Integrated Pneumatic
Backup INOMAX Delivery
Note: Use the integrated pneumatic backup function only for
a short time, until a replacement delivery system can
be obtained. The INOblender can also be used as a
backup.
If the main delivery system fails, the INOmax DS
integrated pneumatic backup delivery function that allows
the patient to remain connected to the ventilator. Backup NO
delivery does not rely on the operation of the main system.
The INOmax DS
· Uses a pneumatic on/off switch and a restrictor built into
the delivery side of the system.
· Provides a fixed flow of INOMAX (250 mL/min) into the
injector module. This fixed flow provides 20 ppm of NO
when added to a continuous ventilator gas flow of 10 L/min.
WARNING:
When using the integrated pneumatic backup with
breathing circuit gas flows of 5 L/min, the delivered NO
dose will be approximately 40 ppm. Breathing circuit
gas flows less than 5 L/min will deliver an NO dose
greater than 40 ppm.
The table below indicates the nominal concentrations
delivered for different ventilator gas flows.
