It is located below the ventilator on the left front of the machine. The quick connect fitting used is unique to the Narkomed 6400 and cannot be replaced by a hose from any other make or model of anesthesia machine.
A manually operated, self-closing, oxygen flush valve is located on the front Flush left corner of the Narkomed 6400. A bezel is mounted around the pushbutton to prevent accidental engagement. When actuated, the valve delivers an unmetered oxygen flow of about 55 L/min directly to the fresh gas common outlet.
OFPD and oxygen supply low alarm are not activated. Minimum The Narkomed 6400 has an oxygen dispensing system with a calibrated Oxygen Flow bypass flow of 150 ±50 mL/min at 50 psi pipeline pressure. This volume of oxygen is delivered even if the oxygen flow control valve should become fully closed.
System Description Vaporizer Mounts and Interlock Systems The Narkomed 6400 provides mounts and an interlock system for either two vaporizers (standard) or three vaporizers (customer option). With either configuration, a mounting rack for a spare vaporizer is provided on the back of the machine as shown in Figure 2-7.
