1 General Information
The Medical Equipment Regulations (MedGV), and the law on technical medical working materials (MPBetreibV) stipulate that the attention of the operator must be drawn to the following:
The operation of the Unit must be carried out only by qualified personnel. Exact knowledge and understanding of the Operating Instructions is a pre-conditioned for operation.
Use of the equipment is solely for that as stipulated in the Operating Instructions.
Inspections and servicing must be duly entered in the Logbook of the Unit. The Equipment must be inspected at regular intervals by qualified personnel only.
F.Stephan GmbH stipulates a half-yearly inspection and maintenance by one of its authorized Service Technicians.
Before each use of the unit, a complete function test of the unit must be carried out. In the case on medico.technical devices with electrical connection, the standards of particular VDE 0751 and IEC 601 must be closely complied with. According to these standards, such devices may only be set up and put into operation by the manufacturer or his expressedly authorized technician or dealership.
Unit equipped with a pressure reducer should undergo a basic overhaul at least every 5 years for reasons of safety.
An emergency ventilation system (e.g. Ambu-Bag) must always be in close proximity of the unit.
F. Stephan shall assume no responsibility or liability for any damage or defects arising from non-observance of the above-mentioned information.
2 Technical Description
Driven by customer requests and requirements, the ARTEC model series had been designed and developed as a compact universal version. At the same time high qualitystandards and maximum economy has been achieved.
The elementary structure ensures a good overview and quick allocation and adjustment of parameters for the respective unit components. The ARTEC anesthesia unit is an inhalation anesthesia unit that is equipped with a anesthesia agent specific vaporizer for use in a semi-closed system
The unit consists of a basic housing of stainless steel in which a drawer is provided. Located above that is the gas-mix unit (GME, with which the available medical gases O2, N2O and (optional) compressed air can be dosaged.
The GME consists of an integrated pneumatic unit with relvant safety valves providing for N20 block and O2 deficiency signal and the dosage unit for the above-mentioned medical gases.
On the right-hand side, an anesthesia agent specific vaporizer can be mounted on special mounting racks ( one or two-fold).
Located on the basic unit and depending on model, there is provided a stainless steel shelf for additional monitoring or a ventilation module with integrated monitoring.
On the reverse side of the unit there are standard connections for gas supply linea and depending on model, holding racks for reserve bottles with integrated high-pressure reducers.
The unit is also equipped with four plug sockets for electrical power supply for additional monitors. These sockets are constantly supplied with current regardless of the Ventilators ON/OFF power supply status.
2.1 Possible Expansion and Upgrading of the Unit
Basic Model
The ARTEC basic model is suitable for wall mounting. For such mounting, the mounting rails of the basic unit ar attached to the V2A rails.
For wall mounting, exact vertical mounting of the unit must be strictly observed, otherwise inexact mounting could lead to falsh measuring results of gas flows. An adjustable distancer device provides a precise alignment of the unit.
Unit Model with Mobile Stand
The unit can be mounted on a mobile stand that enables and ensures variable site operation.
The basic unit can be mounted on the mobile stand profile (80x30) by tightening the four mounting bolts. The mobile stand can be equipped with a stand-alone oxygen, compressed air and vacuum generator module 'STAXEL'
Gas Supply:
The unit is designed with a central gas supply coupling connection. A set of hoses is supplied with the unit for the three types of gases O2, N2O and compressed air ( if air is provided).
Gas supply can either be via a central gas supply network, or via bottle supply with 10 litre bottles O2 and N2O. To ensure uninterrupted gas supply, in the
