Operating; Technical Information - SedanaMedical AnaConDa Mode D'emploi

When a side stream gas monitor is used:
• Remove the red cap on the AnaConDa (3)
• Connect the gas monitor sampling line (4) to the gas monitor (5) and to the AnaConDa gas
monitor sampling port (6).To reduce the amount of humidity in the line and water trap a nafion
dryer tubing can be attached between the AnaConDa and the gas sampling line
When a main stream gas monitor is used:
• Remove the red cap on the AnaConDa
• Connect the required airway adapter between the AnaConDa and the patient. Remove the flag
from the monitor port and close the monitor port with the closure
• Connect the AnaConDa between the endotracheal tube and the Y-piece of the ventilator
breathing circuits
• Position the AnaConDa as indicated in fig 1 with the gas monitor sampling port directed towards
the patient
• Position the AnaConDa patient side connector lower than the machine side (as per angle in fig 1)
to avoid accumulation of condensate and with black face uppermost
• Set the gas monitor for the anaesthetic agent used
• Wait for the calibration of the gas monitor to be performed
• Set appropriate alarm limits on the gas monitor
• Connect the agent supply line of the AnaConDa to the syringe and ensure it is secure

6. OPERATING

6.1 Priming the agent line
• Administer a bolus of 1,2 ml when initially connecting AnaConDa. If necessary, give a bolus of
0.3 ml. Never give manual bolus.
• Stop the syringe pump and wait until the gas monitor displays a CO
• Set the clinical dosage
• Start the syringe pump (check point 6.2 below)
6.2 Dosing the Anaesthetic agent
All dosing is individual and guided by experienced clinical evaluation and reading of the Fet value
on the gas monitor. There is a higher patient uptake of the volatile during the first 10-30 minutes
(Induction Phase) of administration and therefore corrections of the pump rate need to be made
according to the measured end tidal concentration (Fet) and the clinical needs of the patient.
Isoflurane is approximately twice as potent as sevoflurane.
The following rates are typical for the initial syringe pump rate of Isoflurane and Sevoflurane
– Isoflurane: 3 ml/h – Sevoflurane: 5 ml/h
The syringe pump rate necessary to reach a certain patient concentration depends on the
minute volume and the targeted patent concentration.
Volatile Agent Expected Pump Rates
Isoflurane
Sevoflurane
If a rapid increase of the concentration is deemed necessary, a bolus of 0.3 ml liquid agent may be
given.
At higher Fet values and/or high tidal volumes and / or high respiratory rates, the AnaConDa is less
efficient. Therefore relatively more anaesthetic, and thus a higher pump rate is needed to keep the
concentration stable.
6.3 Changing concentration
Any change in concentration must be titrated to the desired Fet value by changing the pump rate and
closely monitoring the Fet value on the gas monitor. The Fet value should be verified following any
change to the ventilator parameters.
If there is a clinical need for decreasing the Fet concentration quickly then remove the AnaConDa
from the patient. Always verify any new concentration on the gas monitor.
6.4 Ending the Therapy
Immediate Cessation
1. Stop the syringe pump. The concentration will decrease rapidly
2. Disconnect the agent supply line from the AnaConDa Syringe
3. Seal the syringe with the syringe closure
4. Disconnect the gas monitor from the AnaConDa. Close the gas monitor port with the gas sam-
pling port closure
5. Remove the AnaConDa from the patient. Disconnect from the Y-piece first
6. Consider replacing the AnaConDa with a Bacterial-/Viral filter with heat and moisture exchanger
7. Close the AnaConDa (Ventilator side) connector with the red sealing cap and dispose of it accor-
ding to hospital protocol
Short Weaning Process
1. Stop the syringe pump and leave the AnaConDa in place
2. The concentration will gradually decrease
3. As the Fet value approaches 0% follow the above steps (1-7) under 'Immediate Cessation'
Prolonged Weaning
1. In the case of prolonged weaning reduce the pump rate in steps over several hours
2. The concentration will decrease
3. When it has reached a concentration level of almost 0% Fet value, follow the above steps (1-7)
under 'Immediate Cessation'
6.5 Changing the AnaConDa
• Prepare a new AnaConDa, and a new filled syringe if needed (as per 5.1)
• Stop the syringe pump.
• Disconnect the agent supply line from the AnaConDa syringe and close the syringe with the
syringe closure cap.
• Disconnect the gas monitor line from the AnaConDa, and close the gas sampling port with the
gas sampling port closure.
• Take out the used AnaConDa. Disconnect from the Y-piece first
• Connect the gas sampling line
• Insert the new AnaConDa by connecting to the ET-tube first and then the Y-piece
• Connect the agent line to the syringe in the syringe pump

AnaConDa (Anaesthetic Conserving Device)
• Prime the agent line as in 6.1 with 1,2 ml
• Start the syringe pump with the same rate as before
• Check the Fet value
6.6 Changing the AnaConDa Syringe
• Stop the syringe pump
• Disconnect the agent supply line from the syringe and close the syringe with the syringe closure
cap
• Remove the empty syringe from the syringe pump
• Place the new AnaConDa Syringe in the syringe pump. For filling see 4.1.
• Connect the agent supply line to the syringe
• Start the syringe pump with the same rate as before
• Do not prime the agent line unless the AnaConDa has been replaced by a new one also
• Check the Fet value
7. CONNECTING A NEBULISER TO THE ANACONDA SYSTEM
It is possible to use a jet nebuliser or ultrasonic nebuliser with the AnaConDa system. The nebuliser
should be connected between the patient intubation tube and the AnaConDa. Ultrasonic nebulisers
are preferable as they do not add extra airflow. If a jet nebuliser is connected it may be necessary
to increase the syringe pump rate, to compensate for the extra flow from the nebuliser. When
connecting a nebulizer set the ventilator on stand-by or hold an expiratory pause on the ventilator.
WARNING! Repeated nebulisations may increase the flow resistance of the AnaConDa.
Pay attention to signs of occlusions.
NOTE! Always consider the increased dead space when connecting extra items.
8. SUCTIONING
• Using a closed suction system or using a swivel connector with suction port is preferable
• Hold pause on the ventilator if disconnecting AnaConDa from the ET-tube during the procedure.
When disconnecting, remove the AnaConDa from the Y-piece first and when attaching, attach
the AnaConDa to the ET-tube first
It is important to be aware that Polycarbonate based components if used in the
patient breathing circuit may become degraded or undergo stress cracking in
the presence of the anaesthetic gasses Isoflurane or Sevoflurane.
9. DISPOSAL
Dispose of the AnaConDa and the sealed syringe according to hospital protocols.
