How To ... 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.
