Getinge Maquet FLOW-i 4.2 User Manual

6.14.1 Connecting a vaporizer
Vaporizers can be connected during Standby
and Run mode.
Before inserting the vaporizer in the vaporizer
slot, a visual check of the exterior and the
mesh on the vaporizer inlet and outlet shall be
performed.
There is a short delay before a vaporizer can
be used after it has been connected due to
calibration.
A vaporizer check should always be performed
after connecting a vaporizer to the system but,
in an emergency, or if the system is in Run
mode, the check can be bypassed. A
'Vaporizer check bypassed' system message
will be displayed in the message area and an
entry is made in the event log.
A leakage check is performed together with
the vaporizer check. The logs and system are
subsequently updated with leakage
measurements and circuit compliance
compensation data.
Connecting a vaporizer in Standby mode
Insert the vaporizer into the vaporizer slot and
push into place until a click is heard.
A prompt window appears: 'A vaporizer check
should be performed before the vaporizer is
used'. Press Start to initiate the check.
If a patient case is started and the active
vaporizer hasn't been checked, the user is
required to confirm this action.
See Chapter 4, page 60, for a description of
the Vaporizer check.
