Patient Circuits And Accessories - ResMed Elisee 150 Clinical Manual

3.3 Patient circuits and accessories

The Elisée 150 can be used with a single limb or a double limb patient circuit owing to its
interchangeable expiratory valve control system. To obtain the best results from this ventilation
system, a humidification system and/or antibacterial filters may be added.
The Elisée 150 ventilator is suitable for both adults and children. It is not designed for neonatal
ventilation and should not be used with circuits with a 10mm diameter.
The circuit type chosen should be:
•
15 mm in diameter for ventilation with a tidal volume between 50 and 300mL;
•
22 mm in diameter for ventilation with a tidal volume > 300mL.
Any single limb circuit with a water trap can be used with the Elisée 150, whether it is reusable
or for single use, provided that it complies exactly with the recommended circuit specifications.
You must perform a manual test whenever the patient circuit is modified (see "Manual test" on
page 65).
Note: The Elisée 150 automatically detects the patient circuit type and characteristics during the
manual test (see "Manual test" on page 65). A manual test should therefore be performed after
any changes to the circuit (type, brand, configuration, etc.).
