Dräger Carina

Operation
74 Instructions for use Carina SW 3.2n
 Observe the instructions for use of the oxygen
source used, e.g., the O
2 concentrator.
Connecting the O2 concentrator to
Carina
1 Remove the protective cap (A) from the LPO
connection (B).
2 Connect the O
2 supply hose (C) to the LPO
connection.
3 Connect the O2 supply hose to the oxygen
source (D). Observe the instructions for use for
the O2 concentrator.
WARNING
Missing O2 supply
Patients who require an increased O
2 concen-
tration are at risk in the event of failure of the
oxygen source.
Make sure there is an emergency oxygen sup-
ply, e.g., O2 from compressed gas cylinders.
CAUTION
Insufficient O2 supply
If the O
2 supply is insufficient (e.g., because of a
kinked LPO hose), the patient will not receive the
increased O
2 concentration from the LPO supply.
In this case an alarm is not triggered.
In the case of patients who require an increased
O2 concentration use external O2 monitoring.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
The patient will be at risk if unapproved hose
systems are used between the device and the
oxygen supply.
Only use hoses approved for medical use and
for use with oxygen.
NOTE
The automatic O2 mixing of the device does not
operate in LPO mode. The O2 concentration can
only be set by the following parameters:
– For leakage valve: as a function of Pmean and
LPO flow
– For expiratory valve: as a function of minute
volume and LPO flow
NOTE
If O2 is supplied simultaneously from the central
gas supply or gas cylinder and from the O
2 con-
centrator the LPO feed will be blocked.
