IV. VENTILATOR SET-UP
CAUTION:
Antistatic or electrically conductive hoses or tubing should not be used.
A. CONNECTION OF GAS SUPPLY
Using the MVP-10 front-panel flowmeters for mixing:
a)
Connect 50 PSI (345 kPa) oxygen supply to rear-panel fitting marked
POWER OXYGEN.
b) Connect 50 PSI (345 kPa) air supply to rear-panel fitting marked AIR.
c)
If only a single gas supply is used, it must be connected to the
POWER OXYGEN fitting.
d)
If using an external Oxygen Blender, connect 50 PSI (345 kPa)
Blender output to rear-panel fitting marked POWER OXYGEN, or both
POWER OXYGEN and AIR fitting.
In either case, it is essential that:
The supplies are 50 PSI (345 kPa) sources without flow restricting
devices (e.g. flowmeter, valve).
A 50 PSI (345 kPa) supply must always be connected to the
POWER OXYGEN fitting for proper operation of the pneumatic
logic controls.
Hose fittings should be hand tightened to avoid damage to fittings.
The gas supply should be clean and dry (If gas supply contains
moisture, add a moisture trap in the supply line to the MVP-10).
When a pressurized supply is not connected to the AIR fitting, the
air flowmeter valve should be turned off (fully clockwise).
B. CONNECTION OF PATIENT CIRCUIT
a) Place expiration valve on bracket at side of MVP-10 case.
b)
Connect short length of tubing (approx. 1/8" ID x 12" long)
between expiration valve control connection and EXP. VALVE
fitting at rear of MVP-10. (Always connect this tubing first to avoid
mistakes.)
c) Connect small diameter line (1/8" ID) in patient circuit, from WYE,
