Gas supply
All gas supplies (central supply, gas cylinders) must be correctly connected since
otherwise the backup system (gas cylinders) will not be available if the gas supply
fails. Other devices, e.g., a bronchial suction system, which are connected to the
gas outlets of the device, will no longer be supplied with gas. As a result, the patient
could be put at risk.
► Make sure that all compressed gas hoses are correctly connected to the rear
side of the device.
► After connecting the gas supplies, ensure their functional integrity. Set the
supply pressure from the gas cylinders in accordance with the specifications on
the device.
► Even when the device is connected to the central supply, the gas cylinders
should remain by the device with valves closed as backup.
► On devices that are equipped with Advanced Cylinder Support, the valves of the
gas cylinders can remain open.
► Always monitor the gas supply to connected devices independently of the main
device.
Devices connected to the gas supply may be damaged by inadequate gas quality.
The use of non-medical gas can result in gas compositions that impair the
functional integrity of the device.
► Use only medical gases.
► Follow the national and international standards regarding the use of medical
gases.
Impermissible supply pressures or using oxygen with an insufficient purity can
cause an incorrect gas composition. As a result, the patient could be put at risk.
► Check the supply pressures of the central supply and of the gas cylinders before
operation.
► If O
The following effects can occur when using O

– Deviations between the set value and the actual value for fresh-gas flow and O
concentration in the fresh gas
– Inaccurate measured values for volume, anesthetic agent consumption,
econometer, and low-flow wizard
– Accumulation of argon in low-flow operation and minimal-flow operation
