Maintenance MONSOON is a Universal Jet ventilator classified as device group IIb according to European di- rective. 1.) The apparatus must be safety inspected and serviced at regular 6 months intervals in compliance with the manufacturer instructions as well as §6 MPBetreibV Medical Devices Opera- tor Ordinance dated 6/29/1998.
Any and all liability for the proper function of the apparatus is irrevocably transferred to the owner or operator if the apparatus has been serviced or repaired by personnel not associated with ACUTRONIC Medical Systems AG Service or if the apparatus was used in a manner not conforming to its intended use.
Jet, suspending Jet ventilation is therefore no longer required. Always monitor the CO values when using artificial ventilation. This may be done using a CO module for the MONSOON sold separately, a capnograph or transcutaneous CO measurement.
Laser procedures may therefore only be performed together with the Jet catheter “Laserjet”. The MONSOON features a function specifically for laser procedures allowing the user to set the oxy- Laser gen concentration to be administered during a laser procedure.
If the life support function can no longer be ensured due to an obvious ventilator defect, immediately provide artificial ventilation to the patient via a self-contained ventilator (e.g. resuscitation bag). Instructions for use MONSOON 5.6e 1 1 / 6 1...

PP Limit (Pause Pressure) “Start / stop” The PP alarm is activated as soon as the MONSOON is in automatic mode and the has been pressed. The pause pressure corresponds to the pressure inside the Jet lead and is measured a few millisec- onds prior to engaging the main valve.
4. Connect patient tube to the port at the front of the apparatus labelled JET. 5. Connect pressure sensing line to the port labelled accordingly. Acutronic recommends using the separate pressure sensing line, if possible. This eliminates the risk of pneu- mothorax.
Once the test lung is released ventilation will continue and the audible alarm will mute. If using a Double Jet the second Jet must be tested by repeating steps 1 through 10. Instructions for use MONSOON 5.6e 20/09/2010 2 2 / 6 1...
Using the MONSOON with Single Lumen Catheter Caution: Limited space may not always allow the use of a Jet catheter with second lumen for continuous pressure monitoring or capnography. For this reason the MON- SOON features a built-in pause pressure monitor.

This meth- od allows superimposed Jet ventilation to be im- plemented. The SIPL is only available on the MONSOON+ in Settings IPS mode (see: The SIPL limit must be set to below the PP limit or ventilation will be interrupted in response to the PP limit.
MONSOON Basic features a constant flow of 15 lpm. MONSOON+ features a flow range of 0 - 70 lpm, which can be adjusted in 5lpm increments. In Double-Jet mode the bypass must be adjusted through the menu.
The drip chamber should be filled 1/3 of the way with water. Now connect the set to the Luer-Lock connection at the front of the MONSOON. Attach drop counter to the drip chamber (white ring inside sensor slot) and plug into the rear of the MONSOON (marked “Counter”).
Risk of scalding during dehumidification! After confirming dehumidification will start and automatically stop once the residual water has been removed from the system. This process takes up to 1 minute. Instructions for use MONSOON 5.6e 20/09/2010 2 8 / 6 1...
