Chapter 3 Installation and Connection
Prepare the instrument and other compatible equipment (shown in the “System
chart” in the Appendix) before each use.
Refer to the instruction manuals for each piece of equipment. Install and connect
all equipment as follows:
3.1
Installation of the UHI-3 main unit
• Never place the unit on its side or upside down.
• If the unit is to be placed on a cart, the cart must be of
adequate strength and size to safely hold it.
• Position the patient port of the insufflator and as much of the
associated tubing as is practical above the insufflation site, to
prevent patient fluids from inadvertently entering the tubing.
Placing the tubing below the insufflation site may cause
patient fluid to drain into the insufflator due to gravity.
• Place the instruction manual near the UHI-3 or in another
easily accessible location.
1.
Make sure that operation of the insufflator will take place in accordance with
the precautions described in “Dangers, warnings and cautions” on page 6.
2.
Place the UHI-3 main unit on a level, stable work surface.
