Daily Checkout
Daily Checkout
Procedure
Before operating the Narkomed 2B, the following checkout procedure
must be performed to make sure the machine is ready for use. This is a
recommended procedure. Follow your institution’s policies for specific
checkout procedures. If the anesthesia system fails any procedures
identified by an asterisk (*), do not use the machine. Contact a North
American Dräger qualified technical service representative for inspection
of the unit.
NOTE: Do not insert any additional components into, or modify,
the anesthesia system after the checkout procedure is
started.
Initial Setup and
Verification
1. Enter the serial number located on the right rear leg into the
anesthesia record.
2. Make sure there is a valid inspection sticker on the back of the
machine indicating that the anesthesia machine was serviced and
inspected by a North American Dräger qualified technical service
representative.
3. Verify that a cylinder wrench is tethered to the back of the
machine next to one of the cylinders.
4. If the anesthesia machine is not already plugged in, connect the
electrical power cable to an active AC outlet that accepts and
properly grounds the power cable. Do not use “cheater” plugs.
The term “cheater” plug implies any and all electrical plugs or
other devices that can inhibit or prohibit the proper grounding of
the anesthesia machine.
System Software
Diagnostics
*5. Turn the SYSTEM POWER switch to the ON position. Wait for
the machine to complete its diagnostic checks. Make sure the
system is functional.
Battery Power
Verification
*6. Check the reserve battery power. Remove the power plug from
the outlet. Press the BATTERY TEST button on the main switch
panel. The green indicator to the left of the test button must
light. The yellow BATTERY LOW indicator must remain unlit.
Plug the power cable back into the electrical outlet.
NOTE: This test assumes that the anesthesia machine has been
plugged in for 16 hours. The battery charging system
works only when the machine is connected to an active AC
power source. The charging system takes about 16 hours
to charge a fully discharged battery.
