Installation
Permanent mounting is usually necessary only when
MEDUMAT Easy CPR is installed as a fixture in rescue
vehicles, helicopters or aircraft.
If MEDUMAT Easy CPR is supplied complete on a
carrying platform or in an emergency rucksack, it is
ready for use and requires no further installation.
Separate directions for use are supplied for carrying
platforms and emergency rucksacks.
In order to ensure safe and reliable operation, func-
tional tests must be carried out after installation (see
"7. Functional check" on page 47).
Always wash your hands thoroughly before starting
any work on the oxygen supply. Products containing
hydrocarbons (e.g. oils, greases, alcohols, hand
creams, sticking plasters) may cause explosive reac-
tions if they come into contact with high-pressure
oxygen.
Never use wrenches or similar tools to tighten or
loosen the screw connections.
Removing the empty cylinder
1. Close the valve of the oxygen cylinder.
Switch on MEDUMAT Easy CPR with ON/OFF
switch. This exhausts any residual oxygen and
depressurizes the ventilator. Wait until the pres-
sure gauge on the pressure reducer shows 0 bar
before undoing the screw connection by hand.
2. Switch off MEDUMAT Easy CPR again.
