Set desired inspiratory flow rate - a good starting flow is between 10 to 25 L/min. Adjust
as needed. See ENTRAINED FLOW CHART for "Total delivered flow" requirements.
Note: Perform a FUNCTIONAL CHECK by occluding patient port with supply gas
flowing and verify that pressure DOES NOT EXCEED 60 cm-H
4.
Verify PIP pressure at approximately 25 cm-H
pre-set). Adjust PRESSURE DIAL to achieve desired peak
pressure.
Note: Indicated pressures are approximate and may vary
depending on conditions and settings. Verify with a
manometer.
Note: For use with a mask, clear mouth and airway of
visible foreign bodies and use accepted techniques
to ensure correct position of airway. Hold mask firmly
against face ensuring a tight seal while positioning the
head to maintain an open airway. When using an endotracheal tube, connect patient
adaptor directly to endotracheal tube.
Note: It is very important to be trained in the correct application of the face mask before any
attempt is made to use the GO
cause loss of pressure and cause the device to not cycle.
Note: PEEP is about 1/5
of PIP. Indicated pressures are

approximate and depend on conditions and settings.
Verify with a manometer by connecting between modulator and patient connector.
I-time is counted off manually (1-1000, 2-1000, ...) or with a watch.

Note: If patient vomits, disconnect patient adaptor from modulator and remove rate dial if
necessary. Tap out vomitus on hard surface to dislodge and reassemble.

Clear patient's airway and reconnect. Clearing procedure should take less than 20

Note: Changes in patient's lung compliance will result in respiratory rate changes.
In such an event, make appropriate clinical changes.
Note: If patient draws air through entrainment port or device is set to FiO
concentration delivered to patient may differ from concentration at gas inlet of patient
connector.
Note: Gas supply source must be capable of delivering up to 40 L/min. Typical required
supply pressure is 50 ± 5 PSIG.
Note: The GO

way counterclockwise and is supplied with oxygen flow from 6 to 15 L/min with
resulting output flow of 20 to 40 L/min respectively (see "ENTRAINED FLOW

The GO
VENT provides constant flow, pressure cycled ventilatory support in either pressure control
2
or pressure support modes on patients weighing 10kg and above. The device includes the pulmonary
modulator (an exhalation valve that opens at PIP and closes at PEEP) and a patient connector tee
to supply gas flow, entrain additional air, and provides a redundant pop-off valve for safety. The
working mechanism of the GO
spring force when it is moved from a horizontal to a vertical position, the addition or subtraction of
spring force will affect the PIP setting by 1~3 cm-H
