7. Select Volume Apnea (if available) and set to On or Off. • The volume apnea alarm is disabled when Volume Apnea is set to Off during manual ventilation. The volume apnea alarm remains off until mechanical ventilation starts or Volume Apnea is set to On in the Alarm Setup menu. Note When Volume Apnea is set to Off during manual ventilation and then mechanical ventilation is started, the volume apnea alarms are active. Volume Apnea - Off requires confirmation through a pop-up window when manual ventilation is resumed. 8. To change the alarm settings before starting a case: • Push the Alarm Setup key. • To change the alarm settings, select Adjust Settings. - Change the settings. - Select Back. • Make any other changes to the alarm setup. • To start a case, select Start Case Now. Gas flow starts. • To change the ventilator settings, select the Vent Setup key. Follow the instructions in the next steps to change the ventilator settings. Note If changes are only made to the alarm settings and no changes are made to the ventilator settings, the ventilator settings are set to the selection made on the Start Case menu: Defaults, Last Case, or Patient Weight. 9. To change ventilator settings for the selected mode before starting a case: • Push the Vent Setup key. • Select Adjust Settings. • Change the settings. • Select Exit. • Select Start Case Now. Gas flow starts. 10. To change the ventilation mode before starting a case: • Push the Vent Setup key. • Select the desired mode. • Select Confirm or adjust the settings and select Confirm. • Select Start Case Now. Gas flow starts. Note If changes are made only to the ventilator settings and no changes are made to the alarm settings, the alarm settings are set to the selection made in the Start Case menu: Defaults, Last Case, or Patient Weight. 1011-0700-000

WARNING Most anesthetic agents will cause patients to have reduced ventilatory responses to carbon dioxide and to hypoxemia. Therefore, triggered modes of ventilation may not produce adequate ventilation.
w The use of neuromuscular blocking agents will reduce the patient’s breathing response, which will interfere with triggering. Note Refer to the “Specifications and Theory of Operation” section in Part 2 of the User’s Reference manual for more information on ventilation modes.
Using quick keys The three main ventilator settings for each mode can easily be changed using the ventilator quick keys. 1. Push a ventilator quick key to select the corresponding ventilator setting. 2. Turn the ComWheel to make a change. 3. Push the ComWheel to activate (confirm) the change. 16

Using Vent Setup menu 1. Push the Vent Setup key. • An arrow to the right of the mode indicates the current mode. • Adjust Settings is selected by default. 2. Push the ComWheel to enter the adjustment window for the selected mode. 3. Use the ComWheel to navigate through the adjustment window and to change a value. 4. Push the ComWheel to activate the change. 5. Push the Normal Screen key or select Exit.
Changing ventilator modes and settings 1. Push the Vent Setup key. 2. Select the mode and push the ComWheel to enter the adjustment window. 3. Use the ComWheel to navigate through the adjustment window and to change a value. 4. Confirm the settings to activate the mode.
Manual ventilation cardiac bypass Manual ventilation cardiac bypass suspends alarms for patients on cardiac bypass when the ventilator is not mechanically ventilating. The volume, apnea, low agent, low CO2, and respiratory rate alarms are suspended. The alarms are enabled when cardiac bypass is turned off or mechanical ventilation is started.
WARNING Manual ventilation cardiac bypass and VCV cardiac bypass modes should only be used when the patient is receiving extra-corporeal oxygenation by means of a heart-lung machine. These modes of ventilation are not intended to provide metabolic levels of ventilation to the patient. 1. Set the Bag/Vent switch to Bag. 2. Push the Main Menu key. 3. Set Cardiac Bypass to On. • The general message ‘Cardiac Bypass’ shows in the waveforms and in the general message field when passive cardiac bypass is active. 1011-0700-000
17
VCV cardiac bypass (optional) Systems equipped with VCV cardiac bypass and enabled in the Super User menu can use the cardiac bypass feature during mechanical ventilation while in VCV mode. Only VCV mode is available while using VCV cardiac bypass. The volume, apnea, low Paw, low agent, CO2, and respiratory rate alarms are suspended. The alarms are enabled when VCV cardiac bypass is turned off or mechanical ventilation is stopped.
WARNING Manual ventilation cardiac bypass and VCV cardiac bypass modes should only be used when the patient is receiving extra-corporeal oxygenation by means of a heart-lung machine. These modes of ventilation are not intended to provide metabolic levels of ventilation to the patient. 1. Start mechanical ventilation in VCV mode. 2. Push the Main Menu key. 3. Set Cardiac Bypass to On. • PEEP is set to 5 cmH2O and TV is set to 170 ml when the VCV setting for TV is greater than 170 ml. • The general message ‘VCV Cardiac Bypass’ shows in the waveforms and in the general message field when VCV cardiac bypass is active.
Gas setup Using quick keys The O2%, total flow, and agent concentration can easily be changed using the gas quick keys. 1. Push a gas quick key to select the corresponding gas setting. 2. Turn the ComWheel to make a change. 3. Push the ComWheel to activate (confirm) the change.
