2.1 General information
• The following applies throughout this User's
Manual:
- 'FLOW-i', 'anesthesia system' and
'system' represent FLOW-i anesthesia
system version 4.2.
• This manual applies to the FLOW-i
anesthesia system models C20, C30 and
C40, and optional equipment that can be
fitted onto these.
• Only authorized personnel who are well
trained in its use should operate the
anesthesia system. It must be operated
according to the instructions in this User's
Manual.
• Gas volumes, flows and leakages
associated with the breathing system are
stated in the technical specifications and
adhere to BTPS reference conditions. (Body
temperature, ambient pressure, Saturated).
• All gas concentration readings are normally
referenced to dry gas conditions, ambient
room temperature and atmospheric
pressure (ATPD).
• The condition for measured inlet gas
pressures and flows is STPD (Standard
Temperature and Pressure Dry); 20° C,
standard pressure at 101.3 kPa and 0 %
relative humidity (dry).
• All data on pressures are given in either
cmH
2
O or bar, where
1 cmH
2
O = 1 hPa = 1 mbar
1 bar = 15 psi = 1 atm = 1 kgf/cm

(kp/cm

)
• The anesthesia system is not made with
natural latex.
• Applied parts, i.e. equipment making
physical contact with the patient, comprise
gases (including agents) and the patient
mask.
• If the mains power supply is interrupted,
the internal battery will provide temporary
power to the system (approx. 90 minutes
when fully charged).
• The fresh gas/gas supply outlets are not
affected by switch to battery power.
• Malfunction of the central gas supply can
potentially cause one or several of the
devices connected to the system to stop
their operation simultaneously.
• When the system is in use, a backup gas
supply shall always be available.
• If the central gas supply is interrupted, the
backup gas cylinders O
2
/N
2
O or O
2
/Air
(option) will provide gas to the system.
• In case of automatic ventilation failure,
switch to manual ventilation. In case of
manual ventilation failure, switch to
emergency ventilation.
• In case of a total power (mains power and
battery) or other electronic failures, the
built-in emergency ventilation system can
be used.
• The system maintains its performance when
tilted up to two degrees.
• In case of a complete system failure,
immediate access to alternative means of
ventilation, e.g. a manually powered
resuscitator, must be ensured to avoid
possible patient injury.
• MAQUET takes full responsibility for
compliance of the CE mark requirements
for the MAQUET CO
2
cartridge produced
by Molecular Products Ltd (MPL). MAQUET
takes full responsibility for the supply of the
instructions for use in accordance with the
legislation relevant for the intended use for
