Attaching flow sensors The AVEA ventilator can accept either a hot wire or a variable orifice proximal flow sensor. The monitored values displayed for volume and flow is proximal values when a proximal sensor is in use. These are in addition to the instrument’s internal inspiratory flow sensor and heated expiratory flow sensor. Variable orifice flow sensor

Hot wire flow sensor

Retractable plastic collar

These are locking connectors. To attach, first pull back the plastic locking collar, then push firmly onto the ventilator receptacle. Then push the locking collar forward to lock the flow sensor in place. To disconnect, first retract the plastic collar then firmly pull the connector away from the ventilator. Do not pull up or down as this can damage the connector. 8

Attaching flow sensors (continued) The standard hot wire flow sensor is suitable for neonatal and pediatric applications where the peak inspiratory flow rate is less than 30 L/min. This flow sensor is not active in adult applications. NOTE: Hot wire flow sensors will not function with Heliox gas mixtures. During Heliox delivery, a variable orifice flow sensor should be used for monitoring delivered volumes at the proximal airway. Variable orifice flow sensors are also available on some AVEA ventilator models. The neonatal VariFlex flow sensor is compatible in neonatal and pediatric applications where the peak inspiratory flow rate is less than 30 L/min and is not active in adult applications. For adult and large pediatric applications, a pediatric / adult VariFlex flow sensor is available for use with patients whose flow requirements fall within the range of 1.2 to 180 L/min. Detailed information on the specifications of each flow sensor can be found in Appendix E: Sensor specifications and circuit resistance of the AVEA ventilator operator’s manual. Hot wire flow sensor must be zeroed prior to use. Follow operator manual instructions.

User verification test The User Verification Test consists of three separate elements: 1. Post Test: Automatic on power up. Normal ventilation begins after completion. 2. Extended System Test (EST) • Patient circuit leak test • Patient circuit compliance measurement • Two-point calibration of O2 sensor 3. Manual Alarms Testing: Detailed instructions are found in Ch. 2 of the AVEA ventilator operator’s manual.

10

User verification test (continued) Performing an Extended Systems Test (EST): The EST is accessed from the Setup screen. To open this screen, press the Setup button on the lower left of the user interface. Select the appropriate Patient Size and proceed to second menu of Setup screen.

Press the EST button to access the EST screen

11

Performing an Extended Systems Test (EST) (continued)

Remove the patient and block the patient wye, then press the Continue (Cont) button.

All tests are performed simultaneously. The maximum time for the EST is 90 seconds. To restart the EST at any time, select the Cancel button to return to the Setup screen.

Press the Continue button to return to the Setup screen.

When possible the EST should be performed with an oxygen supply connected. A two point calibration of the oxygen sensor is performed during the EST. NOTE: If you do not connect the ventilator to an oxygen supply, the O2 sensor calibration will immediately fail. CAUTION: Although failure of any of the above tests will not prevent the ventilator from functioning, it should be checked to make sure it is operating correctly before use on a patient. 12

Setting the ventilation breath type and mode Advanced settings You can further refine delivery of the breath by accessing the Advanced Settings. Not all primary controls have advanced settings. Primary Controls that feature advanced settings will display a yellow triangle to the right of the control name. Accessing the advanced settings

Press the Adv Settings membrane button.

Press the primary control to display the advanced settings available for that particular control.
