Pausing The Therapy / Using Pause - Dräger Perseus A500 Instructions For Use Manual

Operation

Pausing the therapy / using Pause

In Pause mode, ventilation is stopped. Gas
delivery is also stopped with electronically
controlled gas mixers. The gas concentration
measurement remains active and waiting for
respiratory phases.
This mode is equipped with an adjustable therapy
control (Timer) dependent on the patient category.
When the set time has elapsed, this emits an
alarm as reminder that ventilation should be
resumed. Setting the therapy control Timer to 0:00
deactivates the alarm. The total elapsed time is
also displayed.
Use this operating mode to reduce contamination
of the ambient air with anesthetic gases due to an
open Y-piece, e.g., for short pauses in therapy
such as disconnection or intubation.
Activating
1 Start Pause operating mode.
2 Adjust the therapy control Timer if necessary.
Returning to the previous mode
1 Touch the Resume ventilation button.
2 Confirm the ventilation mode.
