Monitor System Set-up
5.3.1 Installation
Fit the probe (A) to the A200SP absorber.
Connect the cable to the input socket (B) on
the back of the AV-S ventilator control unit
NOTE The anaesthetic machine gas control
switch must be in the ON position for gas delivery.
WARNING
The sensor contains a small quantity of
electrolyte, classified as a harmful irritant
which is potentially hazardous.
Do not attempt to open a cell.
ALWAYS check the integrity of the sensor
assembly before use.
Once exhausted, the sensor must be
disposed of according to hospital, local, state
and federal regulations.
NOTE
To maintain maximum sensor life:
i) always disconnect the breathing circuit after
use.
ii) Switch off the anaesthetic machine to cut-off
the basal flow through the system.
Bacterial Filter
Use a breathing system bacterial filter in the
expiratory limb of the breathing circuit to
protect the oxygen sensor (see section
5.1.8).
CAUTION
Replacement/Disposal - always follow the
instructions supplied with the filter, and always
replace at the recommended interval.
5.3.2
Calibration
The new unit must be calibrated before
clinical use.
Thereafter, as a safety precaution, we
recommend calibration of the unit every
time the system is switched on.
Calibration must also be performed:
A)
when the sensor is replaced
B)
when point-of-use elevation changes by
more than 160 m (500 ft).
We recommend calibration with a 100%
oxygen standard source, at a pressure and
flow similar to your application.
