Dräger Apollo User Manual

Introduction
16 Instructions for Use Apollo SW 4.5n
Part Number: 9053586, 3rd edition
Indications and contraindications
Indications
The Apollo is indicated as a continuous flow
anesthesia system. The Apollo may be used for
manually assisted or automatic ventilation, delivery of
gases and anesthetic vapor, and monitoring of oxygen
and CO
2 concentration, breathing pressure, respiratory
volume, and anesthetic agent concentration and
identification.
Contraindications
This device has no product-specific contraindications.
The user is responsible for selecting a treatment
appropriate to the underlying disease of the patient.
The patient’s condition must be monitored
continuously.
Note: Apollo applies medical gases such as oxygen,
nitrous oxide, or volatile anesthetic agents.
Stricly follow the instructions for use of the
medical gases. Pay particular attention to the
contraindications of the medical gases used.
Intended Use
The Apollo is an inhalation anesthesia machine for use
in operating, induction, and recovery rooms. It can be
used with rebreathing systems, semi-closed to virtually
closed systems with low flow and minimal flow
techniques, and non-rebreathing systems (with the
Auxiliary Common Gas Outlet).
It may be used with O
2, N2O, and Air supplied by a
medical gas pipeline system or by externally mounted
gas cylinders. Anesthetic agent can be delivered via
vaporizers mounted on the machine.
The Apollo is equipped with a compact breathing
system, providing fresh-gas decoupling, PEEP, and
pressure limitation. It has an electrically driven and
electronically controlled ventilator.
Optional:
As an option, the device can be configured in a way
that it must be operated with O
2 and Air instead of
N
2O.
