Instructions for use MONSOON 5.6e
20/09/2010
10/61
Indications for Use
Always have a manual resuscitator ready when using a Jet ventilator in the event of insufficient CO
2
elimination or insufficient oxygenation in the patient.
Oxygen saturation and CO
2
should be routinely monitored via capnograph and pulse oximeter or
blood gas analysis.
With long-term use of the Jet apparatus routinely check the function of the mucous membranes of the
trachea for sufficient humidification to prevent desiccation. Since the MONSOON features an efficient
heating and humidification system no problems have occurred in the field.
A large number of surgical procedures of the ventilation system are performed through the use of la-
ser. This poses a risk of flammable materials (e.g. catheter, swab, residual tissue) in the operating field
igniting, which could be further promoted by an increased concentration of oxygen.
Laser procedures may therefore only be performed together with the Jet catheter “Laserjet”.
The MONSOON features a function specifically for laser procedures allowing the user to set the oxy-
gen concentration to be administered during a laser procedure. This feature is activated with the
Laser
on/off
switch, the blender as quickly as possible regulates at the set default oxygen concentration of <
40 %Vol, the concentration cannot be increased with active laser function. Once the blender reaches
an oxygen concentration of < 40 %Vol the notification “
Laser OK
”
is displayed.
Once the laser procedure is completed or the function is deactivated the blender automatically returns
to the last O
2
value setting.
The notification “
Laser OK
” merely refers to having reached the default oxygen concentra-
tion in the blender. An increased oxygen concentration may still be present in the respirato-
ry tracts of the patient as the ventilation parameters or constricted respiratory tracts results
in a decreased depletion of the oxygen.
