Installation and Connection
Gas inlet connections are located on the back panel of the system base. The air inlet
connector incorporates an externally mounted water trap. Depress the valve on the
bottom of the water trap to empty any water.
Note:
See Additional Information, System Components for selections of color-coded
hoses and wall supply adapters.
CAUTION:
The oxygen and air supplies must both be connected (or
disconnected) to prevent unequal pressure from damaging the gas blender.
To connect gas hoses:
1. Connect oxygen gas line from the oxygen source to the oxygen inlet.
2. Connect medical grade air line from the air source to the air inlet.
•
An optional 95/5 supply hose allows this mixture to replace the medical grade air.
The hose with the 6 inch (15.2 cm) adaptor section must be properly connected
to the water trap and to the 95/5 gas source.
3. Turn source gases on.
WARNING: Provide inlet gases at a pressure of 50 ± 20 psi with the difference
between the two pressures being no more than 18 psi. Observe the CCM for
messages indicating variations in inlet pressures or an inadequate gas supply.
4. Gather the necessary components and 1/4 inch (6,4 mm) I.D. medical grade
tubing to make the connections to the oxygenator.
WARNING: Always use a 0.2 micron medical gas filter on the gas outlet line to
prevent contaminating the extracorporeal circuit.
