Several monitoring parameters can be obtained from the ventilator or
the airway module. Information retrieved from the airway module is
identified with the module data indicator.
Figure 6-5 • Airway module data indicator
Set the Data Source to Patient or Vent to select the primary source
for information. If Patient is selected, the airway module will be the
first source for information. If Vent is selected, the internal sensors of
the ventilator will be the first source for information.
When using the Airway Gas Option, only Vent is available for the
Data Source.
When setting the airway module as the data source, make sure that
™
a D-lite or Pedi-lite sensor is properly connected on the airway
module. If the sensor is not properly connected, but the airway
module is installed, the waveform shows no flow. The gas monitor
samples and displays room air.
If information is not available through the airway module, information
comes from the internal ventilator sensors.
