2.2 Assembly
NOTE: The Anesthesia Machine is matched with its Breathing System Block via 
calibration of its Flow Sensors. If the Breathing System Block is 
removed, ensure that it is reinstalled on its matching Anesthesia 
Machine. If a different Breathing System Block is reinstalled, then the 
Flow Sensors must be recalibrated. Refer to Section NOTE: on page 4-
18.
NOTE: Forward going the breathing system will have a serial number label on 
it. On the back of the machine, next to the serial number label, there is a 
serial number label of the breathing system that the unit was calibrated 
and shipped with.
2.2.1 Unpacking and Setup
1. When the A5/A3 is delivered, IMMEDIATELY inspect the box for any damage.
a. If there is NO damage and ALL tip indicators on the box exterior are intact, then sign and 
date the bill of lading or airway bill to indicate safe receipt of the anesthesia system.
b. If there is DAMAGE or ANY of the tip indicators on the box exterior have activated, then 
conditionally accept the delivery and clearly describe the damages on the bill of lading or 
airway bill. BOTH the carrier and recipient must sign and date the bill of lading or airway bill. 
Save all damaged factory packaging until further instructed by Mindray. The receiver should 
immediately contact Mindray Customer Service at (800) 288-2121 or (201) 995-8000. 
NOTE: When unpacking the unit, keep as much of the plastic covering on the 
unit as possible. When all parts are unpacked, return the packing 
material to its original box. Place the smaller box inside the larger box.
2. Cut, remove, and discard the white shipping straps from the box.
