8.3 Nebulizers
8.3.1 General
The nebulizer is intended for administering
drugs to patients requiring mechanical
ventilation or positive pressure breathing
assistance via an endotracheal tube or face
mask/prongs.
The nebulizer operates continuously
regardless of ventilation mode setting. No
extra gas volume is added to the inspiratory
minute volume and ventilator settings and
values are not affected
The SERVO-s Ventilator System must not be
used with jet nebulizers.
Please refer to the manufacturer's operating
manual for instructions on use.
8.3.2 Aerogen Nebulizer System
See Aerogen Nebulizer System's own User
Manual for instructions.
WARNINGS!
• Disconnect the Servo Humidifier/HME
during nebulization; otherwise the
humidifier may become blocked or the
drug may be trapped in the humidifier
• Do not use the nebulizer without a filter
e.g. Servo Duo Guard, connected to the
expiratory inlet of the ventilator.
• During nebulization, carefully monitor the
airway pressure. Increased airway
pressure could result from a clogged
filter. Replace the filter if the expiratory
resistance increases or after maximum
usage time according to filter
specification, whichever comes first.
CAUTION:
If the Aerogen nebulizer is used with active
humidification, then the particle size of the
medication may be affected.
The nebulizer must not be left unattended
when connected to a patient.
