O
2
flush
Pressing the O
2
flush button manually supplies the system with an additional gas flow of approx. 50
l/min from the O
2
gas supply. The flow will continue as long as O
2
flush button is depressed. During
the O
2
flush activation, the system will hold the set PEEP.
Sampling line and water trap
Always connect the sampling line to the HME-filter located on the endo-tracheal tube, this will
minimize the risk of contaminating the anesthesia machine.
The Flow anesthesia machines are equipped with a side-stream multigas analyzer with an
integrated O
2
sensor. The length and inner diameter of the sampling line determine how long time it
will take before the gas data and curves information is displayed on the screen. There will, in
other words, be a delay in values and waveforms of several seconds compared to the ICU-
ventilators. Connection of several sampling lines in order to extend the line’s reach will increase
this time.
The water trap, sampling line and connectors are all part of a system optimized for the patient gas
analyzer to protect it from condensed water, secretions, bacterial contamination and dust. The
water trap comprises a filter housing (with hydrophobic anti-bacterial filter), and a water container
for separated waste. The filter housing has one gas sampling inlet that is connected to the
sampling tube.
The sampling line is not reusable and must be replaced between patients or when the cleanliness
of the tubing or connector is compromised.
Check the water trap and sampling line regularly and discard/empty any water present in the water
trap. Empty or discard the water trap after 17 hours of active use, or when half full. The content of
the water trap should be handled as as biological hazardous waste.
