Auxiliary Oxygen Flowmeter - Dräger Fabius OS Instructions For Use Manual

Auxiliary Oxygen Flowmeter*

The auxiliary oxygen flowmeter delivers a metered
flow of pure oxygen, used, for example in the
delivery of oxygen through a nasal cannula.
Auxiliary oxygen can be used in any ventilation
mode, in standby, or even if the machine is
switched off.
The auxiliary oxygen flowmeter may be used to
provide supplemental inspired oxygen to a patient
under spinal, epidural, or other regional anesthesia
It may also be used to enrich the inspired gas
mixture provided by a manually powered self-
inflating resusciator bag**.
Test the auxiliary oxygen flowmeter. Adjust the
flow knob (1) and make sure the float moves
freely over the full range of the flowmeter.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
Do not connect the patient directly to the auxi-
liary oxygen outlet.
High pressure will be applied and the patient
endangered.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Cauterizing close to a source of oxygen can
lead to fire.
When finishing oxygen therapy, make sure the flow
meter is completely closed:
Turn the flow knob (1) clockwise until it can no
longer be turned.
Only then the oxygen flow is completely off.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Before cauterizing, close the flow meter,
remove the mask and wait a few moments to
ensure that any oxygen accumulation has dis-
sipated.
