(4) Select a prong or mask with the aid of the measuring tape. The
prong should be selected such that it is large enough to seal the
entire nostril. The mask should be selected such that it fits precisely
along the sides of the nostrils. A prong is placed on the Miniflow
generator such that the arched side of the prong points toward the
patient's upper lip. The mask is attached such that it conforms to
the shape of the nose.
Instruction: prongs and masks
Always use the largest possible prong to avoid leaks and ensure
the best possible positioning – the smaller the leak is, the higher
and more stable the CPAP pressure is
Warning: prongs and masks:
Always insert the Miniflow completely into the prongs or masks
and don't use creme near the prong, mask or Miniflow, otherwise
the prong or mask can slip of the Miniflow.
Do not re-use the prongs or masks. They are for single patient use
only. Sterilized and disinfected prongs and masks may harden and
cause injury to the patient.
(5) Select a bonnet of the correct size using the measuring tape
and the corresponding colour coding. The bonnet should be
secured firmly enough but without leading to deformation
of the head. Remove the separate hook and loop tape from
the bonnet and put it aside, within easy reach. The bonnet is
placed on the head such that the gap between the two fleece
parts is centred over the forehead. The bonnet should cover
the ears and be pulled down to the nape of the neck. Thread
the fixation straps through the loops on the prong or on the
mask (see picture).
Instruction: bonnets
Pull the bonnet down to just above the patient's eyebrows, as close
as possible to the eyes – this makes it easier to secure the Medijet.
Bonnets which are too small lead to deformation of the patient's
head. Bonnets which are too large cannot ensure sufficient fixation
of the CPAP generator.
(6) Select the most appropriate angle for the prong adapter of the
Miniflow (45° or 60°). If a prong is used, it generally yields the
narrower angle; if a mask is used, it generally yields the wider angle.
Place the Minifoam foam wedge between the two fleece pieces in
the middle of the bonnet. Fit the Miniflow into the oval opening of
the foam provided. Insert the prong into the nostrils. In doing so,
maintain a small distance between the nasal septum and the base
of the prong. When using the mask, ensure that it rests evenly on
the skin. The nostrils must be kept clear and should not be displaced
by any part of the mask. Using the hook and loop tape, secure the
Miniflow from above to the fleece pieces of the bonnet. Secure the
end of hook and loop tape of the strap in the area of the ears as an
extension of the fixation loop of the prong. Do not pull the straps
too tightly; they should only provide the lateral support needed.
