Using soda lime
Soda lime should not escape from the disposable CO
when it is not damaged and used in accordance with its intended
purpose.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
Do not use with trichloroethylene or chloroform because
chemical reactions produce toxic products.
CAUTION
If soda lime has escaped, e. g. when the disposable CO
absorber is damaged:
–
Do not inhale or swallow powdered soda lime.
–
Wear protective gloves and goggles, or a face mask.
–
If soda lime enters the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of
water and seek medical advice immediately to prevent eye
injuries.
–
Powdered soda lime on the skin must be washed off
immediately as it can irritate the skin.
Intended use
The CLIC adapter is used to connect the disposable CO
CLIC Absorber 800+.
The disposable CO
absorber CLIC Absorber 800+ is designed to
2
absorb carbon dioxide from the breathing systems of Dräger
anesthesia workstations.
To be used with the volatile anesthetic agents halothane,
enflurane, isoflurane, sevoflurane, desflurane, and nitrous oxide
(N
O).
2
The disposable CO
absorber can be replaced during operation.
2
A valve in the CLIC adapter tightly seals the breathing system
when the disposable CO
absorber swings open. Ventilation can
2
be continued without impairment.
Application
The disposable CO
absorber can be used with the following
2
Dräger anesthesia workstations:
–
Perseus A500
–
Apollo
–
Fabius OS, Fabius GS, Fabius GS premium, Fabius Tiro,
Fabius MRI
–
Narkomed 6000 SW from 7.20
–
Julian
Preparation
CLIC adapters are available for the devices listed under
"Application". The appropriate CLIC adapter must be installed by
qualified experts, e. g. DrägerService.
Before switching on the anesthesia workstation, click the
disposable CO
absorber into place. The disposable CO
2
absorber is thus included in the leakage or compliance test of
the device.
Instructions for use CLIC Absorber 800+ / Infinity ID CLIC Absorber 800+ / CLIC Adapter
Installing the CLIC adapter
absorber
2
Insert the CLIC adapter into the breathing system from below
2
and turn it to the right as far as possible. The unlocking button
(A) must face forward and be visible to the user.
Operation
To ensure optimal CO
moisture content.
CAUTION
When the disposable CO
transport, during storage, or when it is in standby mode, the
sealing cap must be mounted to the disposable CO
absorber
2
When the soda lime dries out, its performance is reduced.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
Do not flush disposable CO
more than necessary during operation.
The soda lime will dehydrate. If the humidity falls below a
minimum level, undesirable reactions can occur,
independent of the type of soda lime and the volatile
anesthetic agent used: formation of CO, absorption and/or
decomposition of the volatile anesthetic agent, reduced
CO
absorption, increased heat build-up in the CO
2
absorber and consequently increased breathing gas
temperature. These reactions can endanger the patient
through CO intoxication, inadequate anesthesia, and burns
in the airways.
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
Note when treating neonates and infants (only applies to
Narkomed 6000 and Julian):
The compliance of the breathing system is reduced when
the disposable CO
ventilator delivers a higher tidal volume to the patient
during IPPV/SIMV, and the airway pressure increases
accordingly. The effect on the tidal volume and airway
pressure is negligible when treating adults with a lung
compliance of approx. 50 mL/hPa (50 mL/mbar).
When treating neonates and infants with a lung compliance
of approx. 5 mL/hPa (5 mL/mbar) and less, the tidal volume
2
and airway pressure can increase considerably and harm
the patient if the disposable CO
during IPPV/SIMV.
Before removing the disposable CO
Set Pmax to the plateau pressure.
As soon as the absorber has been replaced:
Reset Pmax to the original value.
