• Always keep the fittings and the box clean and free of oil and grease.
• Please observe the section "4. Hygienic preparation" on page 13 in order to avoid
infection or bacterial contamination.
Oxygen
Warning!
Highly compressed oxygen in conjunction with combustible substances (grease, oil,
alcohol etc.) may give rise to spontaneous explosive reactions.
• Always keep the units and all screwed unions free of oil and grease.
• Do not allow liquid to enter the unit.
• Be sure to wash your hands before working on the oxygen supply.
• Smoking and open flames are strictly prohibited in the vicinity of fittings carrying
oxygen.

8Safety information
Caution!
• Closely observe the instruction manuals and the special information for oxygen
cylinders.
• Secure the oxygen cylinders with cylinder clamps to prevent them from slipping or
falling out.
• When assembling the unit and when changing cylinders, tighten all screwed
unions by hand only. Never use tools for this purpose. Overtightening damages
the screw threads and seals, resulting in leaks.
• Always open the cylinder valve slowly to prevent pressure hammer on the fittings.
• Always ensure that the oxygen cylinders are sufficiently full.
• Do not empty the cylinders completely, as this may allow moist ambient air to
enter them and cause corrosion.
Accessories/Replacement parts
Caution!
Malfunctions and a lack of biocompatibility may result if third-party articles are used.
Please bear in mind that in these cases any warranty entitlement and liability shall
lapse where the accessories recommended in the instruction manual or original
replacement parts are not utilized.
Repairs
Servicing and repair work must only be carried out by the manufacturer (WEINMANN
Emergency) or by a trained member of staff.

Operation 9
3. Operation
3.1 Connecting the oxygen supply to the oxygen
administrator
Note:
The oxygen supply is already connected when the O2Box Rescue is delivered.
1. Close the cylinder valve.
2. Connect the pressure hose's threaded connection to
the free threaded connection on the oxygen
administrator.
3. Connect the Walther self-sealing coupling on the
pressure hose system to the self-sealing coupling on the

10 Operation
Removing the empty cylinder
1. Close the cylinder valve.
2. Depressurize the system by opening a dosage unit until
the pressure falls to 0 bar.
3. Unscrew and remove the pressure reducer.
4. Open the cylinder clamps by releasing the latches.
Note:
If the cylinder clamps are too tight, it may prove
difficult to release the latches. In this event, use the
adjusting screw to reduce the clamping force.
5. Pull the oxygen cylinder diagonally upwards and out of
its holding bracket.
Connecting a new cylinder
1. Briefly open the valve of the new oxygen cylinder and then shut it again. This is to blow
away any particles of dust.
Warning!
Never hold the cylinder with the connector pointing at you or another person.
Otherwise, rapidly-flying particles of dust could get into the eyes and lead to injury.
It is also important to prevent O2from getting into clothing.
2. Place the new oxygen cylinder into the clamp in the box. Ensure that the threaded
connection faces the wall of the box.

Operation 11
3. Screw the pressure reducer to the cylinder valve using
the knurled union nut. Tighten the union nut by hand.
4. Engage the latches and close the clamps to prevent the
oxygen cylinders from slipping.
Note:
You can adapt the cylinder clamps exactly to the
cylinder's diameter by making use of the fine
adjustment on the cylinder clamps.
Proceed as follows:
1. Open the latch on the cylinder clamp.
2. Turn the adjustment screw to adapt the length of the
cylinder clamp exactly to the cylinder.
3. Close the latch again.
• Adjust so that the cylinder is properly secured, while
allowing the clamps to be closed using normal force.
• If the clamps are tightened so much that they can only
be closed by using excessive force, there is a danger
that the clamps could be overstretched and damaged.

12 Operation
3.3 Operation with external units
The O2Box Rescue is designed to allow operation of
external units. These include:
• MEDUMAT Easy
• MEDUMAT Standard
• MEDUMAT Standard a
• MEDUMAT Basic p
• OXYMAND demand valve
• OMNIVAC secretion suction
Caution!
• If external units are used, ensure that the total output flow does not exceed the
maximum flow of the cylinder pressure reducer.
•Ifall inhalation outlets and an external unit are used simultaneously, there may be
a negligble reduction in the oxygen output volume (see "8.2 Output volume of
the OXYWAY Click oxygen administrator" on page 19).

Hygienic preparation 13
4. Hygienic preparation
The O2Box Rescue must be cleaned and disinfected after each use.
A conventional household cleaner may be used for cleaning.
1. Remove the oxygen cylinders and the accessories from the box.
2. Wipe the O2Box Rescue and the oxygen administrator with a soft, damp cloth.
3. Wipe the exterior of the oxygen cylinders' fittings with a clean, dry cloth or a cloth
moistened with clean water.
Warning!
In exceptional cases it may be essential to wipe using disinfectant. If so, take special
care to ensure that no liquid enters the oxygen administrator or pressure hoses.
Otherwise, there is a danger that the disinfectant could pass with the oxygen into the
patient’s airways and cause injury.
We recommend using the disinfectant TERRALIN for wipe disinfection, which can be
ordered from Schülke & Mayr, Robert-Koch-Str.2, D-22851 Norderstedt.
Warning! Risk of explosion!
Liquid must not be allowed to enter the pressure reducer.
4. Afterwards, always perform a functional check (see "5. Functional check" on page 14).
Accessories
To clean the accessories, see the “Cleaning” section in the corresponding instruction
manuals.
To disinfect or sterilize the accessories, see the “Disinfection and sterilization” section in
the corresponding instruction manuals.

14 Functional check
5. Functional check
5.1 Intervals
Functional checks must be carried out before each use, after each disassembly, and at least
every 6 months.
Warning!
If you discover defects during the functional check, you must not reuse the
O2Box Rescue until these defects have been rectified.
5.2 O2Box Rescue
1. Check that there is no damage to the corners of the box or the handle.
2. Check that the locks on the box can be opened and closed easily.
3. Check that the hinges on the box work smoothly and are properly secured.
4. Any defect parts should be replaced as quickly as possible. Send the box to your
authorized dealer or the manufacturer for repair.
5.3 Oxygen administrator with dosage settings
1. Inspect the administrator for any visible mechanical damage.
2. Ensure that the locking buttons on the flow regulators are in the “0” position.
3. Connect the administrator to a central gas connection (CGC) using the 5 m pressure
hose.
4. Check that the connections between the administrator, the pressure hose and the CGC
are secure.
5. Now use the locking buttons to set all the locking positions and check the oxygen
outputs to see if the flow increases in accordance with the setting.
6. Reset the locking buttons to the “0” position.
7. Check the screwed unions on the administrator for leaks.
8. Prepare a soapy solution using unperfumed soap.
9. Open the cylinder valve slowly.
10. Wet all the screw and hose connections with the solution. If bubbles form, this
indicates a leak.

Functional check 15
11. Close the cylinder valve.
12. Depressurize the system by opening a dosage unit until the pressure falls to 0 bar.
13. Should any leaks occur, please contact your authorized dealer or the manufacturer,
WEINMANN Emergency.
Caution!
• The oxygen administrator is not a shut-off valve. Even if the outlets are
completely closed, it is still possible for a small quantity of oxygen to
escape. To shut off the O2supply, close the cylinder valve.
• Only use the O2Box Rescue if all the locking buttons function properly.
5.4 Cylinder clamps
1. Shake the oxygen cylinder to ensure that it is securely fastened in the cylinder clamps.
The latches on the cylinder clamps must not come open. The cylinder must not move.
If the latches come open or if the cylinder moves, the clamping force of the latches
must be readjusted (see "3.2 Changing the oxygen cylinders" on page 9).
2. Check the cylinder clamps for corrosion (every 6 months).
If you find evidence of corrosion on a clamp, it must be replaced by an authorized
technician. Send the box to your authorized dealer or the manufacturer for repair.
5.5 Pressure reducer
Checking the system for leaks
1. Close the system downstream of the pressure reducer. To do this, either close the valves
on the oxygen administrator or switch off all the connected units.
2. Check that all screwed unions and hose connections are tight. If necessary, tighten the
screwed unions, by hand.

16 Functional check
3. Open the cylinder valve slowly.
You can now read the cylinder pressure on the pressure
reducer's gauge. A reading of 200 bar means that the
cylinder is full, a reading of 100 bar that it is half full.
You should change the cylinder in good time, e.g.
when the pressure falls below 50 bar, to ensure a
sufficiently long operating time.
4. Close the cylinder valve again.
5. Observe the gauge's needle on the pressure reducer for
approx. 1 minute.
If the position of the needle stays constant, the system
is free from leaks.
If the needle falls steadily, there is a leak in the system.
Rectifying leaks
Note:
We recommend you keep a stock of replacement seals for the connectors (see also
the OXYWAY instruction manual).
1. Prepare a soapy solution using unperfumed soap.
2. Wet all the screw and hose connections with the solution. If bubbles form, this
indicates a leak.
3. Close the cylinder valve.
4. Depressurize the system by opening a dosage unit until the pressure falls to 0 bar.
Warning!
The screwed unions of the oxygen lines must be tightened only by hand.
5. In the event of leaks, replace the damaged parts (see the instruction manual for the
unit).
6. Check for leaks again, as described above.
7. If the leak cannot be rectified, the unit must be repaired. Send the box to your
authorized dealer or the manufacturer for repair.

Maintenance 17
6. Maintenance
The O2Box Rescue does not require maintenance. However, perform a functional check
regularly (see "5. Functional check" on page 14).
Perform a check measurement on the OXYWAY Click oxygen administrator every four
years to verify the dosage accuracy.
Observe the intervals for functional checks on all the parts used. Refer to the corresponding
instruction manual.
We recommend all repair work to be carried out by the manufacturer (WEINMANN
Emergency) or by a trained technician.
