Ventilation/Handling
Caution!
•
The USB port on the device must only be used for the application scenarios
outlined in the instructions for use. Only USB sticks which conform to the
USB standard 2.0 should be inserted in the USB port, otherwise this
interferes with operation of the unit, putting the patient at risk.
•
Patient and ventilator must be kept under continuous observation during
ventilation.
•
Prolonged ventilation can lead to atrophy of the muscles (dependency of
the patient on ventilation).
•
Prolonged ventilation may lead to the airway drying out. Ensure
adequate conditioning of the respiratory gas.
•
Only apply high ventilation pressures for short periods and only if
medically indicated. Permanently applied high ventilation pressures can
be injurious to the patient.
•
Make sure that the patient valve is not covered or its function impaired,
e.g. by the patient's position.
•
The patient hose systems for the device have different dead spaces.
Please take the dead space into consideration when selecting the
ventilation parameters, particularly when ventilating infants with very
small tidal volumes. Otherwise, there is a risk of insufficient ventilation.
•
Do not place the patient valve of the disposable hose system with
reduced dead space near the O2/Air inlet of the MEDUMAT Transport,
in order to prevent the device sucking in CO
•
Please note that the inspiratory resistance of a disposable hose system
with reduced dead space increases during adult ventilation.
•
Please note that the use of additional accessories between the ventilation
hose and patient (e.g., humidifiers, nebulizers, and goosenecks) increas-
es the dead space.
•
The device is not suitable for the ventilation of premature babies (born
before the end of the 36th week of pregnancy).
•
Please note that if concentrator oxygen with an oxygen concentration
outside of the specifications is used (see 14.1, page 142), the tolerances
specified for the O

Risk of injury from switching on a device with activated NVG mode
during daylight or without a night vision device!
A device with activated NVG mode cannot be used straight away during
daylight or without a night vision device. This can injure the patient.
