Operation
1.
CAUTION
Risk of faulty gas delivery
With non-rebreathing systems, O
2
, CO
2
, and any anesthetic gases must be
monitored.
►
Connect the sample line to the non-rebreathing system and the integrated
patient-gas measurement module or the anesthetic gas monitor.
CAUTION
Risk of gas contamination
When the device’s integrated patient-gas measurement module is used, the
extracted sample gas is also returned to the internal breathing system during
operation with an external fresh-gas outlet.
►
Using a breathing hose, establish a closed connection between the
inspiratory port and the expiratory port. Flush the breathing system each time
patients or anesthetic gas are changed!
Start the
Ext. FGO
operation mode.
2. Adjust the fresh-gas delivery. Set the vaporizer if required.
7.4.2
Pause
mode
In
Pause
mode, ventilation is stopped. This mode is useful for short-term
interruptions to a therapy such as, e.g., intraoperative suctioning of mucus or
relocation of the patient.
This mode is also useful during regional anesthesia. The patient’s respiration can
be monitored via the sample gas measurement without distracting alarms being
issued.
Gas delivery is also stopped with electronically controlled gas mixers. The gas
concentration measurement remains active and waiting for respiratory phases.
The device remains in this operation mode until the user switches to a different
ventilation mode. The
Timer
therapy control defines the period of time after which
an alarm is issued. This alarm reminds the user to start the ventilation manually
again.
Setting the
Timer
therapy control to
Off
deactivates the alarm. The total elapsed
time in the
Pause
operation mode is also displayed.
To reduce contamination of the ambient air with anesthetic gases through an open
Y-piece, use this operation mode for, e.g., regional anesthesia or short breaks in
therapy such as disconnection or intubation.
7.4.2.1 Activating
Pause
1. Start the

operation mode.
2. Adjust the
Timer
therapy control if necessary.
7.4.2.2
Returning to the previous mode

button.
2. Confirm the ventilation mode.
