Cautions

Inspect the circuit very day to ensure that there is no damage or wear that could affect its
•
performance. Remove Fluid or other biological material from the circuit or replace the
circuit following the local standard of care.
Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
•
Only qualified biomedical equipment technicians should service the device.
•
Internal components are susceptible to damage from static discharge. Do not remove device
•
covers.
Possession or purchase of this device does not convey any expressed or implied license to
•
use the device with unauthorized sensors or cables which would, alone, or in combination

12 ft ventilator circuits are available for use with the ventilator -- the additional
•
length enables a suitable separation between the ventilator and the bore opening.
( 820-130-00 -- Adult/Pediatric Wye Ventilator Circuit;
REF
Pediatric/Infant Wye Ventilator Circuit).
The extended tubing length of a 12 ft ventilator circuit can result in loss of volume
•
due to additional compressibility.
-- Set the Tubing Compliance (TC) to OFF and ensure that the patient is
receiving correct tidal volume.
-- Alternatively, calculate the TC as described by the ventilator circuit's
Instructions For Use (IFU) and adjust the TC value to ensure that the patient is
receiving the correct tidal volume.
DO NOT use the 12 ft circuit with settings below 5 cmH20.
•
Ensure that the ventilator is able to maintain PEEP -- for patients with short
•
expiratory times, the additional tubing length of the 12 ft circuit may affect system
behavior.
