START-UP
Apparatus Preparation
The following must be performed prior to initial use of the apparatus.
CAUTION: Do not connect patients to this apparatus until these eight steps have been com-
pleted.
1. Connect apparatus to mains and switch on for 1 minute, then shut off. Unplug appa-
ratus from mains and switch on again. An audible alarm must sound.
2. Connect air and oxygen supply tubes to the respective ports at the back of the appa-
ratus and wall ports. The inputs are marked and coded to prevent reversing the two
gas connections.
The maximum available operating pressure is 3.5 Bar.
The following applies to supply pressures below 4 Bar:
Maximum operating pressure = lower supply pressure – 0.5 Bar.
3. Connect the apparatus to a suitable outlet using the power cable. The apparatus may
be operated at 100 VAC to 240 VAC and automatically adjusts to the respective voltage
without manual intervention. However, be sure the fuse used conforms to the value in-
dicated on the label for the respective voltage. Fuses may only be exchanged by a
trained technician. When exchanging fuses always use the same value fuse.
4. Connect patient tube to the port at the front of the apparatus labelled JET.
5. Connect pressure sensing line to the port labelled accordingly. Acutronic recommends
using the separate pressure sensing line, if possible. This eliminates the risk of pneu-
mothorax.
6. Finally, connect the AUX-Flow tube to the port labelled accordingly. The AUX-Flow is
primarily intended to pre-oxygenate the patient via mask, as well as for emergency pa-
tient ventilation via resuscitation bag. (e.g. AMBU or Laerdal)
7. Switch on apparatus. The power switch is located at the back of the apparatus to pre-
vent accidental apparatus switch-off.
8. After being switched on the internal oxygen sensor will automatically be calibrated.
The apparatus is automatically calibrated every 24 hours. If calibration fails due to dis-
connected gas supply, calibration can be started manually from the “
Settings
” menu.
