SPECIAL INFORMATION
There are a few special areas of information that must be read and understood prior to
operating the ADS 2000.
1.
BATTERY BACKUP: The ADS 2000 has an internal battery backup system that
allows you to continue your procedures in the event of loss of electrical power. It
also protects the unit from electrical spikes that may occur during thunderstorms or
brownouts. In addition, it allows you to use it as an emergency ventilator in the field
if required. It is suggested that the power supply be plugged in, and connected to
the device at all times so you will have full power in the event of an emergency. The
battery backup should provide ten to twelve hours of use when fully charged.
2.
The red LED on the face of the ADS 2000 will illuminate when the battery requires
charging. It will also flash whenever the external gas sampling hose is
disconnected from the circuit.
3. The ADS 2000 can be damaged if any liquid or of anesthesia enters
it from the vaporizer. It is imperative that you do not overfill the vaporizer and
that you have it inspected and certified at least every year. Anesthesia
residue found in the ADS 2000 may void the warranty.
CAUTION: It is important when connecting the vaporizer to ensure that
The vaporizer is mounted lower than the ADS 2000. This will prevent
liquid anesthetic from possibly entering the ADS 2000.
4. This device must be flushed between procedures to ensure proper
operation. Failure to flush the device may allow unwanted foreign materials
to build up in the hoses and internal parts. This may cause incorrect
readings on the display, and / or interfere with the proper flow of gases
through the unit. Additionally, the unit may not be able to complete its self-
test causing a default which will show as an error on the display. Please
refer to page 21 of this manual for the flush procedure.
5. The breathing circuit hoses supplied with the ADS 2000 are “disposable”
type hoses and are easily replaceable. It is suggested that they be replaced
periodically.
6. The ADS 2000 will shut down the flow of oxygen, sound the alarm and
flash the LED, whenever the gas sampling circuit is disconnected. This is
an important safety feature for this device. Upon reconnecting the sampling
hose, the device will continue to operate with the settings as established.
