The upper shelf weight limit is 45 kg (100 lb).
Do not leave gas cylinder valves open if the pipeline supply is in use.
Cylinder supplies could be depleted, leaving an insufficient reserve
supply in case of pipeline failure
Before testing the system, ensure that:
• The equipment is not damaged.
• Components are correctly attached.
• The breathing circuit is correctly connected, not damaged.
• Pipeline gas supplies are connected.
• Cylinder valves are closed.
• Models with cylinder supplies have a cylinder wrench attached to the
system.
• Models with cylinder supplies have a reserve supply of O
the machine during system checkout.
• The casters are not loose and the brakes are set and prevent movement.
• The power cord is connected to a wall outlet. The mains indicator comes
on when AC Power is connected.
The Leak < 250 ml setting is used during the circuit leak check portion of the
checkout procedures. This check tests for leaks in the machine, breathing
circuit, patient circuit, and manual bag. The default setting is No.
Note Extraction of gas by external gas monitors may cause failure of the leak checks
during tests.
When No is selected, the leak test will pass for leaks below 250 ml at 3 kPa
(30 cmH O) pressure with no user interaction required. For leaks between
2
250 ml and 750 ml, the user can fix the leak and rerun the test or accept the
leak and continue. For leaks above 750 ml, the test will fail and the user must
fix the leak and rerun the test.
Set to Yes to quantify small leaks above 100 ml during the checkout
procedures. Selecting Yes will display the measured leak at 3 kPa (30
cmH O) pressure and result in the test taking somewhat longer.
