HAMILTON G5 S1 - Circuit Setup Coaxial Adult Pediatric Reference Card - Quick Guide - en - ELO2020 113.TW.00

The document provides setup instructions for a coaxial breathing circuit for adult and pediatric patients, detailing the installation of the expiratory valve, connection of the flow sensor, and integration of a CO2 sensor. It emphasizes the importance of proper positioning to prevent kinks and stress on the tubing, and includes calibration steps for the sensors. Additionally, it advises on the use of a bacterial/viral filter with a heat and moisture exchanger to avoid contamination.

System > Sensors on/off window.
Positioning the breathing circuit

Follow these guidelines for positioning the assembled breathing


circuit:
• After assembly, position the breathing circuit so that the limbs/
tubing will not be pushed, pulled, or kinked as a result of a
patient‘s movement, transport, or other activities, including
scanner bed operation and nebulization.
• Position the ventilator, including the patient support arm, well
back from the breathing circuit Y-piece.
• Position the flow sensor upright, with the patient end facing
downward (see below).
Ideally, the flow sensor should be at a ≥ 45° angle relative to the
floor.
• Ensure there is no undue stress placed on any tubing or cables.
