Installation and Patient Safety 9 Anesthetic Gas Module
179
The environment where the Philips M1026A Anesthetic Gas Module is used should be free from
vibration, dust, corrosive or explosive gases, and extremes of temperature and humidity.
For a cabinet mounted installation with the monitor, allow sufficient room at the front for operation
and sufficient room at the rear for servicing with the cabinet access door open.
The Philips M1026A Anesthetic Gas Module operates within specifications at ambient temperatures
between 15
°C and 40°C, 8 minutes after switching it on.
Ambient temperatures that exceed these limits could affect the accuracy of this instrument and cause
damage to the components and circuits. Allow at least 2 inches (5cm) clearance around the instruments
for proper air circulation.
CAUTION If the Philips M1026A Anesthetic Gas Module has been stored at temperatures below freezing, it needs
a minimum of 4 hours at room temperature to warm up before any connections are made to it.
Make sure that the Philips M1026A Anesthetic Gas Module is free of condensation before operation.
Condensation can form when equipment is moved from one building to another, thus being exposed
to moisture and differences in temperature.
