Cables and
Leads Inspect the patient cables and leads and their strain reliefs for general
condition. Examine cables carefully to detect breaks in the insulation
and to ensure that they are gripped securely in the connectors of each
end to prevent rotation or other strain.
To ensure operation of the Anesthetic Gas Module within specified
limits:
• calibrate the Anesthetic Gas Module at least once every 12
months, or whenever the validity of the readings is in doubt.
• check the ventilator fan in the Anesthetic Gas Module for proper
operation every 6 months.
All checks which require the instrument to be opened must be made by
qualified hospital service personnel. Safety and maintenance checks can
also be made by Philips personnel.
Warning Warning
Failure on the part of the responsible individual hospital or
institution employing the use of this equipment to implement a
