Connecting Instrument to Medical Gas Outlet

Before proceeding, turn ON the instrument and allow it warm-up per
Section 2.2. The pump should be OFF at this time.
After warming up, connect the instrument's gas inlet through the sup-
plied fl ow restrictor to the medical gas outlet as follows:
CAUTION: Never apply gas directly from the medical gas
outlet to the instrument, as internal damage to the instrument
can result. The maximum pressure that can be applied to the
instrument is 2 psig, which corresponds to a fl ow of between
100–200 cc/min.
1. Attach the threaded end of the fl ow restrictor (supplied with instru-
ment) to a standard medical gas outlet fi tting, then attach fi tting to
gas outlet on wall.
2. Connect a 2 to 3 foot length of clear, fl exible
to the barbed end of the fl ow restrictor .
3. Attach the other end of the plastic tubing to the instrument's gas inlet
fi tting (Figure 1, Item A). Important! If the quality of the gas sample is
suspect, protect the instrument by inserting the supplied PTFE particu-
late fi lter in-line using appropriate fi ttings and tubing.
