Supplemental Oxygen Warnings; Using A Remote Alarm Unit - PHILIPS Respironics Trilogy 100 Clinical Manual

Supplemental Oxygen Warnings

•
When administering fixed-flow supplemental oxygen,
the oxygen concentration may not be constant. The
inspired oxygen concentration will vary, depending on
the pressures, patient flows and circuit leak. Substantial
leaks may reduce the inspired oxygen concentration
to less than the expected value. Appropriate patient
monitoring should be used, as medically indicated, such
as an alarming pulse oximeter.
•
This device DOES NOT alarm for loss of the low flow
oxygen supply.
•
Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen should not be
used while smoking or in the presence of an open flame.
•
Do not connect the device to an unregulated or high
pressure oxygen source.
•
The device may result in incorrect flow and tidal volume
measurements and improper operation of related alarms
if you add low flow oxygen directly into the patient
circuit or mask instead of directly adding it into the
oxygen inlet on the back of the ventilator.
•
If oxygen is used with the device, the oxygen flow must
be turned off when the device is not in use. Explanation
of the Warning: When the device is not in operation
and the oxygen flow is left on, oxygen delivered into the
tubing may accumulate within the device's enclosure.
•
The ventilator should not be operated in the presence of
flammable gasses. This could cause a fire or explosion.

Using a Remote Alarm Unit

You can use a Philips Respironics Remote Alarm unit with your device.
Use only a Philips Respironics dedicated adapter cable assembly for
connecting the device to the Remote Alarm unit (REF 1045291). Refer
to the instructions included with your Remote Alarm unit and adapter
cable assembly if you have questions on how to use it with device.

WARNING
The remote alarm and nurse call
systems should be tested daily.
When using a remote alarm,
make sure you fully test the
remote alarm connector and
cable by verifying that:
- Annunciated alarms on
the ventilator are also
annunciated on the remote
alarm.
- Disconnecting the remote
alarm cable from the
ventilator or from the remote
alarm results in an alarm
notification at the remote
alarm.
