Operation of HBSPS
1. Plug the power cord (1 in Figure 13) into a mains
power outlet on the wall. The green LED for
MAINS POWER (2 in Figure 13) will illuminate
when the plug is connected to power.
2. Switch the HEATER POWER switch
(1 in Figure 14) to the ON position (top of the
rocker depressed). The HEATER POWER LED
will illuminate (2 in Figure 14).
3. After 15 to 30 minutes, the underside of the
COSY will feel slightly warm.
Figure 14. HBSPS FrontTo avoid the possibility of drying out absorbent, it is
recommended that the heater be turned off when not
in use.
Warning: When the moisture content falls below a
specified minimum level, the following
undesirable reactions can occur,
regardless of the type of CO
2 absorbent
and the anesthetic agent used, e.g.
Halothane, Enflurane, Isoflurane,
Sevoflurane or Desflurane:
• reduced CO
2 absorption,
• formation of CO,
• absorption and/or decomposition of
the inhalation anesthetic agent,
• increased heat generation in the
absorber, leading to higher breathing
gas temperatures.
Additionally, the breakdown products of
anesthetic agents exposed to dry
absorbent are both flammable and toxic,
and fires have been reported in
association with the use of desiccated
absorbent and volatile anesthetics.
These reactions can result in danger to
the patient in the form of CO intoxication,
insufficient depth of anesthesia and
airway burns.
