rear), especially on inclined surfaces.

Establishing the gas supply

WARNING
Risk due to gas supply failure
All gas supplies (central gas supply, gas
cylinders) must be correctly connected since
otherwise the backup system (gas cylinders)
will not be available if gas supply fails.
– Make sure that all compressed gas hoses
are correctly connected to the rear side of
the device.
– After connecting the gas supply, check for
correct function.
– Even when the anesthesia machine is
connected to the central gas supply, the
gas cylinders should remain at the device
with valves closed as backup.
WARNING
Risk of device malfunction
Gas supply (central gas supply or gas
cylinders): To avoid damage to devices
connected to the gas supply, only use
medical gases. In particular, observe the
national and international standards
regarding the use of medical gases.
Instructions for use Perseus A500 SW 2.0n

Visual inspection after transport

1 Visually check the medical device for damage,
particularly the hoses and cables.
2 Any damage must be repaired by service
personnel before using the device.
WARNING
Risk due to failure of central gas supply
If the central gas supply fails, additional
devices such as such devices which are
connected to the gas outlets on the device,
will no longer be supplied with gas. The
device will be supplied from the gas
cylinders.
When using such additional devices, always
monitor the gas supply independently of the
main device.
WARNING
Danger to the patient and user
The device may be damaged if the strain relief
of the compressed gas hoses is not used
correctly.
Use the strain relief of the compressed gas
hoses correctly.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Ignition sources in combination with oxygen
can lead to fires.
Do not position oxygen sources in the vicinity
of ignition sources, e.g., electrical
connectors.
