Dräger RW82 - Resuscitation Module (Optional)

PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT 5 Feb 04
4 - 22
Resuscitation Module (Optional)
WARNING:
For prolonged ventilation, use a heat and moisture
exchanger or heated humidification. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury.
Patient Supply with the 15 mm Outlet
For manual resuscitation, use the 15 mm Patient Supply
Circuit, or Infant Breathing Circuit (10 mm tubing with a
thumb or finger hole at the patient’s end).
WARNING:
Using a breathing circuit other than the one supplied for
the Patient Outlet or one that has tubing with an inner
diameter smaller than 10 mm may inadvertently restrict
the gas flow such that the indication of the gas flow and
the adjustable airway pressure relief may be
inaccurate. Infant injury could occur.
WARNING:
Always monitor the airway pressure, and set
appropriate pressure relief during infant resuscitation. Failure to do so could result in infant
injury.
WARNING:
Potential hazards are associated with the delivery of supplemental oxygen. If it is necessary to
administer oxygen, notify the attending physician immediately. Failure to do so could result in
infant injury.
WARNING:
The internal adjustable airway pressure relief is not functional with a self-inflating bag because
the patient supply is connected to the fresh gas reservoir on the self-inflating bag rather than
directly to the patient airway. When using a self-inflating bag, always use a suitable external
airway pressure relief valve connected to the patient airway. To obtain maximum flow, turn the
adjustable airway pressure relief knob to the Max. position. Failure to do so could result in infant
injury.
WARNING:
Using a breathing circuit other than the one supplied may inadvertently restrict the gas flow
such that the indication of the gas flow and the adjustable airway pressure relief may be
inaccurate. Infant injury could occur.
1. Connect the patient circuit to the Patient Outlet.
2. Using the patient supply Flow Rate control, adjust the flow rate to the desired fresh gas flow rate.
3. Monitor the Airway Pressure, and provide pressure relief in one of these ways:
