Low-Flow Microblender Precautions - Dräger Resuscitaire WBR82 Instructions For Use Manual

PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT 8 Jan 04
WARNING:
On high-pressure oxygen cylinders, use only pressure regulators or reducing valves approved
for oxygen service. Do not use oxygen pressure regulators or reducing valves for air or gases
other than oxygen as they may be hazardous. Operate such devices in strict accordance with
the manufacturer recommendations. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or
equipment damage.
WARNING:
When new or replacement oxygen cylinders are being installed, clear their outlet ports by
cracking the cylinder valve momentarily before attaching them to the equipment. Failure to do
so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Cylinder heights vary. When replacing a gas cylinder, ensure that the cylinder does not exceed
the maximum cylinder height specification. Also, before placing the cylinder, confirm that there
is sufficient clearance between the bottom of the cylinder and the floor when the Resuscitaire
VHA is in its lowest position. After these checks have been completed, raise the VHA to its
maximum height and install/remove the cylinder. Failure to do so could result in personal injury
or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Ensure that oxygen cylinders are securely mounted and connected before use. Failure to do so
could result in equipment damage or personal injury.
WARNING:
Maintain Patient Outlet 2 gas pressure at or below 15.7 kPa (160.1 cmH
Outlet 2 gas has a separate pressure limiting valve that limits the maximum pressure at 15.7
kPa (160.1 cmH

WARNING:
Excessive airway pressure can damage the lungs. Check the adjustable airway pressure relief
control by setting the desired airway pressure limit and then occluding the patient airway tube.
CAUTION:
Close cylinders while unit is connected to pipeline supply. Failure to do so could result in
depletion of the cylinder contents.

Low-Flow Microblender Precautions

WARNING:
If either the air or oxygen gas source pressure is reduced, creating a pressure medical gas of
207 kPa (30 psi), the microblender alarm sounds. This condition can alter the FiO
output from the microblender. Patient injury could occur.
WARNING:
Always operate the system with medical-grade gases. Failure to do so could result in patient
injury or equipment damage.
