4.1.3 Connecting the Gas Supply
1
Connect the gas supply hose to the gas supply input (T) in Figure 2 of
the e600.
2 Connect the other end of the hose to the pressure outlet of the pressure
regulator or wall outlet of piped medical oxygen system.
3 Turn cylinder valve slowly and fully.
Warning
Extra care must be taken when handling oxygen:
o The e600 must only be used with medical oxygen.
o Only use approved medical oxygen compressed gas cylinders.
o Always begin use with a full oxygen cylinder.
o Secure oxygen cylinders so they do not fall over.
o Keep away from excessive heat to avoid the risk of explosion.
o Do not grease or lubricate oxygen fittings, cylinder valves and
pressure reducers, and do not handle with greasy hands to avoid
the risk of fire.
o Only open or close cylinder valves by hand or with the correct
cylinder wrench. Open the valve slowly and fully. Do not use any
other tools.
o Do not smoke or work in areas where open flames are present.
Oxygen supports combustion and exacerbates fires.
o Only use a pressure reducer with an overpressure relief valve to
limit the delivery pressure in case of a regulator failure!
o To avoid ventilator malfunction do not attach the ventilator to a
flow control valve or flow meter.
