1/ General Information
Indications for Use
• The INOmax DS
IR
(delivery system) delivers INOMAX (nitric oxide for inhalation) therapy gas into the
inspiratory limb of the patient breathing circuit in a way that provides a constant concentration of nitric
oxide (NO), as set by the user, to the patient throughout the inspired breath. It uses a specially designed
injector module, which enables tracking of the ventilator waveforms and the delivery of a synchronized and
proportional dose of NO. It may be used with most ventilators.
• The INOmax DS
IR
provides continuous integrated monitoring of inspired O
2
, NO
2
, and NO and a
comprehensive alarm system.
• The INOmax DS
IR
incorporates a battery that provides up to six hours of uninterrupted INOMAX delivery in
the absence of an external power source.
• The INOmax DS
IR
includes a backup NO delivery capability that provides a fixed flow of 250 mL/min of NO
which along with user supplied 10 L/min of oxygen provides 20 ppm in the gas flow to a patient's breathing
circuit. It may also use the INOblender for backup.
• The target population is controlled by the drug labeling for INOMAX which is currently neonates; refer to the
drug label for specific information. The primary targeted clinical setting is the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
(NICU) and secondary targeted clinical setting is the transport of neonates.
