Supplemental Oxygen; Antibacterial Filters - ResMed AirSense S10 Clinical Manual

Supplemental oxygen

The AirSense 10 device is designed to be compatible with up to 4 L/min of supplemental oxygen in
all modes.
At a fixed rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration will vary depending
on the pressure settings, patient breathing pattern, mask selection and the leak rate.
To connect supplemental oxygen to the device you need to connect an oxygen connector port. For
more information on how to set up the device with supplemental oxygen, refer to the user guide
supplied with that accessory.
Notes:

Adding oxygen may affect the delivered pressure and the accuracy of the displayed leak and
minute ventilation.

Before adding oxygen, familiarize yourself and your patient with the specific warnings relating to
the use of supplemental oxygen. These can be found at the end of this guide.

Antibacterial filters

Antibacterial filters increase resistance in the air circuit and may affect accuracy of displayed and
delivered pressure, particularly at high flows.
ResMed recommends using an antibacterial filter with a low impedance (eg, 2 cm H
such as PALL (BB50T), Air Safety Filter without Luer Port (4222/702) or Air Safety Filter with Side
Port 24966 (4222/701). If using the Air Safety Filter with Side Port, an Oxygen Connector Port is
required.
