VENTILATOR SET UP AND USE
5-14
OPRHT50NA B0908
Socket (Fresh Gas Intake port) of the HT50 Filter Cover.
Rotate the mixer 1/4 turn clockwise to secure it into place.
5. Connect the oxygen hose DISS fitting to the oxygen supply
and secure the fitting.
6. Open the supply pressure valve slowly and listen to verify that
there is no hiss, indicative of a leak. Do not use the oxygen
mixer with a leak in the system.
7. Set the entrainment mixer dial to the desired concentration.
WARNING
Ensure that the oxygen supply is enabled prior to
powering the HT50 On when the Air/Oxygen Entrainment
Mixer is secured in place. Otherwise, stress to the internal
pump will occur and gas delivery to the patient will be
compromised.
OXYGEN BLENDING BAG KIT
(Optional Accessory)
This Oxygen Blending Bag Kit is designed for exclusive use with
the Newport HT50 ventilator. The Oxygen Blending Bag Kit (p/n
HT600044) allows the user to ventilate patients with oxygen
enriched gas of up to 100% oxygen.
WARNING
The Oxygen Blending Bag Kit is designed to
operate with hospital grade O
2
supply. The supply should not
exceed 10 L/min flow to the oxygen blending bag.
NOTE:
Before attaching the Oxygen Blending Bag, make sure that
the three hold-down screws on the Filter Cover are tight. If the
screws are not tight, ambient air may enter the HT50 from around
the inlet cover. This may change the oxygen enrichment level
delivered to the patient when the Oxygen Blending Bag is in use.
WARNING
Keep the oxygen supply tubing (and cylinder)
away from traffic areas.
WARNING
Using an oxygen concentrator as the oxygen
supply source may effect the level of oxygen enrichment
because in most cases oxygen concentrators do not supply
100% oxygen. Use an oxygen monitor to verify FIO2 delivery.
WARNING
Any change in settings or any change in patient
assisted breathing patterns that alters delivered minute
volume will alter the level of oxygen enrichment.
