CareFusion Infant Flow - Infant Flow CPAP and Circuit Set-Up

10
Circuit set-up
1. Gather the nCPAP supplies:
• Infant Flow SiPAP driver
• Single-limb, heated breathing circuit
• Infant Flow LP generator kit
• Infant Flow LP xation device
• Humidier and chamber
• Sterile water bag
2. Attach the water chamber to the humidier and
connect it to the water feed system. Follow the
manufacturer instructions for the proper set-up.
3. Connect the gas delivery tubing (A) to the ow
driver outlet port (I) and humidier chamber port (II).
4. Connect the elbow connector on the heated
breathing circuit (B) to the humidier chamber.
Insert the heater wire plug into the wire socket.
Securely insert the temperature probe in the port on
the circuit elbow (III). Insert the second temperature
probe (IV) into the airway port at the distal end of
the breathing circuit.
5. Connect the non-heated section (C) to the drive line
of the generator assembly (D).
6. Connect the proximal pressure line (E) to the
proximal port on the driver (V) and the pressure
line on the generator.
Temperature probe
When inserting the temperature probe into the
circuit, ensure the probe tip is in the middle of the
gas stream. This allows the gas temperature to be
measured accurately. If the probe is not properly
seated, the temperature measurement accuracy may
be compromised, leading to excessive condensation.
Cover the temperature probe with a reective shield
when used under a radiant warmer or bilirubin light.
