The O
2
enrichment function delivers for adults and pediatrics
100% oxygen for 2 minutes. For neonates the applied oxygen
concentration during the enrichment maneuver is increased by
25% of the last oxygen setting (example: last oxygen setting
40%, resulting oxygen concentration during O
2
enrichment
maneuver 50%).

This function is useful for pre-oxygenation
before tracheal suctioning, or for other clinical applications.
To start oxygen enrichment, press the
O
2
enrichment
key.
After a short time, which is required for the oxygen concentra-
tion to rise, the device starts delivering 100% oxygen (adult
and pediatric) or the current oxygen setting increased by 25%
of the setting (neonate). Afterward the device resets the con-
centration to the previous operator-set value.
The currently applied oxygen concentration is displayed on the
oxygen control knob (green).
To stop delivery of O
2
enrichment before the 2-minute period
finishes, press the key again, or manually activate the oxygen
control. This control displays the last value set, which can now
be adjusted. The device resumes ventilation at the set
oxygen concentration.
12.3 Suctioning tool
NOTE:
• The suctioning tool is inactive during NIV, NIV-ST and
nCPAP-PS.
• The pre- and post oxygenation is displayed with a
green O
2
control and timer (maximum 120 seconds).
During suctioning, the patient’s secretions can escape from the
tubing. When using the suctioning tool, the ventilation stops
and prevents secretions from escaping.
The suctioning tool is directly accessible using the
O
2
enrich-
ment
key.
1. Not available in Japan and USA. in these markets 100% O
2
is applied
during maneuver.
