following:
• The location of the oxygen supply for the patient, which comes from the
hose connector.

4. Install the facility supplied medical gas hose to the hose connector (C) on
the gas delivery system.
5. Move the flexible tube to position the gas delivery system in an appropriate
location for support of the drapes that go around the patient.
6. Turn the medical gas ON, and check for proper flow.
7. Place the drapes appropriately around the patient and the gas delivery
system.
