9.6 Suction
The ventilator provides a suction procedure to help the ICU staff to complete the suction
maneuver. The ventilator detects the procedure of disconnecting or reconnecting the patient
tubing. The ventilator starts oxygen enrichment before and after the suction, and disables the
otherwise relevant alarm messages during the suction.
1. Press the [O
2
↑ Suction] key. The system delivers oxygen enrichment to the patient
and monitors within the 120-second period of oxygen enrichment if the patient tubing
are disconnected. Disconnect the patient tubing in this period.
2. After disconnecting the patient tubing, the system prompts [The Patient is
Disconnected! Reconnect Patient after Suction Completed!] and stops ventilating the
patient. In this case, you can apply manual suction to the patient.
3. Reconnect the patient tubing after the suction. When patient connection is detected, the
system delivers oxygen enrichment to the patient.
During the oxygen enrichment periods, pressing the [O
2
↑ Suction] key can terminate the
procedure.
NOTE
P0.1, PEEPi, and NIF are disabled after suction is activated.
9.7 P0.1
P0.1 is the occlusion pressure drop within the first 100 ms after a patient starts spontaneous
breathing.
1. Select the [Tools] key→[Diagnostics]→[P0.1].
2. Select [P0.1] to access the P0.1 measurement window.
3. Select [Start]. The system starts P0.1 measurement and prompts [Measurement
Active].
4. After the measurement is completed, the measurement result is displayed. The ventilator
can display the three most recent measurement results.
5. After the measurement is completed, Waveforms and Spirometry screen is frozen
automatically.
NOTE
Suction, PEEPi, and NIF are disabled after P0.1 is activated.
During P0.1 measurement, pressing the [Freeze] key does not produce freezing
operation.
If no operation is performed on P0.1 measurement window within three minutes,
the measurement window exits automatically.
