Viasys Infant Flow SiPAP
• The INOmax DS
IR
adds NO/N
2
gas flow to the breathing circuit flow in proportion to the NO setting
(up to 10% at 80 ppm) and subtracts gas from the breathing circuit via gas sampling at a nominal
flow rate of 0.23 L/min.
• These effects change the flow going to the nasal adapter and can therefore impact the CPAP level
established by specific flow settings (See table below). The maximum flow error is approximately
11% at two L/min which is within the accuracy of the flow meter specification (+/-15%).
• It is recommended that after an NO setting change the user checks the CPAP level on the Infant
Flow SiPAP front panel display and adjusts as necessary.
