Power-Up Standby Screen

ing the operation of the Fabius MRI.
Setting Fresh Gas Flow
Set the fresh gas flow to the desired concentration
using the flow control knobs on the front of the
machine.
S-ORC (Sensitive Oxygen Ratio Controller)
S-ORC is a control element which guarantees a
minimum O
2 concentration in the fresh gas flow. As
from a flow rate of approx. 300 mL/min, the N
2O
concentration in the fresh gas can be freely set
between 0 and 75 %.
During O
2 shortage S-ORC limits the N2O concen-
tration in the fresh gas, so that the O2 concentration
does not drop below 23 vol.%.
S-ORC prevents N
2O flow if the N2O metering
valve is open and O
2 metering valve closed or if the
O2 flow is less than 0.2 L/min.
