6.2 Leak Test
heck that the canster (1) s securely ftted, wth the lever
(2) turned fully ant-clockwse to the locked-on poston, as
llustrated (see secton 53)
heck that the bag (not shown) s correctly ftted to the arm
(3), and set the bag/ventlator swtch (4) to ‘Bag’
onnect the fresh gas hose to the anaesthetc machne
Use a breathng system hose to connect the patent ports (5) to
form a closed, leak-free crcut
lose the APL valve (6)
1 Turn on a flow of 2 L/mn of oxygen and pressurse the
system
2 Stop the gas flow when the system pressure reaches 3 kPa
(30 cmHO) and check that pressure s mantaned, e the
pressure must not fall to zero n less than one mnute
63 Adustable Pressure Lmtng (APL) Valve
Test and Pressure Relief Test
APL Valve Functon
1 Open the APL valve (6)
heck that gas escapes freely from the system through the
valve outlet
APL Valve Flow Resstance
2 Set maxmum flow and check that the retaned pressure s
less than 05 kPa (5 cmHO)
3 Reduce flow to mnmum
Pressure Relef
4 lose the APL valve fully (clockwse)
5 Remove the reservor bag (not shown) and block the bag
port on the arm (3)
Use the flow controls on the anaesthesa machne to
produce a hgh flow of gas nto the system and check that
the APL valve provdes excess pressure relef
The manometer readng must not exceed 6 kPa (60
cmHO) ± 10% at 6 L/mn
Reft the reservor bag
