Operating Instructions Caleo, Software 2.n
Using O2 Control
Using O2 Control*
z Connect Caleo DISS oxygen connector via O2 supply hose
to an O
2 wall outlet (see page 38).
1 Press button to set O
2 control.
WARNING !
Fire hazards from oxygen !
– No open flames or cigarettes ! Textiles, plastics, and
oils readily ignite in an oxygen enriched atmosphere
and burn with great intensity.
– Keep oxygen valves, connections, and seals free from
oil and grease.
– Open valves on O
2 cylinders slowly.
– Do not operate Caleo in the presence of flammable
anesthetics or disinfectants. Risk of explosion!
– Do not use or store flammable liquids such as alcohol,
ether, or acetone inside the Caleo incubator.
– Do not use electrical equipment inside the patient
capsule unless this equipment is expressly designed
for use in environments that present an explosion
hazard.
WARNING !
Due to the physiological risks from O2, it is mandatory to
monitor O
2 concentrations continuously during the
administration of O
2, either using the integrated
O
2 measurement and control system or an independent
O
2 analyzer.
WARNING !
Always take into consideration the physiological risks
from the administration of oxygen.
Elevated oxygen concentrations inside the incubator
may only be used by or on the order of a physician.
Oxygen is classed as a drug.
It is absolutely essential that such oxygen therapy be
selected and controlled on the basis of the arterially
measured oxygen partial pressure in the infant's blood
(SaO
2 or SpO2). This is the only way to minimize the risk
of both hyperoxemia (with potential for damage to the
eyes by retrolental fibroplasia) and hypoxemia (which
might contribute to intraventricular hemorrhage and
damage to the infant’s brain).
