Alternate O2 control
The Alternate O2 control is not an auxiliary source of O2.
When Alternate O2 control is enabled, flow from the
electronic mixer is stopped and the agent concentration
is set to off. O2 is flowing through the Alternate O2
control to the breathing system. To activate anesthetic
agent flow to the breathing system, set the agent to the
desired concentration.
Agent delivery cannot be activated in the case of certain
electronic mixer or agent delivery failures. The Agent
quick key will be blank if agent delivery is unavailable.
Use the Alternate O2 control to deliver O2 through an independent
pneumatic path to the vaporizer and patient circuit. Alternate O2 is
connected to the system O2 supply. Alternate O2 control activates
automatically in the case of certain failures or errors. It can also be
activated manually.
The Alternate O2 control is available approximately 20 seconds after
the system is turned on. The Alternate O2 flow is adjustable to
approximately 0.5 l/min to 10 l/min as indicated on the flow tube.
