Resuscitation Module with AutoBreath™ Infant Resuscitator
WARNING:
Do not leave the patient unattended when using the AutoBreath resuscitation module.
Patient injury could occur.
NOTE:
The AutoBreath resuscitation feature provides resuscitation within the minimum patient
weight/gestational age recommendations of the AAP guidelines (minimum weight >400 g or gestational
age >23 weeks). Maximum weight is limited by the weight specification of the bed which is 10 kg
maximum.
•
AutoBreath™ Infant Resuscitator
—Use the
AutoBreath™ Infant Resuscitator with the continuous gas
flow provided by the Patient Supply submodule. The
AutoBreath™ Infant Resuscitator circuit is a gas-
powered, time-cycled, continuous flow, pressure-limited
resuscitator. It has a
Rate (BPM)
control and a fixed I/E
(Inspiratory:Expiratory) ratio of 1:2 nominal. An
On/Off
switch allows the timing circuit to be turned on and off as
needed. A
PEEP
control adjusts the Positive End
Expiratory Pressure in the patient circuit.
•
Patient Gas Supply
—The patient gas supply circuit can
be used with the AutoBreath™ Infant Resuscitator turned
on or off to provide continuous gas flow to the patient.
Controls are provided for
Airway Pressure Relief
(maximum pressure) and
Flow Rate (LPM)
(circuit flow
delivering 100% oxygen or blended gas). The adjustable
Airway Pressure Relief
control is always operative. A
fixed internal safety valve is also provided and is also
always operable. This valve provides redundant maximum pressure relief at 4.9 ± 1.0 kPa
(50 cmH
2
O/mbar).
The valve also allows the patient to inspire room air in the event of gas supply
failure. Negative pressure is not available in the expiratory phase.
NOTE:
Flow Rate (LPM)
is equivalent to flow meter.
NOTE:
A one-way valve is installed at the Patient Outlet connection. This valve opens when pressure in the hose
delivering the gas to the patient falls below -0.4 kPa (-0.06 psi).
NOTE:
Adjust flow rate to between 5 LPM and 15 LPM.
•
Patient Outlet 2
—Patient Outlet 2 supplies gas through the
Flow Rate 2
control to the Patient Outlet
2 connector. If the blender option is installed, it delivers blended gas. Otherwise, it delivers 100%
oxygen. It is intended for oxygen enrichment of a manual bag resuscitator, for supplemental delivery to
the patient, mother or second neonate, such as a twin. The
Flow Rate 2
control adjusts the flow rate
from 0 LPM to 15 LPM. For MU25178, this internal pre-set relief valve limits the
Patient Outlet 2
pressure to 3.9 kPa (40 cmH
2
O/mbar) or to 15.7 kPa (160 cmH
2
O/mbar), depending on which module
is selected.
