Check the MINC and all items immediately upon receipt to make sure the contents are complete and that nothing
is damaged. The manufacturer will only honour claims for compensation which are forwarded immediately to the
sales representative or the authorised service agent.
Remove all items from plastic covers except the Disposable Humidification Flask which needs to be handled under
sterile conditions (refer to § 3.8).
3.2 You need to supply
• A clean source of mains power to supply the MINC. Cook Medical strongly recommends the use of a UPS with
power conditioning capabilities suitable for your local power supply system.
• Premixed medical grade gas cylinders. All gas concentrations should be within ±0.2% and cylinders should be
supplied with a certificate of analysis, refer to § 3.7.1.
• A single stage high purity gas regulator capable of supplying the gas listed above at 150 kPa (1.5 bar, 22 psi) to
the MINC inlet, refer to § 3.7.2.
• Automatic gas cylinder change over unit. Cook Medical strongly recommends the use of automatic change over
units to ensure continuity of gas supply.
• A source of sterile distilled water.
• A pressure manometer (to measure the device input gas supply pressure). This item is not required if the regulator
has gas output display gauges.
• A 9/16” spanner.
• If a longer gas connecting hose is required, contact your Cook Medical representative.
• A computer suitable to install and run the K-MINC-1000 Logger Software on.
• A USB hub for connecting multiple (up to a maximum of 10) MINC’s to a single computer.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To reduce
the risk of damage to the MINC, the
use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply
(UPS) with power conditioning
capabilities is strongly recommended.
Furthermore, to ensure uninterrupted
device functionality, the use of
the following is also strongly
recommended:
• An automatic gas cylinder changeover
unit that can maintain a minimum
pressure of 135 kPa.
• A remote alarm to alert staff to any
failures in the gas or power supply.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
It is
important to retain packaging for
future use. (Refer to §6.5 - Return
Procedure)

testing authority for use with USB and
Remote Alarm Cables of less than
