30 <strong>3100B</strong> <strong>HFOV</strong><br />
CAUTION<br />
To help prevent patient injury due to humidifier malfunction, the use of a humidifier with the following<br />
characteristics is strongly recommended:<br />
a. Thermally protected heater.<br />
b. Alarms on overfilled water reservoir.<br />
c. Alarms on under filled water reservoir.<br />
d. Alarms when open or shorted temperature probe is detected.<br />
e. Alarms at probe temperatures > 41°C.<br />
f. Alarms when dislodged temperature probe is detected.<br />
The connection of the humidifier into the Model <strong>3100B</strong> <strong>HFOV</strong> System will be further described in<br />
Chapter 6, Assembly and Installation. Standard humidifier adapters are required, and two are provided<br />
for connecting the 3/8" I.D. tubing to and from the humidifier.<br />

Pneumatic Logic and Control<br />
The Blender feeds pressurized blended gas to the Model <strong>3100B</strong> Pneumatic Logic and Control<br />
Subsystem through an oxygen DISS fitting. Four pneumatic controls are part of this subsystem:<br />
Bias Flow<br />
Mean Pressure Adjust<br />
Patient Circuit<br />
Calibration Screw<br />
This control sets the flow of the blended gas that continuously moves past the patient airway.<br />
This control adjusts the Mean pressure level on which the oscillatory waveform is superimposed.<br />
This Mean pressure along with the oscillatory waveform characteristics determines the resultant<br />
Pa. This control determines the level of Patient Circuit expiratory limb Control Valve restriction<br />
in the manner described in the Patient Circuit section below.<br />
This control is a screwdriver adjustment used to set the maximum mean pressure that can be<br />
attained with a particular Patient Circuit under specified conditions (see Chapter 7, Maintenance<br />
and Troubleshooting.) This control is used only when the Patient Circuit is replaced or the Pa<br />
control valve diaphragm of the existing Patient Circuit is changed. The control is necessary<br />
because the individual elastic and dimensional characteristics of the Pa control valve<br />
diaphragm interact with the valve control line pressure to determine the control dial maximum<br />
setting.<br />
CAUTION<br />
Do not over turn the Patient Circuit Calibration as this may cause damage to the device. When it is nearing its<br />
adjustment limit, it will reach a mechanical stop.<br />
