valves may easly be connected n opposton, by error
See secton 52
9 Breathng hoses and bags used wth the absorber must
comply to BS EN ISO 5367 (Hoses) and BS EN ISO 5362
(Breathng Bags) respectvely
10 Do not connect a vacuum systems must not drectly to
the adustable pressure lmtng (APL) valve outlet A
recevng system wth postve and negatve pressure
control functons must be nterposed Systems must
comply wth EN ISO 8835 Part 2 or BS EN ISO 80601-2-
13 See secton 523
11 The APL valve s out of crcut when the system s n
‘Ventlator’ mode The ventlator must be equpped wth a
pressure relef valve
12 Underfllng of the canster can lead to neffcent O
absorpton Overfllng may result n poor sealng of
canster due to cakng of granules and abrason of the
canster and seal See secton 532
13 Anhydrous soda lme s known to react wth some
anaesthetc agents Do not contnue to use an absorbent
f t has been allowed to dry out (or f you suspect t has
dred out) Always replace dred-out absorbent wth a
fresh supply of soda lme
14 Do not use the absorber wthout ensurng that t passes
all pre-use checks See secton 6After servcng and
cleanng procedures, verfy postve acton of the bag/

of the rm of the canster over the outer lp of the seal as
you rotate the lever ant-clockwse to the vertcal, locked-
on poston
Falure to lock the canster n the fully closed poston,
may cause a system leak and/or a reducton n O
absorpton
19 Heater unt (f ftted)
Exteror panels must not be removed by unauthorsed
personnel, and the unt must not be operated wth such
panels mssng
There s a possble electrc shock hazard
20 Portable RF communcatons equpment (ncludng
