Special functions
11.3.1 Manual inspiration (manual Breath)
In virtually all Ventilation modes a Manual breath
(with the Ventilation
parameters set in the current Ventilation mode
) can be triggered by pressing
the Manual Inspiration button.
• The duration of the manual breath can be set under Configurations
Menu - >Ventilation.
• This may last 2 to 30 seconds, then a termination of the manual
breath will be forced.
• The next manual breath is only allowed after a Block Period of 200
milliseconds.
NOTE
: Manual breath is NOT available in O
2
Therapy mode.
Some clinicians use this for a manual sustained lung inflation after
suctioning.
A Manual breath however can lead to lung over distension.
11.3.2 Nebulizing medications (
optional
)
WARNING
: Flow Sensor wires are HOT.
• If the Flow Sensor remains in the breathing system for extended periods
during Nebulizing without being cleaned, deposits can form from the
medication aerosols and impair Flow Measurement.
• In worst case scenarios these deposits could ignite.
• Disconnecting the plug from the flow sensor does NOT prevent the risk
of ignition from medication deposits.
• Always remove the flow sensor before nebulizing medication.
