System Setup
Instructions for Use Apollo SW 4.5n 71
Part Number: 9053586, 3rd edition
Connecting the scavenger system
According to the particular requirements for
anesthesia workstations, the use of an anesthetic
gas scavenging system is required.
The Apollo can be equipped with one of two kinds of
scavenger systems to provide the best match with
the hospital’s waste-gas disposal system. These
scavenger systems must comply with ISO 8835-3.
Connecting the anesthetic gas receiving
system AGS (Optional)
The anesthetic gas receiving system AGS is used
with vacuum waste-gas disposal systems.
CAUTION!
Risk of increased ambient gas concentration
Ambient air may become contaminated with
anesthetic agent if the scavenger hoses are
functionally inhibited.
The scavenger hoses must not be pinched, kinked,
or blocked in any manner.
WARNING!
Risk of scavenger becoming blocked
If objects such as packing foil get into the
device, e.g., the breathing system or the
ventilator drawer, the scavenger may become
blocked.
Make sure that there is no packing material left
inside the device.
