familiar with aspiration technology. Severe physical injuries can be caused by incorrect use. • Pay particular attention during aspiration to en- sure that no injuries are caused to the patient’s oropharyngeal cavities, e.g. to the mucous membranes. • For bronchial aspiration, work under sterile conditions and use only sterile aspiration catheters.
• use of mask impossible • undrained pneumothorax • intracranial hypertension. 3.3 Side effects If the contraindications are taken into account, no side effects are likely in use with normal oxygen. However, observe the side effects mentioned in the patient information leaflet entitled “Medical oxygen”...
4. Assembly If the modules are supplied complete on a LIFE-BASE or LIFE-BASE Mini carrying platform, they are operational and you need not perform any further assembly. 4.1 Assembling the modules Connecting 1. Release the connection to the oxygen supply (see “Removing an empty cylinder”...
5. Connect any other modules in exactly the same way. No more than 3 modules may be connected, otherwise it is impossible to guarantee compliance with the specified technical data. 6. Screw the modules and, if appropriate, the MEDUMAT onto the assembly plate from the back as shown in the assembly instructions provided, screw the modules to a solid wall from the back.
Page 15
You should always connect the oxygen supply at the extreme left-hand module, as oxygen inlet of all modules is equipped with a nonreturn valve. The nonreturn valve ensures that the oxygen can get Inlet with nonreturn in but cannot get out at this connection. valve Oxygen outlet has no non-return valve.
2. Screw the pressure reducer with the corrugated union nut to the cylinder valve. Tighten the union nut hand-tight. 3. Screw the pressure tube with the G 3/8 union nut to the pressure reducer outlet. 4. Screw the other end of the pressure tube to oxygen inlet of the module.
4.4 Assembling breathing station Disposable inhalation mask and nasal cannula The disposable nasal cannula and inhalation masks with or without economy bag are made of transparent plastic. For hygiene reasons, they may only be used for one patient. 1. If necessary, screw union nut supplied onto the corresponding threaded connection of the Oxygen MODULE or the Combi MODULE.
2. Screw the top part of the bubble humidifier onto the corresponding threaded connection of the Oxygen MODULE or the Combi MODULE by hand. 3. Fill the bottom part up to the mark with distilled water (aqua dest.) and screw the tank back on. 4.

2. Put both aspirate bottles in the holder. 3. Connect the bottles and the module with the appropriate tubes. Ensure that the bottle with the overflow cutout is connected to the module first. We recommend fitting a hydrophobic bacteria filter WM 22291 for the exhaust air to prevent secretion and bacteria penetrating the module.
4.7 Assembling the CPAP valve 1. Connect the CPAP valve to the CPAP module using the connecting tubes. Ensure that the tubes are guided cleanly so that they do not impede one another. 2. Perform a function check (see “12.6 Checking oxygen flow”...
5. Oxygen MODULE 5.1 Inhalation function You can perform oxygen inhalation using the Oxygen MODULE. Conditions of use Oxygen inhalation only makes sense in emergency patients who are still breathing spontaneously. This is the case with breathing disorders, for example. In the event of respiratory failure, inhalation of oxygen is by no means adequate and artificial ventilation will be required here.
5.2 Operation Oxygen supply 1. Open the oxygen supply valve . The slowly contents pressure gauge now shows cylinder pressure. 2. Calculate remaining operating time, if appropriate (see “Calculating filling level” on page 43). Method 1. Switch on oxygen inhalation at toggle switch MODUL Oxygen 2.
5.3 Stop inhalation 1. Check the oxygen reserve at the contents pressure gauge of the pressure reducer. 2. Close the oxygen supply valve and wait until the system is depressurized. 3. Turn dial to the left-hand stop (to “zero”). This prevents the pressure gauge being damaged by hammering when the device is switched back 4.
6. Suction MODULE 6.1 Vacuum/aspiration function The Suction MODULE is used to aspirate accumulations of blood, secretions or pieces of food from the oral cavity, nasopharyngeal cavity and the bronchial system. The OMNIVAC secretion aspiration system is available as an accessory, complete with tubes and two aspirate bottles (see “10.
Method 1. Switch on the vacuum at toggle switch MODUL Suction 2. Close the fingertip regulator and hold the opening of the end-piece closed so that no more air can flow through it. 3. Regulate the vacuum using dial . There are three revolutions of the dial between minimum and maximum.
7. Combi MODULE You can use the Combi MODULE to perform oxygen inhalation or aspiration. Oxygen inhalation and aspiration may not be used simultaneously, otherwise oxygen output is reduced during inhalation. 7.1 Inhalation function Conditions of use Oxygen inhalation only makes sense in emergency patients who are still breathing spontaneously.
7.2 Vacuum/aspiration function The Combi MODULE can also be used to aspirate accumulations of blood, secretions or bits of food from the oral cavity, the nasopharyngeal cavity and the bronchial system. The OMNIVAC secretion aspiration system, complete with tubes, is available as an accessory. There is an example in the adjacent picture.
Method 1. Switch on oxygen inhalation at toggle switch MODUL Combi 2. Regulate the quantity of oxygen coming out infinitely between 0 and 15 l/min using dial This corresponds to three revolutions of the dial. The value set is displayed on pressure gauge Determine oxygen concentration if necessary Medium (see “16.1 Determining oxygen concentration”...
5. Clean and disinfect/sterilize the device and the device parts (see “11. Hygiene treatment” on page 39). 6. Perform a function check (see “12. Function check” on page 42). 7.5 Aspiration - operation Oxygen supply 1. Open the oxygen supply valve .
7.6 Stop aspiration 1. Check the oxygen reserve at the contents pressure gauge of the pressure reducer. 2. Close the oxygen supply valve and wait until the system is depressurized. 3. Turn dial to the left-hand stop (to “zero”). This prevents the pressure gauge being damaged by hammering when the device is switched back 4.
8. Interface MODULE 8.1 Coupling/oxygen connection function The Interface MODULE allows oxygen (2.7 – 6 bar) to be tapped off or additional oxygen to be fed in from an external supply. The Interface MODULE serves as an interface - to the central oxygen supply, for example.
9. CPAP MODULE 9.1 CPAP function You can use the CPAP MODULE to perform CPAP therapy in conjunction with a CPAP valve approved by WEINMANN Emergency. Conditions of use Therapy may only be carried out on emergency patients who are breathing spontaneously.
Page 33
Method 1. Switch on the oxygen supply to the CPAP valve MODUL by switching toggle switch CPAP 2. If oxygen escapes from the O outlet, switch it off by turning dial to the left until you feel it reach the stop. 3.
Page 34
Stop CPAP therapy 1. Check the oxygen reserve at the contents pressure gauge of the pressure reducer. 2. Close the oxygen supply valve and wait until the system is depressurized. 3. Turn dial anti-clockwise until you feel it reach the stop. This will prevent the next patient inadvertently obtaining too high a CPAP pressure.
10. OMNIVAC secretion aspiration system The OMNIVAC secretion aspiration system consists of one or two aspirate bottles and the necessary tubing. The aspirate bottles are available in capacities of 250 ml, 500 ml or 1000 ml. An overflow cutout in the lid of the bottle stops secretion penetrating the module by a ball floating on the surface of the secretion and blocking the outlet.
10.1 Starting work Cleaning will be facilitated if you pour about 50 ml of disinfectant or water into the aspirate bottle before you start. The aspirated matter is then less likely to adhere to the bottom of the bottle. 1. If necessary, adapt the end-piece of an Fingertip regulator aspirating catheter of a suitable size for tracheal Catheter...
Page 37
Important! Please ensure that the aspirate bottles are always upright during operation, otherwise the ball of the overflow cutout cannot reliably block the connection to the vacuum source. This could result in secretion getting into the vacuum source. For hygiene reasons, we therefore recommend using hydrophobic bacteria filter WM 22291.
Emptying the aspirate bottle When the aspirate bottle is full to the limit, you must interrupt the aspiration process and empty the aspirate bottle. Important! When taking off and emptying the aspirate bottle, please ensure that the lid does not accidentally come off the bottle and cause the contents to spill.
11. Hygiene treatment The modules and the accessories used must be subjected to a hygiene treatment after every use. After that, you should always perform a function check (see “12. Function check” on page 42). 11.1 Preparing the OMNIVAC secretion aspiration system Note When taking off and emptying aspirate bottles,...
11.2 Cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing The individual parts can be cleaned, disinfected and sterilized as listed in the table below. Follow the instructions for use for the disinfectant used. We recommend TERRALIN. It is recommended that suitable gloves (e.g. household or disposable gloves) are used for disinfecting.
Washing Parts Clean Disinfect Sterilize machine cycle Hot-steam In hot water with Immerse in Mask for inhalation, Washing cycle sterilization a mild household dilute solution reusable up to 95 °C up to 134 °C detergent CPAP valve Disposable item, re-use not permitted, replace for every patient (1) After disinfecting the parts, rinse them thoroughly in distilled water and then leave them to dry.
12. Function check If you find any faults or deviations from specified values during the function check, you may not use the modules or OMNIVAC again until the faults have been remedied. We recommend that you always keep in stock: •...
12.2 Check filling Open the oxygen supply valve . You can now slowly read off cylinder pressure at the pressure gauge of the pressure reducer. A display of 200 bar, for example, means that the cylinder is full, whilst at 100 bar, it is still half full.
Calculating operating time for CPAP therapy Example: reserve = 1000 l; setting for CPAP 5 hPa = O consumption of 20 l/min: 1000 l Operating time for CPAP therapy (min) = = 50 min 20 l/min Consumption with Set CPAP therapy pressure Boussignac CPAP valve for [hPa] CPAP MODULE [l/min]...

You should therefore plug WEINMANN Emergency test pressure gauge WM 15294 onto connection for the vacuum 4. Read off the value which becomes constant on the pressure gauge (Suction MODULE) or on the test pressure gauge (Combi MODULE).
If this value is not reached, the connections must be checked for leaks. 12.6 Checking oxygen flow 1. Switch on the MODULE. Required for the CPAP MODULE 2. Use the dial to open the oxygen supply. The oxygen must be felt to come out at the CPAP valve connection.
13. Troubleshooting Fault Cause of fault Remedy Find and eliminate leak (see Unusually high oxygen Leak in system “12.3 Test leaktightness” on consumption page 44) Replace oxygen cylinder (see Oxygen cylinder empty “4.2 Connecting oxygen supply” on page 14) Check assembly (see “4.1 Module incorrectly assembled Assembling the modules”...
Fault Cause of fault Remedy Needle of pressure Adjust pressure gauge needle Pressure gauge needs adjusting gauge not at zero (see following section) 13.1 Adjusting pressure gauge If the needle of the pressure gauge does not show zero when at rest (device switched off and oxygen cylinder connected), perform the steps which follow.
We recommend having maintenance measures such as servicing or repair work carried out by the manufacturer, WEINMANN Emergency, or by professionals expressly authorized by the manufacturer to do this. The devices should be serviced every 4 years. The device should be cleaned and disinfected beforehand(see “11.
Take the following into account. • Visual inspection: – mechanical damage – labeling of components • Accuracy of the pressure display • Leaktightness of system • Oxygen output and aspiration performance • Replace wear parts, compulsory change parts.
