Notes provide clarication or supplemental information.
Integrated Pneumatic Backup
• The integrated pneumatic backup is intended for short term use when the electronic
delivery system fails until a replacement NO delivery device can be brought to the
bedside.
• The integrated pneumatic backup delivers a variable concentration of NO to the
patient depending on the ventilator ow being used.
• When using the integrated pneumatic backup with breathing circuit gas ows of
5 L/min, the delivered NO dose will be approximately 40 ppm. Breathing circuit gas
ows less than 5 L/min will deliver an NO dose greater than 40 ppm.
• The integrated pneumatic backup (250 mL/min.) should not be used with the
Bunnell Life Pulse as ventilator ow rates are normally below the recommended
ventilator ows.
Changing Cylinders
• Always secure a cylinder when not using it.
• Never lift a cylinder by its valve or valve protection cap or by using a chain, sling or
magnet.
• Never drop a cylinder.
• Never use a hammer, pry or wedge to loosen a valve or protection cap. The valve
and protection cap should operate by hand.
• Never let oil, grease or other combustible come in contact with a cylinder or valve.
• Never remove or deface cylinder labeling or markings.
• Never modify equipment without rst contacting the manufacturer.
• Never use an adaptor to connect a cylinder to the system.
• Never use equipment not designed to use INOMAX mixtures.
• Never attempt to repair a leak on a cylinder valve or its safety relief device.
• Never operate equipment that is leaking.
• Never ship a leaking cylinder.
• Never store cylinders;
- Where damage can result from the elements, such as standing water or
temperatures over 125 degrees F.
- Where they can experience extreme low temperatures.
- Where they can contact corrosive substances.
- Where they can be cut or abraded by an object.
- Next to a walkway, elevator or platform edge.
- Unless they are properly secured.

WARNING:
High Frequency Oscillatory and Jet Ventilator Circuits
• Some high frequency ventilator circuits require a one-way valve to prevent high
NO delivery.
• Place the Bunnell Life Pulse in Standby prior to suctioning the patient to avoid
NO delivery transiently exceeding the set dose by up to 30 ppm. Press ENTER to
reestablish ventilation as soon as the catheter is removed from the airway. This
will limit the extent of over delivery above the NO set dose.
• Do not use dose settings above 40 ppm with the Acutronics Fabian HFO
ventilator. Bidirectional ow through the Injector Module may cause over-delivery
which can lead to measured NO values greater than 100 ppm
Maintenance
• For continued protection against hazard, replace the fuses only with the correct
fuse type and rating.
• Handle and dispose of sensors according to facility biohazard policies. Do not
incinerate.
• If the Injector Module has been used in the wet/humidied part of the breathing
circuit, it should be sterilized between each patient use.
• INOmax DS
- 4 kV input to output isolation
- 4 kV input to mains isolation, and
- an internal “reference voltage” “U” (as dened in section 20.3 of IEC60601-
1 ed. 2) of less than or equal to 50 VDC or 50 VRMS and dielectric isolation
certied in accordance with IEC 60601-1. Interface cabling must not go outside of
the room (e.g., into walls where potential isolation issues could exist). Adherence
to the above provides compliance to clause 20.3 “Value of test Voltage” in edition
2 and clause(s) 8.5.4 “Working Voltage” and Clause 8.8.3 “Dielectric Strength" in
edition 3.
• RS232 cable must be shielded. The RS232 cable shield shall have a minimum
of 90% coverage. The shield shall only be connected at one end of the cable to
minimize noise induced by ground currents.

Manually Bagging a Patient with an Injector Module
• The hyperination bag will, under some conditions, contain NO
one ppm. Use of large tidal volume breaths may expose the patients to the NO
present in the bag for part of the breath. In general, if the inspiratory ow rate
induced by the manual ventilation does not exceed the fresh gas ow rate,
the patient should not be exposed to the concentrations of NO
hyperination bag.
• Adult and infant hyperination bags generate more NO
minute ventilation. If use of the bag is interrupted (for example to adjust the
tracheal tube), before resuming ventilation of the patient, the user should squeeze
the bag several times to empty residual gas from the bag.
• Because of the potential for inhalation of excessive concentrations of NO
the difculty in monitoring the peak inhaled NO
a hyperination bag or self-inating bag is intended only for short term use.
• The monitoring system within the INOmax DS

WARNING:
Manually Bagging a Patient with an Injector Module continued
• To minimize the delivered concentration of NO2, the following steps should be
taken for use with the manual resuscitator bags:
- Concentrations greater than 20 ppm NO should not be used because of
excessive NO
generation.
2
- Use the smallest bag adequate to deliver the desired tidal volume.
- Oxygen tubing lengths greater than 72 inches should not be used (between the
injector module and the bag).
- Use the highest fresh gas ow rate (up to 15 L/min) that is practical.
- Use the lowest practical inspired oxygen concentration.
- After starting fresh gas ow, squeeze the bag several times to empty residual
gas in the bag prior to using the system to ventilate a patient.
Manually Bagging a Patient with the INOblender
•
The purge procedure must be followed to help ensure NO
system before the manual resuscitator bag is connected to the patient.
•
The manual bag should be squeezed repeatedly during use to avoid NO
up in the bag.
•
If the bag is not squeezed repeatedly while delivering INOMAX, the bag should
be removed from the patient and the bag purge procedure performed before
continuing.
•
The INOblender should be upright when setting the oxygen owrate for accurate
setting.
•
Do not use pneumatically powered nebulizers with the INOblender. This will result
in signicant over delivery of INOMAX in excess of 80 parts per million (ppm).
- The INOblender outlet pressure has been validated for use up to 400 millibar (5.8
psig) pressure. The amount of back-pressure generated by pneumatic nebulizers
is signicantly greater (20-30 psig) and will result in over delivery of INOMAX
in excess of 80 ppm. The user adjusted dose setting on the INOblender will not
correlate with, or have an effect on the actual delivered dose.
- In addition, the INOblender owmeter is not back-pressure compensated and will
display a lower ow rate than actual when pressure is applied to the outlet.

WARNING:
Ventilators and Breathing Devices
• The INOmax DSIR subtracts gas from the breathing circuit via the gas sampling
system at 230 mL per minute which can cause the ventilator to auto-trigger.
Adjusting the ow sensitivity may be necessary. The trigger sensitivity of the
ventilator should be checked after connecting the INOmax DS
circuit.
• Set the INOmax DS
alarm thresholds for the current patient conditions to
IR
monitor any inadvertent changes in treatment.
• Be certain all cables and hoses are positioned to help prevent damaging or
occluding them.
• The use of pediatric and neonatal ventilator settings with adult size breathing
circuits can result in high levels of NO
. Always use the size of breathing circuit
2
that is appropriate for the patient.
• The humidier chamber volume should not be more than 480 mL to prevent
elevated NO
values.
2
• When handling any component of the patient circuit that comes in contact with
patient’s uids wear personal protective equipment (PPE).
• Patient disconnect and high pressure alarms are required for the ventilator.
• Patient circuit pressure and gas loss will result if cap is not in place (secured).
• Use only “Latex-Free” breathing circuits and ventilators when using the
INOmax DS
• If the INOmax DS
.
IR
is to be used in a transport vehicle, it should be afxed to the
IR
transport mounting post.
• Avoid recirculation of gases. Undesired recirculation of gases will occur if fresh
gas ows are less than the patient minute volume and may result in:
- Higher NO
remove NO
levels due to the limited ability of the carbon dioxide absorbent to

The INOmeter uses a lower energy source which results in a lower IR beam range than the INOmax DS
The INOmeter does not transmit IR signals unless it is mounted on the INOmax DS
Caution:
A strong magnetic eld could affect the ability of the INOmeter to detect if the cylinder valve is
opened or closed. This may affect the ability of the INOmax DS
or closed) of the cylinder valve.
If there is interference with the INOmax DS
will not be displayed and a “Cylinder Not Detected” alarm will activate if there is a set INOMAX dose.
If IR communication interference occurs, we recommend taking the following actions:
• Move the external IR source
• Move the INOmax DS
cart to reduce the external IR source in the area of the INOmeter
IR
• Shield the INOmeter from the suspect IR source
If the actions listed above do not remedy this issue, the transport regulator/cap assembly (PN 10022) may
be utilized.

External Light Interference
Caution:
High frequency and/or high intensity light emission, in the area of the INOmeter, may interfere
with communication between the INOmax DS
and the INOmeter on the INOMAX cylinder.

If there is interference with the INOmax DSIR/INOmeter communication, the cylinder icon on the user screen
will not be displayed and a “Cylinder Not Detected” alarm will activate if there is a set INOMAX dose.
Test results have demonstrated susceptibility to unintended infrared energy from articial light sources. Most
notably, various compact uorescent lighting xtures that focus or reect light, increasing the light intensity in
the vicinity of the INOmax DS
cart, could affect INOmeter communications.

If external light interference occurs, we recommend taking the following actions:
• Move the interfering light source
• Move the INOmax DS
cart to reduce the high intensity light in the area of the INOmeter

INOmeter Operation
•
Removal of the INOmeter from the cylinder must be performed by authorized personnel. Do not
dispose of the INOmeter.
•
INOmeter battery replacement is only to be performed by authorized personnel.
•
The INOmeter replaces the standard rubberized cylinder valve handle on the INOMAX cylinders and
is used to open and close the cylinder valve. The INOmeter is a time-metric device which records the
amount of time the INOMAX cylinder valve is opened.
•
The INOmeter is designed for use with INOMAX cylinders and with the INOvent, INOmax DS and
INOmax DS
•
