5. USAGE

5.1. EZO-01 CONTROL UNIT ACTIVATION

Use AC power cord (supplied with the device) to connect the EZO-01 to 230V/50Hz network with a protective
grounding. Turn the switch located on the back panel of the device ON. Press the STAND BY button located
on the control panel. The internal auto-test will be activated. Afterwards, the main window will be displayed.

If the internal auto-test result is negative, an error message

will appear on the screen.

Further work with the device will not be possible.

Contact the device manufacturer.

Connect the tourniquet (using a spiral hose supplied with the control unit) to the slot located on the control panel.

5.2. USE OF THE DEVICE WHEN BATTERY POWERED

In the case of: power failure, when the control unit is not plugged in or the switch on the back panel is OFF,
the EZO-01 automatically switches into battery power mode. The battery power icon ,will be displayed as
well as information on the battery charge level (tab. 1).
Icon Battery charge level
Operating time of the EZO-01 on battery power is dependent
on many factors. When the battery charge level goes below 30%, 100÷70%
initiate battery charging by connecting the control unit to AC
70÷50%
230V power network (the display shows the mains power icon ).
50÷30%
5.3. OCCLUSION PRESSURE
Push the PRESSURE button. The display will show the value 30÷10%
of the required pressure and the icon indicating that the unit
10÷0%
is in pressure edit mode. By turning control knob, set the desired
pressure (in the range from 100 to 550 mmHg). Confirm the selected Tab.1. Battery charge level
value pressing ENTER button or control knob. If the pressure se-
lection is performed before inflating the tourniquet, once approved, the displayed value returns to the value
of 000 (the actual pressure in the tourniquet). If the pressure is edited after inflating the tourniquet, pressure ap-
proval automatically changes the pressure in the tourniquet to the selected one.

5.4. OCCLUSION TIME

Push the TIMER button. The display will show the value of the required time and the icon indicating that
the unit is in time edit mode. By turning control knob, set the desired time [in the range from 1 to 99 min]. Con-
firm the selected value pressing ENTER button or control knob. Time edit mode is completed. The time can be
changed both, before and after inflating the tourniquet.
The clock is activated automatically when the tourniquet is being inflated. When the selected time has been
reached, a beep sound will be emitted. If the tourniquet is not deflated or new time is not set, the timer will
start to count up from the 00.

The tourniquet does not get deflated when the selected occlusion time is reached.

The occlusion time (after inflating the tourniquet) may be displayed as:
• the increasing value from zero to the set value,the arrow facing up will be displayed
• the decreasing value from the set value to zero, the arrow facing down will be displayed
One of the abovementioned options is selected acc. to p.5.7 of these instructions.

5.5. TOURNIQUET INFLATION

Press and hold pressed for minimum 2s INFLATE button. The control unit will start to fill in the tourniquet, what
will be shown on the display as an increasing pressure level up to the selected one. Automatically, the occlu-
sion time measurement will be activated.

Inflating loose, not applied on a limb or rolled into a tight roll tourniquet can cause its damage.

5.6. TOURNIQUET DEFLATING

Press and hold pressed for minimum 2s DEFLATE button. The control unit will start to empty the tourniquet,
what will be shown on the display as an decreasing pressure level down to 000 value. Automatically, the oc-
clusion time measurement will be stopped.

5.7. MENU
Changes in other parameters of the EZO-01 unit are introduced from the settings window when pressing
the MENU button. For navigation in the settings window and changes introduction, use the control knob. Press
MENU button to leave the (Options) settings window.

Initiation of settings window is not possible during the operation of the control unit with
the tourniquet (after its inflating).

5.7.1. TESTING

For testing, use tourniquet that will be used during the procedure. When replacing the tour-
niquet, the testing should be repeated.

Connect the ChM tourniquet using the spiral air hose supplied with the EZO-01 control unit to the tourniquet
connection port located on the control panel. Roll up the tourniquet tightly and secure against unrolling. Then
enter the Menu and select Autotest. During the testing, the tourniquet will be inflated and the device will check
the tightness of the system: control unit – tourniquet. If the system is tight, the testing will end with a PASS
sign - the control unit and tourniquet can be used during the procedure. Displayed FAILD sign indicates that
the system is not tight. Check the condition of the tourniquet, air hoses, pneumatic connectors and their con-
nection. Eliminate leaks if possible (e.g. replace defective tourniquet or air hose). Run the test again.

Should it be impossible to remove or detect the leaks, it is strictly forbidden to use the set:
control unit-tourniquet for surgery. Only the set with positive test results (PASS displayed) can
be used for surgery

6. USE OF EZO-01 CONTROL UNIT DURING THE PROCEDURE

Prior to use, read p. 5 USAGE of these instructions.

Before using the EZO-01 control unit in surgical procedure for the first time, the device should
be cleaned in accordance with section 9 of this manual.

The EZO-01 control unit can only be used by qualified medical personnel familiar with the op-
eration of the device, such as anesthetists, who control the device outside the operating field.

Prior to each use:

• perform a visual inspection of the product,
• verify the basic functioning of the unit control (inflating, deflating, etc.),
• verify the battery charge (use control unit only with fully charged battery),
• perform the testing in accordance with section 5.7.1 of these instructions,
• prepare a replacement unit.

Should any defect appear, do not use the device until the defect is removed or until the defect
is deemed to have no negative effect on the proper functioning of the device.

Connect the device to the AC 230V network during the procedure. The device functioning on the battery
power during the procedure is allowed only in the case of failure of AC power (for more information about work-
ing on battery power - see p.5.2 of these instructions). Set the occlusion pressure and time. Apply the tourniquet
on the operated limb. Make sure that the pneumatic hose has not been bent. Inflate the tourniquet by pressing
INFLATE button. If it is necessary to regulate the occlusion pressure or time, these changes can be introduced

after inflating the tourniquet.

When the occlusion time is reached, a beep sound will be emitted. If the tourniquet is not deflated or new time
is not set, the timer will start to count from the 00.

The tourniquet does not get deflated when the selected occlusion time is reached.

Press and hold for minimum 2 sec. DEFLATE button to empty the tourniquet. After emptying the tourniquet
(the display shows the 000 pressure value), remove the tourniquet from the limb, then disconnect it from the unit
control. The EZO-01 may be switched off by pressing STAND BY button.

The surgeon decides about the: setting values of the control unit (pressure, occlusion time, etc.),
the place the tourniquet is applied, the moment the tourniquet is inflated, deflated and other
parameters.

7. GRAPHIC AND SOUND MESSAGES

EZO-01 single tourniquet control unit is equipped with a range of graphic and sound messages that inform
the user about relevant parameters or irregularities during the operation. The table (Tab. 3.) lists the causes
of the messages, types of messages and the actions to be taken.

9. CLEANING AND DISINFECTION

Before cleaning or disinfection, disconnect the device from 230V network!

The outer surfaces of the device should be cleaned with a soft, moistened (not dripping) cloth with a mild de-
tergent solution then wiped dry. In the case of contaminating the housing of the device with infectious agents
(blood, body fluids, etc.), disinfection using disinfectants with a neutral pH is recommended. In such cases, soak
a soft cloth in disinfectant, wipe the housing and allow it to dry.

Do not allow the detergents or disinfectants to enter inside the device housing. Should the de-
tergents or disinfectants enter inside the device housing, switch the device off, disconnect from
230V network and send it to the manufacturer for cleaning processes.

The EZO-01 control unit should NOT be sterilized

10. STORAGE
The device should be stored in a clean and dry room, off the direct sun, at the temperature of 15 ÷ 30°C and hu-
midity of 20 to 70%.
