Auxiliary Common Gas Outlet
Use the optional Auxiliary Common Gas Outlet (ACGO) switch to
direct the fresh gas flow through the ACGO port on the front of the
system. The ACGO may be used to provide fresh gas to an auxiliary
manual breathing circuit.
Mechanical ventilation is not available when using an auxiliary
manual breathing circuit with fresh gas from the ACGO. The Bag/
Vent switch, APL valve, and CO2 absorber are not part of the
external circuit. Volume and pressure monitoring are not available.
O2 monitoring of fresh gas is available when the ACGO is selected 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 circuit O2 value obtained from the airway module.
The Bag/Vent switch and the APL valve do not control
the ACGO or any breathing circuit connected to the
AGCO. Do not use these controls when using a breathing
circuit with fresh gas from the ACGO. Patient injury may
occur.
Volume and pressure monitoring are not available
through the system when using the ACGO port. Monitor
the patient using other methods.
Do not use an external ventilator on the ACGO. Do not
use the ACGO to drive external ventilators or for jet
ventilation.
The maximum pressure at the ACGO can be up to 55
kPa (8 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.
Using the ACGO
1.
Set the ACGO switch to the ACGO position.
Fresh gas flows through the ACGO port.
Fresh gas oxygen concentration is displayed on the screen.
2. Set the alarm limits to clinically appropriate settings.
3. To stop fresh gas flow through the ACGO port, set the ACGO
switch to the circle circuit position.
Displayed fresh gas oxygen concentration may not reflect FiO2
during spontaneous breathing or in rebreathing circuits. Use an
external O2 monitor if using a rebreathing circuit on ACGO.
