EICKEMEYER ® NarkoVet Manual 4 Operation of the Pendulum System (Bain Circuit) The Bain Circuit supplements the basic unit perfectly for anesthaesia of smaller patients. It contains no breathing valves. The anesthetic gas is transported directly from the evaporator via the fresh gas pipe to the patient. This ensures quicker wash-in and wash-out even with a smaller minute volume.
EICKEMEYER ® NarkoVet Manual 5 Preparing the Device before Anesthaesia Check the oxygen supply (pressure and access to sufficient oxygen). Connect patient tube and breathing bag to the anesthesia machine and close the pressure relief valve. Keep your thumb on the patient's end of the tube and inflate the breathing bag via the Oxygen bypass until the breathing bag is bulging.
Once a year, the evaporator should be subjected to a technical inspection to ensure proper functioning. In this case, please contact the EICKEMEYER® Customer Service. Precautions for handling Isoflurane: Isoflurane is a highly volatile anaesthetic. Therefore, when used in closed spaces ensure that a suction tube is properly connected to the pressure relief valve or the Bain Circuit.
