INSTALLATION CHECK LIST / BEFORE USE
Each time after installation and before use, carry out the following se-
quence 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 O
position.
• Plug the device into the mains, after first checking that the electrical character-
istics 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 5 minutes of operation, check that the yellow LED on the
oxygen monitor module (8) is extinguished. The light remains on until the
oxygen purity reaches 85% ± 3 (approximately 2 minutes).
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 toler-
ances (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.
