WARNING: High Frequency Oscillatory and Jet Ventilator Circuits • Some high frequency ventilator circuits require a one-way valve to prevent high NO delivery. • Place the Bunnell Life Pulse in Standby prior to suctioning the patient to avoid NO delivery transiently exceeding the set dose by up to 30 ppm. Press ENTER to reestablish ventilation as soon as the catheter is removed from the airway.
Page 7
WARNING: Manually Bagging a Patient with an Injector Module continued • To minimize the delivered concentration of NO , the following steps should be taken for use with the manual resuscitator bags: - Concentrations greater than 20 ppm NO should not be used because of excessive NO generation.

WARNING: Use Outside of Product Labeling • The INOmax DS must only be used in accordance with the indications, usage, contraindications, warnings and precautions described in the INOMAX (nitric oxide) drug package inserts and labeling. Refer to this material prior to use. •...
Page 9
WARNING: Ventilators and Breathing Devices • The INOmax DS subtracts gas from the breathing circuit via the gas sampling system at 230 mL per minute which can cause the ventilator to auto-trigger. Adjusting the flow sensitivity may be necessary. The trigger sensitivity of the ventilator should be checked after connecting the INOmax DS to the breathing circuit.

1/ General Information Indications for Use • The INOmax DS (delivery system) delivers INOMAX (nitric oxide for inhalation) therapy gas into the inspiratory limb of the patient breathing circuit in a way that provides a constant concentration of nitric oxide (NO), as set by the user, to the patient throughout the inspired breath. It uses a specially designed injector module, which enables tracking of the ventilator waveforms and the delivery of a synchronized and proportional dose of NO.

Replacing the O , NO and NO Sensors • Handle and dispose of sensors according to facility biohazard policies. WARNING: Do not incinerate. • If changing an NO sensor while delivering NO to a patient, install the NO sensor only when the NO high range calibration screen is displayed, otherwise there is a risk that the system will shut down.
Replacing the O , NO and NO Sensors (cont’d) Replace the sensor cover and tighten the two screws clockwise (see Figure 7-4). Note: Newly Installed Sensor Time to Condition Prior to Calibration and NO 40 minutes 5 hours Insufficient conditioning will result in inaccurate gas readings.
Replacing the Water Separator Cartridge When handling any component of the patient circuit that comes in contact with WARNING: patient’s fluids wear protective safety equipment. The disposable water separator cartridge on the rear of the water trap housing protects the monitoring system from moisture and other contaminants.

Using the INOMAX Gas Inlet Connector Proper use of the INOMAX inlet connectors is essential for safe and effective delivery of INOMAX. Follow the steps below to ensure the regulator hose is attached correctly. 1. Visually inspect the two inlet connectors and the outlet connector for signs of wear or damage. 2.
Cylinder Leak Check If a leak is suspected during the high pressure leak test (see section 2/ Pre-Use Checkout; High Pressure Leak Test), the following steps can be taken to check for leaks (see Figure 7-10 for possible cylinder gas leak locations) in the INOMAX regulator or INOMAX cylinder.
Preventative Maintenance Mallinckrodt performs the following maintenance task every year: • Replace O and NO sensors. Mallinckrodt performs the following maintenance task every two years: • Check battery. • Check internal tubing. • Replace sample system tubing and filters. • Replace NO sensor.
