MACS CPAP System
Self Guided Tour
Slide 2
Program Objectives
This program is a self guided tour of the
MACS CPAP System.
At the end of this tour you will be able to:
Describe the main operating features of MACS
Identify the controls and connections
Describe the patient circuit
Set-up MACS for patient operation
Define various clinical environments for CPAP application
Clean and maintain the MACS
Slide 3
Features and Controls – Rear Panel
Driving Gas Input
Connection for 50 psi
oxygen source gas
Always use a high flow
gas source (pressure
take-off) that can provide
55 + 15 psi pressure at a
minimum of 40 L/min
Slide 4
Features and Controls – Rear Panel
Air Entrainment
Ambient air is entrained for
internal gas mixing
External housing contains
air filter
Air filter replacement is part
of the preventative
maintenance
Slide 5
Features and Controls – Front Panel
CPAP Control
Adjusts the CPAP from 0
to 20 cm H2O
Automatic sensitivity
Flow adjusts automatically
to meet patient demand
up to 140 L/min
Oxygen concentration is
maintained at set %
Oxygen control
Slide 6
Features and Controls – Front Panel
% Oxygen Control
Delivered oxygen choice
65%
100%
Sets the spontaneous
breath oxygen
concentration
Slide 7
Features and Controls – Front Panel
Pressure Gauge
Shows pressure in
patient circuit at the
output of MACS
Gives an indication of
patient effort
Slide 8
Features and Controls – Front Panel
Circuit Connection 1
Connection for the large
bore hose of the patient
circuit
Slide 9
Features and Controls – Front Panel
Circuit Connection 2
Patient circuit small hose
connection
Connects to the
expiratory valve on the
patient circuit
Slide 10
Patient Circuit
Patient circuit is a disposable, single limb system;
Both hoses attach to the front of MACS
Patient end connects for clinical intervention
Directly to an endotracheal tube (invasive)
Resuscitator face mask (noninvasive)
Use 90 degree elbow to connect bacteria filter for
operator protection
Slide 11
Patient Circuit
Use only Airon Corporation patient circuits;
Calibration of the CPAP control is based upon the Airon
patient circuit
Using other manufacturers circuits may cause
errors in pressure delivery
high expiratory flow resistance
interference with CPAP sensitivity
increased oxygen usage
Slide 12
Program Objectives
MACS CPAP System self guided tour, objectives
completed so far:
Describe the main operating features of MACS
Identify the controls and connections
Describe the patient circuit
With an understanding of MACS’s capabilities, let’s look at
patient application.
Slide 13
Patient Application
Initial Set-up
Attach Airon patient circuit
to MACS
Attach a high pressure
oxygen hose to the rear of
MACS
Attach this hose to the
oxygen source
Slide 14
Patient Application
Set % Oxygen Control
Set % Oxygen control to the desired
oxygen level
All breaths receive set oxygen level
+ 10%
Oxygen tank time doubles with 65%
Caution - with rapid, large tidal
volumes on 100% oxygen, the
actual delivered percentage might
be slightly less than 100%
Slide 15
Patient Application
Start CPAP
Turn on oxygen source
Attach patient breathing
circuit to the patient using
either a mask or endotracheal
tube
Adjust the CPAP control to
the level desired
If the patient is not attached
to the circuit, or there is a
large leak, a high flow of gas
will occur
Slide 16
Patient Application
Monitor patient
Assess per your protocol
patient breathing rate
comfort
oxygenation
CO2
Slide 17
Clinical Issues
Pediatric Support
MACS is safe for pediatric - adult
patients
Use the lowest possible settings
Monitor closely for patient synchrony
Slide 18
Clinical Issues
Providing nebulized medications
A medication nebulizer may be placed
between the patient connection and the
patient
Patient will inhale medication during every
breath and exhale back out through patient
circuit
Filters may be added for personnel safety
Slide 19
Clinical Issues
CO2 Monitoring
Any type of CO2 analyzer may be
used
Inline style analyzers should be
place between the patient circuit
connection and the patient
Place the sampling tube of
sidestream analyzers under the
patient mask
Slide 20
Clinical Issues
Altitude Operation
MACS can be used for air
transports in unpressurized
cabins up to 15,000 feet
Pressure settings will not change
as altitude changes
Slide 21
Patient Safety
Patient Safety Features
Internal Safety Pressure Release –
limits circuit pressure to 40 cm H2O
Anti-Suffocation System – in the event
of device malfunction, an internal
valve will allow ambient air to enter the
patient circuit
Slide 22
Cleaning and Maintenance
Clean MACS between patients using a
soft cloth and a mild detergent /
disinfectant
Do not immerse MACS in water
Patient circuit is disposable, single use
application and should not be cleaned,
disinfected or reused
MACS should receive preventative
maintenance every 2 years
Slide 23
Program Objectives
MACS CPAP System self guided tour
completed; you should now be able to:
Describe the main operating features of MACS
Identify the controls and connections
Describe the patient circuit
Set-up MACS for patient operation
Define various clinical environments for CPAP application
Clean and maintain MACS
Next Step – consider reviewing the MACS Case Study and
completing the competency evaluation
