26.6 Nitric Oxide Delivery Adaptor Kit (SLE Part Nº N2238/50)
This non-sterile circuit kit is for single patient use. It is designed to be used with
an SLE type N5188 circuit, in combination with a Servo controlled humidifier
(Fisher and Paykel Humidifier or equivalent) and an Inhaled Nitric Oxide Delivery
System.
The kit should be fitted as per the diagram and in conjunction with two N4110
scavenging filters. See “Nitric Oxide Therapy” on page 146.
Fitting adaptor kit
Remove the un-heated limb from the N5188 patient circuit (the section of blue
tube between the ET manifold and the temperature probe port). Replace with the
adaptor kit. Connect the delivery and monitor lines to the nitric oxide delivery
system.
Inhaled Nitric Oxide Delivery
Note: Connect the NO/NO
2
hose scavenging filter directly to the exhalation
block. Do not use the N2186/01 silencer with NO Therapy.
Warning: It is very important that the Nitric Oxide Monitor Line is close to
the ET connector and the Nitric Oxide Delivery Line is 20-25mm from the
humidifier temperature probe port to allow adequate gas mixing.
Warning: Nitrous acid & Nitric acid can be formed when Nitrogen Dioxide
and Water are present. After use ensure that any condensate on the
ventilator gas ports is removed by wiping with a dry lint free cloth.
