How do I reset vapotherm?
To reset, first disconnect the unit from AC power and then press the Run/Standby Button. With the exception of O₂ sensor replacement, the unit must be repaired by an approved service facility. Cartridge and/or DPC not detected.
How often should you change the gas inlet filters for the air and oxygen?
Without adequate air intake, the fuel mixture will be too fuel-rich so won’t burn properly and the engine will be starved of the oxygen it needs. Most manufacturers recommend replacing your air filter every 12,000 miles (approximately 19,000 km) or every 12 months, whichever comes first.
What is vapotherm precision flow?
Vapotherm Precision Flow features The Precision Flow Plus is a High flow system that offers humidified respiratory therapy. The system providing flow rates up to 40 LPM for adults and 8LPM for infant. The humidifier provides blended oxygen that is heated and humidified for maximum patient comfort and compliance.
What are the settings for vapotherm?
While clinicians should titrate flow to clinical effect, Vapotherm high velocity therapy generally achieves clinical efficacy between 25-35 LPM in adults, 6-8 LPM[4,5,6] in neonates, and for pediatric patients it is recommended to set the flow at 1.5-2LPM per kilogram of bodyweight, up to 8kg.
What is the difference between BiPAP and vapotherm?
Vapotherm high velocity therapy is Mask-Free NIV® for spontaneously breathing patients and as such a viable alternative to NiPPV (e.g. BiPAP®). Unlike pressure-based respiratory support modalities, it achieves oxygenation and ventilatory support through a high velocity flush of the patient’s end-expiratory gas.
Is vapotherm the same as high flow?
Vapotherm high velocity therapy often gets conflated with commodity high flow oxygen products, also commonly known as High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC).
How do you explain Vapotherm?
Background: Vapotherm 2000i is a non-invasive high-flow respiratory support system used mainly in the treatment of type 1 respiratory failure. It uses a mixture of oxygen and air to deliver a set concentration via nasal cannula (or tracheostomy mask).
Is vapotherm the same as CPAP?
Vapotherm high velocity therapy has been clinically proven as a mask-free and seal-free alternative to CPAP for both, primary respiratory support for RDS and post-extubation support.
How does the Vapotherm precision flow system work?
The Vapotherm Precision Flow®is intended to heat and humidify patient respiratory gases from a source of compressed air and oxygen gases. Warm, humidified gas is delivered from the Vapotherm Precision Flow®to the patient via a proprietary tube-set and disposable water path that is attached to a nasal cannula or mask at the patient.
Is there a Technical Service Manual for Vapotherm?
Technical Service Manual This document contains proprietary information to Vapotherm Corporation, and its receipt or possession does not convey any rights to reproduce its content, or to manufacture or sell any product described.
How is warm humidified gas delivered by Vapotherm?
Warm, humidified gas is delivered from the Vapotherm Precision Flow®to the patient via a proprietary tube-set and disposable water path that is attached to a nasal cannula or mask at the patient. The user can set the oxygen percentage, temperature, and flow rate of the delivered gas.
How does a Vapotherm vapor transfer cartridge work?
The vapor transfer cartridge is designed to receive the unconditioned breathing gas and add warm water vapor to it. Two separate pathways, one for the breathing gas and the other for the water, intersect when fibers of a special membrane material allow water vapor to pass from the outside of the fiber into the gas stream.
