Inspired Gas Sampling During Aerosol Delivery

Caution:

Pneumatic nebulizers will dilute the delivered INOMAX dose.

gas sample tee

Disk Filter, 0.5 micron

• To avoid a "Sample Line/Filter Block" alarm

condition, place the medication nebulizer

downstream of the sample tee on the inspiratory

limb to avoid over saturation of the water

separator cartridge or contamination of the

sample system (see Figure 3-9).

• To minimize replacement of filters during aerosol

delivery, a small 0.5 micron hydrophobic disk filter

with luer connections must be placed between the

sample line and sample tee (see Figure 3-10).

The disk filter is to be used in

Note:

conjunction with the INOmax DS

separator cartridge. The INOmax DS

must never be operated without the

water separator cartridge.

• This disk filter has been validated for

this purpose.

• This disk filter must be replaced

following each treatment period.

• During continuous medication delivery,

frequent disk replacement may be

necessary due to the disk becoming

saturated with moisture/medication.

• Use of the filter will reduce the

frequency of water separator cartridge

replacement during medication

delivery.
