Trilogy 202 user manual
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.
The remote alarm should be tested daily.
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.
The oxygen input to the device must be:
Pressure: 40 psi to 87 psi
Flow: 175 SLPM
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.
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.
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.
