Prior to administering anesthesia to each patient, the following should be done:
1. Check for any damage to or dangerous conditions in the equipment. Ensure all necessary
equipment and supplies are present, e.g., drugs, CO
2
absorbent (not exhausted), breathing
circuits and backup O
2
supply.
2. Check that the central O
2
, N
2
O and air supply pressure is within the specified range for pipelined
gas supply (i.e., 280 -600 kPa (40 to 87 psi)).
3. Perform the flow control system test (See "Flow Control System Test" on Pages 5-10).
4. Perform a vaporizer leak test for each vaporizer installed on the equipment(See "Vaporizer Leak
Test" on Pages 5-12).
5. Verify that the O
2
and air supplies of HFNC are available and functioning.

2
, N
2
O and air cylinders (if applicable) have been installed onto the
equipment and whether they have sufficient pressure without leakage under high pressure.
(See "Test Backup Gas Cylinders" on Page 4-12)
8. Check whether the valves of the backup O
2
, N
2
O and air cylinders (if applicable) have been
closed and not opened until needed to prevent unexpected use.
9. Connect the breathing circuit and manual bag and check the operation of unidirectional valves
by visual inspection.

11. Check that patient suction is adequate to clear the airway.
12. Verify the monitoring functionality and check alarms.
The following step is recommended to be performed when prompted by the equipment:
• Complete the 21% of O
2
calibration (See "O
2
Sensor Calibration" on Pages 9-4).
The following step is recommended when replacing an O
2
sensor:
• Complete the 21% and 100% of O
2
calibration (See "O
2
Sensor Calibration" on Pages 9-4).
The following steps are recommended for each installing of new vaporizers or each
replacement of CO
2
absorbent:
• Perform a vaporizer leak test (See "Vaporizer Leak Test" on Pages 5-12).
