gas supply and flowmeter, graded up
to 10 l/min.
3. Mechanical APL
To operate the Emergency Ventilation, perform
the following:
a. Activate emergency ventilation
b. Adjust oxygen flow - the current flow is
indicated on the flowmeter when the center
of the ball is aligned with the printed scale.
c. Adjust pressure level
When settings have been made, ventilate the
patient using the manual breathing bag.
If the emergency ventilation is activated, either
during a patient case or when testing the
system, the emergency ventilation APL valve
must be set to minimum before resuming
normal ventilation (AUTO or MAN) or starting
a new patient case.
WARNING! If the emergency ventilation
system is activated while the anesthesia
system is in operation, the anesthesia
system will be shutdown.
CAUTION: The emergency flow is always
delivered via the patient cassette outlet and
thus the patient tubings must always be
connected to patient cassette outlets when
emergency ventilation is used.
