Definition of vacuum

By the application of medical aspiration devices, vacuum is normally given as the difference
(in absolute figures) between absolute pressure and atmospheric pressure or as negative val-
ues in Kilopascal (kPa). In this document, the indication of -10 kPa for example always refers
to a pressure range in kPa below atmospheric ambient pressure (according to EN ISO
10079:1999).
