A200SP Absorber 2 User Manual
1 . Warnings and Cautions
The following WARNINGS and CAUTIONS must be read and
understood before using this Anaesthetic Apparatus
WARNINGS
1. Personnel must make themselves familiar with the
contents of this manual and the function of the A200SP
Absorber before use.
2. Trichloroethylene must not be used in association with
soda lime.
3. This unit is restricted to use with non-flammable
anaesthetic agents only.
4. The A200SP Absorber must only be used when securely
mounted in an upright position.
a) The inspiratory and expiratory non-return valves
(NRV) are gravity operated See section 3.2.
b) Spillage of absorbent may contaminate the breathing
system. See section 5.1.
5. To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must
only be connected to a mains supply with a protective
earth.
6. To isolate the machine from the mains power supply,
disconnect the mains cable from the mains power outlet.
Always use an easily accessible mains power outlet.
7. This device must not be altered or modified in any way
without the written approval of Penlon Limited.
Before using the absorber
8. Breathing system connection: Do not use a patient
Y-piece containing non-return valves. Usage with the
Absorber is hazardous, because two sets of non-return
valves may easily be connected in opposition, by error.
See section 5.2.
9. Breathing hoses and bags used with the absorber must
comply to BS EN ISO 5367 (Hoses) and BS EN ISO 5362
(Breathing Bags) respectively.
10. Do not connect a vacuum systems must not directly to
the adjustable pressure limiting (APL) valve outlet. A
receiving system with positive and negative pressure
control functions must be interposed. Systems must
comply with EN ISO 8835 Part 2 or BS EN ISO 80601-2-
13. See section 5.2.3.
11. The APL valve is out of circuit when the system is in
‘Ventilator’ mode. The ventilator must be equipped with a
pressure relief valve.
12. Underfilling of the canister can lead to inefficient CO2
absorption. Overfilling may result in poor sealing of
canister due to caking of granules and abrasion of the
canister and seal. See section 5.3.2.
13. Anhydrous soda lime is known to react with some
anaesthetic agents. Do not continue to use an absorbent
if it has been allowed to dry out (or if you suspect it has
dried out). Always replace dried-out absorbent with a
fresh supply of soda lime.
14. Do not use the absorber without ensuring that it passes
all pre-use checks. See section 6.After servicing and
cleaning procedures, verify positive action of the bag/
ventilator selector switch before the unit is used
clinically.
Check that at all times that the switch is free to move
from one end of its travel to the other.
Using the absorber
15. Condensation, which may collect in the bottom of the
absorber canister is caustic and care must be taken not
to spill it on the skin when draining. See section 7.3.
16. Kinking of the fresh gas hose is a known cause of
anaesthetic accident. The use of an unsuitable hose
assembly can contribute to this situation.
See section 3.5.
17. Any system utilising the A200SP absorber must be fitted
with:
a) An oxygen monitor complying with ISO/IEC 80601-2-
55.
b) A carbon dioxide monitor complying with ISO/IEC
80601-2-55.
c) A minute volume monitor.
d) A breathing system integrity alarm.
18. Refitting the canister:
The canister seals at the top face. Maintain the position
of the rim of the canister over the outer lip of the seal as
you rotate the lever anti-clockwise to the vertical, locked-
on position.
Failure to lock the canister in the fully closed position,
may cause a system leak and/or a reduction in CO2
absorption.
19. Heater unit (if fitted):
Exterior panels must not be removed by unauthorised
personnel, and the unit must not be operated with such
panels missing.
There is a possible electric shock hazard.
20. Portable RF communications equipment (including
peripherals such as antenna cables and external
antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12
inches) to any part of this device, including cables
specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of
the performance of this equipment could result.
21. You must only use non-conductive breathing system
hoses. Breathing hoses must not have electrically
conductive properties.
22. This machine is not suitable for use in oxygen-rich
environment.
23. Do not touch any electrical device connector at the same
time as the patient.
