Taema OPTI-NO

3. Flushing the OPTI-NO

The OPTI-NO is flushed to remove any gas trapped
inside the device.
Flushing is indispensable to eliminate the toxic
products which may be created by the transfor-
mation of the NO (NO ) in the presence of moisture
x
and oxygen.

- Turn down the regulation knob of the pressure
regulator (in an anti-clockwise direction).
- Repeat the 4 operations above 3 times.
- Repeat this procedure (3 times) for the "low" flow
range.
code YL013700
I. DESCRIPTION AND FITTING
Open the bottle tap and
check that the high
pressure manometer
needle remains stable,
then close the bottle
tap.
Set the pressure to at
least 5 bar by turning
the regulation knob of
the pressure regulator
in a clockwise direc-
tion. Set the alarm
trigger on the unit to
the same value.
Connect the electrical
power supply to the unit
(lock it with the fixation
system provided) and
the mains socket.
Switch on the power
supply to the OPTI-NO
by placing the unit mode
selector switch in the
"continuous" position
(green and yellow LED's
lit) and the flow selector
in the "high" range.
Let the gas escape until
the high and low pres-
sure manometers both
read 0.
- Check that the audi-
ble alarm (Beep) and
visual alarm (red LED)
are tripped.
Version 3.0 12/2001.

4. Operating modes

The OPTI-NO can operate in two modes: continuous
mode or sequential mode.
In the sequential mode (e.g. HORUS type ventilator),
the administration of the NO is synchronised with the
inspiratory phase. This mode allows the NO
consumption to be reduced whilst preserving the
environment.
It also provides an even dosage (no accumulation of
NO in the inspiratory line during the expiratory phase).
Use in continuous mode relates more particularly to
the indications in neo-natal medecine (continuous
flow ventilator or High Frequency Oscillations).
Other prescriptions for this mode are left to the doctor
to decide.
Note:
Use in continuous mode:
- may be a vector of atmospheric pollution,
- favours the accumulation of NO/N
arm.

5. Determining the settings

5.1 Using the dosage rule (250 or 500 ppm NO/N
mixtures)
Depending on the prescription, the rule can be used
to display the flow range (low or high) and pressure
values.
Align the minute volume* (V) and insufflation time
(% of I+E) values with the sliding central rule. For use
in continuous mode, align the continuous minute
volume.
Then position the cursor to the desired NO dosage,
depending on the concentration of the bottle used.
250 OR 500 PPM
* In case of permanent continuous flow ventilator ("flow-by"), this
continuous flow must be taken into account for the settings (V).
