II. STARTING UP / INSTALLATION
II. 1.
Use in direct oxygen therapy.
a - Ensure that the switch (1) is in the 0 position.
b - If used with a humidifier:
Unscrew the flask and fill it with water up to the line (see the humidifier instruc-
tions). Then screw the humidifier flask onto its lid until there are no leaks from it.
c - Connect the oxygen administration tube to the
humidifier outlet nozzle or
connect the administration nasal cannulas onto the
concentrator. The
tube between the patient and the QUIETLIFE 5 should
be less than 15 metres long, in order to ensure that
the oxygen flow rate remains satisfactory.
d - Ensure that all of the parts are connected correctly so as to avoid leaks.
e - Plug the power cable into a mains socket.
f - Press the switch to the start position - I . An alarm
operating test is carried out automatically when the
machine is switched on (this test lasts about 5 sec-
onds).
g - Turn the flow adjustment knob (6) to the prescribed
value.
h - Check that the oxygen flows out of the administra-
tion device (nasal cannulas or other) by placing the orifice(s) on the surface of a
glass of water. The flow should disturb the surface of the water.
i - Adjust the nasal cannulas or mask to suit your face.
Remark: the optimal oxygen concentration is obtained about ten minutes after the
device is switched on (90% of the concentration is obtained after around 5
minutes).
At the end of the treatment, press the push button (1) to place it in the 0 position
to stop the device. The oxygen enriched air flow continues for approximately 1
minute after the device is stopped.
For the technician or medical staff:
The flow adjustment knob may be locked to limit it to a given range of values or
released. (See procedure in the maintenance manual).
