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 />
