Instructions for Use Apollo SW 4.5n 37
Part Number: 9053586, 3rd edition
Figure 5. Location of O2 FlushO2 flush
A manually operated O2 flush valve is located on the
front of the machine (1 in Figure 5). When actuated,
the valve delivers an unmetered flow of at least
35 L/min to the breathing system and breathing bag
while bypassing the ventilator. The Apollo does not
have to be switched on to use the O
2 flush.
1. To operate the O
2 flush, press the O2+ button.
Oxygen flows into the breathing system without
anesthetic gas as long as the button is pressed
in.
Auxiliary oxygen flow meter
Figure 6. Auxiliary Oxygen flow meterThe auxiliary oxygen flow meter delivers a metered
flow of pure oxygen, used, for example in the delivery
of oxygen through a nasal cannula. Auxiliary oxygen
can be used in any ventilation mode, in Standby, or
even if the machine is switched off.
CAUTION!
Risk of inadequate pressure monitoring
The optional auxiliary outlets are not pressure
monitored.
Pressure monitoring must be ensured by the
connected device.
WARNING!
Risk of fire
Cauterizing close to a source of oxygen can
lead to fire. Make sure that all connectors (e.g.,
Y-piece, breathing hoses including the
breathing bag, breathing system, external fresh-
gas outlet, oxygen therapy, anesthetic gas
receiving system) are leak-free so that oxygen
leakage cannot endanger the user or the patient.
