38 Using the ventilator
5.12 Alternative ventilation procedures
If MEDUMAT Standard a ceases to function during a
ventilation procedure, the following alternatives can
be applied:
Ventilation bags
1. Remove the patient valve from the tube or the
mask.
2. Replace it with the ventilation bag, e.g. a Weinmann
COMBIBAG WM 11000, and perform manual
ventilation.
A ventilation aid
Alternatively, you can perform mouth/mask ventila-
tion with a Weinmann LIFEWAY WM 10580.
Exhaustion of oxygen supply
In emergency situations when the oxygen supply
runs out, MEDUMAT Standard a can also function
with compressed air.
