and angle connector, 1 m long
The 1 m pressure hose establishes the connection
between the oxygen cylinders and the
administrator.
4 Pressure reducer
The pressure reducers are used to supply medical
oxygen at reduced pressure.
5 Cylinder clamp
They are used to secure the oxygen cylinders in
the O2Box Rescue.
6 Oxygen cylinder
Two oxygen cylinders, each holding 5 liters and
with a pressure of 200 bar. The oxygen cylinders
are used to supply medical oxygen.
7 Ventilation mask
This is used to administer oxygen to the patient.
8 Pressure hose with self-sealing adaptor
and DIN connector, 5 m long
The 5 m pressure hose is used:
– to supply the oxygen administrator using a
central gas supply (DIN connection to CGS)

6Description
1. Description
1.1 Purpose
The O2Box Rescue is used to store and transport an oxygen supply system and the
necessary accessories.
The O2Box Rescue is used predominantly at accidents with mass casualties and mainly
serves to supply medical oxygen to up to four patients simultaneously.
1.2 Function
The O2Box Rescue is equipped to transport two oxygen cylinders, each holding 5 liters.
The oxygen flow can be set individually for each patient from 1 to 15 l/min using the
oxygen administrator with dosage settings.
Four ventilation masks are available as accessories to supply oxygen to the patients.
The supplied connection hose can be connected in two ways:
• Walther self-sealing adaptor
• DIN connector
The Walther coupler and DIN coupler are attached to the administrator to provide the
following connections:
• central gas supply with the DIN coupler to the administrator of the
O2Box Rescue via the Walther coupler
• oxygen supply to external units (e.g. MEDUMAT Standard) via the DIN
connection on the O2Box Rescue

Safety information 7
2. Safety information
2.1 Safety provisions
Read the instruction manual carefully. It is part of the O2Box Rescue and must be available
at all times. Use the box for the designated purpose only (see "1.1 Purpose" on page 6).
For your own safety and that of your patients, and in accordance with the requirements of
Directive 93/42 EEC, please observe the following points:
Using the O2Box Rescue
Caution!
• Only use the O2Box Rescue if you have a medical education and have received
training in respiration technology. Improper use may lead to serious physical
injury.
• Before working with the O2Box Rescue, you should understand how to handle it.
• Do not throw the O2Box Rescue.
• Always place the O2Box Rescue on a level surface.
• Do not stack more than five O2Box Rescue boxes on top of each other.
• Do not sit or lean on the boxes and do not rest anything on them.
• Do not place the O2Box Rescue in liquids (e.g. water).
• 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
oxygen cylinder.
3.2 Changing the oxygen cylinders
Warning!
Wash your hands thoroughly before doing any work on the oxygen supply.
Hydrocarbon compounds (e.g. oil, grease, cleaning alcohol, hand cream or adhesive
plasters) can cause explosive reactions if they come into contact with highly
compressed oxygen.
Caution!
Never use wrenches or other tools to tighten or unscrew the union nuts.

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.
