Resuscitation Module With Autobreath™ Infant Resuscitator (Optional) - Dräger Resuscitaire WBR82 Instructions For Use Manual

PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT 5 Feb 04
Resuscitation Module with AutoBreath™ Infant
Resuscitator (Optional)
WARNING:
Always monitor the airway pressure, and set
appropriate pressure relief during infant resuscitation.
Failure to do so could result in patient injury.
Automatic Patient Circuit with 15 mm Outlet
For automatic resuscitation, use the Automatic Patient
Circuit (10-mm tubing with exhalation valve and exhalation
valve control line tubing).
WARNING:
Using a breathing circuit other than the one supplied
for the Patient Outlet or one that has tubing with an
inner diameter smaller than 10 mm may restrict the
gas flow. This restriction could cause the indication of
the gas flow and the adjustable airway pressure relief
to be inaccurate. Patient injury could occur.
WARNING:
Potential hazards are associated with the delivery of supplemental oxygen. If it is necessary to
administer oxygen, notify the attending physician immediately. Failure to do so could result in
patient injury.
1. Before use, ensure that all sources of gas are switched off.
2. Before patient use, switch OFF the AutoBreath™ Infant Resuscitator using the On/Off switch on the
module.
3. Connect the Automatic Patient Circuit to the Patient Outlet connector.
4. Connect the exhalation valve control line tubing to the Exh Valve connector.
5. Switch on the gas supply at the Gas Supply module.
6. Switch on the AutoBreath™ Infant Resuscitator using its On/Off switch.
7. Using the Patient Supply Flow Rate control, adjust to the desired fresh-gas flow.
Airway Pressure
8. To check the pressure limit, observe the Airway Pressure gauge.
9. Adjust the Rate (bpm) control to 18 breaths per minute (bpm).
10. To set the Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) threshold, block the patient port of the breathing
circuit. Do not block the exhalation valve exhaust port.
11. Observe the PEEP indicated on the Airway Pressure gauge, and use the PEEP control to adjust the
desired PEEP.
Respiratory Rate
12. To check the respiratory rate, adjust the Rate (bpm) control to desired breaths per minute (bpm).
13. Count the number of breath cycles for 1 min.
