Connecting the backup gas cylinders
Figure 23. Cylinder Yoke Locations
The Apollo is equipped with ANSI standard pin-
indexed hanger yokes for E-size cylinders to connect
backup gas cylinders to the anesthesia machine. The
yoke for O
2 is standard, the yokes for N2O and Air
are optional. All cylinder yokes are located on the
back of the machine as shown in Figure 23.
CAUTION!
Risk of gas supply failure
Should the pipeline gas supply fail, the backup gas
cylinders on the anesthesia machine will provide a
reserve gas supply.
To prevent a complete gas failure, the backup gas
cylinders should remain on the device, valves
closed, in reserve even if the anesthesia machine is
connected to pipeline gas supply.
WARNING!
Risk of gas supply failure
When attaching a cylinder, ensure that only one
washer is installed between the cylinder and the
yoke gas inlet. The use of multiple washers will
inhibit the pin-index safety system. Be sure to
verify the presence of the index pins each time a
cylinder is installed. Never attempt to override
the pin-index safety system.
WARNING!
Risk of supply failure
If pressure reducers not having the required
sensors and measurement features are used
instead of Dräger pressure reducers, backup
gas cylinders and their fill levels will not be
subject to alarm and monitoring functionalities
during the power-on self test and operation.
Without this monitoring, in the event of a loss of
the pipeline gas supply, the backup functionality
of the backup gas cylinders may not be
available. If monitoring for the remaining
capacity of the backup gas cylinders is not
available, the user must take other equivalent
measures.
