When oxytocin is used judiciously, serious toxicity is rare. The toxicity that does occur is due either to excessive stimulation of uterine contractions or to inadvertent activation of vasopressin receptors. Excessive stimulation of uterine contractions before delivery can cause fetal distress, placental abruption, or uterine rupture. These complications can be detected early by means of standard fetal monitoring equipment. High concentrations of oxytocin with activation of vasopressin receptors can cause excessive fluid retention, or water intoxication, leading to hyponatremia, heart failure, seizures, and death. Bolus injections of oxytocin can cause hypotension. To avoid hypotension, oxytocin is administered intravenously as dilute solutions at a controlled rate. 

Different designed solvent recovery systems are used. As an example there is the solvent system that consists of fixed bed adsorbers containing activated carbon and a distillation system. The carbon adsorbs the solvent vapors. Then the beds are steamed in sequence to remove the solvent. The solvent and steam are condensed into a large tank. The distillation system is then used to distill the solvent from the water to a purity of 99.99% so that it can be reused. Because of the high cost of solvent, complex monitoring equipment is used to insure a high rate of recover. 

Preventive maintenance activities include equipment checks, scheduled or craidition-based worn tool changes, cleaning, and partial or complete overhauls at specified periods, e.g., oil changes and lubrication. In addition, workers can record equipment deterioration so they know to replace or repair worn parts before they cause system failure. In the case of condition-based maintenance, sensors and software tools are used for the monitoring and analysis of the desired item parameters. 

However, if the hexamine feed is stopped via TSH2 (Process control engineering (PCE) monitoring equipment level 2 in Table 4.1), which is activated after 786 s in the first case and after 4,024 s in the second, the variation of temperature with time is milder, since the continuing feed of (cold) nitric acid leads to a reduction of hexamine concentration and hence of the reaction rate. 

Telehealthcare Issues of safety and reliability remain very important in telehealthcare. The demands of developing equipment at an appropriate level of sophistication may be especially great, for telehealthcare often requires quantitative measurement by the patient in a home environment. One of the potential benefits of telehealthcare is that it can increase the agency of patients, as they become more active in the treatment of their condition. However, such benefit may be diminished if they feel unable to cope adequately with their monitoring equipment. 

The model development has been carried out by a test case that was a small chiller unit for water cooling purposely developed for experimental activity. The equipment consists of two circuits the refrigerant line and the water line and it is monitored by about ten sensors that include temperatures, pressures, levels and power supplies (on/off). The sensors signals are monitored by an acquisition card and transmitted to a pc for the intelUgent elaboration. The test bed has been developed to simulate about eight failure modes hut in this work we investigated only six of them. 

Monitoring equipment can help detect explosive concentrations of gases and provide warnings or activate ventilation or other equipment to reduce the hazards. 

The RPV is provided with a pressure relief system which consists of 12 safety (relief) valves connected evenly onto the four steam lines, with blowdown pipes leading down into the condensation pool. The safety (relief) valves are own medium operated valves, each being controlled by two pilot valves, one pressure activated and one electrically controlled this means that actuation can be initiated in a controlled way by pressure monitoring equipment, to avoid over pressurization or to achieve depressurization. In addition, control valves are provided downstream two of the safety valves, in order to enable proper pressure control of the reactor also in the event of isolation (loss of the turbine condenser function). 

Airborne radiation monitors are described in CESSAR-DC Section 11.5.1.2.4, and include a portable unit that can be moved to areas where work or surveillance activities are at an unusual risk of airborne exposure. This monitor includes detector channels for particulate, iodine, and gaseous activity. All equipment is assembled on a mobile cart, and the design allows for transfer of the particulate sample filters and iodine sample cartridges to the Station Counting Room for further sample analysis.
