 7 Operating the Ventilator

Warning: This device should be operated only by qualified personnel

under approved medical direction.
Warning: Use only as directed. Improper usage or unauthorized
modification of this product may result in user or patient injury.
Warning: Unit is not MRI compatible.
Warning: Not for use in a toxic environment or in the presence of
flammable anesthetics.

● Connect to an oxygen source:

Located on the right side of the ventilator and marked with text is a diameter index
safety system (DISS) fitting. Connect a 50 psi oxygen source with a minimum of 40
LPM flow capacity to this fitting. The unit comes with a single use supply hose made of
PVC. A rubber reusable hose may be purchased and is recommended. See
accessories.
Warning: Proper tidal volumes may not be provided with a gas source
not meeting the specified requirements on page 4.
Warning: This device operates with medical gases under pressure,
including oxygen. Do not use this device while smoking or near open
flames or flammable materials.
Caution: In order to provide optimal performance, check all gas
supplies to assure that only clean, dry gas that is free of contaminants
and/or liquids is used.
The gas source may also be a high flow air/oxygen blend meeting the flow and pressure
requirements.

●Selectthe proper inspiratory time:

Press the ON/OFF button to activate the unit. The EPV200 has the options of a
2 second inspiratory time (this is used on adults with tidal volume requirements of more
than 600 ml) and a 1 second inspiratory time (this is used on children or adults). Push
the appropriate Inspiratory Time button and a green LED will show the selected
inspiratory time.

 Select the desired breaths per minute (BPM):

The EPV200 has a BPM range of 0 and 5 to 20 with a 2 second inspiratory time, and a
BPM range of 0 and 5 to 30 with a 1 second inspiratory time. Use the up and down
arrows above or below the text “BPM” to set the desired BPM. The BPM setting will be
displayed in the window above the selection arrows. The 0 BPM setting is used when
the patient is breathing spontaneously.

The American Heart Association Guidelines 2005 recommend a BPM rate of 8 to 12 for
an adult and 12 to 20 for a child. These are recommendations. Physician or medical
director instructions should always be followed.

  Select the desired tidal volume (Tv):
Turn the tidal volume knob to the desired tidal volume setting. The flow to the patient is
different for each tidal volume.

Tidal Volume Setting Approximate Flow

(LPM)
It = 1 second It = 2 second
200 400 12
240 480 14.4
280 560 16.8
320 640 19.2
360 720 21.6
400 800 24

480 960 28.8
520 1040 31.2
560 1120 33.6
600 1200 36

 Verify the pressure relief setting:

This unit has a factory set pressure relief setting of less than 60 cm H2O. The 60 cm
H2O setting is a maximum, regardless of vent settings. The pressure relief setting will
vary slightly with tidal volume setting. Lower tidal volumes will have a slightly lower
pressure relief point. Always verify the relief pressure after the vent settings have been
selected. To check the actual relief pressure, block the end of the ventilator breathing
circuit and observe the reading on the airway pressure gauge. This will be the
maximum airway pressure. You should hear an audible alarm and see a flashing light
as this maximum pressure is reached.

Warning: Preset tidal volumes may not be delivered when the

maximum pressure limit is reached. Inspiratory times will remain
constant. However, no additional tidal volume will be delivered after
the pressure limit is reached.

 Connect the patient breathing circuit:

Located on the left side of the unit is a 22 mm connection for a patient breathing circuit.
The patient breathing circuit has been designed to fit with an oxygen mask (22 mm
outside diameter) or an endotracheal tube (15 mm inside diameter). Install the
corrugated tubing over the connector so that it is on securely. Follow the established
guidelines for maintaining the patient’s airway.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

  Verify the patient is receiving good ventilation:
Once the patient is connected to the ventilator, the patient should be observed to make
sure he has adequate chest rise and fall. The chest rise should be even and should
return to a normal position. If the patient does not have adequate chest rise, check the
tidal volume setting and patient connections and examine the patient for a possible
obstruction of the airway or other injury. The patient should be monitored to make sure
he is receiving proper ventilation.

The airway pressure gauge should be observed to make sure the patient is receiving
adequate positive pressure ventilation. If the gauge reading is low during the delivery of
a breath and the chest rise is also low, check the tidal volume setting and patient
connections and examine the patient for a possible obstruction of the airway or other
injury. The gauge reading should also be observed to make sure it is not too high.
Common numbers used in practice are a maximum of 20 cm H2O for an unprotected
airway and 30 cm H2O for a protected airway. Higher pressures may be required based
on the patient’s condition. Physician instructions should always be followed. A high
reading with a pressure limit alarm may indicate a blocked airway or a stiff lung. If you
are using a PEEP valve with the ventilator circuit, the PEEP pressure will not be
displayed on the gauge (Airway Pressure Display).

● Spontaneous breathing by the patient:

Should the patient begin to breathe spontaneously, the EPV200 will sense this breath
and deliver the set tidal volume at the corresponding inspiratory time. The breath timing
will be reset based on the selected BPM rate. For example, if 10 BPM was selected,
the next breath will be delivered 6 seconds after the start of the spontaneous breath.
The gas flow rate to the patient during a spontaneous breath is based on the tidal
volume selection as shown in the table on page 7. Should the patient demand exceed
the gas flow rate, the additional demand will be supplied by the ambient air. Ambient air
is pulled in through an anti-suffocation valve located in the breathing circuit connection
fitting.

Warning: Do not cover or block the anti-suffocation valve.

Warning: Should a mechanical problem develop or the patient appears
to be experiencing difficulty breathing while connected to the unit,
disconnect the unit immediately and ventilate by other means.

 Cold temperature operation:

Operating time will be significantly reduced if the batteries are stored at low
temperatures. At 15°F (-9°C) the battery life will be approximately 9 hours (10 BPM and
2 second It) before the low battery indicator turns on. The low battery indicator will still
give about a 2 hour low battery warning. Batteries should be replaced when the low
battery indicator appears, as run times are reduced at low temperatures. When the unit
stops operating you will receive a breath delivery alarm.

Warning: Batteries stored at temperatures below 15°F (-9°C) may not

have enough power to properly operate the solenoid valve in the unit,
resulting in tidal volumes that are not the indicated value.

 8 Alarms

This ventilator contains several alarms: high airway pressure, low source gas, low
battery, and breath delivery failure.

The high airway pressure alarm is an audible alarm with a red LED that is actuated
when the airway pressure during inspiration reaches 45 cm H2O. The safety pressure
relief will actuate at pressures between the alarm setting and 60 cm H2O.
Warning: Preset tidal volumes may not be delivered when the
maximum pressure limit is reached. Inspiratory times will remain
constant. However, no additional tidal volume will be delivered after
the pressure limit is reached.
This alarm is automatically cleared when 25 seconds pass without a high airway
pressure being detected.

The low source gas alarm is an audible alarm with a red LED that activates when the
source gas pressure drops below 40 to 35 psi. This is an indication that the unit will
stop functioning soon and that the unit may not be delivering proper tidal volumes.
Warning: Preset tidal volumes may not be delivered when the low
source gas pressure is reached.
This alarm clears when proper source gas pressure is restored for 15 seconds.

The low battery alarm is a red LED that indicates the battery is running low. The unit
will operate for approximately 2 hours after the alarm first turns on. The batteries
should be replaced when the low battery alarm turns on.
Warning: The displays on the unit will stay on after the unit has
stopped delivering breaths. Batteries should be replaced when a low
battery condition is encountered.
This alarm clears when the batteries have proper battery voltage.

The breath delivery alarm is a flashing red LED. This alarm uses the same light as the
high airway pressure alarm. The breath delivery failure alarm will sound when the
airway pressure does not reach 9 cm H2O in 15 seconds or when a spontaneous breath
is detected. This alarm may indicate that the patient has become disconnected from the
unit or the unit has stopped delivering breaths. This alarm clears when airway pressure
exceeds 9 cm H2O.

Silence Button – When an alarm occurs, the user may press the button for the
currently selected inspiratory time for 3 seconds to silence the alarm. This will turn off
the buzzer for 110 seconds as long as there are no other alarms. Pressing this button
will not clear the alarm LEDs.

 12 Check-out Procedure

The unit should be checked for proper operation before each use. This can be done
after cleaning to prepare the unit for the next use.

Set the ventilator to the following settings:

 BPM = 10
 Tidal Volume = 640
 Inspiratory Time = 2 seconds

General Operation Check:

1. Connect a 50 psi oxygen source to the unit and turn the power on. The unit
should begin to cycle.
2. Using a stop watch, count the number of breaths delivered in 1 minute
(60 seconds).
 Confirm that between 9 and 11 breaths have been delivered.
 Confirm that the inspiratory time is significantly shorter than the expiratory
time. (At the settings noted above, the ventilator should provide a 2.0 second
inspiratory time and a 4.0 second expiratory time.)
3. Connect the 22 mm corrugated tubing or the allied patient circuit provided, to
the patient circuit connection port. (See Item 9 Under Features On Page 4).
Block the patient end of the corrugated tubing.
 Confirm that the airway pressure does not exceed 60 cm H2O by monitoring
the airway pressure display on the face of the ventilator.
 An alarm will sound at approximately 45 cm H2O.
4. Visually inspect the anti-suffocation valve in the patient circuit connection port to
verify that the valve is flush to the contour of the round inner surface and that no
gap exists.

Alarm Mode Check:

1. Low source gas:
 Reduce the source gas pressure to below 35 psi and monitor that the red
LED display turns on and an audible alarm sounds. Return the source gas
pressure to 50 psi, and the alarm should clear in 15 seconds.
2. High airway pressure:
 Block the patient circuit connection port, and monitor the red LED display for
high airway pressure, and an audible alarm will sound. The mechanical
pressure relief should limit the airway pressure to less than 60 cm H2O.
3. Breath delivery:
 Clear the patient circuit connection port and allow the ventilator to cycle for at
least 20 seconds. The airway pressure display should not exceed 9 cm H2O
for 15 seconds. Monitor that the red LED is flashing on the breath delivery
failure alarm, and an audible alarm will sound.
Should the unit fail any of these tests, contact Allied Healthcare Products, Inc.,
Technical Support Center in St. Louis: 314-771-2400 or 800-411-5136.
