Condensate Management - Fisher&Paykel myAIRVO 2 Manual De Usuario

Check that water flows into the chamber and is maintained below the
maximum water level line. If the water level rises above the maximum
water level line, replace the chamber immediately.

WARNINGS
To avoid burns:
• Do not start the unit without the water chamber in place.
• Do not touch the heater plate, water chamber or chamber base during use.
• The water in the chamber becomes hot during use. Exercise caution when
removing and emptying the chamber.
To avoid electric shock:
• When handling the unit with the water chamber in place, avoid tilting the
machine to prevent any chance of water entering the unit enclosure.
• Empty all the water from the water chamber before transporting the unit.
CAUTIONS
To ensure optimal therapy (MR290 only):
• Do not use the auto-fill MR290 chamber if it has been dropped or been allowed
to run dry, this could lead to the chamber over filling.
• Do not use the MR290 chamber if the water level rises above the maximum water
level line as this may lead to water entering the patient's airway.
3. INSTALL HEATED BREATHING TUBE
One end of the heated breathing tube has a blue plastic sleeve. Lift the
sleeve and slide the connector onto the unit. Push the sleeve down to
lock.
WARNINGS
To avoid burns:
• Do not modify the breathing tube or interface in any way.
• Do not allow the breathing tube to remain in direct contact with skin for
prolonged periods of time. The healthcare professional shall assess the conditions
for safe contact, such as duration and skin condition.
• Do not add heat above ambient levels to any part of the breathing tube or
interface e.g. by covering with a blanket or by heating with infrared radiation, an
overhead heater, or an incubator.
• Do not use an insulating sleeve or any similar accessories which are not
recommended by Fisher & Paykel Healthcare.
CAUTIONS
• Position the heated breathing tube away from any electrical monitoring leads
(EEG, ECG/EKG, EMG, etc), to minimize any possible interference with the
monitored signal.

CONDENSATE MANAGEMENT

The unit must be placed below head height and flat, this allows
condensate to drain towards the water chamber, away from the patient.
If excess condensate accumulates in the heated breathing tube,
disconnect the patient interface from the heated breathing tube, drain
the condensate by lifting the patient end of the tube, allowing the
condensate to run into the water chamber.
At higher target flow rates, it may be necessary to first reduce the
target flow rate to 30 L/min or below, to ensure the condensate drains
into the water chamber.
Minimize local sources of cooling acting on the heated breathing tube,
such as a fan to cool the patient or an air-conditioning unit/vent
If condensate persists, consider turning the target temperature down.
A lower target temperature will decrease the humidity output of the
unit, decreasing the level of condensation.
Note: The temperature and humidity level delivered to the patient will
also be reduced.
