Getinge Maquet FLOW-i 4.2 User Manual

Bubble humidifier (option)
To protect patient lung tissue and airways from
drying out, e.g. when bypassing the upper
airways during treatment, the Flowmeter unit
can be fitted with a bubble humidifier. This
requires the tube adapter to be replaced with
the angular adapter. Proceed according to the
steps outlined below.
Before assembly, ensure that the flat seals on
the angular adapter and humidifier adapter
are intact.
1. Attach and secure the angular adapter (A)
to the flowmeter unit by means of the cap
nut and tighten by hand. The angular
adapter shall point vertically downwards
when finished.
A
CAUTION: The Flowmeter unit is connected
to the FLOW-i O
2
outlet and is therefore
dependant on the central gas supply
pressure for its operation. The central gas
supply pressure should be above 300 kPa
(3.0 bar, 44 PSI) when the Auxiliary O
2
and
suction module is connected to the system.
