Section 2 Principles of Operation The Vapotherm Oxygen Assist Module is designed to work with the Precision Flow system to manage oxygen delivery based on patient clinical need as reflected in their SpO2 reading. This automatic control system uses a proprietary feedback control algorithm to track a patient’s oxygen saturation and automatically adjust the oxygen concentration delivered through their respiratory support.
Vapotherm Oxygen Assist Module
Vapotherm Precision Flow
The Vapotherm Oxygen Assist Module uses proven pulse oximetry and Precision Flow gas delivery technologies and a proprietary algorithm that increases or decreases the %O2 setting in an effort to maintain a target SpO2 value. The clinician sets the target SpO2 and the system uses the algorithm that combines analysis of real-time measurements and trending to choose the appropriate %O2 delivery. Oxygen Assist Module is designed for use with the Precision Flow System, which controls the %O2 delivery based on a setting sent from Oxygen Assist Module or being set on the Precision Flow itself manually. The Oxygen Assist Module communicates with the Precision Flow through the serial interface port located on the back of the Precision Flow unit.

Section 9 SpO2 Setup Sensor Selection and Placement Select an appropriate sensor, apply it as directed, and observe all warnings and cautions presented in the Instructions for Use accompanying the sensor. Clean and remove any substances such as nail polish from the application site. Periodically check to ensure that the recommended sensor remains properly positioned on the patient. Consult the sensor Instructions for Use for proper sensor application. Apply the sensor as follows: 1. Remove plastic backing from the sensor and locate transparent windows on the adhesive side. Windows cover optical components. 2. Orient the sensor so the dashed line is on the lateral edge of the site. Note: When selecting a sensor site, priority should be given to an extremity free of an arterial catheter, blood pressure cuff, or intravascular infusion line. 3. Wrap the sensor firmly, but not too tightly around the foot or finger. Windows must oppose each other. For more information on application of the sensor, consult the Nellcor sensor Directions for Use.
Warnings: Do not use the sensor during MRI scanning. Conducted current may cause burns. Also, the sensor may affect the MRI image, and the MRI unit may affect the accuracy of oximetry measurements.
•
Cautions: In the event of damage to the sterile packaging, do NOT re-sterilize. Follow local governing ordinances and recycling instructions regarding disposal or recycling of sensors. Failure to apply the sensor properly may cause incorrect measurements.
• • • • • • • • • •
While the sensor is designed to reduce the effects of ambient light, excessive light may cause inaccurate measurements. In such cases, cover the sensor with opaque material. Circulation distal to the sensor site should be checked routinely. The site must be inspected every 8 hours to ensure adhesion, application pressure, skin integrity, and correct optical alignment. If skin integrity changes, move the sensor to another site. If the sensor is misapplied with excessive pressure, a pressure injury can occur. Intravascular dyes or externally applied coloring such as nail polish, dye, or pigmented cream may lead to inaccurate measurements. Excessive motion may compromise performance. In such cases, try to keep the patient still, or change the sensor site to one with less motion. Do not immerse in water or cleaning solutions. Do not resterilize. Immersion or resterilization could damage the sensor. If the sensor is wrapped too tightly or supplemental tape is applied, venous pulsations may lead to inaccurate saturation measurements. Do not alter or modify the sensor. Alterations or modifications may affect performance or accuracy. For additional warnings, cautions or contraindications when using this sensor with Nellcorcompatible instruments, refer to the instrument operator’s manual or contact the manufacturer of the instrument. Note: High oxygen levels may predispose a premature infant to develop retinopathy. Therefore, the upper alarm limit for oxygen saturation must be carefully selected in accordance with accepted clinical standards and considering the accuracy range of the oximeter being used.

3101888-EN Rev C Vapotherm Oxygen Assist Module Instructions for Use
Section 9 SpO2 Setup It is important that an appropriate / recommended sensor is selected, apply it as directed, and observe all warnings and cautions presented in the Instructions for Use accompanying the sensor. Clean and remove any substances such as nail polish from the application site. Periodically check to ensure that the recommended sensor remains properly positioned on the patient. High ambient light sources such as surgical lights (especially those with a xenon light source), bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, and direct sunlight can interfere with the performance of a recommended sensor. To prevent interference from ambient light, ensure the recommended sensor is properly applied and cover the sensor with opaque material. Application issues and certain patient conditions can affect the measurements of the monitoring system and cause the loss of the pulse signal. Anemia - Anemia causes decreased arterial oxygen content. Although SpO2 readings may appear normal, an anemic patient may be hypoxic. Correcting anemia can improve arterial oxygen content. The monitoring system may fail to provide an SpO2 reading if hemoglobin levels fall below 5 gm/dl. Dysfunctional hemoglobins - Dysfunctional hemoglobins such as carboxyhemoglobin, methemoglobin, and sulfhemoglobin are unable to carry oxygen. SpO2 readings may appear normal; however, a patient may be hypoxic because less hemoglobin is available to carry oxygen. Further assessment beyond pulse oximetry is recommended.
• •
A variety of conditions can cause inaccurate sensor measurements. Incorrect application of the recommended sensor Placement of the recommended sensor on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular line Ambient light and/or electromagnetic interference Failure to cover the sensor site with opaque material when operating under high ambient light conditions Excessive patient movement Dark skin pigment
• • • • • • •
Intravascular dyes or externally applied coloring, such as nail polish or pigmented cream
Loss-of-pulse signal can occur for several reasons. Recommended sensor applied too tightly
• • • •
Inflation of a blood pressure cuff on the same extremity as the attached sensor Arterial occlusion proximal to the recommended sensor Poor peripheral perfusion
If patient movement presets a problem, try one or more of the following: Verify the recommended sensor is properly and securely applied.
• • • • •
Move the sensor to a less active site. Use an adhesive sensor that improves patient skin contact. Use a new sensor with fresh adhesive backing. Keep the patient still, if possible.
If patient has poor perfusion, consider using the Nellcor™ forehead SpO2 sensor (MAXFAST), which provides superior detection in the presence of vasoconstriction. Nellcor™ forehead SpO2 sensors work particularly well on supine patients. During low perfusion conditions, Nellcor™ forehead SpO2 sensors reflect changes to SpO2 values up to 60 seconds earlier than digit sensor. 3101888-EN Rev C Vapotherm Oxygen Assist Module Instructions for Use
