Ventilator Failure; Failure Of The Gas Measurement; Failure Of Flow Measurement - Dräger Perseus A500 Instructions For Use Manual

Ventilator failure

If the ventilator fails, only manual ventilation or
spontaneous breathing remain possible. No other
ventilation modes can be selected. The fresh-gas
delivery remains ready for operation.
1 Switch to the MAN / SPON ventilation mode.
2 Manually ventilate the patient.

Failure of the gas measurement

CAUTION
Risk due to gas measurement failure
If the gas measurement fails, the patient can no
longer be adequately monitored.
– Ensure corresponding substitute monitoring.
– Check sample line and water trap for damage
or blockage and resolve these as needed.
Observe the exchange intervals.
 Ensure corresponding substitute monitoring.

Failure of flow measurement

If the flow measurement fails, normally the therapy
can be continued. Thus, the flow sensors can be
replaced during the next Standby. There may be
limitations in measured parameters or selection of
therapy.
Instructions for use Perseus A500 SW 1.1n
WARNING
Risk due to malfunction of the inspiratory
flow measurement
If the inspiratory flow sensor malfunctions,
the device automatically switches to
pressure-controlled ventilation. If there is an
additional malfunction of the inspiratory
pressure sensor, the system automatically
switches to the non-synchronized Pressure
Control - CMV mode.
In either case, check the ventilation settings
and adjust as needed.
