Usually we don't have troubles related to moisture, but it's clear that NO monitoring line is not heated...

Yes, we're using it. Apparently, there's too much moisture condensing into monitoring line of our monitoring device.

Good morning, I'm experiencing an issue with a filter on the monitoring line used to check the real-time concentration of nitric oxide. After few hours of use, the filter becomes blocked because of moisture and iNO monitoring system starts alarming. The supplier can't find a real alternative. Is anyone having the same issue?

Dear stefan, thanks for your reply. The point is that we are planning low consumption rate (10-treatment per year, according to our previous experience of patients to be treated with iNO) , so the supplier is telling he can provide just one device. I know these devices are safe but what in case of device break-down?

Dear all, I'm a new member here. In my department an internal assestment is having place, in order to introduce iNO therapy. Beyond economic and clinical aspects, we are now focusing on risk management. In case of device break down during the treatment, the sudden interruption of NO delivery can lead to important injuries for our little patients, in particular if just one device is present within the hospital (I know that several gas companies don't provide an emergency back-up system). Did someone of you encounter the same trouble? How did you solve it? Many thanks, JP
