28.2 Generic 10mm Re-usable Patient
Circuit
The circuit must be clean and sterilized before use.
It is designed for use in combination with a Servo
controlled humidifier.
Clean and sterilize before and after use. It is
recommended that a high quality bacteria filter (SLE
part no. N2029) is fitted at the fresh gas connection
to the humidifier inlet, however the circuit may be
used without. Connect the patient circuit as shown
in the diagram and described below.
1. Humidifier Supply Line
If a bacteria filter is being used, fit the short piece of
tube ITEM C, to the ventilator outlet marked ‘Fresh
Gas to Patient’. Fit the bacteria filter into this tube
(Make sure the arrow points towards the patient).
Take the loose length of tube ITEM 1 and connect
the free end of this to the bacteria filter and the
adaptor end to the humidifier inlet. If a bacteria filter
is not being used, connect the loose length of tube
ITEM 1 directly between the ‘Fresh Gas to Patient’
ventilator outlet and the humidifier inlet.
2. Inspiratory Supply Line
Take the main patient circuit and fit the tube with the
large connector to the humidifier outlet. Plug the
humidifier heated wire supply onto electrical
connector, ITEM H
3. Expiratory Supply Line
Take the tube with the connector and fit to the
exhalation port of the ventilator. Position water trap
ITEM K, in an upright position at the lowest point in
the circuit limb.
4. Proximal Airway Pressure Line
Connect the small diameter clear tube from the
patient circuit to the proximal airway port on the
ventilator.
5. Temperature Monitoring
Two ports are provided for dual temperature probes,
one in the connector on the humidifier outlet (next to
the heated wire inlet) and a second port in the ET
Manifold, ITEM 5.
Sterilizing of the re-usable patient circuit
Disassemble the circuit before sterilizing
Do not immerse the circuit in any liquid.
Autoclave with pure dry saturated steam at:
134ºC (277ºF) (Allowable variation of temperature
of +3ºC) at 220kPa (32psi) with a minimum holding
time of 3 minutes
or
121ºC (248ºF) (Allowable variation of temperature
of +3ºC) at 96kPa (14.1psi) with a minimum holding
time of 15 minutes.
