Precautions During Operation
WARNING !
The operator of the ventilator must still
assume full responsibility for proper
ventilation and patient safety when switching
off flow measurement during nasal CPAP.
Use appropriate external monitoring to assure
patient's oxygenation status and to detect
apnea.
WARNING !
In case of malfunction of any of the built-in
monitoring, a substitute must be provided in
order to maintain an adequate level of moni-
toring. The operator of the ventilator must still
assume full responsibility for proper ventila-
tion and patient safety in all situations. This is
particularly important when, during a nebulizer
treatment, the Babylog flow sensor has been
removed to protect it against contamination.
WARNING !
If a fault is detected in the ventilator and its
life support functions are in doubt, ventilation
must be started without delay with an inde-
pendent ventilation device (resuscitation bag)
- using PEEP and/or increased inspiratory O2
concentration where necessary and appro-
priate. The unit should then be removed from
use and serviced by an authorized service
technician.
WARNING !
Whenever a patient is connected to the venti-
lator, constant attention by qualified medical
staff is required in order to provide immediate
corrective action in case of a malfunction.
Not any and every critical condition can be
expected to cause a ventilator alarm.
WARNING !
Always use ventilator that has been cleaned
and disinfected and has been successfully
tested to be ready for operation.
CAUTION !
Always hold end cuffs when pulling a circuit from
a port. Otherwise damage to the patient circuit
will result.
CAUTION !
If Air and O2 supply lines are contaminated with
particles or moisture, as is likely during the use
with a medical air compressor, use high pressure
line filters that retain at least 0.1 micron particles
and stop water droplets (e.g. Dräger part no.
D 800 130, D 800 132).
CAUTION !
Do not place containers of liquids on top of the
Babylog 8000 plus ventilator. Liquids penetrating
the ventilator can cause equipment malfunction
and damage.
WARNING !
The ventilator is ready for operation only when:
- it is completely assembled with all required
auxiliary equipment in place,
- all sensors are calibrated (O2, Flow),
- all checks have been completed successfully.
WARNING !
Always use safety valve when connecting
sampling CO2 or NO monitors. Otherwise
negative airway pressures may result in the
event of a blocked inspiratory circuit.
WARNING !
To maintain grounding integrity, connect only
to a "hospital grade" receptacle. Always
disconnect supply before servicing.
