FOR YOUR SAFETY AND THAT OF YOUR PATIENTS
Read Instructions for Use
Any use of this apparatus requires full understanding and strict observation of these instructions for
use.
This apparatus is only to be used for purposes specified here.
Safety Notices
Always observe
Any use of the ventilator requires full understanding and strict observation of these
instructions. The apparatus is only to be used for purposes specified here.
The ventilator is only to be operated by qualified technical staff or under their su-
pervision to immediately provide assistance in the event of malfunction.
If the new value is not confirmed by the operator by pressing the rotary pulse en-
coder or the touch monitor the value will automatically be reset after a few se-
conds.
Always have an alternate ventilation system (e.g. resuscitation bag) when using the
ventilator.
If the life support function can no longer be ensured due to an obvious ventilator
defect, immediately provide artificial ventilation to the patient via a self-contained
ventilator (e.g. resuscitation bag).
Never use the ventilator together with flammable gas or
Anaesthetics – acute fire and explosion hazard!
Do not use the ventilator in explosion-risk areas!
An audible sound indicates a system or patient alert and always requires action by
medical staff.

Instructions for use MONSOON 5.6e

An audible alarm will sound in the event of power failure. Resetting the alarm re-
quires the on/off switch to be pressed.
Never use the ventilator on patients when a fault is detected during equipment
check!
Do not connect to electrical devices not specified in this manual without consulting
the manufacturers or an expert professional.
Never cover the ventilator or position in a way which will negatively impact opera-
tion or function.
Always unplug before opening the housing!
Never use mobile phones within 10 metres of the ventilator. Mobile phones may
interfere with the performance of electromedical equipment.
Never use antistatic or electroconductive tubes.
Note: the absence of e.g. allergy stimulating or genetically harmful substances, e.g.
Phthalates, in our products ensures user safety and health.

Medical Purpose
Universal Jet ventilator is designed for use in ICU (long term applications) and in the operating theatre
for laryngoscopy, rigid bronchoscopy, microsurgeries with or without laser. The apparatus is also suit-
able for use combined with imaging procedures to minimise organ motion due to artificial ventilation.
For ICU long-term applications we recommend performing routine blood gas analyses as the applied
minute volume cannot be accurately measured with Jet ventilation and could fluctuate greatly due to
modified pulmonary compliance.
Contraindications
With respect to contraindications please note Jet ventilation shall only be used by clinical specialists
with extensive knowledge of Jet ventilation.
There are no known contraindications in the area of laryngoscopy, bronchoscopy or laser surgery. In a
few cases CO2exhalation in heavy weight patients was associated with problems during Single Jet
ventilation. In these cases Jet ventilation was temporarily suspended and conventional ventilation
used until the CO2values returned to normal. With Double Jet CO2 exhalation is supported through the
low-frequency Jet, suspending Jet ventilation is therefore no longer required. Always monitor the CO2
values when using artificial ventilation. This may be done using a CO2 module for the MONSOON sold
separately, a capnograph or transcutaneous CO2measurement.

Indications for Use
Always have a manual resuscitator ready when using a Jet ventilator in the event of insufficient CO2
elimination or insufficient oxygenation in the patient.
Oxygen saturation and CO2should be routinely monitored via capnograph and pulse oximeter or
blood gas analysis.
With long-term use of the Jet apparatus routinely check the function of the mucous membranes of the
trachea for sufficient humidification to prevent desiccation. Since the MONSOON features an efficient
heating and humidification system no problems have occurred in the field.
A large number of surgical procedures of the ventilation system are performed through the use of la-
ser. This poses a risk of flammable materials (e.g. catheter, swab, residual tissue) in the operating field
igniting, which could be further promoted by an increased concentration of oxygen.
Laser procedures may therefore only be performed together with the Jet catheter “Laserjet”.
The MONSOON features a function specifically for laser procedures allowing the user to set the oxy-
gen concentration to be administered during a laser procedure. This feature is activated with the
Laser
on/off
switch, the blender as quickly as possible regulates at the set default oxygen concentration of <
40 %Vol, the concentration cannot be increased with active laser function. Once the blender reaches
an oxygen concentration of < 40 %Vol the notification “
Laser OK
”
is displayed.
Once the laser procedure is completed or the function is deactivated the blender automatically returns
to the last O2value setting.
The notification “
Laser OK
” merely refers to having reached the default oxygen concentra-
tion in the blender. An increased oxygen concentration may still be present in the respirato-
ry tracts of the patient as the ventilation parameters or constricted respiratory tracts results
in a decreased depletion of the oxygen.

Ventilation Modes
The Single Jet version features one port, the Double Jet features two ports for Jet ventilation. The fre-
quency, inspiration time and emission pressure are adjustable.
The apparatus further features an outlet for a so-called AUX-Flow, which may be used for patient pre-
oxygenation or emergency ventilation.
Only use this apparatus under the supervision of trained medical staff to provide immedi-
ate assistance in the event of a malfunction.
Never use the apparatus with flammable gasses or anaesthetics, fire hazard!
Never use mobile phones within 10 metres of the apparatus!
Mobile phones may interfere with the function of electromedical apparatuses.
Also Note:
Availability of manual ventilation
If the life support function can no longer be ensured due to an obvious ventilator defect, immediately
provide artificial ventilation to the patient via a self-contained ventilator (e.g. resuscitation bag).

PRESSURE LIMITS
PIP Limit (Respiratory Tract Pressure)
This limit can only be used with a separate measuring lead (proximal lead). The control panel displays
the current patient respiratory tract pressure in graphics and numbers. This allows ventilation patterns
to easily be recognised.
The display is automatically gauged based on the PIP alarm settings. If the pressure exceeds the de-
fined limit the main valve shuts off and an alarm notification appears on the display. The valve will only
be reactivated once the pressure has fallen to 40% of the limit. The audible alarm is automatically reset
once the main valve is cleared.
In graphics this PIP limit is displayed as a broken line!
PP Limit (Pause Pressure)
The PP alarm is activated as soon as the MONSOON is in automatic mode and the
“Start / stop”
key
has been pressed.
The pause pressure corresponds to the pressure inside the Jet lead and is measured a few millisec-
onds prior to engaging the main valve. The current patient respiratory tract pressure is indicated nu-
merically on the control panel. This method allows the residual pressure inside the lead to be meas-
ured. If the value exceeds the limit the valve can only be activated once the pressure inside the lead
falls to 20% of the limit. The audible alarm is automatically reset once the main valve is cleared.
Superimposed Pressure Limit (Superimposed Ventilation)
The SIPL limit works similar to the PIP limit, but will only disable the Jet valve 1 while the value exceeds
the limit, without triggering an alarm. This method allows the use of superimposed Jet ventilation.
Setting the SIPL limit below 10mbar will disable this limit.
The SIPL limit must be set to below the PP limit or ventilation will be interrupted due
to responding to the PP limit.
The SIPL is further automatically limited by the PIP.
The following formula applies: SIPLmax = PIP Ist - 5mbar
In graphics the PIP limit is displayed as a broken line!
