Loading Default Settings; Entering The Patient's Age; Entering The Patient's Ideal Body Weight (Optional) - Dräger Primus Infinity Empowered Instructions For Use Manual

Operation
NOTE
If during operation the breathing hoses are for any
reason no longer able to be identified by the an-
esthesia machine, an alarm condition will be gen-
erated; if confirmed, this alarm condition will no
longer be displayed.
Patient data
Patient age is transferred as is; for transfer of data
from another Primus Infinity Empowered, the ideal
body weight is transferred as is, otherwise it is cal-
culated according to patient height and patient cat-
egory (adult, pediatric, or neonate) or age.

Loading default settings

The default settings for fresh-gas delivery, ventila-
tion, and alarms are loaded in the Standby screen
and can be modified in the standard configuration if
necessary.
These default settings are valid whenever Primus
Infinity Empowered is switched on. They can be
changed and set as required for the specific hospi-
tal concerned, see "Configuring the default set-
tings" on page 166.

Entering the patient's age

The set age influences the calculation of the MAC
value, the volumeter scale, the V-axis of the loops
and ventilation monitoring, as well as the alarm lim-
its for SpO
and the automatic volume adjustment of the
Breathing Sound Emulator (BSE) module during
operation.
In addition, the trigger sensitivities and software al-
gorithms for suppressing artifacts are also modi-
fied, thus influencing the quality of ventilation in
modes supporting spontaneous breathing.
1 Press the soft key age (B).
2 Set and confirm the age using the rotary knob.
The patient age parameter is available in the
Standby screen as well as in all ventilation modes.
Changing the patient's age during operation imme-
diately influences the parameters described above.
Entering the patient's ideal body weight
(optional)
The patient's ideal body weight describes that pro-
portion of the body relevant to setting the ventilation
parameters (the patient's body weight minus the
assumed excess fat).
The set ideal body weight influences the ventilator
default settings for tidal volume V
freq. as well as the alarm limits for the expiratory
minute volume MV during operation.
1 Press the soft key weight (C).
2 Set and confirm the weight using the rotary
knob.
The patient weight parameter is available in the
Standby screen as well as in all ventilation modes.
