Using an oxygen concentrator as the oxygen supply source
may affect the level of oxygen enrichment, as in most
cases oxygen concentrators do not supply 100% oxygen.

Any change in settings or any change in patient assisted

Installing the Oxygen Blending Bag Kit
The Oxygen Blending Bag Kit attaches into the Fresh Gas Intake port on the
Filter Cover, located on the right side of the FLIGHT 50 Ventilator.
The following materials are required for Installation:
Hospital grade oxygen source
Oxygen 50 psig regulator/flow meter (0-10 L/min) assembly with
small-bore connector
A suitable length of oxygen supply tubing
To install the Oxygen Blending Bag Kit:
1. Remove the three thumb screws from the Filter Cover.
2. Remove the Filter Cover and inspect the filter. Replace the filter, if it is
dirty.
3. Reattach the Filter Cover, ensuring that the three thumb screws are tight.
Before attaching the Oxygen Blending Bag, make sure that
the three hold-down screws on the Filter Cover are tight. If
the screws are not tight, ambient air may enter the FLIGHT 50
Ventilator from around the inlet cover. This may change the
oxygen enrichment level delivered to the patient when the
Oxygen Blending Bag is in use.
4. Press the 30 mm OD outlet of the Oxygen Blending Bag Kit into the Fresh
Gas Intake port of the FLIGHT 50 Ventilator Filter Cover.
5. Attach the oxygen supply tubing to the oxygen flow meter and to the
small-bore connector of the Oxygen Blending Bag Kit.
Keep the oxygen supply tubing (and cylinder) away from
traffic areas.
6. Tug lightly on both ends of the tubing to verify that it is secure.
