The ADS 2000 and Electro Surgery Units
NOTE: The use of certain types of electro surge cauterizing units can cause severe
radio interference resulting in “locking up” the ADS 2000 microprocessor. It is
suggested to experiment with the supplied TEST LUNG to see which cauterizing units
are compatible with the ADS 2000.
NOTE: The power supply (plug) that is supplied with the ADS 2000 can sometimes act
as an antenna for receiving interference from an electro surge unit. Temporarily
unplugging the power supply (running in Battery Mode) aids in isolating the ADS
2000 from electro surge interference.
Note: Your ADS 2000 unit is fitted with a Hose Disconnect Safety System. In the event
that the external sampling hose becomes disconnected, the system will disconnect the
gas input to the patient, sound an alarm and flash the red light on the front left corner of
the unit.
Once the external sampling hose is reconnected, the unit will continue to work
properly.
If you encounter any unusual difficulties with the ADS 2000 call EEC at 1-800-445-
8581. Do not attempt to repair the A.D.S 2000 on your own. Doing so will invalidate
your warranty.
Issues upon Self-Test
