•
RF emitters are in the vicinity.
•
Use of other electrical equipment on or near this system may cause interference. Verify normal operation of equipment in your configuration before use on patients.
•
Do not attach a gas scavenging system or other accessories to the gas exhaust port. Occluding the gas exhaust port will prevent proper ventilation of the patient.
•
Adding attachments or other components to the breathing system may increase the inspiratory or expiratory resistance. Ensure the inspiratory and expiratory resistances do not exceed 6 cmH2O pressure drop for the following flows:
•
60 l/min for adult use
•
30 l/min for pediatric use
Patient Circuit Connections Connection of Single limb leakage circuit. The usage of leakage circuit is optimized for NIV and does not have Exhalation monitoring. Please select circuit type as “Leakage” under device settings-> Circuit Type for this configuration.

Dual limb with exhalation volume monitoring. It is recommended that dual limb circuit should be used for acute cases. Please select circuit type as “Exhalation” under device settings-> Circuit Type for this configuration.
For information on how to remove the exhalation housing and extract the exhalation valve for cleaning please refer to Section 7.3: Cleaning and replacing the Exhalation Valve with Parameter Measurement. •
Only use Vayu Ventilator with a patient circuit, exhalation valve, leakage port and accessories recommended by GE Healthcare.
•
The pressurized air from Vayu Ventilator causes a continuous flow of air to escape from the leak ports or exhalation valve, flushing exhaled gas from the circuit. Vayu Ventilator should be turned on and the leakage port or exhalation valve should be checked for any blockage before application.
Vayu User’s Reference Manual 2052652-001-001 revB
13
•
Do not connect patient to a patient circuit connected to Vayu Ventilator unless Vayu Ventilator is turned on and operating properly.
•
Do not use patient hoses or tubes made of static or electrically conductive material.
•
Always use a new patient circuit when Vayu Ventilator is to be used on a new patient.
•
Patient connected parts and all filters must be replaced regularly to ensure correct function of Vayu Ventilator. All replaced parts must be disposed of according to local environmental regulations regarding the disposal of used equipment and parts.
•
Periodically check for moisture in the patient circuit. When present, remove the moisture. Before attempting to dry the circuit, disconnect it from Vayu Ventilator to ensure no water will flow back into Vayu Ventilator. The frequency at which these checks must be performed will depend on the patient's condition and the device used. You should assess this on an individual basis in accordance with the patient's needs.
•
When using Vayu Ventilator invasively the low volume alarm and the low breath rate alarm must be carefully set, to ensure safe use.
•
Endotracheal tubes, oral/nasal tubes etc. with small inner diameters increase the resistance in the breathing circuit.
•
In case of invasive application, the use of an appropriate external heated humidifier or HME (Heat and Moisture Exchanger, artificial nose)/HCH (Hygroscopic Condenser Humidifier) is recommended.
•
Make sure that the exhalation valve or the leakage port is never blocked or obstructed.
•
At low pressure, the air flow through the leakage ports may be inadequate to clear all exhaled gases. Some re-breathing may occur.
•
Do not leave long lengths of air tubing around the top of the bed. It could twist around the patient's head or neck while sleeping.
•
Always follow the instructions of the mask manufacturer.
•
For invasive applications using the leakage circuit, assure that an intentional leakage port is present in the circuit, as close as possible to the patient connection, to reduce the risk of rebreathing CO2.
14
Vayu User’s Reference Manual 2052652-001-001 revB
•
Vayu Ventilator is equipped with a low leakage alarm. The low leakage alarm is not a substitute for operator vigilance in ensuring that the leakage ports remains clear at all times. Periodically check the leakage ports during therapy.
•
In general, with leakage circuits, as pressure decreases the potential of re-breathing increases. Lower pressures produce less flow through the leakage ports which may not clear all CO2 from the circuit to prevent rebreathing.
2.5.
Usage of filter
•
Always use Vayu Ventilator with patient air inlet filters installed. Only use filters that are specified in this manual.
•
Replace or clean the filters regularly to ensure correct function of Vayu Ventilator, especially when changing patient. Failure to replace or clean a dirty filter may cause Vayu Ventilator to operate at higher temperatures than intended.
•
When operating Vayu Ventilator, make sure that the air inlet and filters are not obstructed or occluded.
•
If Vayu Ventilator is used in a clinic by several patients, a low resistance bacteria filter is recommended between the air outlet and the patient circuit to prevent patient cross-contamination. Reuse of mask or bacteria filter may expose patients to contagious agents.
•
The uses of a high resistance bacteria filter on the output of the device may interfere with the operation of the patient disconnect function. It may also interfere with the device trigger function.
2.6.
Humidification
•
Humidification must only be used if this has been prescribed by a physician.
•
When using an external heated humidifier, it should be located below Vayu Ventilator and the patient to prevent injury from accidental spillage.
•
During transportation of Vayu Ventilator, the external humidifier shall be disconnected.
•
If the condensation in the patient circuit is excessive, the use of a heated humidifier may require the installation of a water trap in Vayu User’s Reference Manual 2052652-001-001 revB
15
the circuit. The water trap prevents any condensate water in the patient circuit from running into the patient airways and causing personal injury. •
When adding or removing a HME or HCH, always perform a patient circuit check for correct connections
•
The use of an HME (Heat and Moisture Exchanger, artificial nose) or an external humidifier may require readjustment of Vayu Ventilator low pressure alarm.
•
Certain HME's and HCH's (Hygroscopic Condenser Humidifiers) are sufficient to provide humidification when Vayu Ventilator is used invasively. Check specific suppliers recommended use.
•
Never use HME and heated humidifier simultaneously.
2.7.
Cleaning and Maintenance
•
Vayu Ventilator should be cleaned and maintained in accordance with this Vayu Ventilator User Reference Manual. Refer Section 7 : Cleaning and Maintenance
•
Do not attempt to autoclave or sterilize Vayu Ventilator main unit.
•
Vayu Ventilator should be subjected to maintenance, service and any applicable upgrades, in accordance with GE Healthcare service instructions.
•
Vayu Ventilator shall only be repaired or modified in accordance with GE Healthcare Vayu Ventilator Technical Reference manuals, technical bulletins, and any special service instructions, by service technicians authorized by GE Healthcare.
•
Do not under any circumstances attempt to open service or repair Vayu Ventilator yourself. If you do so, the manufacturer will no longer be responsible for the performance and safety of Vayu Ventilator. Furthermore, no guarantees will be valid.
2.8.
Usage of Oxygen User to use only gas supply hoses that meets ISO 5359 standards
•
Always follow the oxygen provider's instructions.
16
Vayu User’s Reference Manual 2052652-001-001 revB
•
The presence of oxygen can speed up combustion of inflammable materials.
•
At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration will vary, depending on the pressure delivered, patient's breathing pattern, mask selection and leak rate. To monitor the oxygen concentration an oxygen fuel cell is recommended.
•
When oxygen is used with Vayu Ventilator, the oxygen flow must be turned off when Vayu Ventilator is not operating.
•
Ventilate the room adequately when oxygen is being used.
•
Do not smoke in a room where oxygen is being used.
•
Naked light bulbs and other sources of ignition must be kept a minimum of 2 meters away from the oxygen cylinder or any part of the patient circuit.
•
Do not use aerosols or solvents close to the oxygen supply, even when the oxygen supply is shut off.
•
When Vayu Ventilator is not in operation, and the oxygen flow is left on, oxygen delivered into the patient tubing may accumulate within the machine enclosure. Oxygen accumulated in the machine enclosure will create a risk of fire. Supplemental oxygen flow may not exceed 15 l/min at maximal pressure of 50 cmH2O (mBar). When using oxygen, use the oxygen sensor kit for monitoring. In the absence of the kit, the exhaled monitored volumes will be on the higher side because of the difference in the molecular weight of oxygen. The delivered tidal volume will be correct.
