Oxygen Blending Module Warnings; Fixed Flow Oxygen Warnings - PHILIPS Respironics Trilogy 202 User Manual

132
Please note the warnings listed below when using oxygen with the
device.

Oxygen Blending Module Warnings

•
To ensure accuracy of oxygen administration and to
monitor for the presence of contamination (incorrect gas
connected), use an external oxygen monitor to verify the
oxygen concentration in the delivered gas.
•
This device is equipped with an oxygen blending module
which allows oxygen to be delivered to the patient within
a range of 21-100% concentration.
•
Contents under pressure. Do not remove the oxygen inlet
cap while still connected to oxygen source. Removing the
cap may cause it to pop off and cause injury.

Fixed Flow 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.
•
Do not connect the device to an unregulated oxygen
source.
•
Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen should not be
used while smoking or in the presence of an open flame.
•
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.
