Instructions for Use Carina SW 3.n
Preparation
O
2
supply, connect
WARNING
Keep oil and grease away from all oxygen sup-
ply components. Risk of explosion due to
spontaneous combustion!
WARNING
Smoking and naked flames prohibited: fire
hazard.
WARNING
If inspiratory oxygen concentration differs
from ambient air concentration, monitoring of
inspiratory oxygen concentration with adjust-
able high and low alarm limits is needed. Con-
nect external monitor to hose system in
accordance with ISO 21647.
Otherwise no alarm will be activated if actual
inspiratory oxygen concentration differs from
set oxygen concentration.
WARNING
Patients depending on ventilation need either
monitoring of expiratory tidal volume, or mon-
itoring of expiratory minute volume, or moni-
toring of endtidal expiratory CO
2
concentration. Connect appropriate external
monitor to hose system.
Otherwise no alarm will be activated, if
patient's ventilation deteriorates.
WARNING
In the case of patients who require a high O
2
concentration ensure that there is backup
oxygen supply available, e.g. in O
2
cylinders.
WARNING
Make sure there is adequate ventilation at the
rear of Carina. Do not use an O
2
source which
supplies a flow in excess of 10 L/min.
Switch off the source, e.g. an O
2
concentrator
if Carina is not in ventilation mode. Otherwise
there is an increased risk of fire due to the
concentration of oxygen when heat/ignition
and fuel are present.
