An emergency ventilation system (e.g. Ambu-Bag) must always be in close proximity of the unit. F. Stephan shall assume no responsibility or liability for any damage or defects arising from non-observance of the above-mentioned information.
Operating Instructions Artec 2 Technical Description Driven by customer requests and requirements, the ARTEC model series had been designed and developed as a compact universal version. At the same time high quality- standards and maximum economy has been achieved. The elementary structure ensures a good overview and quick allocation and adjustment of parameters for the respective unit components.

Operating Instructions Artec Gas Supply: The unit is designed with a central gas supply coupling connection. A set of hoses is supplied with the unit for the three types of gases O O and compressed air ( if air is provided).
It is strongly advised to have the installation carried out by our specially trained Stephan Service Team. 2.2 Scope of Use and Application The ARTEC is an inhalation anesthesia unit for the manual anesthesia of infants, children and adults.
3 Description 3.1 Gasmixing unit 3 and 4 The gasmixing unit serves as a dosage unit for medical gases (e.g. O O, Air). The choosen gases can mixed in a arbitary relation, but the ratio-system guarantees a O -concentration not lower then 21 % (see below).
Operating Instructions Artec 3.2 O – Ratiosystem (optional) The Gasmixing units GME 3 and GME 4 can be equipped optionally with a pneumatical system to assure at every flowrange of N O a minimum concentration of oxygen of 25 % (+/- 5%).
Operating Instructions Artec 3.3 O -Flush By pressing the O Flush push-button, a fast oxygen supply (approx. 50 litres per minute) is activated directly to the fresh-air outlet (not via the anesthesia vaporizer). After releasing the O Flush push button it must return to it original position.
Operating Instructions Artec Vaporizer On request, the ARTEC inhalation anesthesia unit can be equipped with various vaporizer- systems. In the standard model, the vaporizerss come in use which are equipped with an „Interlock‘“ locking system to enable alternating operation of two vaporizers. The anesthetic agent is mounted to the selected vaporizer rack by means of a click-in mechanism.
Operating Instructions Artec 3.8 Gas-cylinder Supply Component When in the gas-cylinder operation mode, the gas is reduced from 200 or 50 bar to a working pressure of 5 bar. The cylinder pressure can be read on the pressure gauge and indicates the status of level fill of the gas bottles.
Operating Instructions Artec 4 Changeover mounting arm (optional) As an option, the anesthesia system can be equipped with a changeover mounting arm. At the fresh gas outlet of this mounting arm a circuit system ISO 1 (Art.Nr. 11561006 / re- breathing system with CO absorber) or all commercially available non re-breathing systems (e.g.
