  • Page 28: Connection To Gas Cylinder

    It is recommended that an automatic gas cylinder switchover system be used to ensure the continuity of the gas supply. A braided PTFE-lined gas connecting hose is supplied with Geri for connection to the gas cylinder. The braided PTFE-lined gas connecting hose has a nontoxic, low-permeability PTFE lining that prevents loss of CO in the delivery of the gas mixture.

  • Page 29: Connecting The Gas Supply To Multiple Geri Instruments

    2. Connect the braided PTFE-lined gas connecting hose from the last instrument in the sequence to the previous instrument. The number of Geri instruments that can be connected in series to a single gas supply is a function of the total length of the braided PTFE-lined gas connecting hose from the source, and the resulting gas pressure and flow rate into the last Geri instrument connected in series.

  • Page 30: Other Gas Connections

    To improve the purity of the gas entering a chamber and to prevent any damage to the instrument caused by water entering the gas line (such as spills occurring during cleaning or dish placement), a disposable hydrophobic gas filter (GERI–FIL–50) is used. The filter is located at the rear of each chamber.
