Low Tidal Volume Ventilation
When using volumes between 35 and 50 ml, use the infant/pediatric external flow sensor with either the active flow or dual limb circuits. See the
operating instruction sheets included with those accessories.
Adding Oxygen
High Pressure Oxygen
To ensure accurate oxygen administration and to monitor for the presence of contamination, use an FiO
2
sensor or external oxygen monitor to
verify the oxygen concentration in the delivered gas.
To connect high-pressure oxygen: Connect an oxygen hose to the high-pressure oxygen connector on the back panel, and then connect the other
end of the hose to the source. After you have completed the connection, calibrate the O
2
sensor. See chapter 7, “Device Options, O
2
Sensor
Calibration.” To maintain accuracy, calibrate the oxygen sensor daily.
