Important notes
In the application area of medical suction devices, the vacuum is normally quoted as the
difference (in absolute figures) between the absolute pressure and the atmospheric pres-
sure or as negative values in kilopascals (kPa). The indication, e.g. of -10 kPa, in this
document therefore always refers to a pressure level in kPa below the ambient atmos-
pheric pressure.
