Unpacking and installation 

 

2.1  Unpacking and inspection 

 

Check for damage 

When the instrument is received, ensure that you have received all the components on the shipping 

checklist. All the components should be checked visually for scratches and missing parts before use. All the 

contents of the shipment have to be checked for their mechanical and electrical functioning. If the equipment 

is found faulty, please contact your local distributor immediately. Keep the shipping materials for the carrier’s 

inspection and insurance claim.  

 

Keep carton for future shipment 

The instrument comes with shipping cartons, which are specifically designed for the components. It is 

recommended to keep the cartons for future shipments in case of any need for return or service.  

 

Reporting and returning procedure

 

Any missing part or malfunction or any damaged components (due to shipment) should be reported 

immediately to the supplier/local distributor along with the invoice, serial number and a detailed report of the 

issue. For any on-site service-related information, please contact your local distributor. If the system/ 

components are to be returned for service, please fill all the details related to product issues in the 

‘Return 

Report’

, which is attached to this manual. It is very important that you describe all the known facts about the 

issue in the return report, as this will help the engineer to understand and solve the problem to your 

satisfaction. Your local distributor holds the responsibility for coordinating any service/return procedure and 

related formalities.  

 

 

2.2  Storage 

Environmental conditions 

 

The Air Fx is not suitable for use in the presence of flammable anesthetic 

mixtures with air or oxygen or nitrous oxide as there may be an explosion risk. 

 

 

 

IEC 60601-1 Standards Compliance 

  Class I device for protection against electric shock 

  Type B Applied Part for degree of protection against electric shock 

  IPX0 rating for degree of protection against the ingress of water 

(i. e. the system can be damaged if any water is spilled on the electronic equipment) 

 

 

To avoid the risk of electrical shock, the Air Fx must only be connected to a 

supply main with protective earth.
