5.1. ELECTRONIC INDICATOR E-GAUGE
5.1.1. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
5.1.1.1. General warnings and important safety information
The current gas pressure in the cylinder is shown even if the valve is not used or the quick
coupler is used as an outlet.
EN
The remaining time is calculated only when using of fl ow control head.
If a pressure outlet and fl ow outlet are used simultaneously, the calculation of remaining time
is not accurate and GCE does not guarantee the correct value of this parameter.
No parts of the E-GAUGE can be replaced / repaired by the user. In case of a defect, the product
must be sent back to the manufacturer.
The battery is only replaceable by trained service personnel. An attempt to exchange
the battery without an authorized service technician may lead to dangerous situations such
as excessive heat or fi re.
Contraindication: No known contraindication related with the E-GAUGE exist.
5.1.1.2. General description
The E-GAUGE is used to show information about the pressure in the cylinder and about
the remaining time of the gas supply up to pressure 15 bar in the cylinder at actually set fl ow
and other operating states and warnings.

5.1.1.3. Storage and operational conditions
Storage and operational conditions are in compliance with the conditions for the complete
MediVital®E combination valve mentioned in the chapter 3.
5.1.1.4. EMC Conditions
The MediVital®E combination valve is designed for use in homecare, hospital and ambulance
care. Avoid use near devices with high intensity of electromagnetic disturbance, such as
magnetic resonance, VF surgical tools, etc. The device does not included any wires or
transmitters which would lead to an increase of EM emissions or decrease EM resistance of
the device.
Essential performance of the device may be degraded by the electromagnetic disturbance.
Medical electrical devices require special safety measures concerning electromagnetic
compatibility and it is necessary to install them and put them into operation according to
the information on electromagnetic compatibility stated in this document.
