Patient Circuits - ResMed Elisee 350 Clinical Manual

4.2 Patient circuits

The Elisée 350 can be operated with a single or double circuit, and has the option of an
interchangeable expiratory valve system.
The Elisée 350 can be used with circuits of the following diameters:
•
15 mm for ventilation with a tidal volume between 50 and 300 mL ("paediatric" circuits)
•
22 mm for ventilation with a tidal volume > 300 mL ("adult" circuits).
CAUTION
•
The ventilator automatically detects the patient circuit type and its characteristics during
the manual test (see "3 Manual test" on page 48). This test must be performed each
time the circuit is changed (type, brand, configuration, etc.) or an accessory is added/
removed.
•
If you change any of the alarm settings, see Section 6.5 on page 74 for instructions on
testing the alarms.
Fitting the circuit support
To fit the double circuit support:
1
Connecting the patient circuit (single or double)
To obtain good performance, it is advisable to use the circuit supplied in the pack (single or
double), or an equivalent circuit. See page 94.
Double circuit
Any circuit can be used with the Elisée 350, whether single or double, with or without water
traps, reusable or single-use, as long as it has the same technical specifications as the
recommended circuit (see "Technical specifications for accessories" on page 94).
