Positioning the humidifier
Depending on the desired position of the ventilator in relation
to the bed, the hinged arm can be fitted to either side of the
machine.
Attachment on right-hand side:
● Turn both ports to the left.
● Turn Aquapor to the left.
The following description applies when the ventilation hoses
have been attached to the left-hand side.
For ventilating infants
● Use a suitable humidifier, e.g. Fisher & Paykel MR 730 with
humidifier chamber MR 340
and
● use suitable ventilation hoses, see Order List on page 126.
Fitting the Aquapor humidifier
● Prepare Aquapor in accordance with the separate
instructions for use.
● Monitor the breathing gas temperature.
1 Hang the Aquapor with a bracket to the mounting and
tighten the screws.
2 Insert elbow connector into Aquapor.
3 Insert double nozzle into elbow connector.
● Fill Aquapor tank with sterile distilled water to the upper
level.
If using heated paediatric hoses with internal hot wires,
please note:
In the event of Savina failure, high breathing resistance is
to be expected in spontaneous breathing.
● Aquapor should only be used at ambient temperatures
below 30
o
C, to avoid the risk of overheating of the
breathing gas in the event of Aquapor failure.
● Do not use an additional heat and moisture exchanger
(HME) at the same time as a humidifier.
Risk of increased breathing resistance because of
condensation.
