Figure 3-2: Battery charge status displayed in the top left-hand area of the screen The charge status of the internal battery is displayed in the top left-hand area of the medinCNO screen (Figure ® 3-2). A full battery is shown with a symbol with five bars. As soon as only two bars remain, the battery symbol is shown in red and the medinCNO should be connected to the mains soon.
The functionality of the medinCNO can only be guaranteed if both the oxygen and medicinal air supplied to it ® are free from condensate water, oil and contaminants. If this is not guaranteed, the medinCNO could be ® damaged. Even the use of a water trap can only remove small amounts of condensate from the air.

Figure 5-3 (without respiration on the left, with respiration on the right), the sensitivity shown in orange would be correct as it is lower than the pressure fluctuations caused by respiration and greater than the noise of the pressure signal without respiration.

Page 40
The lower threshold of this sensitivity is used as a trigger for a push synchronised ® with respiration. If the CPAP pressure reading is below this threshold, the medinCNO triggers a push. The ® sensitivity setting is also used to identify apnoea. Consequently, it is important to select a value that is greater than the pressure fluctuations (e.g.
5.10 Oscillation mode In oscillation mode, an oscillating fluctuation is available in addition to the basic CPAP. This is modulated on the basis of the background basic CPAP. In this case the medinCNO produces a flow which is periodically ®...

Medijet ), oscillation must always be set carefully and gradually, while at the same time checking the ® results on the basis of the pressure course curve displayed in the medinCNO and the effect on the patient. ® Since oscillation therapy affects the CO concentration in the patient's blood, it is recommended that this be regularly checked during oscillation.
A mode change during the safety mode is only possible if the safety mode was activated by the Disconnection alarm. 5.12 Alarm settings The alarm sub-menu is available in each medinCNO mode. This sub-menu can be opened by pressing button ® n in Figure 5-2.

Warning: The standby mode can only be used when no patient is attached to the medinCNO ® Please note: In standby mode, no gas flow can be emitted from the device. When combining with an active respiratory gas humidifier, the following points must be borne in mind: If no gas flow is issued and if the respiratory gas humidifier is continuing to heat, there can be so- called "hot shots".

These thresholds are always automatically set by the medinCNO in automatic FiO alarm ®...
If high-priority alarms occur during operation of the medinCNO due to errors or supply breakdowns, the ® medinCNO tries to maintain operation as long as possible. In doing so, the normal function of the medinCNO ® ® is limited as follows:...
® medinCNO restarts its flow after approximately 4 seconds. If it takes longer than this amount of ® time for the pressure to decrease, the medinCNO restarts its flow gradually, whereby it takes ® approximately 10 seconds for the medinCNO to once again emit its set flow.
Cleaning The surface of the medinCNO® should be disinfected before first use using a slightly damp cloth and every time after it has been used on a patient. 70% isopropyl alcohol solution can be used for this purpose.
Repairs may only be made to the medinCNO by specially trained, professional service personnel in accordance ® with the instructions and warnings in the service manual. After each maintenance or repair of the medinCNO ® a complete function test must be performed and passed before this medinCNO can be used on a patient once ®...
The power supply unit may only be repaired by authorized specialists. Warning: To avoid an electrical shock, the housing of the power supply unit of the medinCNO should not be opened. ® Modification of the power supply unit is not permitted (termination of the warranty).
