After Use - GCE E-MINISTAR Instrucciones De Uso

7.1.2.2. Use of combination valve pressure outlet
• Ensure that the accessory IS NOT connected to the pressure outlet.
• Open slowly the combination shut-off valve by turning slowly the combination control knob
"shut-off valve & fl ow selector" in anticlockwise direction to ON position.
• Connect the accessory to the pressure outlet.
Before connecting any accessory to the pressure outlet make sure that the patient is not con-
nected and the accessory outlet is secured.
If pressure outlet is to be connected to a medical device that requires high gas fl ow (for
instance pulmonary ventilator that requires gas fl ow 100 l/min at the minimum pressure 2.8
bar), compare the required fl ow of connecting medical device with pressure and fl ow charac-
teristics of the combination valve stated in appendix Nr. 1. To assure su cient performance
(pressure and fl ow characteristics of the combination valve ) the medical device should not be
used if the content indicator of Manómetro Digital Display enters the red zone..
Sudden opening could result in a danger of fi re or explosion arising from oxygen pressure
shocks. Insu cient opening of the shut-o valve could reduce actual fl ow delivered.
If a pressure outlet as well as a fl ow outlet are part of the combination valve do not use them
simultaneously, especially if pressure in the cylinder is below 50 bar, in could adversely a ect
the outlet parameters of the combination valve .
