Nebulizing Medicaments (Optional); Before Medicament Nebulizing - Dräger Babylog 8000 plus Instructions For Use Manual

Nebulizing medicaments (optional)

Possible in all ventilation modes.
CAUTION
Aerosols may block the expiration valve, thus impairing venti-
lation. For this reason, the expiration valve must be replaced
by a clean, sterile one immediately after nebulization.
Aerosols may block the filters, thus impairing ventilation.
Do not install microbacterial filters on the outlet side of
the nebulizer or in the expiration side as this may cause
increased airway resistance!

Before medicament nebulizing

1 Remove plug from the flow sensor.
Acknowledge the warning message on the
Babylog 8000 plus.
When using the separate flow sensor ISO 15 (84 11 130):
2 Detach the flow sensor from the Y-piece and
3 plug the tube catheter cone into the Y-piece.
When using the Y-piece with integral flow sensor (84 10 185):
4 Detach flow sensor insert,
5 insert the sealing plug 84 11 024. The sealing plug is part of
the "medicament nebulizer" conversion kit.
WARNING
The wires of the flow sensor are hot. If the flow sensor
is left in the breathing system for an extended period
during nebulizing without being cleaned, deposits may
build up due to the medicament aerosols and impair
flow measurement.
In the worst case, these deposits may catch fire!
Detaching the plug from the flow sensor is not
sufficient to prevent this happening.
Therefore, before starting medicament nebulization,
remove the flow sensor or remove the flow sensor
insert from the Y-piece.
Remember that there is no monitoring of the minute
volume and no apnoea alarm when the flow sensor
is not fitted!
Additional monitors must be used.
