Pressure Relief Valve
The pressure relief valve (Part No.
POP120A) is shown in Figure 1.2.
The pressure relief valve is located on the back of the unit. It functions
as a mechanical pressure safety device which provides protection for
the patient against high pressure. This is accomplished by bleeding
off gas and limiting pressure in the circuit at a preset pressure. This
setting is achieved by turning the knurled knob on the pressure relief
valve either clockwise or counterclockwise.
(The pressure relief valve is set to
0 cmH2O before being shipped from
the FACTORY.)
Exhalation Valve
The exhalation valve for adults only (Part No.
EXH100A) is shown in
figure
1.3a.
Figure 1.3b shows the exhalation valve assembly for use on neonatal
through adult range of patients.
