Safety instructions
•
It is essential to wash your hands before working
on the oxygen supply.
•
Smoking and naked flames are strictly prohibited
in the vicinity of fittings which carry oxygen.
•
During assembly and when changing cylinders,
tighten all screwed connections on the oxygen
supply and on the pressure reducer only by
hand. Under no circumstances may you use
tools. Excessive tightening damages the threads
and seals and then leads to leaks.
•
Secure oxygen cylinders so they cannot tip over.
If the cylinder falls on the pressure reducer or the
valve, these could be torn off, triggering a
violent explosion.
•
Ensure that the respiratory gas is adequately
temperature-controlled. Excessively warm or
cold gas may harm the patient. Please also
observe the permitted ambient conditions (see
"16. Technical data" on page 57).
•
Always open the cylinder valve slowly to prevent
hammering on the fittings.
•
Do not empty cylinders completely, otherwise
damp ambient air may penetrate and lead to
corrosion.
Inhalation
•
If you use WEINMANN Emergency inhalation
masks, a dangerous rise in pressure is not
possible.
•
However, please ensure that the exhaled
respiratory gas can flow away freely.
Aspiration
•
Use the Suction MODULE and the Combi
MODULE only if you are medically trained and
