Flow Head Installation
Flow Head Installation
Connect the flow head sensor to the monitor through the flexible triple
lumen tubing. The flexible tubing mates with the monitor only one way,
ensuring that each pressure port is connected correctly. The flexible tubing
is labled “Toward Flow Head.” Ensure that the arrows on the tubing are
pointing in the direction of the flow sensor. See
Figure 2-1.
CAUTION: The NAD Omicron Monitor has been designed to work only
with the Narkomed MRI anesthesia machine. Use only NAD-
supplied oxygen and flow sensors with this monitor to ensure
accuracy and compatibility with MRI systems.
Figure 2-1. Rear Panel
The flow sensor is intended for use on patients with tidal volumes from 50
to 1500 milliliters. The flexible tubing transfers pressures within the
sensor housing to ports on the monitor. The monitor uses these pressures
to compute displayed values. The flexible tubing transfers two flow
parameters (+ flow and - flow) and the pressure within the patient
breathing circuit.
