Switching On
Vamos initially displays the selection menu for the volatile
anesthetic agents and prompts the user to select the
anesthetic agent used.
The previously selected anesthetic agent is marked with an
arrow (example:
j
Hal).
●
Turn dial knob to select the anesthetic agent you are using.
Press dial knob to confirm.
If you wish to measure a previously selected anesthetic agent
again:
●
Simply press dial knob to confirm.
If Vamos has been switched off for less than 3 minutes it
automatically switches to measurement mode after the start-up
and test routines. In this case the »
« key does not have to be
pressed. Vamos starts measurement with all parameters set as
before it was switched off.
The CO
2
concentration is represented as a breath by breath
real-time waveform.
Below this waveform, the following numeric values are
displayed:
— Inspiratory concentration of the volatile anesthetic agent
used,
— End-tidal concentration of the volatile anesthetic agent
used,
— Inspiratory N

and a

WARNING !
The Vamos monitor cannot automatically recognize the
anesthetic agent used. The respective anesthetic agent
must always be set manually.
Otherwise, incorrect measurements will result.
WARNING !
The Vamos monitor cannot recognize anesthetic gas
mixtures. Consequently, measurements will be incorrect
if more than one anesthetic agent are present of one
time!
