Patient hazard - Inadequate oxygen supply due to condensation
Condensation forming in the inspiration tube and entering the patient's
airways can prevent sufficient oxygen supply and ventilation.
▪
Regularly check that no condensation forms in the inspiration tube.
▪
In the event of condensation, disconnect the tube and drain it.
▪
Clinical operators or medical staff decide on the temperature to be set
on the humidifier on their own responsibility.
WARNING
After pressing the adjacent button for about half a
second, the temperature control screen will be
displayed:
The temperature control screen allows you to change
the control temperature at the outlet of the water
chamber (left) and on the sensor near the patient
(right).
Adjust the temperatures by increasing the set value
with the [+] button and decreasing it with the [-]
button. The control temperature at the outlet of the
water chamber can be set between 29 and 37°C,
while the control temperature near the patient can be
set between 30 and 40°C.
The two control temperatures can be set
independently of each other without the control
temperature near the patient being lower than that at
the chamber outlet. To avoid the formation of
condensation, the maximum adjustable gradient
between the temperature near the patient and that at
the outlet of the water chamber must be b1
and +4°C.
Press the [Cancel] button to return to the operating
screen without saving the settings.
Press the [OK] button for about half a second to
confirm the set temperature parameters and return to
the operating screen.
If the changes are not saved within 20 seconds, the
screen closes WITHOUT saving the changes made,
and the operating screen is displayed again.
If no changes are made after ten seconds, the
humidifier automatically returns to the operating
screen.
