes, an air leak in the lid / tubing / overflow float, or a blocked filter.
Overflow / hydrophobic-filter blockage
MediumSymptoms: Suction drops suddenly, fluid near the pump, filter wet.
Root cause: Overflow shut-off triggered or a saturated / clogged bacteria filter.
Motor / pump fault
MediumSymptoms: Pump noisy, hot, runs slow, or trips its thermal cut-out.
Root cause: Worn motor bearings or pump head.
Battery will not hold charge (portable)
MediumSymptoms: Short run time, will not power on off mains.
Root cause: Aged battery.
Vacuum gauge / regulator fault
LowSymptoms: Gauge inaccurate or vacuum will not regulate.
Root cause: Gauge or regulator wear.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Regulator calibration and leak check
- ·Canister / tubing replacement
- ·Annual full PM
Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Low or no suction
- Fit a fresh bacteria / hydrophobic filter and confirm the collection-jar lid and seals are intact and seated.
- Cap the patient port and measure the vacuum the pump can pull against a gauge.
- Check the tubing and the overflow float for leaks or a stuck shut-off.
- Rebuild the pump with the diaphragm / vane kit.
- Re-verify the rated vacuum and flow.
Symptom: Suction drops suddenly / fluid near the pump
- Check the overflow shut-off has not triggered and the float is free.
- Replace a saturated hydrophobic / bacteria filter.
- Inspect the jar and lid for a crack.
- Dry out any fluid that reached the pump and check the diaphragm.
- Confirm the overflow protection works before returning to service.
Symptom: Pump noisy / hot / trips its thermal cut-out
- Inspect the pump head and motor for wear.
- Confirm the cooling path is clear.
- Rebuild or replace the pump head.
- Check the regulator and gauge.
- Verify vacuum, flow and noise level after repair.
Symptom: Vacuum will not regulate / gauge inaccurate
- Compare the gauge to a calibrated reference at several set points.
- Rebuild the regulator with the diaphragm / valve kit.
- Check the DISS / wall connector seals.
- Replace a damaged gauge.
- Re-verify regulation across the range.
