To prepare the Mindray WATO EX-55Pro anesthesia machine for suspected malignant hyperthermia:
1. Disconnect all pipeline and cylinder gas supplies. 2. Prepare necessary tools for disassembly. 3. Move the machine to a proper location and apply the brake. 4. Wear special gloves due to possible internal contamination. 5. Bleed gas pressure: - Close other cylinder valves and disconnect all pipeline gas supplies except O₂. - If no O₂ pipeline is available, connect and open the O₂ cylinder. - Turn the system switch ON. - Open all flow controls except O₂. - Ensure N₂O and AIR gauges read zero. - Disconnect the O₂ pipeline (or close the O₂ cylinder valve). - Press the O₂ flush button to bleed remaining O₂. - Turn the system switch OFF. 6. Follow disassembly procedures to clean or replace components as needed.
These steps ensure removal of residual anesthetic gases that may trigger malignant hyperthermia.
