RETURN TO CD-ROM TABLE OF CONTENTS Operating Instructions Real Time Pressure Bar Graph A common feature of all data screens is the real time pressure bar graph. The bar graph represents the instantaneous pressure within the breathing circuit. If the pressure exceeds the limits of the display (more than 120 cm O or less than -10 cm H O), the bottom or top segments will blink.
RETURN TO CD-ROM TABLE OF CONTENTS Operating Instructions Alarm Function Keys Clearing None of the monitor’s alarms is a latching type alarm. When an alarm Alarms condition exists, the monitor clears the alarm at the end of the next breath if the respiratory parameter falls within alarm limits during that breath.

RETURN TO CD-ROM TABLE OF CONTENTS Cleaning and Sterilizing User Responsibilities The frequency, level, and need for disinfection of the NAD Omicron Monitor and its accessories are determined by your facility based on the conditions of use and hospital infection control policy.
RETURN TO CD-ROM TABLE OF CONTENTS Cleaning and Sterilizing Flow Head Prior to disinfection, remove the pressure tubing from the flow head. Clean dirt debris and extraneous matter from the flow head by means of a soap and water solution. This can be accomplished through hand washing, use of a mechanical washer, or ultrasonic bath.
Page 24
RETURN TO CD-ROM TABLE OF CONTENTS Cleaning and Sterilizing As an alternative, the tubing may be disinfected using a 2% glutaraldehyde solution or using ethylene oxide gas (EtO). Soak the tubing in a 2% glutaraldehyde solution for more than 20 minutes. When using the EtO process, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.
