5 Operation
Overview
This section provides the procedures and information needed to successfully operate your EX3000
Anesthesia System.
WARNING! CAUTION!
Only trained veterinary professionals should operate the EX3000 Anesthesia
System.
Pre-use Checkout
Perform the pre-use checkout procedure before each use of your EX3000 as follows:
1. Fill the vaporizers and tighten the filler caps.
2. Confirm that the CO
2
absorbent canister is full and that absorbent has not expired. Refill the
canister with fresh absorbent if necessary.
3. Ensure the anesthesia system is connected to AC power and 50 psi oxygen source.
4. Confirm proper function of the inspiration and expiration valves as follows:
a. Connect a breathing bag to the end of an F-circuit (Figure 4-4) to simulate a lung.
b. Observe the inspiration and expiration valves while squeezing the breathing bag. Each valve
should move freely and seal when pressure to the valve is applied.
5. Confirm the oxygen supply as follows:
a. Ensure that the oxygen source has sufficient reserve to supply oxygen for the duration of the
case.
b. Ensure that no other O
2
delivery device is using the same cylinder and then note the pressure
level in the cylinder.
c. Turn the oxygen cylinder valve on and then off again. Cylinder pressure should not drop more
than 50 psi in 2 minutes. If pressure drops, there is a leak. Immediately call for maintenance.
6. Turn ON (
I
) the anesthesia system and allow it to go through its self-test. If a warning message
indicates that any of the anesthesia system’s systems did not pass, refer to Section 6 –
Troubleshooting .
7. Perform a pressure leak test as specified in Section 6 – Troubleshooting .
8. Check the waste gas scavenging system for a rebreathing circuit as follows:
a. Connect the scavenging system hose to the pop-off valve.
Note : Do not connect the scavenging hose from a non-rebreathing circuit to the pop-off valve.
b. Connect the scavenger system hose to an active scavenging system or passive scavenging
system (e.g., charcoal filter).
c. Verify that exhaust gases from the anesthesia system are traveling unrestricted via the
scavenger tubing to the outdoors if using an active system or to the charcoal canister if using a
passive system.
9. Install a clean rebreathing circuit (reference Figure 4-5) and breathing bag on the anesthesia system.
