Emptying the water trap<br />
Empty the water trap as described below.<br />
CAUTION<br />
The Water Trap must be drained at intervals. If the ventilator is operating, leave a small amount of<br />
water at the bottom of the Water Trap container to act as a flow and pressure seal between the<br />
ventilator and the output of the drain.<br />
Open the stopcock on the bottom of the water trap to drain. The contents of the water trap should be<br />
emptied into a disposable cup or a container which can be subsequently disinfected.<br />
When the Model <strong>3100B</strong> is not operational, the Water Trap container can be completely emptied.<br />
CAUTION<br />
Ensure that the stopcock is closed prior to performing a Patient Circuit Calibration. If the Water Trap<br />
Stopcock is left open, Patient Circuit Calibration (39–43 cm H20) may not be achievable, and the<br />
deliverable Pa will be reduced.<br />
Changing the Gas Inlet Filter<br />
The 0.1 micron Inlet Filter Cartridges are located at the O2 Inlet fitting and the Air Cooling Inlet fitting to<br />
capture any dirt particles or moisture before entry into the Model <strong>3100B</strong> <strong>HFOV</strong>.<br />
CAUTION<br />
The Inlet Filter Cartridges for the blended gas and the air inputs to the ventilator must be replaced at<br />
least every 500 hours of operation as described in this chapter. Failure to replace a Filter Cartridge or<br />
substitution of an unauthorized cartridge could result in injury to the patient and/or damage to the<br />
equipment. Use only <strong>CareFusion</strong> cartridges (P/N 767163 box of 10).<br />
The recommended minimum change interval is every 500 hours of operation. However, the level of<br />
contaminants in the gas lines of your hospital may require more frequent changes. If the Model <strong>3100B</strong><br />
<strong>HFOV</strong> is used for the first time at a new location within your hospital, the Filter Cartridges should be<br />
checked for contaminants after 100 hours of operation, and then after 300 hours of operation, to<br />
determine whether or not a 500 hours of operation change interval is sufficient.<br />
A Filter Cartridge which has been allowed to accumulate flow limiting contaminants will cause the gas<br />
supply pressure at the inlet to drop. Eventually, the Source Gas Low alarm will trigger. Refer to Chapter<br />
5 for a description of this alarm.<br />
