Assembly and use
Equipment needed:
To perform effective CPAP therapy with the Pediflow
®
, the following equipment is needed:
A ventilation device or device which supports CPAP therapy
Pediflow
®
(including mask)
An appropriate tubing set with bent inspiration and expiration tubing. In addition, a chamber for the humidifier is
recommended. The connections to the tubing ends must have the F10 dimension to fit on the Pediflow
®
.
One headgear
Optional for ventilation devices which need external pressure measurement:
a T piece for measuring the pressure (already included in the medin
®
tubing or can be ordered separately
REF 4010)
Warning: Packaging
If the packaging is damaged or if the products themselves are damaged, these parts should not be used and should
be disposed of.
In addition, check the openings of the Pediflow
®
and the mask to ensure they are patent. If the openings are
obstructed, the product affected should not be used.
Assembly:
(1) Check whether the Pediflow
®
is correctly assembled
(Figure 4).
(2) Connect the Pediflow
®
to the inspiration and
expiration tubing (Figure 3). If your ventilation
device requires external pressure measurement,
insert the T piece for pressure measurement in this
connection. The pressure measurement line can
then be inserted in this piece and connected with
the ventilation device.
(3) Seal the mask of the Pediflow
®
by hand and adjust
the CPAP parameters, for example, pressure, on
the ventilation device. If this is not possible, check
the tubing connections for leaks. If all connections
are correct and there is a defect of the Pediflow
®
, it
should not be used and should be discarded.
