c. Examine the appropriate cylinder pressure gauges on the front of the Gas Supply Module to
ensure that sufficient reserve gas supply is present.
d. Set the handle of the Gas Supply On/Off switch to the On position.
NOTE:
When both wall and tank gas sources are turned on, the system may not always pull gas from the wall
source. It will pull from the source with the highest pressure. Check tank gauges to determine gas source.
Blended Gas Supply (Optional)
WARNING:
If either the air or oxygen gas source pressure is reduced, creating a pressure differential of 207
kPa (30 psi), the microblender alarm sounds. This condition can alter the FiO
2
and flow output
from the microblender. Infant injury could occur.
WARNING:
Always operate the system with medical-grade gases. Failure to do so could result in infant
injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Use air inlet water filters with the low-flow microblender. Replace them in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendation. Failure to do so could result in infant injury or equipment
damage.
WARNING:
Monitor the concentration of oxygen provided and the partial pressure of oxygen in the patient’s
blood (PaO
2
). Failure to do so could result in infant injury.
If present, set the precision blender to the desired oxygen percentage using the blender control knob.
NOTE:
For blender to operate, the Gas Supply On/Off switch must be on.
Suction
CAUTION:
To keep the suction tube from being blocked or damaged when installing a
disposable suction bottle, position the outlet port parallel to the plate. Avoid
kinking of tubing. Equipment damage could occur.
1. Perform one of the following:
a. Check that a clean reusable or disposable suction bottle is installed and properly
connected at the base of the warmer column (Resuscitaire Birthing Room
Warmer only).
OR
b. Check that a clean reusable or disposable suction bottle is installed and properly connected to the
resuscitation equipment storage compartment at the front of the warmer (Resuscitaire Radiant
Warmer only).
NOTE:
A filter is built in on the disposable suction bottle.
