WARNING
Risk of fire
Leaking or faulty pressure reducers, e.g., with a
damaged sealing ring, may lead to malfunc-
tions of the connected device.
Check the pressure reducer for damage before
installation.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Oil and grease may react violently with some
compressed gases.
Keep the pressure reducer and connected de-
vices clean and free of oil and grease.
Do not oil or grease connectors, such as valves
of compressed gas cylinders and pressure re-
ducers, and do not touch with greasy hands.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
Before connecting the pressure reducer, make
sure that the gas type of the pressure reducer
and of the gas cylinder match.
WARNING
Risk of damage to the device and of personal in-
jury
Prevent gas cylinders with pressure reducers
from being damaged:
– Secure gas cylinders from tipping over.
– Do not apply external forces or loads.
– Protect gas cylinders from heat.

Safety notes for handling oxygen
WARNING
Risk of fire due to pressure surges
Open and close valves of compressed gas
cylinders only slowly and evenly by hand. Do
not use any tools.
WARNING
Risk of fire
O intensifies every combustion.
2
No smoking, no open flames.
Safety notes for handling nitrous oxide
WARNING
Risk of personal injury
N O has a strong anaesthetic effect. High con-
2
centrations can lead to a shortage of oxygen
and cessation of breathing.
Ensure adequate ventilation.
WARNING
Risk of fire
N O intensifies every combustion.
2
No smoking, no open flames.
Safety notes for handling carbon dioxide
WARNING
Risk of personal injury
If unapproved compressed gas cylinders and
pressure reducers are used, accidents may oc-
cur.
Use only officially approved compressed gas
cylinders that comply with all federal, state, and
local regulations.
WARNING
Risk of high CO concentrations in ambient air
2
High CO concentrations in ambient air can
2
lead to personal injury and patient injury.
In order to maintain low ambient CO
trations, always provide adequate room ventila-
tion and use scavenging systems or absorber
systems when working with CO

Safety notes for pressure reducers
The gas lines of devices that are connected to pres-
sure reducers have to be designed to withstand at
least twice the rated output pressure.
WARNING
Risk of personal injury
The pressure reducer is equipped with an inter-
nal relief valve. In case of a fault, medical gas
may escape into the ambient air.
Do not obstruct or cover the relief valve.
The relief valve does not protect connected de-
vices from excessively high output pressure.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
The pressure reducer is not equipped with a
pressure gauge to measure the output pres-
sure.
If monitoring of the output pressure is required
during operation, the monitoring must be done
through the connected device.
Further information on national regulations
The corresponding national regulations on the han-
dling of the following gases must be observed:
