12. DEFAULT PARAMETERS
12.1. START VOLUME VENTILATION
12.1.1. OXYGEN SUPPLY
When a high-pressure oxygen source that is connected to an Oxygen Mixer is
not available, the Ventway Sparrow ventilator can accept oxygen from a low-
pressure oxygen source such as a reservoir bag connected to a flow meter.
To do this, use an optional low-pressure oxygen enrichment system attached
to the ventilator air inlet port through an optional Ventway adapter.
Adjust the “O
2
coefficient” parameter on the device through the O
2
enrichment screen, which can be found under the VENT. PARAMS screen, so
that the coefficient is aligned with the actual FiO
2
value given to the patient.
Select the "O
2
ENRICHMENT" option in the VENT. PARAMS menu. The FiO
2
value must be measured with a calibrated external oxygen analyzer.
If a high-pressure oxygen source is available, an Inovytec-approved Oxygen
Mixer can be used to connect to the air inlet port, delivering between 30% to
95% FiO
2
to the patient. Measure FiO
2
with a calibrated external oxygen
analyzer.
The oxygen supply pressure shall be according to manufacturer specifications
(usually 40-60 psi).
See Section 12.1.3. Additional recommended legally marketed components /
accessories for recommended legally marketed reservoirs.
