Safety Precautions During Maintenance Or Repair - BeaconMedaes dMED 7 Instruction Book

Instruction book
• All hoses and/or pipes inside the machine are in good condition, secure and not rubbing
• There are no leaks
• All fasteners are tight
• All electrical leads are secure and in good order
• Safety valves and other pressure-relief devices are not obstructed by dirt or paint
• Air outlet valve and air net, i.e. pipes, couplings, manifolds, valves, hoses, etc. are in good condition,
free of wear or abuse
9. Do not remove any of, or tamper with, the sound-dampening material.
10. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, guards or insulations fitted on the machine. Every pressure
vessel or auxiliary installed outside the machine to contain air above atmospheric pressure shall be
protected by a pressure-relieving device or devices as required. All regulating and safety devices shall be
maintained with due care to ensure that they function properly.
11. To safeguard correct operation of the equipment it is recommended to:
• Monitor the outlet dew point at all occasions.
• When possible, install a CO sensor/monitor with alarms.
• The unit must be installed in a network which complies with the legislation Medical Devices Directive
93/42/EC and with the harmonized standard EN ISO 7396-1.

Safety precautions during maintenance or repair

1. Always use the correct safety equipment (such as safety glasses, gloves, safety shoes, etc.).
2. Use only the correct tools for maintenance and repair work.
During use, it is possible that tools will become contaminated with oil or grease. It is therefore important
that tools are cleaned and degreased following any maintenance operation, especially if the same tools are
subsequently used with an Oxygen System. When the tools come into contact with possible bacteria
contaminated parts (e.g. if the bacterial filters were ruptured), they must be sterilised after completion.
3. Use only genuine spare parts.
4. All maintenance work shall only be undertaken when the machine has cooled down and is depressurized.
5. A warning sign bearing a legend such as "Work in progress - do not start" shall be attached to the starting
equipment.
6. Persons switching on remotely controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to ensure that there
is no one checking or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable notice shall be affixed to the remote
starting equipment.
7. Close the dryer air outlet valve before connecting or disconnecting a pipe.
8. Before removing any pressurized component, effectively isolate the machine from all sources of pressure
and relieve the entire system of pressure. Before disconnecting any piping, pneumatically isolate the
section and slowly bring the pressure to atmospheric pressure. Do not suddenly open any isolating valve
that may cause rapid evacuation of any section that may be at high pressure. Open valves slowly and allow
sufficient time for the pressure to stabilise.
9. Never use flammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride for cleaning parts. Take safety precautions against
toxic vapours of cleaning liquids.
10. Scrupulously observe cleanliness during maintenance and repair. Keep dirt away by covering the parts
and exposed openings with a clean cloth, paper or tape.
