7.1. BEFORE USE
CHECK BEFORE USE
• Visually check that the panel is not damaged (including labels and mark-
EN
ing).
• Visually check the cleanliness of the panel; if needed clean panel follow-
ing cleaning procedure listed below of this document.
• Check sufficiency of the cylinder pressure. In case of low cylinder pres-
sure, replace the cylinder or switch to another cylinder and replace the
empty cylinder with a full one.
• Turn on the medical gas to the ambulance panel inlet (e.g., by the open-
ing the of cylinder shutoff valve), during this operation follow the instruc-
tion for use of the cylinder shutoff valve.
• At version with cylinder source switch, check the correct position of the
handwheel (number indicated by the handwheel must correspond to the
number of the chosen cylinder).
• At version with the gas pressure indicator check correct panel pressure
indication.
• At version with the MediFlow® selector, check it is in position "0".
• Check the leakage of the panel (e. g.by listening for the sound of gas
flow out).
• If there is any defect do not use the panel and mark that it is not allowed
to be used it and arrange for the service repair.
Before the first use of any medical device which was not the original part
of the ambulance equipment, check its performance when connected to
the panel,especially in stage when the cylinder is going to be empty, to
check its compatibility.
At panels with cylinder source switch focus to the correct handwheel posi-
tion – have to be exactly in the selected position. If it is not, there may be
a risk of decreasing the flow capacity through the panel which can nega-
tively affect connected devices performance.
You should remember that if you are using a panel with DIN QC for sup-
porting medical devices of an outlet flow 200l/min., the pressure on the
outlet side of the panel is about 1 bar lower than on the inlet side and than
indicated by the gas pressure indicator (if equipped).
