Chapter 7 - Ventilation Auxiliary Common Gas Outlet (CGO) Ventilation (Optional)
104 Apollo Operator’s Manual
Part Number: 90 38 237, 6th edition
If an auxiliary CGO monitoring parameter has to
be changed during ventilation:
• Press the soft key for the
parameter to be changed, turn
the confirm knob to the desired
value, and press knob to
confirm.
Note: Auxiliary CGO monitoring can also be
started without presetting values:
• Press the >Aux CGO< key
located at the bottom of the
display panel, and press the
confirm knob. Default parameter
values are used.
Note: There is 15-second timeout period for
making ventilation mode changes, with a
5-second audible tone sequence after the
first 10 seconds. If the new setting is not
confirmed within the timeout period, the
current ventilation setting remains in effect.
Airway pressure (PAW) and the mandatory frequency
(Freq), PPEAK, and PMEAN are measured at the
auxiliary common gas outlet.
Pressure measurement may be impaired by
activating the oxygen flush.
The minute volume (MV) and tidal volume (VT) are
not measured.
Certain alarms are disabled automatically in order to
avoid artifacts. See the “Alarms” chapter for complete
information.
Excess fresh gas can be discharged into the
anesthetic gas scavenging line via the breathing
system of the Apollo. For this purpose, the non-
rebreathing system must be connected to the
Y-piece of the breathing hoses connected to the
breathing system.
WARNING !
If the bag does not inflate, switch to the Apollo
internal breathing system.
CAUTION !
Ambient air may become contaminated with
anesthetic agent when using non-rebreathing
systems.
