Ventilation
The user is responsible for setting the gas delivery
and ventilation according to the individual patient
status. Patient status must be continually
monitored for any potential changes.
Ventilation mode
ManSpont
ManSpont
(Manual/Spontaneous, manual
ventilation/spontaneous breathing) is a non-
automatic ventilation mode. However, ventilation
monitoring and alarm monitoring are still active.
The selection between manual ventilation and
spontaneous breathing is made on the APL valve.
If the APL valve is in the
Spont
position,
spontaneous breathing is enabled.
In the following examples and illustrations, the
change from
Volume Control
mode to
ManSpont
mode is described:
Changing to spontaneous breathing
1
Turn the APL valve head counterclockwise to
its final position stop.
The label
Spont
and both points are vertical to
each other. The valve head lifts.
The pressure limitation is disabled and the
valve is open for free spontaneous breathing.
2
Set suitable fresh-gas flow.
3
Press the
ManSpont
(A) key.
4
Confirm the new mode.
WARNING
Risk of strangulation
Negligent placement of hoses, cables, and
similar device components can endanger the
patient.
Use particular caution when establishing
connections to the patient.
WARNING
Risk of excessively high airway pressures
If the ventilator fails, the device switches into
the
ManSpont
ventilation mode.
The APL valve should also be set to a
pressure limitation value suitable for the
patient when using automatic ventilation
modes since in case of a ventilator failure the
patient must be ventilated manually.
