Instructions for use MONSOON 5.6e
27/61 20/09/2010
There are 8 humidification settings (see table at the
right).
Caution:
When using the MONSOON for long-term appli-
cations, e.g. the ICU or longer than 30 minutes
in the operating theatre, humidification must be
used to avoid damage to the respiratory tracts.
During humidification the respiratory tracts
must be routinely monitored for proper humidi-
fication.
Only use sterile water. Never use NaCl for hu-
midification to avoid damage to the vaporiser
unit inside the apparatus.

Connect IV set to IV bottle and completely fill set
with water. The drip chamber should be filled 1/3 of
the way with water.
Now connect the set to the Luer-Lock connection
at the front of the MONSOON. Attach drop counter
to the drip chamber (white ring inside sensor slot)
and plug into the rear of the MONSOON (marked
“Counter”).
Open seals on IV set, select the desired humidifica-
tion level and start Jet.
The notification: “
No water
” will appear which
must be reset with the “
alarm reset
” key.
The ventilation parameters will then be adjusted
downward to quickly supply the internal humidifi-
cation system with water. Once this is completed
the apparatus will return to the previously set pa-
rameters. Humidification is monitored and con-
trolled via the drop sensor.
