⇒ If not using a heated wire circuit, placement of a water
trap at the lowest point of the inspiratory limb is highly
recommended.
NOTE: Follow the humidifier manufacturer’s
instructions for the operation of the humidifier.
NOTE: If a heated wire circuit is required, use the
VersaMed inlet equipment (patient Wye with one-way
valve and exhalation valve). Replace the VersaMed
inspiratory tubing with the heated wire tubing.
WARNING: To prevent water and/or secretions from
entering the sensor tubings, always keep the patient
sensor tilted upward.
2.4.4 Synchronized Nebulizer Device
If required, a Synchronized nebulizer device may be connected
to the machine.
⇒ 100% Oxygen is used as a driver gas for the Nebulizer.
Thus an external high-pressure oxygen supply must be
connected to the machine to enable the Nebulizer
operation.
To activate the nebulizer you need to select the High
option in the Oxygen Supply in the advance menu (see
section 4.3.4 on page 132).
1. Connect the Nebulizer tube to
the Nebulizer outlet on the front
panel. The nebulizer icon
appears in the lower bar of the
display, showing that the
nebulizer is connected but not
activated.
