gvhnkkkjOpen the supply pressure valve slowly and listen to verify that there is
no hiss, indicative of a leak. Do not use the oxygen mixer with a leak in the
system.
7. Set the entrainment mixer dial to the desired concentration.
Ensure that the oxygen supply is enabled prior to
powering on the FLIGHT 50 Ventilator and after the
Air/Oxygen Entrainment Mixer is secured in place.
Otherwise, stress to the internal pump will occur and gas
delivery to the patient will be compromised.
5.6.2 Oxygen Blending Bag Kit (Optional Accessory)
The Oxygen Blending Bag Kit is designed for use with the FLIGHT 50
Ventilator. The Oxygen Blending Bag Kit (p/n V17-00001-67) allows the
operator to ventilate patients with oxygen enriched gas of up to 100%
oxygen.
The Oxygen Blending Bag Kit is designed to operate with
a hospital grade O
2
supply. The flow rate of the supply to
the oxygen blending bag should not exceed 10 L/min
flow.
Before attaching the Oxygen Blending Bag, make sure that
the three hold-down screws on the Filter Cover are tight. If
the screws are not tight, ambient air may enter the FLIGHT 50
Ventilator from around the inlet cover. This may change the
oxygen enrichment level delivered to the patient when the
Oxygen Blending Bag is in use.
Keep the oxygen supply tubing (and cylinder) away from
traffic areas.
