Instructions for use
|
Atlan A300, A300 XL, A350, A350 XL SW 1.0n
Operation
The gas concentration can change abruptly when the O
2
flush is used.
Using the O
2
flush has the following effects:
– In manual ventilation, pressing the O
2
flush results in a rapid rise in pressure
to the APL level.
– In mechanical ventilation, permanently pressing the O
2
flush may result in a
slight rise of the PEEP level. However, this rise has no effect on the peak
pressure.
7.3.3 Using
the
vaporizer
►
Operate the vaporizer according to its instructions for use.
7.3.4
Anesthetic gas compensation
The gas composition can affect the measurement accuracy of the flow
measurement. If the device is equipped with inspiratory O
2
measurement, the
accuracy of the flow measurement can be ensured by the anesthetic gas
compensation.
1. Touch area (1); a further dialog (2) will open.
2.
CAUTION
Risk of inaccurate measured flow values
If the anesthetic gas compensation is incorrectly set, the resulting incorrect
measured flow values can lead to incorrect measured values for the tidal
volume.
►
Make the settings for the anesthetic gas compensation carefully.
Choose one of the following selection options (3):
–
Off
: The measured flow values will not be corrected.
–
Des
: The measured flow values will be corrected for desflurane using an
average value. For more information, see table page 175.
–
Sev
: The measured flow values will be corrected for sevoflurane using an
average value. For more information, see table page 175.
