For your safety and that of your patients
14 Instructions for use Carina SW 3.2n
Monitoring ventilation
The built-in monitoring facilities monitor the follow-
ing parameters:
– Airway pressure
– Inspiratory minute volume
– Applied minute volume (without leakage com-
pensation)
– Apnea alarm time
– Disconnection time
– Mean airway pressure
– Respiratory rate
– Leakage minute volume
Changes in these parameters may be caused by:
– Acute changes in the patient's condition
– Incorrect settings and faulty handling
– Device malfunctions
– Failure of power and gas supplies
If the built-in monitoring fails, use substitute moni-
toring.
Backup ventilation with an independent
manual ventilation device
CAUTION
Risk of electric shock
If a faulty device without safety extra-low voltage
(SELV) is connected to the medical device, there
is a risk of electric shock from the housing of the
medical device.
Only connect devices with safety extra-low volt-
age (SELV) to the connections for the serial port
and the nurse call.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
If a fault is detected in the medical device, its
life-support functions may no longer be as-
sured.
Ventilation of the patient using an independ-
ent ventilation device must be started without
delay, if necessary with PEEP and/or an in-
creased inspiratory O2 concentration (e.g.,
with a manual resuscitator).
