Initial checks
•
Ensure that all couplings are correctly connected.
Putting on the apparatus
•
Put the 'BIOLINE block' low down on the user's back then tighten the belt of the device.
•
Put the breathing mask in place (see instructions for using the breathing mask), (Figure 4a)
•
Check that the breathing mask is sealed (see instructions for using the breathing mask), (Figure 4b)
•
Connect the quick coupling between the FENZY BIOLINE and the air source.
•
Snap the demand valve onto the Air Klic connector of the respiratory mask (see section on demand valve), (Figure 4c)
•
The breathing apparatus is ready for use.
It is strongly recommended that another person is asked to check the demand valve connection
by ensuring, and this is vital, that the locking devices (Air Klic) is correctly engaged in the
groove on the mask connector.
Use
Breath normally during use
The FENZY BIOLINE cannot operate independently if the compressed air supply is interrupted;
we do not recommend its use in areas immediately dangerous to the user's life.
In a difficult or emergency situation (e.g. wounds or breathing difficulties), if the user needs
additional breathable air, just press the bypass button on the demand valve cover to increase the
flow rate of breathable air arriving in the mask.
After use
•
Snap the demand valve off by pressing on both Air Klic buttons at the same time, tipping the head slightly backwards (see section
on demand valve).
•
If using the SX-PRO demand valve, set the first inhalation mechanism to the closed position by pressing sideways on the first
breath button (refer to the section on demand valve).
•
Fix the demand valve on its bracket
•
Remove the respiratory mask (see instructions for using the mask).
•
Vent the circuit by pressing the demand valve bypass button.
•
Detach the belt from the device.
•
Disconnect the 'BIOLINE block' and pipe from the medium pressure compressed air source.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Cleaning, disinfecting and drying
Cleaning
Any soiled and/or polluted elements of the breathing apparatus are to be cleaned after each use.
Clean them with a sponge and warm water adding a cleaning agent (soapy solution) and rinse with a clean damp sponge.
Check that the cleaning agent chosen does not contain any corrosive components (for example:
organic solvents) likely to attack perishable components and that no liquid or dirt enters cavities
in the apparatus.
Do not introduce a compressed air jet into the cavities containing fragile components such as
diaphragms, springs, valves or seals, so as to not damage them.
Disinfecting
After cleaning, the respiratory mask must be disinfected by immersing it in a bath with a disinfecting agent. If you follow the concentration
and application time for the disinfectant stated in the instructions for using masks, there is no reason to be concerned about any adverse
effects on the different materials. After disinfecting, rinse immediately with clean water to remove any residues of the disinfectant
product.
Drying
After cleaning and disinfecting are completed, dry all the parts of the apparatus at a temperature from 5° C to 50° C. Avoid any form of
heat radiation (sunlight, oven or central heating). It is strongly advisable to clean pressure conducting parts (air pressure reducing
system and coupling sensor) with a low-pressure jet of compressed air in order to eliminate any trace of humidity.
When using it in cold conditions, any moisture present in the demand valve can result in the formation of frost inside the
valve and consequently affect its operation.
It is essential to remove all traces of moisture inside the demand valve and the medium pressure hose.
The valve must also be dried after cleaning it.
Never throw a compressed-air respiratory device to the ground
