8. Set up and Operation of the Humidifier base
(1)
Position the Humidifier base
Mount the heater base using appropriate bracket and make sure the heater base is placed lower
than patient position.
(2)
Placing Chamber
Before placing the chamber onto the heater base, check the base unit and
the chamber for damage.
a) Verify the heater base is clean and dry.
Then, place the chamber on the heater base and make sure it sits
properly on the housing as illustrated.
b) Ensure the water feed is correctly assembled and positioned.
Note:
When using auto fill chamber, first place the chamber and then
connect sterile
water pack.
Warning!
◇
Do not fill with water hotter than
30
C
◇
Ensure that the water level in the chamber is correct before use. Failure to ensure correct
water level in the chamber at start-up could result in the under humidification of the patient
(see chamber IFU for details).
◇
Do not exceed maximum water level.
(3)
Attaching heater wire and dual temperature probe
(a) Heater Wire
When using dual heated wire systems connect electrical adaptor 5601000 to the electrical adaptor
power outlet on heater base then connect the cloverleaf connector to inspiratory heated wire limb
and oval connector to the expiratory heated limb.
When using a single heated wire systems connect the electrical adaptor 5600000 to the electrical
power adaptor outlet on heater base then connect cloverleaf connection to the inspiratory heated
wire limb.
(b) Dual Temperature Probe
Connect the dual temperature probe to the heater base unit and insert the temperature sensors in
to the inspiratory limb ports as shown in diagram on page 15.
Warning !
◇
Ensure the dual temperature probe is fully inserted into the port. Otherwise it could cause an
abnormal temperature reading.
◇
Prevent sensor portion of the dual temperature probe from being in contact with the heater
wire.
◇
Do not place dual temperature probe into the incubator or in any other heated place. It may
affect the temperature control.
(4)
Connect patient circuit to chamber
Set up for single and dual heated wire systems shown on page 15.
(5)
Connect power cord to AC wall socket
NOTE:
Do not place the heater base on such a place where pushing in/out of the power cord plug is
disturbed.
(6)
Turn on gas supply equipment (Ventilator)
Connect the ventilator to the gas supply and turn on and carry out pressure testing applicable to the
ventilator protocol.
Warning !
Conduct pressure test of breathing circuit including chamber, before connecting the device to the
patient.
