GE auisys cs2 User Manual

Using the circle circuit
Use the circle circuit mode to combine fresh gas with recirculated
gas from the CO2 absorber. The combined gas flows out through the
inspiratory port. Patient gas is returned to the system through the
expiratory port.
Mechanical ventilation and tidal volume monitoring are available
when using the circle circuit.
O2 monitoring of fresh gas is available automatically when using the
circle circuit if the system has the airway module option or the O2
cell monitoring option. Systems with both an airway module and an
O2 cell will display the O2 values obtained from the airway module.
1. Select the Gas Setup quick key.
2. Select Circle.
Fresh gas oxygen concentration is displayed on the screen.
Fresh gas flow combines with the exhaled gas and exits out
through the inspiratory port.
3. Set the alarm limits to clinically appropriate settings.
Using the non-circle circuit
Use the non-circle circuit mode to divert fresh gas around the
inspiratory check valve and out through the inspiratory port. This
fresh gas source may be used with circuits that do not have CO2
absorbent capability (for example, Mapleson variants). Mechanical
ventilation is not available when using the non-circle circuit. Tidal
volume monitoring is not available when using the non-circle circuit.
O2 monitoring of fresh gas is available automatically when using the
non-circle circuit if the system has the airway module option or the
O2 cell monitoring option. Systems with both an airway module and
an O2 cell will display the O2 values obtained from the airway
module.
Do not use an external ventilator when using the non-
circle circuit. Do not use the non-circle circuit to drive
external ventilators or for jet ventilation.
The maximum pressure at the non-circle circuit can be up
to 27 kPa (4 psi). Use a breathing circuit with a pressure
limiting device to limit the pressure at the patient
connection port, during normal and single-fault
conditions, to less than 12.5 kPa (125 cmH2O) or to the
maximum pressure required by local standards.
1. Select the Gas Setup quick key.
2. Select Non-Circle.
Fresh gas oxygen concentration is displayed on the screen.
Fresh gas flow is diverted around the inspiratory check valve
and out through the inspiratory port.
