suctioning sidestream monitor via adapter
84 12 448 with safety valve.

Whenever a patient is connected to the venti-
lator, constant attention by qualified medical
staff is required in order to provide immediate
corrective action in case of a malfunction.
Mandatory Ventilation Monitoring
Babylog 8000 plus includes monitoring for:
– inspiratory O concentration
2
– airway pressure
– flow
– tidal volumes
– respiration rate (tachypnea monitoring)
WARNING !
Always use independent apnea monitor when
the built-in apnea monitoring has been
switched off. The operator of the ventilator
must still assume full responsibility for proper
ventilation and patient safety in all situations.
WARNING !
In case of malfunction of any of the built-in
monitoring a substitute must be provided in
order to maintain an adequate level of moni-
toring. The operator of the ventilator must still
assume full responsibility for proper ventilation
and patient safety in all situations.
An optional communications interface for the Babylog
8000 plus ventilator is available for communicating
measured data and ventilator settings to other devices,
such as patient monitors or computers.
For administering pharmaceutical aerosols, the ventilator
may be combined with a pneumatic nebulizer.

WARNING !
If a fault is detected in the ventilator and its
life-support functions are in doubt, ventilation
must be started without delay with an inde-
pendent ventilation device (resuscitation bag)
- using PEEP and/or increased inspiratory O
concentration where necessary and appro-
priate. The unit should then be removed from
use and serviced by an authorized service
technician.
