O-Two CAREvent CA-G05 User Manual

Along with the contents of the shipping carton you will require the
following items to enable you to undertake the pre-use functional
check:
[1] Full breathing air or medical grade oxygen cylinder.
[2] Air or oxygen regulator with a 50 PSI outlet and the correct DISS or
quick connector for the gas being used. The regulator must be
able to deliver an output flowrate of >120 L/min at no less than
45 PSI (3.1 Bar).
[3] Calibrated Test Lung.
Having connected the supply hose to the regulator, turn on the gas
supply. Using a mild soap solution, spray the input connection to the
resuscitator to check for leaks. If any leak is present, tighten the
connection "by hand" (Do not use a wrench) and re-test.
Once no leaks are found, connect the test lung to the 15/22mm patient
connector on the resuscitator. If the leak cannot be stopped, check and
replace the sealing "O" ring on the hose connection to the resuscitator. If
the leak persists, replace the hose.
The following features can be individually tested during the Pre-use
Functional Check:
[1] Peak Airway Pressure and Audible Alarm.
[2] Ventilation Frequency and Tidal Volume.
[3] Manual Ventilation.
[4] Demand Valve Function and Automatic Circuit Shut Off.
[5] Bleed Flow.

The supply hose provided is attached to the oxygen inlet on the rear of
the resuscitator and is tightened "finger tight" (fig 1).
The use of excessive force in tightening the supply hose
may damage the seal and /or thread.
The facemask is attached to the patient connection port by simply
pushing the mask onto the 22mm taper.

The
Automatic Ventilation Override Button (Manual Button) with a 20 second delay
to automatic cycling re-start to assist in the timing of ventilations in conjunction
with external cardiac compressions.
By using the Manual Button", the operation of the ventilator can be easily
timed with the chest compressions so as to avoid the potential problem of
the aspiration of stomach contents due to gastric distension which may
occur if overlap of chest compression and inflation occurs. (It has been
shown in some studies that, in patients that are intubated, this overlap of
compression and inflation may increase cardiac output without the danger
of gastric distension.) The flowrate provided is equivalent to the preset
automatic flowrate.
