PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT 5 Feb 04
4 - 23
Resuscitation Module (Optional)
WARNING:
For prolonged resuscitation, use a heat and moisture
exchanger or heated humidification. Failure to do so
could result in patient injury.
Patient Supply with the 15 mm Outlet
For manual resuscitation, use the 15 mm Patient Supply
Circuit or the Infant Breathing Circuit. The Infant
Breathing Circuit includes 10-mm tubing with a thumb or
finger hole at the patient end.
WARNING:
Using a breathing circuit other than the one supplied
for the Patient Outlet or one that has tubing with an
inner diameter smaller than 10 mm may restrict the
gas flow. This restriction could cause the indication of
the gas flow
and the adjustable airway pressure relief
to be inaccurate. Patient injury could occur.
The actual display may differ in appearance or configuration.
WARNING:
Always monitor the airway pressure, and set appropriate pressure relief during infant
resuscitation. Failure to do so could result in patient injury.
WARNING:
Potential hazards are associated with the delivery of supplemental oxygen. If it is necessary to
administer oxygen, notify the attending physician immediately. Failure to do so could result in
patient injury.
WARNING:
The internal adjustable airway pressure relief is not functional with a self-inflating bag, because
the patient supply is connected to the fresh gas reservoir on the self-inflating bag, rather than
directly to the patient airway. When using a self-inflating bag, always use a suitable external
airway pressure relief valve connected to the patient airway. To obtain maximum flow, turn the
adjustable airway pressure relief knob to the
Max. position. Failure to do so could result in
patient injury.
WARNING:
Using a breathing circuit other than the one supplied may inadvertently restrict the gas flow.
This restriction could cause the indication of the gas flow and the adjustable airway pressure
relief to be inaccurate. Patient injury could occur.
1. Connect the patient circuit to the Patient Outlet.
2. Using the patient supply Flow Rate control, adjust the flow rate to the desired fresh-gas flow rate.
3. Monitor the Airway Pressure, and provide pressure relief in one of these ways:
a. Set the Airway Pressure Relief control to the desired pressure limit according to the color-coded
bands on the Airway Pressure gauge and Airway Pressure Relief control.
