Fill absorber canister with CO
2
absorbent to the designated fill line and secure to anesthesia machine (with
Patterson logo facing the front of the anesthesia machine) with the knob from the hardware bag. Make sure the
divider in the absorber canister lines up with and goes into the slot on the bottom of the absorber block so it
seals against the gasket before fully tightening the knob.
Check inhalation/exhalation flutter disks. During
shipping these disks MAY have come dislodged
from their normal positions. They should be
oriented flat on top of the valves beneath the
dome caps as shown in the photo. If they are not
as shown remove the dome caps, place the disks
flat on the valves, and replace the dome caps
BEFORE using the anesthesia machine.
Cut the cable tie securing the vaporizer endcaps
to the machine frame. Install vaporizer to the
anesthesia machine using the mounting hardware
provided with the vaporizer (may be easier with 2
people). If needed use spacers between
vaporizer and frame to allow clearance for
endcaps. Place endcaps onto vaporizer inlet and
outlet ports.
Perform a “leak check” test on the anesthesia machine prior to use.
1.
Close the pop-off valve and cover the end of the Re-breathing circuit with your palm or thumb.
2.
Push the oxygen flush button until the bag is fully distended and/or manometer reads 30-40cm of H
2
O pressure.
3.
If the manometer reading drops rapidly (i.e., more than 5 increments in 20 seconds), or the bag deflates rapidly, or
if you hear a hissing sound, you have a leak.
Check hose, bag, vaporizer inlet and outlet, dome caps, and the seal on your absorber canister for any potential leaks
(Windex can be used).
4.
Re-open the pop-off valve.
