There are several accessories you can use with the ventilator.
Adding a Humidifier
Use of a humidifier may reduce nasal dryness and irritation by adding moisture to the airflow.
If you are using a humidifier with the ventilator, refer to the instructions provided with the humidifier for complete setup information.
Adding Supplemental Oxygen to the Device
The delivered oxygen concentration varies with changes in flow in the circuit. The following may have an impact on oxygen concentration:
•• Pressure settings
•• Patient Tidal Volume
•• Peak Inspiratory Flow
•• I:E Ratio
•• Respiratory rate
•• Circuit leak rate
•• Oxygen flow rate
To add oxygen to the circuit, the oxygen supply must comply with the local regulations for medical oxygen. The oxygen flow into the oxygen valve cannot exceed 15 l/min and the pressure cannot exceed 50 psi.
