Congratulations
With Thopaz,you have acquired an innovative digital drainage system that has set new stan-
dards for thoracic drainage management.
Thopazis an electronic measuring and monitoring system with optical and acoustical safetyfeatures. The device is adrysystem, which means no fluids arenecessaryfor operation. It has the
capabilityto displaythe course of therapydigitallyand graphically.Upon completion of therapy,
it can be transferred to aPC.
The handysizeand quietness while in operation areother advantages Thopazoffer to the
patients.
ll
Use in accordance with the instructions
Thopazmaintains negative pressureinthe pleural space and collects fluids and/or air.
Thopazis portable and can be operated independent of the mains power source because of
the internal rechargeable battery.The built-in electronics allow you to make the necessary
adjustments and track the effectiveness of therapyduring operation. Acoustical and optical
signals aretriggered byvariances during the course of treatment (XII).
Thopazis intended for use on patients in all stages of the hospital. The unit should onlybe
operated byproperlytrained staff.
Indications
The system is used when negative pressureisrequired in combination with an athoracic drainage catheter.
Contraindications
•Ifanair flow of greater than 5l/min is necessary.Thopazcannot be used.
•Under no circumstances do Medela advise connecting bilateral thoracic drains to asingle
pump. In such cases, the use of two Thopazunits is recommended.
•During in-home use, Medela does not recommend the use of Thopazbypatients who are
visuallyand/or audiblyimpaired.

the system.
Thopazis EMC-tested in conformitywith the requirements of IEC 60601-1-2:2001. It shall be
used in the vicinityof other EMC-tested devices that fulfill the requirements as outlined in the
IEC 60661-1-2 standard. Untested HF sources, radio networks or the like can influence the
operation of the device and should not be operated in the vicinityof Thopaz.
Please read and observe these warnings and safety instructions before operation.
Warnings
•Beforeyou plug the device into the power supply,please verifythe voltage at the local
power supplyis the same as given on the specification plate of Thopaz.
•Data transfer via USB is not possible while the pump is connected to the patient.
•The device is not for use while bathing, showering nor suitable for ahazardous explosive
environment.
•Donot use Thopazin MRT(Magnetic Resonance To mography).
•Donot dryThopazwith microwaves.
Safety instructions
•Thopazmust remain in an upright position during use.
•The patient should be regularlymonitored according to internal hospital guidelines.
•Thopazis amedical device that requires special safetyprecautions and must be installed
and placed in operation in accordance with the attached EMC information. Portable and
mobile RF communication devices (mobile telephones) can affect Thopaz.
•Areplacement device must alwaysbeavailable for patients for whom abreakdown of the
device can lead to acritical situation.
•Innone of the following cases mayThopazbe placed in operation:
−Ifthe power cordorplug is damaged
−Ifthe device is not functioning properly
−Ifthe device is damaged
−Ifthe device has apparent safetydefects
•Keep the power cordawayfrom hot surfaces.
•Keep the AC adapter connector awayfrom moisture.
•Separation from the power supplyoccurs byunplugging the mains adapter.
These instructions for use must be kept for later reference.
