Before using the oxygen self-rescuer
for the first time, the customer has to
put the inspection dates onto the
metal plate of the oxygen self-
rescuer. The metal plate can be
found on the back of the oxygen self-
rescuer.
— Punch numbers may not be used
on the metal plate.
Dräger recommends engraving
or etching.
— There are six empty fields on the metal plate.
The customer is to use the first field –date of delivery– to fill in
the delivery date (month and year - e.g. 07/03) of the oxygen self-
rescuer.
