*for inner tightness of the shut-off valve, during transport and storage of the combination valve
mounted on a cylinder, the valid lower temperature limit is -40°C.
**maximal touch temperature of the cylinder is +45°C.
In case of combination valve storage at temperature below -20°C do not use the combination
valve until its temperature reaches at least -20°C.
For the combination valves designed to be used with mixture of gases O2+N2O, the lowest
operating temperature is +5°C. In normal use of the combination valve, frosting can appear on
the combination valve surface, which is caused by the gas inside the combination valve when
high pressure in the combination valve cooling when high pressure gas is being reduced to
low pressure (Joule-Thomson e ect). Check that all patient associated equipment connected
to the combination valve is via a hose of at least 2 metres length.
O2+N2O mixtures are temperature sensitive. N2O begins to separate out from the mixture if
the temperature falls below about -6°C. A homogenous mixture is again obtained when the
temperature has raised above 10°C and the cylinder was agitated. Before use, to ensure it is
properly mixed, cylinders should be stored horizontally for 24 hours at a temperature above
10°C. If this is not practicable, before use the cylinders must be maintained at a temperature
above 10°C for at least 2 hours and then completely inverted three times or placed in warm
water at body temperature for 5 minutes and then completely inverted three times.

5. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Combination valve combines the function of shut-off valve of a high pressure gas cylinder and
pressure regulator for the use with medical gases. Gas from the cylinder is fi rst controlled by
the main shut-off valve and then passed through the pressure regulator and fi nally delivered to
the patient through the fl ow outlet or the pressure outlet. Outlet positive pressure is fi xed by the
manufacturer and each combination valve is provided with a low-pressure relief valve to protect
against undesirable exceeding of outlet pressure.
There are two basic alternatives:
Valve outlet via calibrated nozzles, outlet fl ows can be changed by the control knob
Valve outlet via quick-coupler (the outlet fl ow is a constant one) in combination with valve
outlet via calibrated nozzles where outlet fl ows can be changed by the control knob
A  INLET STEM
The combination valve is fi tted to gas cylinder by a threaded inlet stem. The inlet stem can
be taper threaded or parallel threaded with diff erent size depending on the cylinder size and
material.
B  FILLING PORT
A fi lling port is provided for fi lling the gas cylinder at a fi lling station, it has no function for
patient use. It includes a non-return valve (NRV). The NRV means that special fi lling adaptors
are required to vent gas from the cylinder during the fi lling process (venting and/or vacuuming
of cylinders).

‘X.Y’ is a coding identifying the hardware
version (X) and software version (Y). ‘ZZZ‘
is a coding of inlet pressure for which the
Manómetro Digital Display shall be used.
For more information see Chapter 6 -
Manómetro Digital Display.
D  COMBINATION CONTROL KNOB
“SHUTOFF VALVE & FLOW SELECTOR“
The valve is fi tted with combination control
knob for valve turning-on/off and setting of
particular fl ows. The valve is turned on by
anticlockwise rotation from OFF position
to ON position. Particular fl ows are set by
further anticlockwise rotation. The shut-off
valve is turned off by clockwise rotation to
OFF position.
E  RESIDUAL PRESSURE VALVE
Combination valve is equipped with a residual pressure valve with function to retain a minimum
positive pressure in the gas cylinder to avoid contamination of the cylinder content by
atmospheric air. During cylinder gas ventilation through the fi lling port the residual pressure
valve is by passed.
F, G  FLOW CONTROL HEAD “F” AND FLOW OUTLET “G” OPTION
Combination valve is delivered with a fl ow control head “F”.This function is used to supply
adjustable gas fl ow rates (l/min) at atmospheric pressure directly to a patient through the fl ow
outlet “G”, for instance through a cannula or a facemask. The fl ow outlet “G“ is equipped with
hose fi tting (hose nipple) or a threaded type (for accessories to be connected via threaded
connection).
Movement of the fl ow outlet ‘G’ is normal due to the method of fi xing in the main body. It doesn’t
indicate a faulty fl ow outlet.
H  PRESSURE OUTLET  QUICK COUPLER OR PURGE VALVE OPTION
The pressure outlet is the outlet direct from the low-pressure part of the valve and it is fi tted with
a specifi c quick connector or purge valve.
In the use of the valve with quick connector also called ”quick coupler“ (see appendix Nr 2) the
user can connect another piece of equipment to quick coupler with a gas specifi c male probe
– quick-coupler probe. Its disconnection means self-sealing of the quick connector. This outlet
is for supplying gas at a controlled pressure to power medical devices, for instance medical
ventilator.
The valve without the quick coupler is provided with purge valve that is used to vent residual
pressure in the low-pressure part of the valve.
I  BURSTING DISC
The bursting disc is placed above the residual pressure vale E. It is a safety device which
prevents over-pressurization of the low pressure area of the valve.

J  PRESSURE RELIEVE VALVE OF LOW PRESSURE PART
Pressure relieve valve secures the low pressure part of combination valve and connected
medical devices against over-pressure. If the gas pressure is decreased enough after the
pressure relieve valve activation, it will closes itself.
K  EXCESS FLOW DEVICE OR DIP TUBE OPTION
Excess fl ow device ensures safe ventilation of gas from gas cylinder in case the combination
valve is broken above inlet stem (e.g. cylinder fall). Dip tube does not have such function. Excess
ow device and dip tube are to avoid contamination from cylinder entering the combination
valve. Dip tube also serves for fi xing the sensor.
L  GUARD
The guard is an integral part of the E-Ministar. The guard consists of two halves assembled
together to the gas cylinder. In one half of the guard is secured Manómetro Digital Display.
Note: Colour of the product (especially guard and combination control knob) does not have
to match the gas colour coding.

6.4. DIGITAL DISPLAY OVERVIEW
A. Gas content indicator (H)
The segmented bar indicates how full the cylinder is according to the scale.
The content scale is divided into 13 segments as follows:
Between 0 (Empty) and ¼ the scale is divided into four segments – Red area
Between ¼ and ½ the scale is divided into three segments – Yellow area
Between ½ and 1 (Full), the scale is divided into six segments – Green area
B. Cylinder content and time remaining indication (N1 and N2)
This gives the remaining time available for treatment at the current fl ow rate.
This is only displayed when the valve is open and gas is fl owing:
When the fl ow rate is altered, the actual gas fl ow will change immediately, but the treatment
time remaining will need to be recalculated. During the remaining-time calculation the cylinder
content in litres (LTR) ‘N1’ is visible and the ‘L/MIN’ icon, label ‘I’ on digital display, blinks to
indicate that the remaining time calculation is in progress
If the display shows “--:--” (without the Alert icon ‘L’ being displayed) then it indicates a system
fault. Please contact the gas package owner.

7. USE OF PRODUCT
7.1. OPERATIONS PERFORMED BY USER
7.1.1. BEFORE USE
Visual inspection before use:
Check the combination valve for damage (incl. label and marking). If it shows signs of external
damages, remove the product from service and suitably identify its status.
Visually check the combination valve for contamination. If needed, apply the cleaning
procedure according to chapter 9.
Check if pressure is indicated on the content indicator of Manómetro Digital Display. If content
indicator of Manómetro Digital Display enters red zone, return the medical package (cylinder
with valve) for its refi lling.
Leak-tight and functional test before use:
Open slowly the combination shut-off valve by turning slowly the combination control knob
“shut-off valve & fl ow selector“ in anticlockwise direction to ON position.
By listening check for a leakage (the leakage would be heard as characteristic hiss of fl owing
gas).
Check that there is a gas fl ow at each “fl ow selector“ set position in both anticlockwise and
clockwise turning direction (for instance by sound or checking presence of bubbles in a
humidifi er)..
Turn off at the shut-off valve by turning the combination control knob “shut-off valve & fl ow
selector“ in a clockwise direction to OFF position. Do not use excessive force (Maximum
recommended closing torque is 3 Nm).
For combination valves fi tted with pressure outlet, ensure it is in working condition by
connecting and disconnecting quick-coupler probe.
If any leakage is detected, apply the procedure described in Chapter 7.1.3. and return the
valve for service.
Sudden opening could result in a danger of fi re or explosion arising from oxygen pressure
shocks.
7.1.2. USE OF COMBINATION VALVE
7.1.2.1. Use of combination valve fl ow outlet and setting of fl ow
Ensure that the accessory is connected to the fl ow outlet.
Open slowly the combination control knob “shut-off valve & fl ow selector“ in anticlockwise
direction to ON position.
Set the combination control knob "shut-off valve & fl ow selector" on one required fl ow rate.
Before connecting any accessory to the fl ow outlet make sure that the patient is not con-
nected.
Sudden opening could result in a danger of fi re or explosion arising from oxygen pressure
shocks.
Always ensure that the combination control knob "shut-o valve & fl ow selector" has been
engaged and not placed between two settings otherwise the fl ow control head will not deliver
correct fl ow of medical gas.
On fl ow control head, each valve is provided with so-called "end stop" located downstream
the maximum fl ow position. Do not try to apply excessive force on the combination control
knob "shut-o valve & fl ow selector" when it stops on the maximum fl ow position during an-
ticlockwise rotation.
Medical gas fl ow rate must be prescribed by a doctor.

EN
7.1.2.2. Use of combination valve pressure outlet
Ensure that the accessory IS NOT connected to the pressure outlet.
Open slowly the combination shut-off valve by turning slowly the combination control knob
“shut-off valve & fl ow selector“ in anticlockwise direction to ON position.
Connect the accessory to the pressure outlet.
Before connecting any accessory to the pressure outlet make sure that the patient is not con-
nected and the accessory outlet is secured.
If pressure outlet is to be connected to a medical device that requires high gas fl ow (for
instance pulmonary ventilator that requires gas fl ow 100 l/min at the minimum pressure 2.8
bar), compare the required fl ow of connecting medical device with pressure and fl ow charac-
teristics of the combination valve stated in appendix Nr. 1. To assure su cient performance
(pressure and fl ow characteristics of the combination valve ) the medical device should not be
used if the content indicator of Manómetro Digital Display enters the red zone..
Sudden opening could result in a danger of fi re or explosion arising from oxygen pressure
shocks. Insu cient opening of the shut-o valve could reduce actual fl ow delivered.
If a pressure outlet as well as a fl ow outlet are part of the combination valve do not use them
simultaneously, especially if pressure in the cylinder is below 50 bar, in could adversely a ect
the outlet parameters of the combination valve .
7.1.3. AFTER USE
1. Turn the combination Combination Control Knob ‘Shut-off valve & Flow Selector’ D’ in a
clockwise direction to the OFF position. Do not use excessive force. Do not use excessive force
(Maximum recommended closing torque is 3 Nm).

3. REQUERIMIENTOS OPERACIONALES, DE TRANSPORTE Y
DE SEGURIDAD DE ALMACENAJE
Mantenga el producto y sus accesorios alejados de:
fuentes de calor (fuego, cigarrillos, …),
materiales infl amables,
aceite o grasa, (incluyendo cremas de manos),
agua,
polvo.
No deje caer el producto y evite siempre que sea posible cualquier caída del producto y sus
equipos agregados.
Mantener siempre los estándares de limpieza para el oxígeno.
Usar el producto y sus accesorios únicamente en áreas bien ventiladas.
Antes de su primer aplicación debe estar el producto en su embalaje original. En caso de ser
retirado el producto del servicio (a causa del transporte, del almacenaje), GCE recomienda usar
el embalaje original (incluso los materiales para llenar el inerior).
Es necesario observar las leyes nacionales, los reglamentos y regulaciones para gases
medicinales, la prevención de accidentes y la protección del medio ambiente.

10 / 100 % 10 / 100 %
600 / 1200 mbar 600 / 1200 mbar
*A efectos de la estanqueidad interna de la válvula de corte la temperatura mínima no debe
descender de -40 °C al transportar y almacenar la válvula combinada montada sobre la botella.
** La temperatura máxima de contacto del cilindro es de + 45 °C.
Si se almacena la válvula combinada a una temperatura inferior a -20 °C, no se deberá usar la
válvula antes de que la temperatura haya ascendido a -20 °C como mínimo.
En el caso de las válvulas combinadas aptas para mezclas de O2 y N2O, la temperatura
mínima de funcionamiento es +5 °C. En el funcionamiento normal de la válvula combinada
puede formarse escarcha en su superfi cie, por el efecto de refrigeración que se produce en
el interior de la válvula combinada, por el paso del gas de alta presión a baja presión (efecto
Joule-Thomson). Por ello, se verifi cará que todas las conexiones de un equipo a la válvula
combinada, y que estén además en contacto con un paciente, se hagan mediante una man-
guera de 2 m de longitud como mínimo.
Las mezclas de O2 y N2O son sensibles a la temperatura, pues el N2O empieza a separarse
de la mezcla cuando la temperatura desciende de -6 °C. Se puede volver a obtener una mez-
cla homogénea elevando la temperatura por encima de 10 °C y agitando la botella. Antes de
usarla y para asegurarse de que el contenido está debidamente mezclado, la botella se debe
mantener almacenada en posición horizontal durante 24 horas a una temperatura superior
a 10 °C. Si esto no es viable, antes de ser usada la botella se mantendrá a una temperatura
superior a 10 °C durante al menos dos horas y, a continuación, se invertirá por completo tres
veces; como método alternativo, se introducirá en agua caliente a temperatura corporal du-
rante cinco minutos, para a continuación ser invertida por completo tres veces.

4. INSTRUCCIONES PERSONAL
Según la directiva 93/42/EEC para dispositivos médicos, el propietario del producto deberá
asegurarse, que todos los usuarios tengan las instrucciones de uso y los datos técnicos.
No utilice el producto sin familiarizarse debidamente con el producto y su funcionamiento
seguro, así como se defi ne en las Instrucciones de uso. Asegúrese de que el usuario tenga la
información adecuada y el conocimiento requerido para el gas utilizado.
5. DESCRIPCIÓN DEL PRODUCTO
La válvula combinada combina el funcionamiento de una válvula de corte para botella de gas a
alta presión y el de un regulador de presión para el empleo de gases de uso clínico. El gas de
la botella se controla en primera instancia con la válvula de corte principal, a continuación pasa
a través del regulador de presión y se suministra fi nalmente al paciente a través de la descarga
de caudal o de la descarga de presión. La presión de suministro positiva la fi ja el fabricante;
todas las válvulas combinadas están equipadas con una válvula de seguridad de baja presión
para protegerlas de la avería del regulador de presión.
El sistema se ofrece con dos alternativas básicas:
Descarga de la válvula a través de boquillas calibradas; el caudal de descarga se puede
modifi car mediante un regulador.
Descarga de la válvula mediante acoplamiento rápido (el caudal de descarga es constante) en
combinación con una descarga a través de boquillas calibradas que permiten regular el caudal
de la descarga mediante un regulador.
A  TOMA DE ENTRADA
La válvula combinada se acopla a la botella de gas mediante una toma de rosca. La rosca
puede ser cónica o paralela, de distinto calibre en función del tamaño y material de la botella.

B  BOQUILLA DE LLENADO
La válvula está equipada con una boquilla
de llenado para rellenar la botella de
gas en una estación de llenado; no tiene
ninguna función relacionada con el
paciente. Esta boquilla está provista de
una válvula anti retorno, lo que implica
que se necesitan adaptadores de llenado
especiales para purgar el gas de la botella
durante el proceso de llenado (ventilación
o vacío de las botellas).
C PANTALLA E_INDICATOR EMM
O2_X.Y.ZZZ
La Manómetro Digital indica la cantidad
de gas que queda en la botella, así como
el tiempo restante hasta el vaciado total
de la botella, en función del caudal actual.
«X.Y» es un código que identifi ca la
versión del hardware (X) y la versión del
software (Y). «ZZZ» es una codifi cación
de la presión de admisión para la que se
utilizará la Manómetro Digital.
Si desea más información, consulte el
capítulo 6, Manómetro Digital.
D  MANDO COMBINADO DE VÁLVULA DE CORTE Y SELECTOR DE CAUDAL
La válvula está provista de un mando combinado para apertura/cierre y regulación de caudal.
La válvula se activa girando el mando en sentido antihorario de la posición OFF a la posición
ON. Para regular el caudal a un valor determinado se continúa girando en sentido antihorario.
La válvula de corte se cierra girando en sentido horario a la posición OFF.
E  VÁLVULA DE PRESIÓN RESIDUAL
La válvula combinada GCE está provista de una válvula de presión residual que sirve para
mantener una presión positiva mínima en la botella de gas, con objeto de evitar la contaminación
del interior de la botella con aire atmosférico. Cuando se realiza la ventilación del gas de la
botella a través de la toma de llenado, se bypassea la válvula de presión residual.
F, G  REGULADOR DE CAUDAL F Y DESCARGA DE CAUDAL G OPTATIVO
La válvula combinada se puede entregar con un regulador de caudal, F, cuya función es el
suministro de un caudal de gas regulable (l/min) a presión atmosférica directamente al paciente
a través de la descarga de caudal G, por ejemplo, mediante una cánula o una mascarilla. La
descarga de caudal G dispone de un acople para manguera (tipo boquilla) o una conexión
roscada (para accesorios que se conecten mediante rosca).
Es normal que la descarga de caudal G se mueva, debido a como está sujeta al cuerpo, esto no
indica que exista ningún tipo de avería.
H  DESCARGA DE PRESIÓN  ACOPLAMIENTO RÁPIDO O VÁLVULA DE PURGA
OPTATIVO
La descarga sale directamente de la sección de baja presión de la válvula y está provista de un
conector de acoplamiento rápido o de una válvula de purga.
Si se usa el acoplamiento rápido (véase el apéndice 2) el usuario puede conectar otro equipo al
acoplamiento rápido con un acople macho específi co de cada gas. Si se produce la desconexión
el conector de acoplamiento rápido se cierra por sí mismo. Esta descarga sirve para suministrar
gas a una presión controlada a aparatos clínicos, como por ejemplo respiradores artifi ciales.
La válvula sin acoplamiento rápido está provista de válvula de purga para ventilar la presión
residual de la sección de baja presión de la válvula.

I  DISCO DE RUPTURA
El disco de ruptura se sitúa por encima de la válvula de presión residual, E. Se trata de un
dispositivo de seguridad que evita que se produzca una presión excesiva en la sección de baja
presión de la válvula.
J  PROTECCIÓN POR EXCESO DE CAUDAL O TUBO BUZO OPTATIVO
La protección por exceso de caudal garantiza que se produzca la ventilación del gas de la
botella en caso de rotura de la válvula combinada por encima del conector de entrada (es
decir, por caída de la botella). El tubo buzo no tiene esta misma función. Tanto la protección
por exceso de caudal, como el tubo buzo sirven para evitar la contaminación procedente de la
botella de la válvula combinada.
K  DISPOSITIVO DE SEGURIDAD DE LA SECCIÓN DE ALTA PRESIÓN  DISCO DE RUPTURA
OPTATIVO
El disco de ruptura de alta presión sirve para proteger la botella y la sección de alta presión de
la válvula combinada de los daños que pueda causar un aumento de presión en la botella. Una
vez ha actuado el dispositivo de seguridad, éste no se vuelve a cerrar y la válvula combinada
se debe retirar del servicio para ser reparada. Dip tube also serves for fi xing the sensor. El tubo
buzo también sirve para sujetar el sensor.
L _ PROTECCIÓN
La protección es una pieza integral del E-Ministar. Consta de dos mitades que se montan juntas
sobre la botella de gas. La Manómetro Digital se encuentra sujeta a una de estas mitades.
Nota: No es necesario que el color del producto (en especial la protección, el regulador de
caudal y la válvula de corte) cumpla la codifi cación de colores de gases.
6. MANÓMETRO DIGITAL EMM O2X.Y.ZZZ
6.1. DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA MANÓMETRO DIGITAL
6.2. ADVERTENCIAS GENERALES E INFORMACIÓN IMPORTANTE DE
SEGURIDAD
La manómetro Digital no tiene piezas recambiables. En caso de fallo, devolver el conjunto de
gas completo al propietario.
En caso de caducidad de las baterías, no intente remplazarlas, devuelva el equipo al propie-
tario del paquete de gas.
El equipo no se debe someter a mantenimiento mientras lo esté usando un paciente.
Contraindicaciones: No hay contraindicaciones para el uso del Manómetro Digital porque se
utiliza únicamente con fi nes de monitorización.
6.3. DESCRIPCIÓN GENERAL DEL MANÓMETRO DIGITAL
El manómetro digital proporciona al usuario una vista clara de la siguiente información:
Contenido de gas del cilindro en litros (ltr). Este dato se muestra únicamente cuando la válvula
está cerrada y no hay caudal de gas, o bien cuando se está calculando el tiempo restante.
Tiempo restante disponible del tratamiento al nivel de caudal de oxígeno actual. Esta
información aparece solo cuando la válvula está abierta y el gas fl uye.
