Manual Bagging
The layout of the manual bagging option of the NOxBOXmobile is shown below in Figure 9.
The outlet from the standard NOxBOXmobile
flow meter is attached to the rear of the manual
bagging unit. The NO flow rate is still controlled
by the main adjustable flow meters on the
NOxBOXmobile system. The NO flow meter (B,
fig. 9) on the manual bagging unit is purely for a
simple side-by-side reference of flow against the
oxygen flow setting.
The oxygen (O
2
) inlet is to the rear of the
unit and is fitted with a BS5682 1998 fitting
as standard (other standard connections are
possible, contact Bedfont or your distributor for
details). Connect this fitting to an appropriate
O
2
source. The O
2
flow rate can be set by the
manual bagging unit O
2
flow meter (C, Fig. 9),
between 1 and 10 L/min.
The nitric oxide flow is connected to the regular
patient ventilator circuit via the dose line exiting
the left of the unit (need to label this up, Fig. 9).
This inserts into the circuit in the same location
described within the “Connect to Patient”
section (page 12). The NO flow will be delivered
normally through this dose line to the patient
ventilator circuit when the control lever is turned
such that the arrow points towards this dose line
“Ventilator Option”. (create a detail photo of this,
it’s the reverse of the control position above).
The manual bagging system can be connected
up to the outlet valves D (for NO flow) and E
(for O
2
flow). This allows a swift transfer of the
delivery gas feeding the ventilator, to be simply
diverted to the manual bagging apparatus by
turning the control lever (A, Fig. 9) such that the
arrow points towards the flow meters, “Manual
Option” (as pictured above).
IMPORTANT: A small delay may occur on
switching the system between ventilator flow
and manual bagging flow. Allow time for the
pneumatic flow to be read by the INO monitor
before making fine-tune adjustments. This may
take up to 2 minutes.
