5 Assembly and preparation
5.1 Assembling the main device with carrying system
(option)
The carrying system can be used to transport an oxygen cylinder together with the
device. This enables the device to be operated directly at the patient's location,
independent of a central gas supply.
Requirements for the oxygen cylinder
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
If the pressure reducer on the oxygen cylinder protrudes beyond the protection bar,
it may be damaged or knocked off.
► Place the oxygen cylinder in the carrying system so that the pressure reducer
does not protrude beyond the protection bar.
► The oxygen compressed gas hose must not protrude beyond the protection bar,
otherwise it may catch on objects.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
If the quick-coupling port of the Alduk IV pressure reducer is used, the connection
will protrude beyond the standard protection bar.
► Always use the wide protection bar when using the quick-coupling port of the
Alduk IV pressure reducer.
The protection bar on the pressure reducer can be extended by approx.
20 mm (0.8 in) if necessary. Contact DrägerService.
Only oxygen cylinders with the following properties may be used:
– Diameter: 100 to 120 mm (3.9 to 4.7 in)
– Length of cylinder body: 300 to 450 mm (11.8 to 17.7 in)
– Length of valve: 160 to 180 mm (6.3 to 7.1 in)
– Total length: max. 560 mm (22.1 in) (max. 580 mm [22.8 in] with wide protection
