Inspect the System Make sure that: The anesthesia machine is undamaged. All components are correctly attached. The breathing system is correctly connected, and the breathing tubes are undamaged. The vaporizers are locked in position and contain suffi cient agent. The gas supplies are connected and the pressures are correct. Cylinder valves are closed on models with cylinder supplies.
Preoperative Test Test Intervals Perform the preoperative tests listed below at these events: 1.Before each patient. 2.When required after a maintenance or service procedure. The following table indicates when a test must be done. Test Item Test Intervals Pipeline tests Cylinder tests Every day before the fi...

Mechanical Ventilation Mode Ventilation Mode Make sure that the system is Standby. Set the appropriate Plimit value in the parameter setup shortcut keys area. Check the ACGO switch to make sure that it is OFF . Set the bag/mechanical ventilation switch to the position.
Mechanical Ventilation Mode Stop Mechanical Ventilation Make sure that the APL valve is set properly before stopping mechanical ventilation. The APL valve adjusts the breathing system pressure limit during manual ventilation. Its scale shows approximate pressure. Set the bag/mechanical ventilation switch to the position.
Cleaning and Disinfection WARNING : Obey applicable safety precautions. Read the material safety data sheet for each cleaning agent. Read the operation and service manual for all disinfection equipment. Wear gloves and safety glasses. A damaged O2 sensor can leak and cause burns (contains potassium hydroxide).

Cleaning and Disinfection Clean and Disinfect the Anesthesia Machine Housing Clean the surface of the anesthesia machine housing with a damp cloth soaked in mild detergent (such as 70% ethanol). After cleaning the housing, remove the remaining detergent by wiping with a dry lint free cloth.
Cleaning and Disinfection Breathing Tubes and Y Piece Remove the filter from the Y piece. Disconnect the breathing tubes from the inspiration/expiration connectors on the breathing system. WARNING : When installing the breathing tube, hold the tube connector at both ends of the tube to prevent damage of the tube.

Pull up the locking catches on the breathing system adapter with the other hand to unlock it.
Maintenance Do not use malfunctioning anesthesia machine. Have all repairs and service done by an authorized service representative. Replacement and maintenance of tube parts listed in this manual may be undertaken by a competent, trained individual having experience in the repair of devices of this nature. After repair, test the anesthesia machine to ensure that it is functioning properly, in accordance with the specifi...
Maintenance NOTE : These schedules are the minimum frequency based on typical usage of 2000 hours per year. You should service the equipment more frequently if you use it more than the typical yearly usage. Maintenance Schedule: Minimum Maintenance frequency Clean the external surfaces.
Flow Sensor Calibration NOTE : Do not perform calibration while the unit is connected to a patient. During calibration, do not operate the pneumatic parts. Do not move or press the breathing tubes especially. During calibration, the drive gas pressure must be kept above 0.3 MPa. Otherwise calibration failure may result.
