Note the Instructions for Use of the Drägersorb 800 +
or Drägersorb Free soda lime.
Verify that the scavenging system is ready for
use:
1. Check that the scavenger hose between the
AGS and the scavenger connection on back of
the machine is securely connected.
2. Check that the hose between the output
connector on the scavenger and the hospital
waste-gas disposal system is securely
connected.
3. Make sure that the AGSS is ready for operation.
Check if the flow indicator at the AGS floats
between the two marks.
4. On the AGS, make sure that the float is in
between the two marks in the sight glass on the
AGS.
WARNING!
Risk of patient injury
The soda lime loses humidity. Generally, if the
humidity falls below a minimum set point, the
following undesirable reactions can occur,
independent of the type of lime and the
inhalation anesthetic being used:
– reduced CO
2 absorption,
– increased heat build-up in the absorber and
thus an increased breathing gas
temperature,
– formation of CO,
– absorption and/or decomposition of the
anesthetic agent.
These reactions could pose a danger to the
patient.
If using dry gases, only flush the anesthesia
system briefly, and only if necessary.
WARNING!
Risk of patient injury
If the flow controls are left open, the ensuing
flow of gas may dry out the soda lime,
endangering the patient.
The flow control valves should be closed when
the machine is in the standby mode or when it is
switched off.
