III. Protocol: Setup Instructions - GO

VENT™ (continued)
4.4.4 STEP [2]: Verify PIP ~25 cm-H2O
The second step in setting up the
GO
2
VENT™ is to set the patient’s Peak
Inspiratory Pressure, or PIP. Verify PIP
pressure at approximately 25 cm-H2O
(factory pre-set). Adjust pressure dial to achieve desired peak
pressure. Adjust the pressure dial to the desired setting.
Note: Indicated pressures are approximate and may vary depending
on conditions and settings. Verify with a manometer.
Note: Indicated peak pressure is printed on the
pressure dial. PEEP is about 1/5
th
of set PIP.
Indicated pressures are approximate and
depend on conditions and settings. Verify with
a manometer by connecting between
modulator and patient connector. I-time is counted off
manually (1-1000, 2-1000, ...) or with a watch.
Note: Typical required supply pressure is 45 to 55 PSIG. Supply
pressures from 39 to 80 PSIG may be used if the flow is
adjusted to 40 L/min ± 10%. The GO
2
VENT™ will deliver 40
L/min against a patient pressure of 20 to 40 cm-H2O when
connected directly to a 50 PSIG source. Lower flows are
obtainable with flowmeter adjustment. Use minimum flow of
10 L/min for best results.
4.4.5 STEP [3]: FUNCTION CHECK - CONNECT TO PATIENT
Once your flow and pressure have been set,
perform a function check on the unit before
connecting it to the patient. This is accomplished
by occluding the patient connection port and
verifying that the modulator opens and the
pressure does not exceed 60 cm-H
2
O.
Note: It is very important to be trained in the correct
application of the face mask before any attempt
is made to use the GO
2
VENT™.
Note: For use with a mask, clear mouth and airway of visible foreign
bodies and use accepted techniques to ensure correct position
of airway. Hold mask firmly against face ensuring a tight seal
while keeping head in correct position. For use with
endotracheal tube, connect patient adaptor directly to
endotracheal tube.
4.4.6 STEP [4]: ADJUST RATE
Adjust rate dial to achieve desired
respiratory rate. The GO
2
VENT™ may be set
in a spontaneous pressure support mode by
PIP Label
