Warning: packaging
If the packaging of any part or the part itself is damaged, this part cannot be used and must be discarded and disposed of.
Also check that the holes of the generator and of the prongs /masks are not blocked. In the event of blockage, the products in
question must not be used.
Structure and set-up of the system (disposable bonnets):
(1) Connect the circuit set to the ventilator and humidifier. If necessary,
use the extra connectors. Insert the temperature sensors completely,
until the tip reaches the gas flow.
(2) Connect Miniflow ® to the inspiratory and expiratory tubes If your
ventilator requires external pressure measurement, insert the T piece
for pressure measurement in the expiration part, where you can insert
the pressure line and connect it to the ventilator.
(3) Close the prong adapter of the Miniflow ® with your finger and adjust
the nCPAP parameters on the ventilator, e.g. the pressure. If this is not
possible, check the connections to see if one is leaking. If all
connections are correct and Miniflow
® is the reason for the failure,
discard this Miniflow ® and dispose of it.
Important instruction: defective Miniflow ®
If Miniflow
®
is not working correctly, it may not be used.
(4) Select a prong or mask with the aid of the measuring tape. The prong
should be selected such that it is large enough to seal the entire
nostril. The mask should be selected such that it fits precisely along
the sides of the nostrils. A prong is placed on the Miniflow
® generator

upper lip. The mask is attached such that it conforms to the shape of
the nose.
Instruction: prongs and masks
Always use the largest possible prong to avoid leaks and ensure the best
possible positioning
–
the smaller the leak is, the higher and more stable the
CPAP pressure is
