Use a Miniflow with SLE4000 & SLE5000
Neonatal Ventilator and an Intersurgical Circuit
SLE “How to’s...” are published as a guideline by SLE Ltd, and
should only be carried out by suitably trained and qualified staff.
It is strongly recommended all Operatives have read and
understood the User Manual before attempting these tasks.
This handout has been prepared to show the user how to use the Miniflow
with an Intersurgical circuit.
Miniflow is a single use product for nCPAP therapy/non invasive ventilation
therapy, in treating neonates and premature infants in intensive care units. In
such cases, Miniflow serves as the patient interface. It is used in combination
with a ventilator, which controls the nCPAP pressure and supports Miniflow
with the necessary gas flow.
