Lung Ventilation Module; Flowmeter - Siare Morpheus ND User Manual

1.3.2 Lung ventilation module

•
The lung ventilation module equipped with a 15" colour Touch Screen display, delivers
controlled or spontaneous ventilations with a re-adjustable level of end expiration positive
pressure (PEEP), of the trigger sensitivity and oxygen concentration.
•
It is characterized by a very simple and powerful user's interface, with large graphic display of
respiratory parameters, allows to choose the curves to be shown simultaneously and an easy
interaction in the selection of MENUS. After the switching-on it is possible to choose the
PATIENT TYPE (Adult, Paediatric and Neonatal) and setting automatically the relevant default
parameters.
•
The lung ventilation module equipped with a flow and pressure trigger, also it includes the most
modern ventilation modes: volume controlled ventilation modalities VC/VAC, VC/VAC-BABY,
pressure controlled ventilation modalities APCV (BILEVEL ST), APCV-TV, SIMV by Volume and
by Pressure, Pressure supported modalities PSV (BILEVEL S), PSV-TV, PSV, SIGH, non-
invasive ventilation NIV (NIV APCV – NIV PSV) and Manual Ventilation (MAN).
•
Adjustable Tidal Volume from 2 ml to 1500 ml. In spontaneous ventilation mode, it ensures
inspiratory flow up to 190 l/min, both with control and support pressure.
•
The graphics user's interface includes the keyboard, the decoder knob and the touch screen;
the last one displays, the lung ventilation module settings and measured data, as well as various
functions, allowing the User an immediate evaluation of the patient conditions; moreover, it is
possible to select and display the temporal trends of the pressure, flow, volume, the loops of
flow/volume, pressure/volume.
•
Through the selection of special and dedicated icons (MENU-SETUP, PATIENT, GRAPHIC
DATA, ALARMS) placed on the front of the monitor, the user can interact immediately with all
the operating parameters of the anesthesia unit. (see on chapter 3).
•
In the same way allows, the User to set the PATIENT TYPE (adult, paediatric and neonatal),
load or erase the PATIENT DATA and in case of needs, load automatically the DEFAULT
PARAMETERS of the anaesthesia unit and also set the alarms, collect data concerning the
trend of the operating parameters (TREND) and the anaesthesia unit EVENTS.

1.3.3 Flowmeter

The flowmeter is electronic, completely integrated in the monitor, it presents all those advantages in
use, previously illustrated in the pulmonary ventilation module. In fact the user does not act on the
classic knobs, but selects the fresh gas flows and / or the oxygen concentration by exerting a slight
pressure on the screen of the pulmonary ventilation module (see on chapter 3).
To complete the flow meter there are: a back-lit mechanical flow meter for total flow control and three
pressure gauges for checking the inlet pressures of medical gases (O2, ARIA and N2O / XENO this
last optional gas).

For those who have a basic knowledge on how medical devices for resuscitation
work, the use of this equipment is intuitive and a brief training course on regard
would be enough.
