ResMed 150 Ventilation Hood User Manual


 
Optimal accuracy and synchrony
Learn Circuit: at the push of a button the
device initiates this inbuilt test
to measure and compensate for changes
in circuit impedance (caused by the use
of anti-bacterial filters, humidifiers and
other accessories).
Pathology Defaults: a choice of
disease-specific preset values, based
on commonly-used clinical values
for obstructive, restrictive, obesity
hypoventilation and normal lung
mechanics. Advanced settings are
optimised so medical staff can focus
on fine-tuning primary settings for
each patient.
Mask selection and fitting: selecting the
correct mask in the user menu enables
the device to compensate for differences
in mask vent flow and impedance. This
optimises patient comfort and patient–
ventilator synchrony. The Mask Fit feature
delivers flow before therapy begins, to
test for excessive mask leak; it helps
achieve the best fit for the patient without
over-tightening the mask.
Data and monitoring
Real-time monitoring on the LCD:
the Monitoring Menu provides essential
data, including simultaneously-viewed
flow and pressure curves, the Ti-bar graph
to fine-tune ventilation, and SpO
2
and
FiO
2
monitoring.
Real-time remote monitoring:
EasyCare Tx software connects to
Stellar 150 via the Tx Link, offering
real-time remote titration, where settings
can be changed remotely.
Summary data and reminders on the
LCD: the Info Menu provides a snapshot
of therapy information for seven sessions
at a time, with easy scrolling for up to 365
sessions. It also provides patient reminders
like filter and mask replacements.
Downloadable data: the device stores
usage and summary data for up to 365
treatment sessions and seven days of
high-resolution, breath-by-breath data
(including SpO
2
and FiO
2
); this can be
downloaded via USB or cable, using
ResScan™ software.
The Event Summary screen provides
a quick overview of the main events,
such as setting changes and alarms
The Synchronisation screen displays
spontaneous verses machine-triggered/
cycled breaths
Live comprehensive monitoring
information at your fingertips
iVAPS mode targets alveolar ventilation
and the patient’s respiratory rate for
efficacy, synchrony and comfort
