Bird Sentry™ Blender Setup
The Bird Sentry blender is easily setup and adapts to most hospital rail mount and ventilator systems.
The inlet fittings (air and oxygen) located on the bottom of the unit conform to Diameter Indexed
Safety System (D.I.S.S.) standards as specified by Compressed Gas Association (C.G.A.) to discourage
inadvertent connections of either gas supply.
Mount the Bird Sentry blender in a convenient location such that all displays are easily visible and all
controls and the sensor and sensor receptacle are readily accessible. Check that the available room light
is sufficient to view all displays.
Sensor Installation
Be sure to use a fresh O
sensor into the sensor port on the right side of the Bird Sentry blender. Allow the sensor a period of
adjustment as listed in the specifications section on page 19 and stated in Chapter 3, Performance
Check.

The Bird Sentry blender is able to provide oxygen concentrations by means of a single control, and is
