1. Introduction
1.1 About This Manual
This user manual details the operation of the
SLE4000 and SLE5000 infant ventilators. The
difference between the SLE4000 and SLE5000
ventilator is that the SLE5000 has two extra modes
of operation, these being HFO and HFO+CMV.
The user manual will from this point onwards refer
to the SLE4000 and SLE5000 as “the ventilator”.
Where the user manual details an operation or
mode, specifically HFO or HFO+CMV then a
statement will appear stating, “SLE5000 only”.
The following are the external differences between
the SLE4000 and SLE5000 ventilators.
A. Overlays (SLE5000 overlays are blue, SLE4000
overlays are green).
B. Installed software. (Start up screens and Mode
select panels.)
1.2 Intended Use
The ventilator is designed for use on patients up to
20kg, in conventional ventilation. In high frequency
oscillation ventilation up to 20kg, dependant on lung
condition (SLE5000 only). The ventilator is designed
for “Continuous Operation”.
1.3 Intended Users
The ventilator is to be used by appropriately trained
and authorized personnel only. In this manual they
will be referred to as the “User”.
Note: HFO and HFO+CMV modes are not
available on the SLE4000 infant ventilator.
Note: All the graphics within this manual have
been produced with the N6647 test lung and
are not representative of actual clinical data.
