In the ambulance gas supply system to which the panel is connected, use
only accessories that comply with valid standards.
6.2. TESTING AFTER INSTALLATION
FUNCTIONAL AND LEAKAGE CHECK AFTER INSTALLATION
•
For the check, use the gas for which the panel is intended, or Air or Ni-
trogen free of any lubricants and with equal medical cleanliness level.
Perform test at pressure specified in chapter 2.
•
Set the pressure to the panel inlet.
•
At versions with gas pressure indicator check its correct function.
•
Check correct function of all quick couplers by connecting the relevant
probe. Perform this check at all fitted quick couplers.
•
Check the gas presence on each outlet; Version with a gas source switch
to be checked at both positions of the handwheel ("1" and "2"). Version
with the MediFlow® selector - check the presence of the gas flow in every
handwheel position.
•
Check the leakage of the panel with connected and disconnected
probes, at version with the gas source switch perform this check at all
positions of the handwheel ("1", "0" and "2"), handwheel of the MediFlow®
selector (if equipped) must be in position "0". For leakage detection GCE
suggest the pressure drop test based on the pressurizing the panel, clos-
ing of the gas source and check if the pressure in gas supply system is
not decreasing.
•
After the end of the check, close the source cylinder shutoff valve, vent
the rest of gas from the supply system, at version with the gas pressure
indicator check if there is indicated zero pressure.
•
Clean the panel and check the condition and presence of all labels and
marking.
Any other installation rules which are not described have to follow stand-
ard EN ISO 7396-1.
If there is found any leakage or defect on the panel, follow instructions
listed in chapter 9.3 and send the panel back to service repair.
After the installation of the panel with cylinder source switch, mark the
stands of the cylinders in a way corresponding with the handwheel posi-
tions „1" and „2". The marking should be in a permanent place where the
cylinders stand, not on the removable cylinder with combination valve or
regulator.
At all medical devices, which are included in ambulance equipment and
are intended to be connected to the panel, the performance should be
checked when they are connected to the panel and supplied by it,when
the cylinder pressure is low,to check its compatibility.
