Introduction
1 Introduction
1.1 Intended use
The O2Box Rescue compact is used to transport an oxygen system
and the required accessories. A maximum of 4 patients can be
supplied with oxygen simultaneously on site. The
O
Box Rescue compact is predominantly used at multiple
2
casualty/victim accident scenes.
1.2 Function
The box is equipped for the transport of two 5 l oxygen cylinders.
It is only ever possible to connect one pressure reducer to the
removable oxygen administrator in the cover of the box.
You can ventilate up to 4 patients with a flow of 1 l/min to 15 l/ml
using the oxygen cylinders in the box.
The connection hose supplied (5 m) has a DIN connector on one
end and a Walther self-sealing adapter on the other.
The oxygen administrator offers the following connection options:
• Walther coupling: connection of a central gas supply with DIN
coupling
• DIN coupling: connection to oxygen supply of external devices
(e.g., MEDUMAT Standard
2
ventilator)

5.1 General instructions
• Use suitable gloves for disinfection work (e.g., household or
disposable gloves).
• Please refer to the instructions for use supplied with the
disinfectant used.
• Recommendation: terralin
®
protect for wipe disinfection
5.2 Intervals
Reprocess the device hygienically after every use.
5.3 Hygienic reprocessing of the device
Risk of explosion if disinfectants containing alcohol or grease
are used for wipe disinfection!
Disinfectants containing alcohol or grease react with oxygen to
create a flammable mixture and can result in explosions and injury
to the user and patient.
When wiping the pressure reducer and the oxygen
administrator with disinfectant, do not use disinfectants
containing alcohol or grease.
Risk of injury due to ingress of liquids!
Liquids entering the oxygen administrator and pressure hoses
(e.g., disinfectants) can injure the patient and damage
components.
Never immerse components in liquids. Wipe them down

6.3 Checking the oxygen administrator
Risk of injury from damaged oxygen administrator!
A damaged oxygen administrator does not provide sufficient
oxygen for ventilation. This can injure the patient.
Only use the box if all the locking buttons on the oxygen
administrator are undamaged.
1. Check the oxygen administrator for visible mechanical
damage.
2. To check the flow: connect the oxygen administrator with the
pressure hose to the pressure reducer of an oxygen cylinder.
3. Set all the locking buttons on the oxygen administrator to 0.
The valves on the oxygen administrator and thus the system
behind the pressure reducer are blocked.
4. Check that the screwed unions and hose connections are
secure.
5. If necessary: tighten the screwed unions by hand.
6. Open the valve of the oxygen cylinder slowly.
7. Read off the cylinder pressure on the contents gauge of the
pressure reducer.
Cylinder pressure = 200 bar: oxygen cylinder is full
Cylinder pressure = 100 bar: oxygen cylinder is half-full
8. When cylinder pressure is <
cylinder.
9. Use the locking buttons to set all of the locking positions in
succession.
Requirement: The flow at the oxygen outlet must increase as
per the locking position (increasing hissing noise).
50 bar: change the oxygen
WM 66421 04/2015
10. To check for leaks: set all the locking buttons to 0.
The oxygen administrator is not a shut-off valve. The only way to
prevent oxygen from escaping from the system is to keep the valve
on the oxygen cylinder closed.
11. Close the valve on the oxygen cylinder.

12. Watch the needle on the contents gauge of the pressure
reducer for approx. 1 minute.
Requirement: The needle must remain still.
13. Set a locking button to 0 until the system is depressurized.
14. If a requirement is not fulfilled: contact
WEINMANN Emergency or a technician authorized by
WEINMANN Emergency.
Result The oxygen administrator has been checked.
