INSTALLATION CHECK LIST / BEFORE USE
Each time after installation and before use, carry out the following
sequence of operations
• Check that the device is in good condition generally (no traces of
impacts, etc.)
• Check that the patient circuit is in good condition generally (flexible nasal cannulas, pipes clean,
no cuts, etc.)
• If necessary, fill and fit the humidifier.
• Before plugging in the device, check that the mains fault alarm is working by placing the O/I
switch in the I position for a few seconds. Switch back to the 0 position.
• Plug the device into the mains, after first checking that the electrical characteristics of the mains
systems match those indicated on the manufacturer's label (rear panel of device).
• Switch on the device (switch in the I position) and check that the audible and visual alarms
operate for 15 seconds at most.
• After a maximum of 10 minutes of operation, check that the yellow LED on the
oxygen monitor module (8) is extinguished. The light remains on until the oxygen concentration
reaches 85% ± 3 (approximately 10 minutes, except for flows less than 2 l/min. which is not
recommended unless utilized with the Pediatric Option Procedure).
For the technician only:
• for each installation:
- check that the mains fault alarm is working
• at regular intervals and every time maintenance work is carried out:
- check that the flow supplied matches the flow set within the respective tolerances (refer to §
Technical Characteristics in this manual).
- check that for the patient's prescribed flow, the oxygen concentration is equal to or higher than
90%.
The manufacturer's instructions for the preventive maintenance of the devices defined in
the maintenance manual and any updates to it must be followed. The work must be carried out by
suitably trained technicians.
Only use original spare parts. Upon request, the supplier can provide circuit diagrams,
spare parts lists, technical details or any other information of use to qualified technical personnel
for parts of the device whose repair is designated as being the manufacturer's responsibility.
