Chapter 2: Installing the System: Connecting the oxygen supply to the vaporizer sub-system
In the mobile configuration, the common outlet is located on the main panel, below and to
the right of the vaporizer unit.
This is the final assembly step. If your facility provides a regulated central
oxygen supply, the procedure will take about two minutes. If your
facility provides cylinders of compressed oxygen, you will need to
connect the appropriate VisualSonics' factory pre-set regulator to ensure
a constant 55psi oxygen flow from the tank to the compact anesthesia
system. This adds a few minutes to the procedure.
Typically, a facility with a central
oxygen supply maintains a very large
tank of compressed oxygen situated
next to the building. Regulators at the
tank lower the pressure to a safe level
for distribution through the facility.
The regulated oxygen is then piped
through the facility and made available through DISS connections in
various rooms and laboratories.
To connect the oxygen supply to the vaporizer sub-system:
Turn the fitting of one end of the green oxygen hose clockwise over
1.
the DISS connection on the oxygen supply as shown below.
Tighten the hose fitting gently with an 11/16" wrench while you hold the DISS fitting
motionless with a 5/8" wrench.
