PEEP setting on the GO
1/5 th of the selected PIP. It is good clinical practice to use a
manometer to verify any pressure setting. PIP indications on the
pressure dial are approximate only and ranges between 15 and
50 cm H O, and PEEP ranges between 2 and 9 cm H
2
respectively.
A manometer may be connected to the GO
22 mm fitting between the modulator and patient connector tee
(see enclosed instructions). Although the pressure dial indicates
typical PIP and PEEP is about 1/5
recommended because it provides valuable information to the
clinician on what is occurring with the patient.
No, the GO VENT™ is a pressure cycled automatic resuscitator
2
which has a maximum setting of 45 cm H
inspiratory pressure relief valve that opens automatically at
approximately 60 cm H
a distinctive and easily recognized warning sound.
Yes. NOTE: Deposition of medicine residue may cause the
GO VENT™ to stick if it dries for an extended period of time.

Always perform a functional check per instructions before
reconnecting the patient.
Yes. The GO VENT™ has been tested and is MR Conditional and
2
can be used in the MRI environment according to the following
conditions: 1) Static magnetic field of 3-Tesla or less; and 2)
Spatial gradient
(extrapolated) or less.
Yes. The cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines and
American Society for Testing and Materials caution against the
use of automatic gas-powered resuscitators during CPR closed
chest compression because the compression process may
interfere with lung ventilation and airway resistance may
prevent adequate ventilation.
Yes. The GO VENT™ is ideal for use in CPR. Studies (by Otto

Raabe, Ph.D. et. al) have shown that the GO

not cause baro-trauma, as the unit will not exceed the set peak
inspiratory pressure and will automatically cycle at the end of
each compression. In the case of manual bagging, medical
personnel must be careful not to bag and compress the patient
simultaneously in order to avoid high PIP. Manual bagging can
cause pressures that can exceed 60 cm-H
