Turning off the device

Dräger recommends shutting down Perseus
during longer periods of non-use such as overnight
or on weekends. This can lower power
consumption and prolong the life span of the
medical device without negatively influencing
device availability.
When shutting down the device, several functions
are available to the user.

Programming the system test (Auto On
option)
Using the Auto On function, the device can be
programmed so that it performs an automatic
system test and is tested at a specific time.
During the initialization, the Auto On function
checks the components that frequently cause
irregularities: e.g., high leakage, incorrect setting
of APL valve. After that, the device remains in the
Standby mode until the automatic system test, or
it is shut down.
1 Press the button.
2 Touch the Auto On preparation button.
3 Prepare the device in accordance with the
instructions on the screen. For details on the
test steps, see page 126.
4 Set the desired day and time when the device
should next be ready for operation.
5 Select whether the device should remain in
Standby mode or shut down.
6 Touch the Start button.
7 Take note of any messages that appear.
After the Auto On initialization is complete, the time
remaining until the system test is displayed in the
Standby mode. When the device is being shut
down, the corresponding symbol is shown in the
status display, see page 31.
For a final test of the operational readiness of the
device, it is only necessary to perform some brief
manual checks after the automatic system test.
