Chapter 2: Installing the System: Choosing a location for the system
The Vevo Compact Anesthesia System must be situated in an
environment that ensures maximum safety for the operator and for
others working in the building. Consider these guidelines as you
determine the location for the system.
Ensure adequate air flow and ventilation to prevent anesthesia from
being inhaled by anyone other than the intended subjects. This is a vital
requirement. Check with your jurisdiction's occupational health and
safety authorities to determine required levels of air flow and ventilation.
Oxygen tanks should be adequately restrained to prevent damage to the
regulators, especially due to the highly pressurized nature of the
cylinders. Custom carriers are available for E-cylinders. H-cylinders
should be chained in place.
When you have unpacked the items (and assembled the cart legs if you
ordered the mobile configuration), the installation procedure follows the
same three steps for each configuration:
Assemble the delivery sub-system.
1.
Connect the delivery sub-system to the vaporizer sub-system.
2.
Connect the oxygen supply to the vaporizer sub-system.
3.
The delivery sub-system manages the delivery and evacuation of
anesthesia to the two breathing circuits. Assembling the delivery sub-
system takes approximately five to ten minutes to complete. A completed
delivery sub-system is shown below.
