Operating The Saros For The First Time - Saros 9400R-SEQ Operators & Service Manual

Operator & Service Manual
Step 1: Locating the SAROS.
Place the SAROS in a well-ventilated area. Be sure the air inlet and exhaust vent are not obstructed.
Position the SAROS so all audible and visual indicators or alarms can be easily seen and heard.
Connect the AC Power Adapter to External Power Receptacle located on top of the device and plug the device into a grounded
AC Power outlet, connect to a DC Power source with the 24 VDC Cable, or be sure there is a fully charged Battery installed.
Step 2: Power ON the Device and allow it to Warm Up
Oxygen Monitoring – The SAROS has an oxygen concentration status indicator (OCSI) built-in to the device. The OCSI continu-
ally monitors the oxygen output of the device.
Press and hold the "ON/OFF" Button to power ON your SAROS. The SAROS will start up in Normal Mode and Continuous
Flow of 3 LPM. Allow five (5) minutes minimum for the device to reach its performance specifications. The five (5) minute warm
up time is a stabilization period during which no alerts or codes are to be expected. If the device fails to reach its performance
specifications after five (5) minutes, the unit will alarm according to the mode it is in.
Step 3: Connect the oxygen supply tubing to the SAROS
Clean and Replace the cannula and oxygen supply tubing regularly, as recommended by the cannula manufacturer's instructions.
Step 4: Select the flow delivery mode
Press the Flow Mode button to select the desired flow mode – Continuous or Pulse. Pressing this button repeatedly will toggle
you back and forth between the flow modes.
When operating in the Continuous Flow Mode, a continuous supply of oxygen measured in liters per minute (LPM) will flow
from the Oxygen Outlet Port.
NOTE: When any Control Panel settings are changed, the SAROS re-enters a 5 minute stabilization mode during which no alarms are to
be expected.
WARNING: DO NOT USE SUPPLY TUBING OR CANNULA EXTENSIONS THAT ARE MORE THAN 50' (15.2M) IN LENGTH
IN THE CONTINUOUS FLOW MODE. IN PULSE MODE, USE ONLY THE CANNULA WITHOUT EXTENSIONS.
PULSE FLOW MODE OPERATION:
When operating in Pulse Flow Mode and there is no inspiratory effort detected by the device after 60 seconds total time, the de-
vice will switch to the Continuous Flow Mode and will produce at an equivalent minute volume. The alert will cease at this time.
When operating in Pulse Flow Mode, a bolus of oxygen measured in mL will be delivered from the Oxygen Outlet Port, each
time an inspiratory effort, or negative pressure, is detected.
PULSE FLOW MODE FEATURES:
The SAROS Pulse Flow Mode delivers a high flow oxygen bolus at the beginning of each inspiration. Your SAROS Pulse Flow
Mode has a feature, called autoSAT Technology and a Pulse Flow Mode Sensitivity Setting to easily trigger the oxygen bolus
delivery.
These features are provided to ensure that patients can easily trigger a delivery of an oxygen bolus and that the oxygen bolus
maintains consistency over higher breath rates.
