Intended UseThe Dräger minute Volumeter 3000shows the patient's respiratory minutevolume and tidal volume independentot the gas composition, and it therebyappreciably simplities the determina­tion ot respiratory values needed tortherecord.

Application ot Volumeter 3000• In assisted or controlled ventilation;• During anaesthesia;

• In the determination ot vita I capacity;• To check spontaneous respiration

(e. g. during postoperative recovery).

No heating is required tor the Volume­ter 3000.

It is resistant to corrosion in respect tothe usual inhalation anaesthetics (e. g.Halothane, Entlurane, or Methoxy­tlurane).

Technical Data

ApprovalsThe Volumeter 3000 is exclusivelymechanical in operation and it is there­tore explosion proot.

Initial PreparationThe Volumeter is connected to the ex­piratory side of a ventilator or to a circlesystem of an anaesthetic machine. Theexpiratory air flows from top to bottom.

The Volumeter can be directly screwedonto the Dräger ventilators- andanaesthetic machines (Fig. 2).

Operational UseMeasurement of Minute Volume

When the left button is depressed (Fig.3), a timer begins to run, which after oneminute wil! stop the hand ofthe volume­ter. In this manner, the minute volume isdetermined. When the left button ispushed, a black spot wil! also sim ul­taneously appear in the left aperture,and after one minute, a black disc wil! fil!the rectangular space, located belowthe hand of the indicator.

Measurement of Tidal Volume

When the right button is depressed (Fig.4) a black spot wil! appear in the rightaperture and the tidal volume wil! bemeasured.

To stop the indicator hand after acertainnumber of respiratory cycles, the rightbutton is depressed half way. To restartthe Volumeter, the same button iscompletely depressed.

Measurement of Vital Capacity

(Special equipment 2M 18476 for theminute Volumeter 3000 in a kit with ac­cessories).

The accessory kit (Fig. 5) enables mea­surement of vital capacity using a facemask (Fig. 6) or a moufh piece (Fig. 7).

During postoperative recovery, the mi­nute volume of a patient with an indwel­ling endotracheal tube can be deter­mined using the same special equip­ment without further expenditure.

Cleaning and DisinfectionCleaning

The Volumeter is to be cleaned aftereach day's use. Run hot water from thetap through the Volumeter measure­ment chamber, the water flowing framtop to bottom, so that none of the watercan enter the bleed vents of the contralmechanism (Fig. 8). Do not immerse theVolumeter in water.

Shake out the Volumeter manually (Fig.9) and then dry it using the DrägerVolumeter Dryer 2M 14850 (Fig. 10) or

the Dräger Dryer 2M 8220. The connect­ing nozzle 2M 13921 is to be used to at­tach the Volumeterto the 2M 8220Dryer.

Disinfection in the Dräger Aseptor

Clean and dry the Volumeter as de­scribed before. Then attach it to theholding screw in the Aseptor and it willbe disinfected with formaldehyde.

Autoclave Sterilization

Clean the Volumeter as described be-

fore. It does not need to be dried.Sterilize in an autoclave set to a glovepragramme at 120°C.

Maintenance and CareThe bearings of the Volumeter's rotatingelements become accessible through 4lateral bores; these bores are marked byprinted arrows, This makes it possible tolubricate the bearings with a speciallysuited lubricant »Oxigënoex S 4« (ap­proved for fittings carrying oxygen).A lubricating set 2M 18180 is suppliedwith each Volumeter.

Lubrication must be carried out afterabout 30 steam sterilisations or at least

every 2 months (Fig. 11).Note!

Only use pipette supplied with the kit toavoid damage to the bearings.

Each bearing must be lubricated as fol­lows:

• Remove protective cover frompipette and open lubricant bottle.

• Dip tip of pipette into lubricant andsuck one drop of »Oxigenoex S 4«into pipette by pulling the pin up­wards.

• Insert pipette into one of the fourbores as far as it will go (bores indi­cated by arrows on the side of theVolumeter). Push the pin forward tothe stop whereby lubricant is pressedinto the hole.

Fig. 11 Lubrication of the bearings38275

Trouble ShootingIf the timer mechanism of the Volume­ter 3000 does not start followingsterilization using superheated steam,th is is due to the small shafts sticking intheir bearings. This can be corrected bygiving the Volumeter a sharp turnaround its longitudinal axis.

When a new piece of tempered plateglass hast to be put in, remove the re­taining ring over the glass using apointed instrument (such as forceps) bylevering it out to the front. When theVolumeter is tipped. the glass will fallout.

When putting in a new glass:

• Clean the dial face;

• Clean the new glass before putting itin;

• Snap in the retaining ring.
