PRECAUTIONS
Maximum tension on pressurised hoses and fittings: 5 kg (49 N).
Max. distance [6] from patient to hand control unit [4
-
5]: 100 cm.
Maximum distance from patient to gas outlet [6+7] : 300 cm.
Maximum distance from patient to gas outlet using extension
hose [6+7+13]: 450 cm.
When connecting the NCCD QC [8] to gas outlet, make sure the
pressure release handle [5] is not compressed.
NCCD is to be used with pressurised HeliOx as drive gas at depth.
Compressed air can be used at surface. Use of air as drive gas can
significantly limit the NCCD functionality in a hyperbaric
environment.
NCCD can be used along with defibrillator pads from an AED.
Make sure to place the pads under the NCCD chest belt.
After use:
After use, make sure to disconnect the NCCD from the gas outlet,
and execute a couple of compressions to bleed off pressure from
the system. Be aware of pinching hazard.
