Backup Inomax Delivery - Mallinckrodt INOmax DSIR Pocket Manual

Backup INOMAX
Delivery
WARNING:
When the backup NO delivery mode is used, a flow of
at least 5.0 L/min should be present in the ventilator
circuit to avoid INOMAX concentrations greater than
40 ppm.
The backup is intended for short term use when the
electronic delivery system fails until a replacement
NO delivery can be brought to the bedside.
If the backup is on, along with the main delivery
system an INOMAX value greater than set will be
delivered (a high priority alarm will be present).
The backup mode delivers a variable concentration
of NO to the patient depending on the ventilator flow
being used. See table below for details.
The table below indicates the nominal concentrations
delivered for different ventilator gas flows.
