1.2Warnings

1.2.1General Warnings Regarding Use of Equipment

<WARNING:

The ventilator must be used only under the responsibility and on the prescription of a doctor.

<WARNING:

The ventilator must be used according to its intended use. Refer to section 2.1, Indications for Use.

<WARNING:

Be aware this manual describes how to respond to the ventilator, but does not tell you how to respond to the patient.

<WARNING:

While the ventilator is in use, an alternative means of ventilation should always be available in the event of a ventilator problem. This is particularly true for ventilator-dependent patients. Supplementary observation, appropriate for the patient’s condition, is also recommended.

<WARNING:

To ensure that ventilation continues uninterrupted, ensure alternative power sources are available (AC power source, extra batteries, or an auxiliary DC car adapter). Be prepared for the possibility of power failure by having an alternative means of ventilation ready for use—particularly for ventilatordependent patients.

<WARNING:

Do not allow a patient to remain connected to the ventilator when ventilation is stopped, because a substantial quantity of exhalation gas, primarily carbon dioxide, may be inhaled by the patient. In some circumstances, inhaling carbon dioxide may lead to under-ventilation, suffocation, and serious injury or death.

<WARNING:

Always have immediate access to an alternative means of ventilation, which is ready for use, to avoid patient death or serious injury.

<WARNING:

The ventilator must not be used with flammable anesthetic substances.

<WARNING:

Do not start ventilation until you ensure that the device is suitably assembled, that the air inlet filter is properly installed and is not obstructed, and that there is proper clearance all around the unit. Also ensure that the patient circuit is suitably connected to both the ventilator and the patient and that the patient circuit, including all hoses, is not damaged or obstructed.

<WARNING:

A ventilator-dependent patient should always be monitored by trained and competent medical personnel. Ensure that the patient’s caregiver is able and prepared to take suitable action in the event the ventilator identifies an alarmed condition or experiences a problem.

<WARNING:

Do not use a patient circuit with a leak accessory for ventilator-dependent patients.

Warnings

<WARNING:

Refer to this manual for equipment compatible with this ventilator. It may be unsafe to interconnect this equipment with other equipment not described in this manual.

<WARNING:

Before dispensing the ventilator to caregivers or the patient for home use, ensure the Locking Key is activated so that critical ventilator settings are not modified.

Do not perform ventilator alarm tests while the patient is connected to the ventilator. Provide the patient with an alternate means of ventilation before conducting these tests.

<WARNING:

Verify the functionality of the alarms before connecting the patient to the ventilator. Refer to Appendix

E, Alarms Tests.

<WARNING:

If the ventilator fails the alarm tests or if you cannot complete the tests, refer to Chapter 3, Alarms and Troubleshooting or call your equipment supplier or Covidien.

<WARNING:

When an alarm condition is triggered, or there is evidence of a patient-ventilator fault or problem, examine the patient first before examining the ventilator.

<WARNING:

A continuous alarm condition will be activated if the ventilator power switch is turned off while ventilation is in progress. When the power switch is turned back on again, ventilation will resume without having to press the VENTILATION ON/OFF button.

<WARNING:

To reduce the risk of infection, wash your hands thoroughly before and after handling the ventilator or its accessories.

<WARNING:

A patient treated by mechanical ventilation is highly vulnerable to the risks of infection. Dirty or contaminated equipment is a potential source of infection. Clean the ventilator and its accessories regularly and systematically before and after each use and following any maintenance procedure to reduce the risks of infection. The use of a bacterial filter at the ventilator’s outlet (TO PATIENT) port—or both ports if a double-limb circuit is used—is recommended. Refer to Chapter 7, Cleaning.

<WARNING:

Handle the ventilator with care during and after use, particularly when ambient temperatures are high. Some ventilator surfaces may become hot, even if safety specifications are not exceeded.

<WARNING:

1.2.2Warnings Regarding Installation and Environment of Use

<WARNING:

Even though the Puritan Bennett™ 560 ventilator meets current safety standards, the internal Lithiumion battery of the device exceeds the 100Wh threshold and is therefore considered to be Dangerous Goods (DG) Class 9 – Miscellaneous, when transported in commerce. As such, the Puritan Bennett™ 560 ventilator and/or the associated Lithium-ion battery are subject to strict transport conditions under the Dangerous Goods Regulation for air transport (IATA: International Air Transport Association), International Maritime Dangerous Goods code for sea and the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) for Europe. Private individuals who transport the device are excluded from these regulations although for air transport some requirements apply. For air transport; the Puritan Bennett™ 560 ventilator is permitted as checked-in or carry-on baggage. Two spare batteries per person may be taken on board as carry-on luggage only, with the prior approval of the airline. This classification and regulatory requirements may vary depending upon the country and mode of transport. Therefore it is recommended that users verify with the carrier / airline as to which measures to take before the voyage.

<WARNING:

To minimize the risk of damage, you must use the ventilator’s dual bag to transport the ventilator. Ventilator accessories are listed in Table F-1.

<WARNING:

When using the ventilator in a carrying case, only use a carrying case that is listed in the instructions for use to prevent adverse ventilator performance, which can consequently result in patient death.

<WARNING:

Regularly clean the ventilator’s dual bag according to manufacturer’s recommendations.

<WARNING:

The ventilator should never be immersed in any liquid, and any liquid on the surface of the device should be wiped away immediately.

Warnings

<WARNING:

To avoid damage to the ventilator, in particular the batteries or electrical components, fluids must not be allowed to enter the device, particularly through the air inlet filter or the cooling apertures located in the side, rear, and bottom panels of the ventilator.

<WARNING:

To ensure correct and lasting operation of the device, ensure that the ventilator is installed and operated in the environmental conditions recommended in Appendix A, Specifications.

<WARNING:

<WARNING:

Do not operate the ventilator in the presence of active high frequency (HF) surgical equipment. Doing so could cause a ventilator malfunction.

<WARNING:

Do not operate the ventilator in direct sunlight, near heat sources, outdoors, or near installations where liquid may pose a risk without first providing adequate protection for the device.

<WARNING:

Avoid using the ventilator, if possible, in dusty environments. Dusty environments may require more vigilant monitoring, cleaning, and/or replacement of air intake and other filters.

<WARNING:

Ensure that the ventilator’s immediate surroundings allow for the proper operational connection of the device without folding, pinching, or damaging any of the required cables or tubes, and that the connection of the patient circuit to the patient provides for a secure, comfortable fit.

<WARNING:

Ensure that the ventilator is not positioned or located such that the AC and DC connections at the back of the ventilator are difficult to access.

<WARNING:

Do not cover the ventilator or place in a position that affects proper operation, e.g., blocking a front or lateral opening.

<WARNING:

Place the ventilator in a safe place when ventilating and according to the recommendations in this manual.

<WARNING:

Do not place the ventilator in a position where a child, pet or pest can reach it, or in any position that might cause it to fall on the patient or someone else.

<WARNING:

To ensure correct and lasting operation of the ventilator, ensure that its air circulation holes (main inlet or cooling) are never obstructed. Place the device in an area where air can freely circulate around the ventilator and avoid installing it near floating fabrics, such as curtains.

<WARNING:

If the ventilator has been transported or stored at a temperature that differs more than ±20°C (±36°F) from the temperature in which it will be operating, the ventilator should be allowed to stabilize in its operating environment for at least 2 hours prior to use. When the ambient temperature is 20°C, 2 hours are required to warm the ventilator from the minimum storage temperature or to cool the ventilator from the maximum storage temperature prior to use.

<WARNING:

If the ambient temperature where the device is operated is greater than 35°C (95°F), the temperature of the patient circuit or the flow supplied at the device outlet may exceed 41°C (106°F), and the patient circuit may reach up to 60°C (140°F). This may lead to undesirable side effects for the patient. To avoid injury to the patient move the patient and the ventilator to a cooler location. For more information, contact Covidien.

<WARNING:

The default setting for altitude compensation is YES. Altitude compensation should always be set to YES for accurate volume delivery calculations at all elevations.

<WARNING:

To reduce the risk of a fire hazard, keep matches, lighted cigarettes, and all other sources of ignition (such as flammable anesthetics and/or heaters) away from the ventilator and oxygen hoses.

<WARNING:

Regularly check the cleanliness of the air inlet filter located on the rear of the ventilator. If necessary, replace the filter before the recommended replacement period is over (see Chapter 8, Routine Maintenance). This is particularly important when the ventilator is installed on a wheelchair, because environmental conditions may cause the filter to become dirty more rapidly.

<WARNING:

Handle the ventilator with care during and after use, particularly when ambient temperatures are high. Some ventilator surfaces may become hot, even if safety specifications are not exceeded.

Warnings

<WARNING:

Exercise care to avoid any potential significant risks of reciprocal interference posed by the ventilator and accessories during specific investigations or treatments.

1.2.3Warnings Regarding Electrical Power Supplies

<WARNING:

The operator should connect the ventilator to an AC power source whenever available, for safer operation.

<WARNING:

The maximum recommended shelf life of the internal battery is 2 years. Do not use a battery that has been stored for 2 years prior to its first use.

<WARNING:

Periodic recharging is important to help maximize useful life of the battery. Do not store the internal battery for extended periods, without recharging, as this may reduce the maximum life.

<WARNING:

For the AC (“mains”) power cable to be properly secured, the attachment located on the power cable must be fitted into the power cable holder incorporated in the battery access cover and located under the AC (mains) power socket. Refer to section 4.2, Connecting to External AC Power.

<WARNING:

The power supply to which the ventilator is connected (both AC and DC) must comply with all applicable standards and provide electrical power corresponding to the voltage characteristics inscribed on the rear of the ventilator to ensure correct operation. Refer also to the electrical specifications found in Appendix A, Specifications.

<WARNING:

Ensure that the ventilator’s internal battery is fully charged before connecting the ventilator to an external DC power source. Powering the ventilator using an external 12–30 VDC power source (via the DC power cable) does not enable its internal battery to recharge.

<WARNING:

Due to the internal battery’s limited reserve capacity, the ventilator should only be operated on the internal battery when no other power source is available. Ensure that the internal battery never becomes fully discharged.

<WARNING:

When using a car auxiliary adapter (cigarette lighter) ensure the car has been started prior to plugging in the ventilator’s DC adapter. Refer to section 4.3, Connecting to an External DC Power Source.

<WARNING:

Even if the internal battery charging indicator is off, charging of the battery may sometimes be incomplete if the ambient temperature is above 40°C (104°F) because of the battery’s internal heat safety device.

<WARNING:

When the Low Battery alarm is triggered, immediately connect the ventilator to an AC power supply to maintain ventilation and recharge the internal battery.

<WARNING:

Batteries should be disposed of according to environmental legislation in your country and locality.

<WARNING:

Never expose any batteries to direct flame.

<WARNING:

Ensure that the AC power cable is in perfect condition and not compressed. The device should not be turned on if the AC power cable is damaged.

1.2.4Warnings Regarding Hoses and Accessories

<WARNING:

The ventilator must not use, nor be connected to, any anti-static or electrically conductive hoses, tubing, or conduits.

<WARNING:

Minimum and maximum VTE alarm parameters must be properly set to warn in the event of patient disconnection.

<WARNING:

Before opening the packaging for the patient circuit, ensure that no damage is evident to the packaging or its contents. Do not use if evidence of damage exists.

<WARNING:

The patient circuit should not be changed during ventilation.

<WARNING:

On a DAILY basis, inspect the patient circuit to ensure that it shows no signs of damage, is properly connected, and is operating correctly without leakage.

<WARNING:

Single use accessories should not be reused.

Warnings

<WARNING:

The exhalation block is intended for single use by a single patient . It may periodically be cleaned, but it cannot be disinfected or sterilized. To maintain good measurement quality when used continuously, clean the exhalation block periodically (refer to section 7.3, Cleaning the Exhalation Block). The exhalation block should be changed every 4 months and cannot be reused with any other patient.

<WARNING:

During invasive ventilation (when an artificial airway bypasses the patient’s upper respiratory system), the patient’s upper respiratory system cannot humidify the incoming gas. For this reason, a humidifier, to minimize drying of the patient’s airway and subsequent irritation and discomfort, must be used.

<WARNING:

If exhaled tidal volume measurements are required to ensure correct patient ventilation a double-limb patient circuit configuration must be used in order to detect leaks. In this case, both the minimum and maximum VTE alarm parameters must be properly set to warn in the event of patient disconnection.

<WARNING:

Failing to replace a dirty air inlet filter or operating the ventilator without a filter may cause serious damage to the ventilator.

<WARNING:

Before cleaning the ventilator, first disconnect the ventilator and the patient circuit.

<WARNING:

If the ventilator is used indoors, the condition of the air inlet filter should be checked monthly. If the ventilator is used outdoors or in a dusty environment, the filter should be checked weekly and replaced as necessary.

<WARNING:

The air inlet filter is not reusable; do not attempt to wash, clean, or reuse it.

<WARNING:

The patient circuit should always be positioned to avoid hindering the patient’s movements, to prevent accidental disconnection or leakage, and to minimize the risk of patient strangulation.

<WARNING:

For pediatric use, ensure that the patient circuit type fits, and, in all respects, is suitable for use with a child. Use a pediatric circuit for patients that weigh under 53 lb. (23 kg). To ensure proper performance of the ventilator, use a recommended patient circuit; see Table F-2.

<WARNING:

Resistance of the exhalation valve and accessories (water traps, filters, HMEs, etc.) must be as low as possible.

<WARNING:

Adding attachments to the ventilator breathing system can cause the pressure during exhalation at the patient connection port to increase.

<WARNING:

The exhalation valve must allow rapid discharge of the circuit pressure. Ensure that the exhalation valve is always clean and its evacuation aperture (exhaust port) is never obstructed.

<WARNING:

Users must always possess an additional breathing circuit and exhalation valve while using the Puritan Bennett™ 560 ventilator.

<WARNING:

Always ensure that the humidification device is positioned lower than both the ventilator and the patient. Use water traps, if necessary, to limit water in the patient circuit and periodically empty these water traps. Take precautions when discarding the fluid in the water trap. Discard per local ordinance for proper disposal.

<WARNING:

Use of a nebulizer or humidifier can lead to an increase in the resistance of inspiratory and exhalation filters. Monitor the filters frequently for increased resistance or blockage.

<WARNING:

If a heated humidifier is used, you should always monitor the temperature of the gas delivered to the patient. Gas delivered from the ventilator that becomes too hot may burn the patient’s airway.

<WARNING:

Adding accessories to the ventilator breathing circuit, such as a humidifier and water trap(s), may result in a decrease in tidal volume delivered to the patient due to the added compressible volume of the accessory. Always assure that the patient is receiving the appropriate inspired volume when altering the breathing circuit configuration.

<WARNING:

The level of inspiratory resistance of the circuit and accessories (bacteria filter, humidifier, HMEs, etc.) must be as low as possible. Settings—particularly the Patient Disconnection alarm, maximum inspired volume (Max VTI), and minimum inspired volume (Min VTI) settings—must be periodically adjusted according to changes in the patient circuit resistance—especially when filters are replaced.

<WARNING:

To ensure proper performance of the ventilator, use a patient circuit recommended by Covidien in this manual; refer to Chapter 4, Installation and Assembly and Appendix F, Parts and Accessories. The total specified length of the patient circuit tubing as measured from the ventilator outlet to the ventilator inlet is 1.1 meters (3.6 feet) to 2.0 meters (6.6 feet). The tubing must conform to all applicable standards and must be fitted with Ø 22 mm terminals that also conform to all applicable standards. Ensure that

Warnings

both the length and the internal volume of the patient circuit are appropriate for the tidal volume: a corrugated tube of Ø 22 mm for adult patients, and a corrugated tube of Ø 15 mm for pediatric patients with a tidal volume lower than 200 ml.

<WARNING:

To ensure proper performance of the ventilator, use only accessories (including oxygen accessories) approved and recommended by Covidien. See Appendix F, Parts and Accessories or contact your customer services.

<WARNING:

To reduce the likelihood of disconnection and to prevent adverse ventilator performance, use only accessories compatible with the ventilator. Compatibility is determined by reviewing the instructions for use of either the ventilator or the accessories.

<WARNING:

When using non-invasive ventilation (NIV) without an exhalation valve, use a vented nose or face mask or a non vented combined with a leak accessory. When using non-invasive ventilation (NIV) with an exhalation valve, use a non-vented mask.

1.2.5Warnings Regarding Settings

<WARNING:

Before starting ventilation, always verify that all settings are properly set in accordance with the required prescription.

<WARNING:

Before starting ventilation, ensure that the device is properly assembled and that the air inlet, cooling vents, and alarm sound diffusion holes are not obstructed. Ensure also that the patient circuit is of the proper configuration (double or single limb), properly connected to the ventilator, and that the circuit hoses are neither damaged nor compressed and contain no obstructions or foreign bodies.

<WARNING:

The CPAP mode does not provide a set respiratory rate. Do not use this mode for ventilator-dependent patients.

<WARNING:

Do not allow a patient to remain connected to the ventilator when ventilation is stopped, because a substantial quantity of exhalation gas, primarily carbon dioxide, may be inhaled by the patient.

<WARNING:

Alarm volume should be adjusted with respect to the ventilator’s operating environment and so that the patient’s caretakers can hear the alarms. The audible alarm vents located at the front of the device should never be obstructed. The alarm can be paused with the Alarm Pause function by pressing the ALARM CONTROL key twice once the alarm has been declared.

<WARNING:

Ensure that the I Sens setting is not set to OFF when ventilating patients capable of triggering spontaneous breaths.

<WARNING:

The ventilator offers a variety of breath delivery options. Throughout the patient’s treatment, the clinician should carefully select the ventilation mode and settings to use for that patient, based on clinical judgment, the condition and needs of the patient, and the benefits, limitations, and characteristics of the breath delivery options. As the patient’s condition changes over time, periodically assess the chosen modes and settings to determine whether those are best for the patient’s current needs.

<WARNING:

In adult or pediatric use ensure that the adjusted tidal volume is compatible with the needs of the patient.

<WARNING:

When changing the mode during ventilation, significant transitions of pressure, flow or cycling rate might occur, depending on the difference between the modes. Before setting the new mode, first ensure that the settings between the different modes are compatible. This reduces the risk of discomfort and harm to the patient.

<WARNING:

Do not conduct the ventilator alarm test while the patient is connected to the ventilator. Switch the patient to an alternate means of ventilation before testing.

<WARNING:

The Min PIP alarm setting must be adjusted for the patient, but must also be set high enough to allow the Patient Disconnection alarm to trigger properly. Perform the low pressure test to ensure the alarm is properly set.

<WARNING:

The Max Leak alarm setting must be adjusted for the patient, but must also be set low enough to allow the High Leakage alarm to trigger properly. Perform the max leak test to ensure the alarm is functioning properly. This alarm only applies to leak configuration (NIV).

<WARNING:

If Apnea Time is set to a value higher than 60/Control R then the Apnea alarm will not activate.

<WARNING:

If an Apnea alarm is required, set the Apnea setting to YES in the Preferences Menu.

Warnings

<WARNING:

The Apnea alarm should be set to YES for ventilator dependent patients.

<WARNING:

Setting any alarm limits to OFF or extreme high or low values can cause the associated alarm not to activate during ventilation, which reduces its efficacy for monitoring the patient and alerting the clinician to situations that may require intervention.

<WARNING:

Ensure the Insp Time setting is compatible with the physiological requirements of the patient.

<WARNING:

Adjustable alarms should not be systematically canceled; instead, they should be adjusted according to the needs and condition of the patient.

<WARNING:

Do not pause, disable, or decrease the volume of the ventilator’s audible alarm if patient safety could be compromised.

<WARNING:

A continuous alarm condition will be activated if the ventilator power switch is turned off while ventilation is in progress. When the power switch is turned back on again, the ventilation will resume without having to press the VENTILATION ON/OFF button.

<WARNING:

In the SIMV mode the use of a double-limb circuit is recommended. The Min VTE setting should remain active in the event that pressure losses are present on the patient circuit downstream from the proximal pressure link. In such cases the Patient Disconnection alarm would not be systematically activated in case of a disconnection of the circuit.

<WARNING:

The inspiration trigger threshold should be carefully modified in order to avoid the risk of false triggering or “autotriggering” of the ventilator. For example, Level 0P, the most sensitive mode, is recommended for pediatric use. However, for an adult, this setting may result in autotriggering.

<WARNING:

The sound level of the alarms should be adjusted according to the installation environment and the size of the area monitored by the patient’s caregiver. Ensure that the alarm sound apertures at the front of the device are never obstructed.

1.2.6Warnings Regarding PC Connection and USB Memory Devices

<WARNING:

Do not connect the ventilator to any device other than a PC with a dedicated compatible Puritan Bennett™ software package.

<WARNING:

2.1Indications for Use

The Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator is indicated for the continuous or intermittent mechanical ventilatory support of patients weighing at least 11 lb (5 kg) who require mechanical ventilation. The ventilator is a restricted medical device intended for use by qualified, trained personnel under the direction of a doctor. It is essential to read, understand, and follow these instructions before using the Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator.

2.1.1 Target Patients

Specifically, the ventilator is applicable for adult and pediatric patients who require the following general types of invasive or non-invasive ventilatory support, as prescribed by an attending doctor:

•Positive Pressure ventilation

•Assist/Control, SIMV, or CPAP modes of ventilation

•Breath types including Volume Control, Pressure Control, and Pressure Support

2.1.2Target Environments

The ventilator is suitable for use in institutional, home, and portable settings. It is not intended for use in Emergency Medical Service (EMS) such as an emergency transport.

The Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator is suitable for use on commercial aircraft, per FAA requirements. See section A.11, Standards Compliance and IEC Classification. Patients traveling with the Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator may be required by their airline to demonstrate evidence of compliance with the RTCA/DO-160F standard, as well as other requirements. Contact your airline prior to travel to determine airline specific requirements and documentation.

<WARNING:

Even though the Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator meets current safety standards, the internal Lithium-ion battery of the device exceeds the 100Wh threshold and is therefore considered to be Dangerous Goods (DG) Class 9 – Miscellaneous, when transported in commerce. As such, the Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator and/or the associated Lithium-ion battery are subject to strict transport conditions under the Dangerous Goods Regulation for air transport (IATA: International Air Transport

Association), International Maritime Dangerous Goods code for sea and the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) for Europe. Private individuals who transport the device are excluded from these regulations although for air transport some requirements apply. For air transport; the Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator is permitted as checked-in or carry-on baggage. Two spare batteries per person may be taken on board as carry-on luggage only, with the prior approval of the airline. This classification and regulatory requirements may vary depending upon the country and mode of transport. Therefore it is recommended that users verify with the carrier / airline as to which measures to take before the voyage.

2.1.3Target Operators

<WARNING:

This ventilator must be used only under the responsibility and on the prescription of a doctor.

The ventilator may be operated by the following caregivers:

•Respiratory therapists

•Doctors

•Nurses

•Homecare providers

•Patient and patient’s families

For more details on knowledge and skill requirements for operating the Puritan Bennett™ 560 ventilator, please consult your clinician.

It is the responsibility of the clinician or clinical educator to ensure that both the patient and the caregiver fully understand the topics necessary for operation of the ventilator.

2.2 Contraindications

This ventilator is not for use with anesthetic gases, and is not intended for use as an emergency transport ventilator.

Operational Use

2.3 Operational Use

The Puritan Bennett™ 560 ventilator uses a micro-turbine to provide ventilatory support to patients. Clinicians may use a variety of interfaces to connect patients to the ventilator for continuous or intermittent ventilatory support. Some examples include mouthpieces; nasal masks or full face masks; endotracheal tubes or tracheotomy tubes. User-selectable ventilation modes are:

•Assisted Controlled Volume (V A/C)

•Assisted Controlled Pressure (P A/C)

•Volume Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (V SIMV)

•Pressure Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (P SIMV)

•Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)

•Pressure Support Ventilation with apnea ventilation (PSV/ST)

2.3.1Safety Net

Incorporated in the ventilator design is an alarm system that continuously monitors both patient and machine for signs of specific errors or faults that could lead to an unsafe condition. Should any of these errors or faults be detected, the alarm system announces the specific alarm condition both audibly and visually. The machine-related alarm conditions are factory set, whereas the patientrelated alarm conditions are defined by alarm-threshold values selected by an operator (a clinician or a caregiver). For more information, see Chapter 3, Alarms and Troubleshooting.

2.3.2 Settings

A software key, known as the Locking key, restricts access to ventilation parameter settings and ventilation mode changes in order to distinguish between clinician usage and patient usage.

2.3.3 Oxygen Enrichment

Oxygen may be supplied from an external, low pressure source, but the oxygen flow must be limited to 15 lpm (50 kPa, 500 mbar). The ventilator automatically compensates for the extra flow created by the external oxygen supply (see Chapter 4, Installation and Assembly.)

2.3.4 Breathing Circuit

The ventilator can be used with a singleor double-limb patient circuit. If exhaled volume monitoring is required (such as ventilator dependent patients), use the double-limb circuit for exhaled tidal volume monitoring. For more information, see section 4.4, Patient Circuit.

<WARNING:
