What to do if Dräger Perseus A500 Medical Equipment has a power failure?
If there is a power failure, restore mains power supply.
What to do if Dräger Perseus A500 Medical Equipment has a mains power supply failure and empty batteries?
If you experience a mains power supply failure and empty batteries, take the following steps: * Check the vaporizer setting. * Set the O2 switch (A) upwards to position _Add. O2._ * Open the flow control valve (B) on the O2 flowmeter and set the desired flow. * Charge empty batteries for at least 8 hours. * Check the displays for mains voltage and battery on the status display. * For devices without isolation transformer: Replace the fuses. * For devices with isolation transformer: If necessary, wait at most 2 minutes for the circuit breaker to cool. Press the key on the circuit breaker back in or operate the switch on the isolation transformer.
What to do if Dräger Perseus A500 Medical Equipment has a ventilator failure?
In the event of a ventilator failure: * Switch to the MAN / SPON ventilation mode. * Manually ventilate the patient.
What to do if Dräger Medical Equipment has a failure of fresh-gas delivery?
If there is a failure of fresh-gas delivery, ensure the patient receives O2 using emergency O2 delivery. Check the vaporizer setting.
What to do if Dräger Perseus A500 Medical Equipment has a screen fault/user interface failure?
If the screen or user interface fails: * Switch Perseus to Standby mode by pressing the button and confirming with the rotary knob. * Manually ventilate the patient.
What to do if Dräger Medical Equipment has a failure of the gas measurement?
If the gas measurement fails, ensure corresponding substitute monitoring. Check the sample line and water trap for damage or blockage and resolve these as needed.
What to do if Dräger Medical Equipment has problems with the anesthetic gas receiving system (AGS)?
If you are experiencing issues with the anesthetic gas receiving system (AGS), consider the following: * If the suction power of the ejector is insufficient, have the function of the AGSS terminal unit checked. Observe related instructions for use. * If the particle filter is contaminated or blocked, replace the anesthetic gas receiving system (AGS) or have service personnel replace the particle filter. * If the suction power of the ejector is too high, have the suction power of the ejector in the AGSS terminal unit adjusted to the working range of the AGS. * If the particle filter is missing, replace the anesthetic gas receiving system (AGS) or have service personnel install the particle filter.
What to do if Dräger Medical Equipment has a failure of flow measurement?
If the flow measurement fails, replace the flow sensor and perform the breathing system test.
What to do if Dräger Medical Equipment has a complete failure of the gas supply?
If there is a complete failure of the gas supply, disconnect the hoses for the failed gas from the central supply.
