Fresh Gas/Emergency Air Intake And Attachments; Oxygen Reservoir Bag Assembly - ZOLL Z Vent Operator's Manual

Product Overview

Fresh Gas/Emergency Air Intake and Attachments

The Fresh Gas/Emergency Air Intake is located on the side of the ventilator as shown in
Figure 2-4.
The Fresh Gas/Emergency Air Intake allows ambient air into the device's internal compressor.
The intake also acts as an anti-asphyxia valve that enables the patient to breathe ambient air
should the ventilator fail. The Fresh Gas/Emergency Air Intake contains a particulate filter and
permits the user to connect either a bacteria/viral or a chemical/biological filter depending on
ambient conditions.
ZOLL offers an Oxygen Reservoir Bag Assembly Kit to allow for low flow oxygen use with
the ventilator to provide supplemental oxygen to patients. Low flow oxygen sources can be
from a flow meter or an oxygen concentrator. Oxygen is delivered through the
Fresh Gas/Emergency Air Intake when the device's internal compressor cycles to deliver a
breath.

Oxygen Reservoir Bag Assembly

The Oxygen Reservoir Bag Assembly serves the following purposes:
Acts as a reservoir, collecting oxygen during the expiratory phase of ventilation.
•
Provides an interface to the ventilator and the attachment of the low-flow oxygen supply
•
hose.
Provides an inlet in the event the low-flow oxygen supply fails or the tidal volume is greater
•
than the supplied oxygen.
See Chapter 3 for more information about using low flow oxygen sources.
