9. Accessories
There are several accessories you can use with the ventilator.
Use only Philips Respironics approved accessories on Trilogy
ventilators.
Adding a Humidifier
Use of a humidifier may reduce nasal dryness and irritation by adding
moisture to the airflow.
If you are using a humidifier with the ventilator, refer to the
instructions provided with the humidifier for complete setup
information.
Adding Supplemental Oxygen to the Device
The delivered oxygen concentration varies with changes in flow
in the circuit. The following may have an impact on oxygen
concentration:
•
Pressure settings
•
Patient Tidal Volume
•
Peak Inspiratory Flow
•
I:E Ratio
•
Respiratory rate
•
Circuit leak rate
•
Oxygen flow rate
To add oxygen to the circuit, the oxygen supply must comply with the
local regulations for medical oxygen. The oxygen flow into the oxygen
valve cannot exceed 15 l/min and the pressure cannot exceed 50 psi.
