TRANSPORT CONSIDERATIONS
Portable Operation
MAQUET recommends the following:
1. Battery fully charged prior to starting transport.
2. Back up battery pack available.
3. Altitude changes are compensated for automatically in the
Auto fill
mode or
manually in the
Manual fill
mode.
4. The system must be properly secured when used in an ambulance, helicopter,
or fixed wing aircraft.
The Universal Transport System (UTS) is specifically designed for air and vehicular
transport. The UTS version mechanically attaches to a docking station for high strength
mounting. Refer to additional detail on the UTS on page 5-9 of the CS300 Operating
Instructions.
WARNING:
The user should continually rely on visual alarm messages during high
noise transport situations.
CAUTION:
Prior to transport, ensure that the Helium cylinder yoke handle is tight and
the Helium pressure gauge is a least 25% full. Approximately every 30 minutes during
transport verify that the yoke handle is tight and that a noticeable pressure drop has
not occurred.
NOTE:
Prior to using the system in any other position except vertical, consult with
Technical Service.
NOTE:
For information on outfitting an aircraft for IABP transport contact your
local MAQUET sales representative. See “Accessories” on page 10-8 of the CS300
Operating Instructions for information on the Transport Docking Station.
EffECTS Of ALTITUDE CHANGES DURING AIR TRANSPORTATION
NOTE:
Before using the system in air transportation, check for sufficient supply of
Helium since the balloon will be filled several times.
For proper Operation during air transport, the IABP balloon pressure must adapt to
local atmospheric pressure. In the
Auto fill
mode the system will automatically purge
and fill the IAB when local atmospheric pressure decreases or increases by 25 or 50
mmHg, respectively. These pressure changes occur approximately every 1,000 feet of
rise or 2,000 feet of drop in altitude.
WARNING:
The Auto Fill mode should be used during air transport. If the Auto Fill
mode cannot be used and the Manual Fill mode is required, ensure that a manual fill is
performed at each interval and altitude that an Auto Fill would occur.
