Nebulization
• Servo Humidifier/HME must be
disconnected during nebulization
otherwise the humidifier may be blocked
(page 128).
• The heated humidifier must be switched
off during nebulization. Otherwise the
particle size may be affected (page 128).
• During nebulization a filter must be
connected to the expiratory inlet of the
ventilator. Always carefully monitor the
airway pressure during nebulization.
Increased airway pressure could be
caused by a clogged filter. The filter should
be replaced if the expiratory resistance
increases or every 24 hours when the
nebulizer is being used.
• When a Servo Ultra Nebulizer is used,
always consult the drug manufacturer
regarding the appropriateness of
ultrasonic nebulization for certain
medications (page 128, 187).
• The nebulizer must not be used without
buffer liquid (sterile water). Otherwise the
ultrasonic generator crystal may break
(page 129, 187).
• To avoid explosion hazards, flammable
agents such as ether and cyclopropane
must not be used with this device. Only
agents which comply with the
requirements on non-flammable agents in
the IEC standard “Particular requirements
for electrical safety of anaesthetic
machines” are suitable.
• For adult/pediatric patients, never fill the
medication cup with more than 10 ml
(page 129).
• For neonatal patients, never fill the
medication cup with more than 4 ml
(page 129).
• If the patient unit of the nebulizer is tilted,
the drug can flow into the patient´s lungs
or the ventilator.
• The nebulizer must not be left unattended
when connected to a patient.
• Continuously check that the buffer liquid
level is between MIN. and MAX. during
nebulization (page 187).
• During nebulization: Continuously check
that moisture is generated in the
medication cup (page 187).
• When the ventilator is running on batteries
the nebulizer module is inoperative, to
reduce the power consumption
(page 187).
• For information about the stand alone
Aeroneb Professional Nebulizer System,
refer to separate manual.
Cleaning
• All personnel should be aware of the risk
of parts being infected when
disassembling and cleaning the ventilator
(page 191).
• After removing the Expiratory cassette, do
not pour any fluid into the Expiratory
cassette compartment (page 196).
