provide immediate corrective action in the event of a malfunction.
► The user must not rely solely on the built-in ventilation monitoring.
► The user bears full responsibility for proper ventilation, and for the patient's
safety, in all situations.
► Do not make therapeutic decisions based solely on individual measured values
and monitoring parameters.
► An etCO2 value is insufficient as a basis for medical decisions. Always consider
multiple values as part of the decision-making process.
Settings on the device

To ensure proper ventilation, the total dead space of the breathing circuit must be
considered when setting the ventilation parameters. This applies particularly when
using low tidal volumes.
► Observe for signs of CO2 rebreathing.
► The factory presettings of the device must be compared with standard
procedures and the valid guidelines, e.g., of the American Heart Association or
the European Resuscitation Council.
► The device settings must be checked for each patient and adjusted to the
patient’s condition as necessary.
Device malfunction
If a malfunction is detected in the ventilator, and its life-preserving function can no
longer be ensured (e.g., in the event of a power failure or an interruption of the gas
supply), ventilation with an independent ventilation device (breathing bag) must be
started immediately.
► Keep a manual resuscitator at the ready.
► Ventilate with PEEP and/or increased inspiratory O2 concentration if necessary.

Transporting the device

If the device is operated during transport, there is a risk of selecting undesired
settings or the device falling down.

Display of the battery charge during battery operation

28575
When the device is switched on, the remaining battery charge is displayed in the
header bar below the oxygen mode as a symbol, in increments of 25 percent. In
addition, the remaining duration of operation (H:MM) is displayed (A). The numeric
display appears after a short delay on startup.

Getting started
– The accuracy of the indicated battery charge may vary depending on the age
and condition of the battery.
– When other messages need to be displayed in the notification field, the indicated
battery charge will not be visible.
– Additional alarms draw attention to the remaining duration of operation of the
battery.
When an external power source is connected, the battery symbol is joined by a

power plug symbol.
6.2 Determining the approximate pneumatic duration of

operation
The current gas consumption from the high-pressure supply is displayed in L/min
on the device's screen in the field below the oxygen mode. This display is not
visible when a message with higher priority is activated or other messages are
displayed in the notification field.
WARNING
If the oxygen supply is insufficient during operation, the patient may be put at risk.
► Before starting operation, check the cylinder pressure on the pressure gauge of
the pressure reducer so as to rule out the possibility of insufficient oxygen supply
during operation.
► Always have a full replacement oxygen cylinder ready.
Example for oxygen supply:

– Cylinder pressure measured on the pressure gauge of the pressure reducer:
20000 kPa (200 bar)
– Filling volume of the oxygen cylinder: 2.1 L
Oxygen supply: 2.1 L x 20000 kPa = approx. 420 L at ambient pressure
Example or pneumatic duration of operation:
– Ventilation mode: VC-CMV, respiratory rate 12 /min; tidal volume: 0.40 L;
oxygen mode: 100 % O2
– Minute volume: 12 /min x 0.40 L = 4.8 L/min
– Displayed average gas consumption of the ventilator: 4.4 L/min
The displayed value may be smaller than the expected minute volume, as it is
not subject to the BTPS correction.
Duration of operation = oxygen supply [L] / displayed average gas consumption

[L/min] = 420 L / 4.4 L/min = 95 min
The pneumatic duration of operation is extended when the device is running in
O2/air mix mode, as it then draws in ambient air.

● Immediately start ventilating the patient with an independent manual ventilation
device (breathing bag) using PEEP and/or an
increased inspiratory oxygen concentration as necessary.
8.4 Setting alarm limits

Alarm limits can be set for the following parameters:
– Airway pressure Paw
– Respiratory rate RR

Alarms
– Minute volume MVe (option)

– End-tidal CO2 concentration etCO2 (option)
Upper alarm limit for Paw

The airway pressure Paw is monitored by the ventilator and limited to the set
maximum inspiratory pressure Pmax. The airway pressure is limited when Pmax is
reached; inspiration will not be terminated prematurely. Pmax appears in the
pressure bar as a dashed line. As soon as this dashed line is surpassed by 5 mbar,
the device sounds the alarm Airway pressure high.
Lower alarm limit for Paw

The ventilator automatically generates an alarm if the difference between the
