Before Use - GCE MEDISELECT II Manuel D'utilisation

B INLET PRESSURE INDICATOR OR SENSOR
The regulator is fi tted with a pressure indicator or sensor which is intended
for cylinder gas content indication only, not for measuring purposes. The
pressure indicator or sensor can be equipped with output of electric signal.
The connection of pressure indicator with output of electric signal must be
carried out by trained personnel in accordance with national regulations
pertaining to the electric device and standard EN ISO 7396-1.
Output of electric signal shall be connected only to device which is in
accordance with standard EN ISO 60601-1 and 60601-1-2.
C, D, E FLOW METERING DEVICE AND FLOW OUTLET
GCE regulators can be supplied with a fl ow-metering device - fl ow control
head "C" or fl owmeter "D". This function is used to supply a gas fl ow (l/min)
at atmospheric pressure directly to the patient through the fl ow outlet "E",
e.g. through a cannula or a facemask.
The fl ow outlet "E" can be hose nipple (for cannula or mask) or outlet with
thread (for humidifi er).
F PRESSURE OUTLET
The regulator may be fi tted with a pressure outlet. The pressure outlet is the
outlet directly from the low-pressure chamber. Two types of the pressure
outlet can be used:
Pressure outlet I - is fi tted with a gas specifi c medical quick connector also
called "quick coupler" . The user can connect another piece of equipment
to this outlet with a gas specifi c male probe. The quick connector self seals
when the male probe is disconnected. This outlet is for supplying gas at a
controlled pressure to power medical devices, e.g. medical ventilator.
Pressure outlet II – is fi tted with a threaded connector. The regulator with
this type of pressure outlet shall be only an integral part of a medical
equipment (e.g. emergency ventilators, anaesthesia devices, etc.)
If the regulator is fi tted with two pressure outlets, do not use both of them
at the same time. If you use both of them in the same time the performan-
ce of the regulator will not be according to specifi cation (see appendix 1) !!!
Note also that the product colour (especially fl ow control knob) might not
be gas specifi c colour coded.

6.1. BEFORE USE

6.1.1. VISUAL INSPECTION BEFORE USE
• Check if there is visible external damage to the product (including product
labels and marking) and on the gas cylinder. If it shows signs of external
damages, remove it from service and identify its status.
• Visually check if the product or the medical gas cylinder is contaminated;
if needed, for the regulator, use the cleaning procedure detailed in this
section (if required for the cylinder, refer to the gas cylinder manufacturer
cleaning recommendation).
