SECTION 1: SUMMARY AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (a) Summary Statement The ventiPAC 200D ventilators are portable devices intended for the ventilation of adults, children and infants (above 5 kg) during transportation and emergency situations. They consist of a control module and a remote patient valve, connected by means of a breathing hose. Both pneumatic and electronic alarms are incorporated. WARNING: Failure to read this User’s Manual before first use of this device may result in death or serious injury Before use for the first time, all potential users must read the complete User’s Manual, they should also familiarise themselves with the machine and its operation to enable them to use it effectively. They should study the contents of this Manual to the extent required to supplement their training. Special attention must be paid to warnings and precautions which are summarised in section 1(b). Failure to observe these warnings and precautions could compromise patient and/ or user safety. Special guidance on the operation and use of the ventilator is given in section 4 of this manual and basic operating instructions are provided on the label affixed to the control module. WARNING: Federal law (USA) restricts the use or sale of this device by, or on the order of, a physician WARNING: To avoid harm to the patient, this equipment should only be used by personnel trained in the use of automatic ventilation. All operators who are not medically qualified should receive full and proper instruction from a qualified person, both on resuscitation and on detailed use of the equipment in the particular situations in which it might be employed. The equipment should only be used by medical personnel who have a full understanding of the techniques required for its use, or paramedical personnel who have received full and proper initial and 'refresher' instruction from a qualified person, both on resuscitation and on detailed use of the equipment in the situations in which it is likely to be employed. Information given in this manual beyond the basic operation of the ventilator is only intended as a guide to supplement proper medical training and to indicate the specific operational requirements of the ventiPAC ventilator. WARNING: Failure to constantly monitor the patient whilst using this equipment may lead to death or serious injury. 504-1117A

WARNING: To avoid harm to the patient, blood gas levels must be monitored independently, correct operation of the ventilator will not necessarily achieve the required blood gas levels. The ventiPAC ventilator is intended only for use in transport and emergency situations where the patient is being constantly monitored by the carer. The integrated alarm unit is intended to alert the carer to changes in the patient’s ventilation but it cannot ensure that the patient’s blood gases are maintained at the required level. Therefore, patient monitoring devices e.g. a pulse oximeter and other recommended devices should additionally be used where appropriate.

(b) Warnings Warnings are given to make you aware of dangerous conditions, that could lead to death or serious injury to the user or patient, that can occur if you do not obey all of the instructions given in this manual. 1.

6.

WARNING: Air mix oxygen concentration (Sect. 2(a), 2(d) #5 & 4(c))

To avoid the risk of harm to the patient, the user should be aware that, when powered by compressed air, the ventiPAC cannot provide a higher % of oxygen than is present in air (i.e. 21%). 7.

WARNING: Use in Aircraft (Sect. 2(a))

To avoid the risk of explosion or interference, where used on aircraft, the use of this equipment must be authorised by the Aviation Authority and the Aircraft Operator. 8.

WARNING: Use of CMV/Demand Facility (Sect. 2(b), 2(b) #3 & 4(d))

Use of CMV/Demand Facility, because this function has characteristics specific to this range of ventilators it is important that the sections of the operating instructions describing this facility (Sect.s 2(b) and 4(d)) are read before this version of the ventiPAC ventilator is used so that the operator understands how the ventilator interacts with the patient during spontaneous breathing. 9.

WARNING: Non-EP Version V200D(Sect. 2(b), 2(d) #20, 2(e) (i) , 2 (f) (v) & 4(d))

Where the non EP version of V200D is being used, to avoid the risk of harm to the patient, the user should be aware that any malfunction in the Demand valve or Breathing Circuit, including dangerous or fatal malfunctions, cannot be reliably detected by observing the Pressure Manometer. 10. WARNING: Adjustable Relief Valve (Sect. 2(d) # 4). To avoid the risk of over inflating the patient, because the adjustable relief valve (where fitted) is uncalibrated, initial settings of the relief pressure should always be checked by occluding the patient connection port and observing the pressure displayed on the inflation pressure manometer BEFORE attaching the ventilator to the patient. 11. WARNING: Direct Patient Inflation Pressure Sensing - EP Option (1) ((Sect. 2(d) #6 and 2(e) (i)) Although there is no net flow in the sensing line it is recommended that a microbial filter is always inserted in the sensing line to ensure that no patient contamination can enter the manometer circuit within the control module. 504-1117A

9

12. WARNING: Direct Patient Inflation Pressure Sensing - EP Option (2) (Sect. 2(d) #6 and 2(e) (i)) Ventilators with the /EP option must never be used without the sensing line attached as this will result in a loss of ‘delivered volume’ to the patient. DO NOT use Star Lumen section tubing (see warning 35). 13. WARNING: Battery for MRI Use (Sect. 2(d) #15) To avoid projectile risk in a MRI environment, use only the approved MRI compatible battery, Part No: W269-023. Do not attempt to remove the battery from the ventilator (or take a loose battery) in a MRI environment. 14. WARNING: Potential Unsatisfactory Performance with Alternative Ventilator Patient Circuits (Sect. 2(d) #19, 2(f), 6(d) and 7) Failure to use approved circuits and accessories may lead to unsatisfactory ventilator performance. 15. WARNING: Special Patient Valve (Sect. 2(d) #20) The patient valve is specially modified to match it to the performance of the ventiPAC ventilator and only valves supplied with the units, or bearing the specified part number, should be used. Any other valve may compromise the ventilation performance of the ventiPAC ventilator. 16. WARNING: Use in very confined spaces (Sect. 2(e) ii)). Do not use this ventilator in very confined spaces, as oxygen concentration will be affected, due to expired gas from the expiration valve entering the fresh gas intake port. Where fitting in a confined space is necessary, consult Smiths Medical for installation advice. 17. WARNING: Projectile Risk (Sect. 2(f), 4(f), Appdx. C & D) To reduce the risks of potential projectile injury to the user or patient, the normal routine of checking the ventilator system for magnetic attraction should be followed whenever the equipment is taken into an MRI environment to ensure that magnetically attracted parts have not been added to the system inadvertently.

504-1117A

18. WARNING: PEEP – Pressure Guage Observation (Sect. 2(f) (v)) Where a PEEP Valve is being used, to avoid risk of harm to the patient, the User should be aware that PEEP and any malfunction in the PEEP Valve, Breathing Circuit or Exhalation Port cannot be reliably detected by observing the Pressure Manometer. 19. WARNING: Use of Clausen Harness (Sect. 2(f) (vi)) Because the operator is no longer supporting the head and chin, particular care must be taken that the victim’s airway is maintained open during these procedures and constant checks should be made for gas availability and correct ventilator function. 20. WARNING: Use of Oxygen (Sect. 3(a) (ii) 3(b) #2 and 3(b) #13) To avoid the risk of ignition, avoid smoking or naked flame, do not use oil, grease or combustible lubricants (only those approved for oxygen use) in contact with any part of the ventilator, regulator or cylinder. To avoid ignition by adiabatic compression, connect the ventilator to the regulator before opening the cylinder valve slowly. Similarly, prior to changing cylinders, turn off the cylinder valve, switching on the ventilator. When the ventilator stops, it is safe to release the pin index yoke. 21. WARNING: Pre-Use Checks (Sect. 3(b)) To avoid harm to the patient, pre-use checks must be performed (See Section 3(a) and 3(b) Points #1 to #8 inclusive) before each use. 22. WARNING: Functional Check (Sect. 3(b)13) Deviations noted at functional check should be reported immediately to Smiths Medical and the unit must be taken out of service to avoid the risk of death or serious injury. 23. WARNING: Provision of Alternative Means of Ventilation (Sect. 4 ) Always ensure that an alternative means of ventilation is available in the event of ventilator failure or malfunction. 24. WARNING: Use in Extreme Environments (Sect. 4 and Appdx. B) Extreme environments may impair ventilator performance (see Appendix B), operator vigilance is required to monitor the patient. 504-1117A

11

25. WARNING: Manual Ventilation Constant Monitoring (Sect. 4). To avoid the risk of over inflation of the patient it is important for the operator to constantly monitor the patient pressure manometer during manual ventilation. 26. WARNING: Adequacy of Gas Supply (Sect. 4(b)(ii)) To avoid harm to the patient, ensure that ventilation can be maintained without interruption, keep a constant check on the adequacy of gas supply by observing the gas cylinder contents indicator and the gas failure visual alarm. 27. WARNING: Interpretation of ‘Breathing Detect’ Indicator (Sect. 4(d)) Actuation of the ‘breathing detect’ indicator only indicates that spontaneous breathing has been detected and that the low-pressure alarm has been reset as a consequence. The operator must still ensure that patient minute ventilation is adequate. 28. WARNING:

Heat Moisture Exchanger (HME) filter (Sect. 4(e))

If a Heat Moisture Exchanger (HME) filter is used and the patient is experiencing breathing difficulties, or there are mechanical ventilation problems, or decreases in gas exchange, always ensure that there are no blockages in the breathing system. If a blockage is found, immediately replace the breathing system or HME filter. To prevent such problems occuring, filters and HME’s should be routinely replaced in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. 29. WARNING: Use in Contaminated Atmosphere (1) (Sect. 4(g)) The ventiPAC ventilator models are suitable for use in contaminated and toxic atmospheres subject to certain limitations as described below and these should be clearly understood by those likely to use the equipment in such environments so that it is only used where appropriate. 30. WARNING: Use in Contaminated Atmosphere (2) (Sect. 4(g)) In any situations where the respirable qualities of the immediate environment are suspect, ventilation should only be carried out in the ‘No Air Mix’ mode. This ensures that only a minimum of ambient gas can enter the breathing system. 504-1117A

12

31. WARNING: MRI Use (Sect. 4(h)) When in use in a MRI environment, to prevent injury to the patient, check the pressure manometer to confirm unchanged ventilation. Also, test the high-pressure relief/alarm system by temporary circuit disconnection and occlusion of the ventilator outlet connector, both whenever the system is taken into a MRI environment, and every time the patient is positioned within the magnetic field. 32. WARNING: Cross Contamination (Sect. 5(c)) To avoid the risk of cross contamination all re usable components in the patient circuit, that can come into contact with the patient or the patient’s exhaled gas (Patient Valve and Patient Hoses) should be sterilized or disinfected as per instructions detailed in Sections 5d) and 5e) of this user manual. 33. WARNING: Servicing Or Adjustment (Sect. 6(d)) To avoid the risk of harm to the patient from an incorrectly set ventilator, servicing or adjustment of this equipment should only be carried out by competent personnel who have been trained by Smiths Medical to carry out such work. 34. WARNING: Provision of Accessories, Ancillaries and Spares for CE marked products. Sect. 6(d) & 7) The ventiPAC ventilator is manufactured and ‘CE’ marked to the requirements of 93/42/EEC. To ensure that this equipment functions as intended, use only the manufacturer’s authorised spares. 35. WARNING: Star Lumen Cross-section tubing (Sect. 7 & Appdx. D) To avoid inaccurate indications on the manometer, DO NOT use star lumen cross section tubing for the sensing line. 36. WARNING: Lithium batteries (Appendix A). Lithium batteries are of the primary type and are NOT designed to be recharged. Attempts to recharge these batteries can lead to leakage and possibly an explosion.

504-1117A

37. WARNING: Extreme environmental conditions (Appendix B). It is essential that, where this equipment is used in extreme environmental conditions outside those specified in this manual, the operator must exercise particular patient vigilance, although this may not lead to a safety hazard, performance will become more uncertain as conditions become more extreme. 38. WARNING: Dead Space Within Patient Circuits To avoid harm to the patient as a result of excessive dead space, only use recommended patient breathing circuits which have been tested to meet the tolerances stated in the standards (See Section 2(d) Point #18). (c)

CAUTIONS

Cautions warn of dangerous conditions that can occur and cause damage to the ventilator or its accessories, if you do not obey all of the instructions given in this manual. 1. CAUTION: When storing for long periods, to avoid the risk of

possible corrosion or drain of the battery, ensure that the ventilator is left in the ‘off’ position and the battery removed. (Sect. 2(d) # 15). 2. CAUTION: To ensure that the cylinder contents are not lost

during storage due to small leakages, it is recommended that the valve on the gas cylinder is turned off after use. (Sect. 2(b)13). 3. General Precautions Relating to Battery Safety, Transportation and Disposal. See Appendix A. 4. CAUTION : To avoid damage to the EP circuit, detach all EP Circuit parts from the Patient Hose prior to autoclaving. DO NOT autoclave EP Accessories. 5. CAUTION : To avoid risk of of internal corrosion within the device, use only dry, filtered gas (Sect. 2(b) & 4(b) ii).

SECTION 2: GENERAL INFORMATION (a) Intended Use The ventiPAC 200D is a portable ventilator designed for the ventilation of adults, children and infants in and outside hospitals by personnel with medical training. It is particularly suitable for ventilation during transportation and for providing rescue breathing and emergency resuscitation by well trained operators. The 200D model is especially suitable for the treatment of victims with a protected airway in rescues from toxic or non respirable atmospheres as it offers the choice of oxygen upon demand (tidal volume dependent see table in Appendix E) or ventilatory back up to the patient whilst normal breathing is being restored This CMV*/Demand feature may also be used for weaning patients back to normal breathing from controlled ventilation. These ventilators are designed to be extremely economical in their use of driving gas and the 'Air Mix' mode makes them particularly suitable for the long distance transport of patients using bottled oxygen or air (see Sect. 8(b)). WARNING: To avoid the risk of harm to the patient, the user should be aware that, when powered by compressed air, the ventiPAC cannot provide a higher % of oxygen than is present in air (i.e. 21%). The ventiPAC ventilators and associated equipment described in this manual conform to European Standard EN794-3 "Particular Requirements for Emergency and Transport Ventilators" and comply with the requirements of the European Directive for Medical Devices 93/42/EEC. WARNING: To avoid the risk of explosion or interference, where used on aircraft, the use of this equipment must be authorised by the Aviation Authority and the Aircraft Operator.

General Description

WARNING: Use of CMV/Demand Facility, because this function has characteristics specific to this range of ventilators it is important that the sections of the operating instructions describing this facility (Sections 2(b) and 4(d)) are read before this version of the ventiPAC ventilator is used so that the operator understands how the ventilator interacts with the patient during spontaneous breathing. The ventiPAC ventilator consists of a control module and a remote patient valve, connected by means of a spirally reinforced hose. (See Fig 1a) A description of controls and features on the ventiPAC ventilator is given in Section 2(d), the number reference against each description corresponds to the number reference shown in Figure 1a. The ventiPAC ventilator is a gas powered (use only dry filtered gas), time cycled ventilator which depends solely on the pressure of the supply gas for its operation. The models described in this Manual additionally incorporate an integrated electronic pressure alarm unit to alert the user to certain significant changes which may occur in the patient’s ventilation. Loss of battery power for the alarm is signalled to the user but will have no effect on the ventilation performance of the ventiPAC ventilator, nor affect the mechanically operated alarms and protection systems. CAUTION : To avoid risk of of internal corrosion within the device, use only dry, filtered gas. The control module of the ventiPAC ventilator is rugged by virtue of its thick section structural foam plastic case and the use of anti-shock mountings for the gauge, internal pneumatics and electronics. The controls are recessed to minimise the possibilities of damage. Calibrated controls for inspiratory time, expiratory time and inspiratory flow are provided to set the required ventilation pattern. An adjustable pressure relief device with an audible alarm limits the peak inspiratory pressure to the set value. An air mix control gives an FiO2 option of 0.45 or 1.0. For longer term ventilation the 0.45 FiO2 setting will normally be used and in this setting gas consumption is significantly reduced - by almost 70% - giving greatly extended cylinder duration or allowing the use of a much smaller compressor if compressed air is used as the driving gas.

WARNING: Where the non EP version of V200D is being used, to avoid the risk of harm to the patient, the user should be aware that any malfunction in the Demand valve or Breathing Circuit, including dangerous or fatal malfunctions, cannot be reliably detected by observing the Pressure Manometer. On the ventiPAC 200D ventilator, selection can be made between 'Demand' or 'CMV/Demand'. When 'CMV/Demand' is selected, the ventilator cycles at the set frequency but if a spontaneous breath is taken during an exhalation phase then this is taken from an internal demand valve. If breathing is at an adequate level for an adult, cycling will be inhibited as long as this breathing level is maintained. If breathing becomes inadequate, CMV will be restored, synchronised with the last breath. When Off (‘Demand’) is selected, only the internal demand valve is energised by the gas supply. When the patient is connected to the patient valve, any spontaneous breathing effort is satisfied by flow from the demand valve. This provides a very gas efficient method of treating a victim with a protected airway where enhanced oxygen [tidal volume dependent see table in Appendix E] is recommended as the approved therapy can also be used to protect a spontaneously breathing patient during rescue from a contaminated atmosphere. The control module is designed to be mounted in a variety of ways as described under Section 2 (e) (ii) 'Mounting Options'. A sling is available to enable the unit to be carried from the user's shoulder. It may also be carried, together with a compressed gas cylinder, within a Pneupac 'Instant Action' carrying case. A wide range of attachments and brackets is also available. The ventiPAC ventilator may be driven by oxygen or air from a compressed gas cylinder, pipeline system, or one of the airPAC portable compressors.

Controls and Features (Figures 1a and 1b)

1.

Controls for Inspiratory and Expiratory Times.

These calibrated rotary control knobs give continuous adjustment of time over the range of 0.5 to 3.0 seconds for inspiration and 0.5 to 6.0 seconds for expiration.

504-1117A

17

Together, these controls set the breathing frequency which can be calculated as 60/TI+TE. e.g. if the inspiratory time is set to 0.75 second and the expiratory time 1.25 seconds then the frequency is 60/1.25 + 0.75 = 60/2 = 30 breaths per minute. The ratio of Inspiratory Time to Expiratory Time (I:E ratio) can be set as required. Typically this will be set at 1:2 or within the range 1:1 to 1:3. 2.

Frequency Flow Control

This rotary control knob gives continuous adjustment of delivered ventilatory flow over the range 0.1 to 0.75 litres per second. Between 0.25 and 0.75 L/sec this flow is relatively unaffected by lung compliance and airway resistance or by switching between 'Air Mix' and 'No Air Mix'. At lower flow settings with 'Air mix' selected the delivered flow becomes increasingly dependent upon the inflation pressure being generated as explained in Section 4(c). The product of flow (in L/sec) and inspiratory time (in seconds) gives the delivered tidal volume (in litres) e.g. if the flow is set to 0.5 L/sec and the inspiratory time to 1.0 second the delivered tidal volume is 0.5 x 1.0 = 0.5 litre = 500ml. 3.

Main Pneumatic Switch

This knob operates a rotary switch to select 'Demand' only or the 'CMV*/Demand' facility which provides controlled mandatory ventilation to non breathing patients but which allows inhibition if an adult patient commences spontaneous breathing to an adequate level. WARNING: Use of CMV/Demand Facility, because this function has characteristics specific to this range of ventilators it is important that the sections of the operating instructions describing this facility (Sections 2(b) and 4 (d)) are read before this version of the ventiPAC ventilator is used so that the operator understands how the ventilator interacts with the patient during spontaneous breathing. Selection of 'CMV*/Demand' also switches on the electronic alarm but for the first 60 seconds of the ventilator operation most of the alarm functions are automatically suspended in order to allow time to apply the ventilator to the patient. Selection of 'Demand' switches off the alarm unit.
