•
The external power supply and battery are component parts of
the medical electrical equipment system.
•
The ventilator is considered as a high flow device as its
maximum flow output at pressure of 40.6 PSI is around 100
L/min. It should only be connected to a pipeline system that
allows for the indicated high flow to avoid interfering with the
operation of adjacent equipment.
•
Always ensure that all components are assembled correctly
and ready for use.
•
When selecting very small tidal volumes during ventilation of
infants, take into consideration the dead space in the patient
circuit.
