To prevent patient injury in the event of total anaesthesia system failure, an alternative means of ventilation must be available whenever the device is in use.
2. Purpose Purpose The Prima 320 Advance anaesthetic machine is for use by a professional operator in a professional hospital or clinical environment, and must be continually attended when in use. The device is intended to provide controlled concentrations and flows of anaesthesia gases into a patient breathing system, from where the anaesthesia ventilator and breathing circuit will then deliver this fresh gas mixture to the patient.
The ventilator is a pneumatically driven, microprocessor- controlled anaesthesia delivery system. The drive gas is supplied by the O2 or Air gas supply, see section 3.12. A gas circuit schematic is shown on the next page. Prima 320 Advance User Manual...
