see Section 5/ Alarms.
• The use of pediatric and neonatal ventilator settings with adult size breathing
circuits can result in high levels of NO
that is appropriate for the patient.
• Abrupt discontinuation of INOMAX may lead to worsening oxygenation and
increasing pulmonary artery pressure, i.e., Rebound Pulmonary Hypertension
Syndrome. To avoid abrupt discontinuation, utilize the INOblender or integrated
pneumatic backup if necessary. If Rebound Pulmonary Hypertension occurs,
reinstate INOMAX therapy immediately (See the INOMAX prescribing Information
for further details.)
• If the high NO

use of helium/oxygen mixtures will lead to over-delivery of INOMAX which may
lead to interruption of therapy.

Caution:
• High frequency and/or high intensity light emission, in the area of the INOmeter, may
