- Power on. The device will run through a self-test (all lights will illuminate, and will alarm for a moment).
- Connect tubing: Tubing will only attach one way. Ensure any patient circuit is being attached on the light grey side of ports, as pictured above. Ensure all connections of the circuit are tight; loose connections may cause low pressure or disconnect alarm.
- Select height and confirm (failure to select confirm will not change and or set appropriate settings). Any time a change is made, the CONFIRM button must be pressed. The device will default to a PEEP of 0; ensure adjustments are made IAW CPG or protocol.
- Attach to airway device.
- Confirm ventilations.
- Adjust PEEP if needed by setting PEEP and hitting confirm.
NOTE: This device is intended for short term or transport use, and is not intended to replace other ventilators available. Consider transitioning the patient to another ventilator (731, 754, or Hamilton T1) as soon as feasible.
