Monitoring begins automatically when a valid patient signal is detected for greater than
10 seconds. For more information about the Masimo pulse oximetry technology that the
ventilator uses, see Appendix C, Pulse Oximeter Principles.
12. Attach Patient
After you confirm that the ventilator is operating correctly, detach the test lung (if used in the
Operational Test) from the patient circuit. Attach the patient airway (endotracheal tube,
supraglottic airway or tracheotomy tubes) or mask to the patient circuit connection port.
Note:
If there are circuit-related alarms during set up or initial use, such as Disconnect, PEEP
Leak, Low Airway Pressure, or Auto PEEP, check all circuit connections and the
exhalation valve.
Warning!
Never leave the patient unattended.
Warning!
Always assure that there is an alternate means of providing mechanical ventilation.
A bag-valve resuscitator and an appropriate mask for the patient being ventilated
should be immediately available.
Warning!
Do not connect the patient to the ventilator until you determine that the ventilator is
functioning properly and that the ventilator parameters are set correctly for the
patient.
Warning!
Do not connect anything to the USB connection. The USB connection does not provide
any signal output or input to the user. The USB connection is a tooled access used
during service of the device.
