Overview
Supplemental O
2
delivery (optional)
The supplemental O
2
delivery supplies pure
oxygen with an exact metered flow, e.g., for O
2
insufflation using a face mask during a regional
anesthesia. The supplemental O
2
delivery is not
only possible in standby mode and during
operation, but also if Fabius is switched off.
The supplemental O
2
delivery can supply
additional inspiratory oxygen for the patient for the
following types of anesthesia:
– Spinal anesthesia
– Epidural anesthesia
– Other regional anesthesia
To increase the O
2
concentration in the breathing
gas, the supplemental O
2
delivery can be used in
combination with a breathing bag
*
.
Functional check of the supplemental
O
2
delivery
– Turn the flow control valve (A)
counterclockwise.
– Check that the float can move freely in the flow
tube.
After the O
2
insufflation is ended, the flow control
valve of the supplementary O
2
delivery must be
completely closed:
Turn the flow control valve (A) clockwise to the
final position stop.
WARNING
Risk due to overpressure
When the patient's connection to the
supplemental O
2
delivery is made using a
breathing circuit without relief valve,
increased pressure may be applied to the
patient.
When connecting the patient, only use a
breathing circuit with relief valve or do not
connect pressure-tight.
WARNING
Risk of fire
The oxygen can ignite when cauterizing near
an oxygen source.
– Make sure that all connections (e.g., Y-
piece, breathing hoses) do not leak.
– Before cauterizing, close the flow control
valve.
– Remove mask.
– Wait a few moments.
