TODAY I WILL BE PRESENTING YOU A DUCOT OF THE OXY VIVA THAT IS USED IN THE QFRS...
|
My ducot will outline the description, use construction, operation and testing of the unit as well as some safety aspects...
|
|
|
THE OXY VIVA MARK 3 IS DESCRIBED IN THE QFRS AS A
|
Portable resucitating unit consisting of an oxygen cylinder, reducer, suction unit, and masks stored in a lightweight stainless steel case...
|
|
|
THE OXY VIVA IS USED IN THE QFRS
|
To provide positive pressure resuscitation to a patient using pure compressed medical oxygen.
|
|
|
THE OXY VIVA IS CONSTRUCTED OF
|
Non Corrosive Materials and has seven major components...
|
|
|
STARTING WITH THE CASE...
|
It is a lightweight staniless steel case which houses all the components of the oxy viva...
Instructions are alos in the lid... |
|
|
NEXT IS THE INLET/OUTLET PORT...
|
Is located externally on the left hand end of the case...
This port allows connection to a bulk supply and accepts various resucitating connections... Also has a self sealing anulus... |
|
|
SECONDLY THE CYLINDER YOKE...
|
Which is pin indexed this prevents fitting an incorrect cylinder...
When a cylinder is not fitted the yoke plug prevents foreign matter entering the tubing... It also has a leakproof seal known as a BODOK seal... |
|
|
THIRDLY THE CYLINDER...
|
Oxygen cylinders are white in colour labelled with a placard...
It Is housed under the case in a cradle... When full it contains 490L of medical oxygen and is a pin index valve group... |
|
|
FOURTHLY THE CYLINDER KEY WHEEL...
|
Is used to open or close the cylinder valve and housed inside a grommet inside the case...
|
|
|
FIFTHLY THE REDUCER...
|
Reduces the oxygen cylinder pressure to 400kpa...
And regulates the oxygen pressure to suction, resusitation and therapy systems... |
|
|
SIXTHLY THE GAUGE...
|
This indicates the cylinder content and pressure which is calibrated from 0-25/300000...
Coonected to the reducer... |
|
|
SEVENTHLY THE SUCTION UNIT...
|
Has a quick action on off lever...
The yellow suction line is 2m in length and runs from the Suction trap jar to the Suction catheter |
|
|
SUCTION EXHAUST VALVE...
|
Has a fixed outlet which is permanently attached to the hose...
This discharges unwanted oxygen and gases... |
|
|
DEMAND VALVE RESUCITATOR...
|
Provides 100% oxygen and operates at a pressure of 400kpa...
Allows a flow rate of 40LPM up to 160LPM... Is connected with 2m of white hose... |
|
|
FACE MASKS...
|
Adult and child resucitation face masks...
Constructed of transparent polycarbonate with a cushion seal constructed of either silicone, plastic or rubber... The connector allows the mask to be connected to the valve body |
|
|
OXYGEN THERAPY UNIT...
|
Has a lever controlled on off switch, with a flow rate of 8Lpm...
The green therapy hose is 2m in length and is connected to the oxygen outlet and therapy mask... Has disposeable face masks as they induce outside atmosphere... |
|
|
TO BRING THE OXY VIVA INTO USE IN THE QFRS REQUIRES THE FOLLOWING SKILLS...
|
Prepare the Oxy Viva...
Prepare the Suction... Prepare The resucitation Head... Prepare the Therapy... And Finally Shut Down... |
|
|
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF TESTS INVOLVED WITH THE OXY VIVA MARK 3, THESE INCLUDE VISUAL & OPERATIONAL TESTING...
|
Both tests are conducted...
On being taken into service... Weekly... After use at an incident... |
|
|
THE VISUAL EXAMINATION INVOLVES...
|
Ensuring all components are clean and in good working order...
All parts are moving freely... The cylinder is securely fiitted in the cradle... |
|
|
THE OPERATIONAL TESTING INVOLVES....
|
Operating the oxyviva and ensure cylinder contents are at least at 10,000kpa
Fiitings & components function correctly, are clean and do not leake... |
|
|
THE SAFETY ASPECTS INVOLVED WITH USING AN OXY VIVA
|
Before commencing any first aide wear appropriate PPE to reduce contamination and infection such as surgical gloves...
Never Use the Oxy Viva near an open flame... Never use oxy viva when equipment is faulty.. |
|
|
IN ADDITION...
|
Cylinders are hydrostatically tested...
On the case is the QFRS history number as well ast the red sticker which is the service number... |
