Installing An Oxygen Adapter (Optional) - Puritan Bennett Sandman Duo Manual De Utilización

Installing an oxygen adapter (optional)

If supplemental oxygen is required, follow the manufacturer's installation instructions of
the special one-way valve to prevent oxygen from accumulating in the device when the
device is halted, and then replace Step 3 of the standard installation procedure with the
following step:
3. Connect one end of the oxygen adapter to the free end of the patient circuit and the
other end to the mask.
Continue with steps 4 through 6 of the standard installation procedure.
WARNINGS
•
When using oxygen, always follow the instructions of the medical team or home
care provider.
•
Do not smoke in the presence of oxygen.
•
Do not inject oxygen into the device's air intake.
•
Carefully follow the instructions for starting and stopping treatment, defined under
"" on page 44.
•
If you use an oxygen concentrator or liquid oxygen unit, stop the flow of oxygen
when the device is not operating. If the oxygen concentrator remains on when the
device is turned off, the oxygen delivered into the patient circuit could accumulate
inside the device, creating a fire hazard.
CAUTION
For a given oxygen flow, the concentration of oxygen inhaled varies as a feature of the
pressure settings, your breathing, the type of mask used and the leak rate. This
precaution applies to most Continuous Positive Airway Pressure devices.
