Do not allow aerosols to contaminate the bellows of the QuickLung. Contamination with aerosols may, over time, result in material degradation. ARNING Use of the QuickLung Breather in the presence of flammable anesthetics may present an explosion hazard. ARNING Electromagnetic Interference: Do not use the QuickLung Breather in patient rooms or other...
Electrical Supply: Connect the power supply provided only to a properly grounded wall outlet providing 100 – 240 V AC, 50 – 60 Hz. CAUTION Do not operate QuickLung Breather when it is wet due to spills or condensation. Never sterilize or immerse the device in liquids. CAUTION Always use dry air or oxygen with the QuickLung.
Figure 3-1: QuickLung Breather with Accessories 3.2 System Features and Options The QuickLung Breather offers features and options for the basic as well as the advanced user. Standard features of the QuickLung Breather include: • The ability to breathe spontaneously, making a small or large contribution to overall minute ventilation •...
If you already own a QuickLung that does not have the side rails or the “wing” panel installed, please contact IngMar Medical to obtain the correct part. On the rear of the Breather, there is a spring-loaded pin used to secure the QuickLung test lung into place.
• Connect the DC power output cord of the power supply to the DC input jack in the back of the QuickLung Breather. • Connect the QuickLung Breather power adapter to line power supplying 100 - 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz with the power cord for your specific country supplied in the package.
To begin, turn on the system: 1. Flip the power switch at the back of the QuickLung Breather to the ON ( | )position. Figure 5-1: Turning On the Device On the front panel, the LCD display will light up and show the QuickLung Settings window.

CAUTION If the QuickLung Breather is set to take excessive breaths (considering the compliance and/or resistance present), the motor drive will slip and could potentially be damaged. 1. Use the left <+/-> to match Res. to the resistance setting of the QuickLung.

4. Press Start/Stop. This places the lift-arms at the “absolute” zero position. 5. Use center <+> to increase the Offset value, and then press Start/Stop again to verify position of the lift-arms. Repeat as necessary until the lift-arms are just touching the QuickLung wing. Figure 5-4: Offset Not Adjusted (Left) and Properly Adjusted (Right) 6.
PONTANEOUS REATHING The following section describes the different breathing patterns available in the QuickLung Breather, together with the respective ranges of breath rate, inhalation time (Ti), flow rate, and the maximum spontaneous tidal volume possible. The values in brackets represent default values for each breath pattern.
For the QuickLung Junior, the respective values are: R = 5 cmH R = 20 cmH R = 50 cmH C = 15 mL/cmH C = 6 mL/cmH C = 3 mL/cmH Max. Flow 80 L/min 40 L/min 20 L/min Max.
6.3 Biot’s “Biot's respiration is an abnormal pattern of breathing characterized by groups of quick, shallow inspirations followed by regular or irregular periods of apnea.” The range of parameters that are available is depicted in the table below: Rate [BPM] Volume [mL] Ti [%] MV [L]...
Seed value. Numbers between 1 and 999 are allowed. Setting the Seed value to zero (0) forces the QuickLung Breather to use the set Breaths and NoBr as fixed values, without any random fluctuations.
