Instructions for use Perseus A500 SW 2.0n 137
Ending operation
Flushing and drying the breathing
system (Flush & Dry function)
Dräger recommends always flushing the breathing
system before switching off to prevent damage or
failure due to residual anesthetic agent and
residual moisture.
During this process, first ambient air is used for
flushing because this does not dry out the soda
lime. Then a small amount of Air or O
2 from the
central gas supply or the gas cylinders is used to
dissipate residual moisture.
1 Prepare the device in accordance with the
instructions on the screen.
2 Touch the Start Flush & Dry button.
3 If necessary, cancel the flushing with Cancel to
return to the Standby mode.
After the flushing procedure, Perseus shuts down
or remains in the Standby mode (Auto On option).
