7 Test the flow reduction of the linkage system, which shall:
Set O2 flow to (L/min):
Air flow must be less than (L/min):
2.0
6.0
1.0
3.0
0.5
1.5
8 Adjust the full flow rate of all gases to ensure that the float of the flow tube moves freely
9 Off O
2
pipeline supply
10 Ensure:
 A whistle alarm occurs when O2 supply pressure is low
 Stop air flow Air and O2, O2 air flow finally stops
11 Turn all flow controls clockwise and to the end (minimum flow)
12 Connect O2 pipeline supply again
13 Turn off the power switch
4.3.2 With O2 Monitor
Warning
The linkage system cannot replace the O2 monitoring device. Fresh gas contains sufficient O2 and
does not necessarily avoid the presence of hypoxic mixtures in the breathing circuit.
Improper gas mixtures can cause harm to animals. If the linkage system cannot provide an
appropriate ratio of O2 and Air, the system should not be used.
NOTE Before continuing the test, first test the O2 detection device according to step 8 of "4.6
Alarm Test"
To conduct the flow control test, it shall:
1 Connect the pipeline for gas supply.
2 Turn all flow controls clockwise and back to all (minimum flow).
3 Turn on the power switch.
4 The system should not be used if other ventilator fault alarms occur.
5 Ensure:
 All flow tubes have no gas flow rate display.
 Steps 6 and 7 are used to test the Air system only.
