Fitting O2 sensor capsule
– when using the system for the first time
– when the display reads:
O2 measurement inop
– when calibration can no longer be performed.
● Tilt control unit upwards.
1 Turn port downwards or to the left.
2 Use coin to loosen screw, and remove protective
cover.
3 Loosen the two knurled screws and open the sensor
housing.
4 Insert new sensor capsule.
The sensor end with the circular tracks on the
contacts goes into the housing.
● Close the sensor housing securely with the two
knurled screws.
● Screw protective cover back in place.
● Dispose of the used sensor, please refer to
page 144.
Note on the Use of Heat and
Moisture Exchangers
The use of a heat and moisture exchanger (HME) in the
patient connection can increase breathing resistance
considerably.
An increase in breathing resistance will lead to greater
effort in spontaneous breathing and greater trigger effort
during assisted ventilation. Under unfavourable
conditions, an increase in breathing resistance can lead
to an inadvertent PEEP.
This breathing resistance in the patient hose system
cannot be monitored by the ventilator.
● Therefore you should regularly check the condition of
the patient and the ventilator's measured values for
volume and resistance.
● Follow the Instructions for Use of the heat and
moisture exchanger (HME).
● Do not use the heat and moisture exchanger (HME)
at the same time as a medicament nebuliser or
humidifier!
