Dräger Primus Infinity Empowered - Lower Bar Graph; Starting the Volumeter; Upper Bar Graph; Using the Volumeter Function

Instructions for use Primus Infinity Empowered SW 4.5n 151
Monitoring
Using the volumeter function
To observe and assess ventilation during spontane-
ous breathing and in manual or mechanical ventila-
tion modes.
Upper bar graph
Displays the current inspiratory and expiratory tidal
volume VT, with an additional numerical indication
of the expiratory tidal volume.
The bar graph follows the inspiratory and expiratory
tidal volume VT.
The tidal volume delivered at the end of inspiration
is represented by a bar.
Minute volume leakage is indicated at the end of
the expiratory phase.
Lower bar graph
Volumeter (minute volume measurement).
Numerical indication of the expiratory minute vol-
ume.
The scales of the bar graphs can be configured dur-
ing operation and in Standby, see page 168.
The current expiratory tidal volume is determined
for each breathing cycle; the elapsed time in sec-
onds is shown beside the bar graph and the total
volume is shown above the bar graph.
Starting the volumeter
z Push the rotary knob.
The volumeter is stopped if the rotary knob is
pushed again within 60 seconds. The values are
deleted and the volumeter restarted when the ro-
tary knob is pushed again.
The individual breaths are indicated by units in the
bar graph. The volumeter stops automatically after
60 seconds. The measured values are displayed
for 4 minutes and then deleted.
