Operation Changing Patients WARNING! As it is possible that Fabius GS premium devices within a care area have different site default alarm limit configurations, check whether the pre-set alarm limits are appropri- ate to the new patient. Also check that the alarm system has not been rendered useless by setting the alarm limits to extreme values.
2.5 minutes after fresh gas is turned off. Close the cylinder valves. When Fabius GS premium is not in use If Fabius GS premium is not used for an extended period: Unplug the medical gas hoses from the wall supply points of the central gas supply.
