Dismantling
Disconnect the power plug of the desktop power adapter
from the AC power outlet. Unlock cable connector in the
back of the monitor and detach.
Unscrew sample line from the water trap and T-piece or
wye. Disconnect T-piece and filter from the wye.
The sample line together with T-piece and filter are
disposable parts and can be discarded together with
domestic waste.
Disconnect the hose of the sample gas scavenging line or
sample gas recirculating line from the back of the unit and
remove its other end from the anesthetic gas scavenging
line or from the breathing system.
Replacing/Emptying the WaterLock
Water Trap
— When the level has reached the full mark,
— or in the event of an »Occlusion!« advisory message on the
monitor:
Grip water trap by the ridged surfaces and pull it out of its
holder.
Replace water trap:
— if it is severely fouled,
— if emptying the water trap does not remove the error
message,
— if its maximum operating period of 4 weeks has been
exceeded.
Emptying the water trap:
Connect an empty syringe, without needle, to the port. The
syringe capacity must be at least 20 mL.
Draw off the water. Remove syringe and discard the full
syringe in accordance with local requirements.
Push water trap back into its holder – until it tangibly clicks
into place.
