Would go with it, once the questions are answered
A voltage stabilizer
covered: 4 available
covers Sollatek AVS30 (Kampala Power Trust), 4 available — its own plate runs on 240 V 50 Hz
won't work here itself automatic voltage regulator (Houston surplus AVR) — its own plate fails 240 V 50 Hz; it does not count
11 open questions before a verdict
- What supply frequency is the device rated for? The nameplate prints it in Hz, next to the voltage. (for the donor)
- What voltage range is the device rated for? A nameplate reading 100-240 V means it handles both grids. (for the donor)
- Does the device need a medical oxygen supply to operate? (for the donor)
- Does the device need distilled or deionised water? (for the donor)
- Does the device need a medical compressed air supply? (for the donor)
- What does the device consume in use - reagents, cartridges, circuits, electrodes, filters? (for the donor)
- Can spare parts for this device be bought in Uganda? Record the nonprofit's answer
- What year was the device made? The nameplate usually prints it next to the serial number. (for the donor)
- What languages is the manual available in, and is one included? (for the donor)
- Does running this device need specialist training, and does servicing it need a biomedical technician? (for the donor)
- Does anything being sent carry an expiry date - sterile circuits, filters, reagents, batteries? If so, what is the earliest? (for the donor)
