can be switched at any time.
4.5. 5% concentration increments:
As delivered, the
mixer is set up as standard to add nitrous oxide to the
oxygen in 5% increments. If the user presses “5% con-
centration increments”, the heading changes to “1% con-
centration increments” and the nitrous oxide is increased
and reduced in 1% increments.

3.2 Main menu
1. Start sedation with patient ID:
A menu with letters
and numbers appears for adding a patient by name or
patient number. After clicking enter, the sedation starts
immediately with a 5 l/min. total flow and 0% n
2
O (=
100% o
2
).
2. Start sedation with anonymous patient:
the seda-
tion display is shown without having entered a patient
ID. Sedation starts immediately with 5 l/min. and 0% n
2
o
(= 100% O
2
).
3. Recent patients:
Shows the most recently treated pa-
tients, either anonymously or with the name/patient ID.
the treatment time, start of sedation, date, average total
flow, average n
2
o delivery in % and max. n
2
o delivery
are displayed. Sedation logs can also be deleted. Arrows
are used to click through the recent patients.
Sedation data can be saved to a USB stick, which can
be inserted on the left of the unit. for this, the operator
should click on the
“Export data”
button in the “recent
patients” menu item. All data is saved to a directory on
the Baldus touch. A .txt file is created for each patient.
During the export, all available data is copied to the USB
stick. the last 50 entries are displayed in the recent Pa-
tients directory and can be individually deleted if nec-
essary.
If the unit is not powered down correctly (by keeping the
I/o button held for five seconds), the file system may be-
come corrupted. this can happen even if the unit is only
ever powered down incorrectly once. therefore, always
power down the unit before unplugging it. the sedation
log is only saved if the nitrous oxide sedation is ended
correctly. Accordingly, the last sedation log is not saved
if the unit is unplugged.
