Description
3.4 Adjustable Pressure Limiting (APL) Valve
The APL valve (1) s a sprng loaded plastc float wth a rubber
seal, provdng breathng system pressure control, and excess
pressure relef
The sprng pressure can be vared by rotatng the control
knob on top of the valve In the fully counterclockwse poston
the mnmum pressure s 10 cmHO at 6 L/mn Ths can be
ncreased by clockwse rotaton to 60 cmHO
As shown n the graph, further clockwse rotaton causes a
rapd ncrease n openng pressure so that n the fully closed
poston, the valve functons as a 60 cmHO excess pressure
relef valve
WARNIN
The APL valve (1) s out of crcut when the system s n
‘Ventlator’ mode The ventlator must be equpped wth a
pressure relef valve
3.5 AGSS Outlet and Fresh Gas Inlet and
Hose
ASS (anaesthetc gas scavengng system) connector
Taper connector (1) at rear of absorber assembly
Fresh as Inlet and Hose
The fresh gas nlet (2) s at the rear of the absorber
The absorber s suppled wth a fresh gas hose assembly wth
an attached end fttng Do not use any other type of hose
WARNIN
Knkng of the fresh gas hose s a known cause of
anaesthetc accdent The use of an unsutable hose
assembly can contrbute to ths stuaton
3.6 Manometer
The use of a manometer s strongly recommended at all tmes
The manometer (1) s located on the top of the manfold block
Manometer scale -10 to +100 cmHO
Manometer accuracy ±5% (wthn range +10 to 80 cmHO)
AUTION
Remove the manometer before autoclavng the absorber
manfold block - see secton 85
