Auxiliary Common Gas Outlet
WARNING
Using the ACGO
2076152-001
Use the optional Auxiliary Common Gas Outlet (ACGO) switch to
direct the fresh gas flow through the ACGO port on the front of the
system. The ACGO may be used to provide fresh gas to an auxiliary
manual breathing circuit. Fresh gas delivered through the ACGO port
may contain O2, Air, N2O, and anesthetic agent, depending on user
settings.
Mechanical ventilation is not available when using an auxiliary
manual breathing circuit with fresh gas from the ACGO. The Bag/
Vent switch, APL valve, and CO2 absorber are not part of the
external circuit. Volume monitoring is not available.
O2 monitoring of fresh gas is available when the ACGO is selected if
the system has the airway module option. Systems with the airway
module option display the patient circuit O2 value obtained from the
airway module.
Delivered fresh gas O2 concentration is calculated and displayed
based on fresh gas flow control settings.
The Bag/Vent switch and the APL valve do not control
the ACGO or any breathing circuit connected to the
ACGO. Do not use these controls when using a breathing
circuit with fresh gas from the ACGO. Patient injury may
occur.
•
Volume monitoring is not available through the system
when using the ACGO port, but pressure monitoring is
available. Monitor the patient using other methods.
•
Do not use an external ventilator on the ACGO. Do not
use the ACGO to drive external ventilators or for jet
ventilation.
•
The maximum pressure at the ACGO can be up to 12.25
kPa (1.78 psi). Use a breathing circuit with a pressure
limiting device to limit the pressure at the patient
connection port, during normal and single-fault
conditions, to less than 12.25 kPa (125 cmH2O) or to the
maximum pressure required by local standards.
