    UPPLEMENTAL XYGEN If medically indicated, connect supplemental oxygen. To titrate supplemental oxygen to the patient, remove the black Intake Cap covering the Air/O Intake. See figure 12 and 14. Leave the debris filters in place. Fully expand the reusable Oxygen Reservoir tube and connect as pictured.
  • Page 26: Noise Attenuator

    NOTE: 1) FIO values assume the O tank or concentrator is delivering 100% oxygen 2) Setting the oxygen source flow rate higher than the minute ventilation of the ventilator will unnecessarily deplete oxygen supply faster. 3) Specified FIO values require a fully expanded oxygen reservoir tube. Failing to fully extend the tube may materially decrease FIO values for a given O flow rate.

If the attenuator is exposed to sand or dust wash it with water between uses. Make sure it is dry before reusing. In a dust or sandstorm, the black air intake port cap will do a better job than an attenuator at guarding against particulates getting into the pump.

If the patient aspirates during use and the circuit needs to be cleared of debris, follow steps below. 1) Disconnect circuit from patient airway. 2) Replace the active circuit with a new circuit if one is available.
  • Page 35: Responding To Alarms

    Responding to Alarms LARM VERVIEW The SAVe II+ has alarms to alert the operator to potentially unsafe conditions. These alarms trigger by monitoring internal device parameters and airway pressures. The device will continue delivering breaths during most alarms; however, if it detects a condition that may cause direct harm to the patient by delivering another breath, the device will enter a safe mode and stop delivering breaths until the problem is resolved.
  • Page 36: Audible Alarm Indicator

    UDIBLE LARM NDICATOR To help operators prioritize multiple simultaneous alarms, the audible alarm indicator of the SAVe II+ is divided into three levels of priority. The easiest way to distinguish between the priorities is how quickly the alarm repeats. Table 7: Audible Alarm Indicator Priority Audible Description Alarms Conditions...
