Health Sciences · Hospital for Sick Children

A black-coloured rectangular instrument with white markings. The instrument has a series of ports, knobs, and switches on its front face, as well as a strip of LED diodes indicating pressure in cm H2O. An electrical cord is attached to the back of the instrument. Also at the back of the instrument is a bracket with a threaded clamp, presumably for attaching the instrument to a stand.

Markings:

Affixed to the top of the instrument is a green adhesive label from Hospital for Sick Children (HSC) Medical Engineering. This lists the following information: “DATE July 2016// DUE July 2017// LOCAL [unreadable]// TECH L.C.”
Below this is a white label that reads: “MRI COMPATIBLE”
Five white labels, affixed to the left side and arranged vertically, read as follows: “DEPT OF MED ENG”, “LOW PRESSURE ALARM WITH BAR GRAPH MANOMETER”, “MODEL 8211A”, “SN K”, “CN D1204”.
A “Special Inspection Health Care Equipment” label affixed to the right side includes a “Special Inspection Service” label with the printed text “F 04216”. Much of the information that is written on this label is too faded to read, but it seems to repeat the information marked on the left side.
Affixed to the back are two white labels with electrical information. They read: “FUSE AGC 1.25A” and “120 VAC 1250 MA 60 HZ”
