Step 1: Installation of the Aeon7200A Anesthesia Machine

• Choose a Suitable Location

  • Ensure the space is well-ventilated and close to power outlets.
  • Keep the machine away from moisture and direct sunlight.

• Assemble the Machine

  • Unbox all components carefully.
  • Follow the assembly instructions in the user manual to connect the main components, including the monitor and gas supply tubes.

• Connect Gas Sources

  • Identify the three gas sources: oxygen, nitrous oxide, and air.
  • Connect the 6-tube flowmeters to the corresponding gas supplies. Ensure secure fittings to prevent leaks.

Step 2: Powering On and Initial Setup

• Power the Machine

  • Turn on the main power switch located at the back of the unit.
  • Wait for the system to perform self-check diagnostics.

• Configure Settings on the Touchscreen

  • Select your preferred language.
  • Adjust the display settings for optimal visibility.
  • Set up user preferences for monitoring parameters.

Step 3: Operation Modes

• Understanding Operation Modes

  • Familiarize yourself with the three primary modes:
    • IPPV (Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation): Suitable for patients requiring assistance with breathing.
    • Pressure Mode: Adjusts the pressure of the gas delivered.
    • SIMV (Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation): Allows the patient to breathe spontaneously between machine-delivered breaths.

• Selecting a Mode

  • On the touchscreen, navigate to the operation mode settings.
  • Choose the appropriate mode based on the patient's needs.

Step 4: Calibration of the Machine

• Calibrating Flowmeters

  • Check the flowmeter readings against known standards.
  • Adjust the calibration settings in the maintenance menu if discrepancies arise.

• Spirometry Loop Calibration

  • Use the spirometry feature to assess ventilation effectiveness.
  • Ensure proper calibration by comparing results with established benchmarks.

Step 5: Multi-Gas Monitoring (Optional)

• Setting Up Multi-Gas Monitoring
  • If your model includes this feature, connect the multi-gas sensors to the designated ports.
  • Enable multi-gas monitoring on the touchscreen to provide comprehensive feedback during procedures.

Step 6: Safety Features and AGSS

• Using the Anesthesia Gas Scavenging System (AGSS)

  • Ensure the AGSS is properly connected if available.
  • Monitor the AGSS settings to minimize exposure to waste gases.

• Regular Safety Checks

  • Schedule routine inspections to ensure all safety features are functioning correctly.
  • Keep a log of maintenance and calibration for future reference.
