CAREvent® ATV/ATV+ & MRI – User Manual

1.6. Device Description
The CAREvent® ATV+ and MRI consist of a ruggedly constructed, portable control module, input hose and optional single use (or reusable where available) patient circuit. The ergonomically designed control groupings facilitate the selection and setting of the breathing parameters. The colour groupings provided on the controls adds to this ease of use concept.
The unique pneumatic alarm for low input pressure improves the level of safety for the patient by warning the operator of any problems of insuffIcient or failed gas supply.
The air mix capability of the ventilator improves the operating time on bottled oxygen for long duration transports. The extremely low drive gas consumption ensures full utilization of the cylinder contents.
Controls The controls provided are as follows:
· Ventilation Frequency · Pressure Relief (Proximal Airway Pressure) · Minute Volume · Delivered Oxygen Concentration (%) · Manual Ventilation · Manual/AUTO Selector · CPAP/PEEP Control · BSI Alarm Silence Button
Visual Indicators · Proximal Airway Pressure Gauge (cmH2O) · Gas Supply Status Indicator · BSI Alarm Indicator
Connections Connections are provided on the side of the ventilator for the Oxygen Input and the Gas Output.
1.7. Principles of Operation
The CAREvent® ATV+ and MRI are time-cycled, Intermittent Positive Pressure devices providing a range of frequencies of ventilation and Minute Volume settings to provide a comprehensive range of delivered tidal volumes and ventilation rates. The design of the micro-pneumatic circuitry in the

CAREvent® ATV/ATV+ & MRI – User Manual

7

Automatic Transport Ventilator maintains a consistent I:E ratio of 1:2 across the Minute Volume/frequency combinations to optimise the exchange of gases in the alveoli. This helps avoid the risk of inconsistent ventilations and protracted expiratory times that may cause additional physiological acidosis or short inspiratory times that may not allow for complete alveolar filling or may generate high airway pressures.
Note: The design of these ventilators does not incorporate a negative pressure phase during either automatic or manual ventilation.
1.8. Modes of Operation
Automatic Ventilation Mode In the automatic mode (selected by turning the Manual/AUTO Selector on the ventilator control panel to AUTO) the ventilator will supply the patient with positive pressure ventilations of a frequency and minute volume as selected using the Ventilation Frequency and Minute Volume Selectors on the front panel. The I:E ratio is maintained at a constant 1:2 to ensure that good gas exchange takes place in the lung.
Manual Ventilation Mode In the AUTO mode, when the Manual Override Button is depressed, the ventilator will cease automatic cycling and will deliver a constant flowrate equivalent to that selected on the flowrate selector for as long as the button is depressed. Releasing the button will allow the ventilator to recycle into an automatic ventilation mode following a delay period of approximately 20 seconds. This delay allows the operator sufficient time to provide chest compressions or initiate a further manual breath should they so wish. If the Manual Override Button is depressed for too long the patient is protected from high airway pressure by the Pressure Relief system.
Note: During the provision of chest compressions during mask Ventilated CPR, the BSI alarm may activate if the mask seal is not maintained or if there is insufficient positive intra-pulmonary pressure created during the compression phrase to disable the alarm. Under these circumstances the BSI alarm acts as a warning of the impending recommencement of automatic cycling.

CAREvent® ATV/ATV+ & MRI – User Manual

In the Manual mode, depressing the Manual override button will allow the operator to manually ventilate the patient at a flowrate equivalent to the Minute Volume selected.
Demand Breathing During automatic ventilation, the Demand Breathing mode will allow the patient to commence spontaneous breathing through the ventilator while causing the automatic cycling to cease. As with the Manual Override, there is an increase in the expiratory time before the next automatic breath is delivered to allow the patient to continue demand breathing. This system ensures that the patient receives a sufficient minute volume should their inspiratory efforts be erratic. Demand Breathing is available to the patient in both the inspiratory and expiratory phases of the ventilation cycle.
In the Manual mode the patient can demand breathe at their own rate and volume.
Note: It is important to constantly observe the patient’s respirations to ensure that adequate perfusion is occurring.
Note: Small children may not be able to demand at a sufficient flowrate to disable the automatic cycling.
Note: If used in conjunction with external chest compressions the Auto Circuit Shut Off function may be actuated should the depth of compression create sufficient tidal volume on chest recoil. Under these circumstances a manual breath may be delivered (if deemed necessary) between sets of compressions.
Adjustable Pressure Relief This control allows the operator to vary the maximum delivered airway pressure. This is achieved by diverting the excess delivered volume to atmosphere should the set airway pressure be reached.
Air Mix Mode To conserve oxygen during long transports or when a patient’s respiratory condition demands an oxygen concentration of less than 100%, the air mix mode can be selected. This reduces the oxygen concentration to 60%. In this mode the ventilator entrains

CAREvent® ATV/ATV+ & MRI – User Manual

ambient air into the system and automatically reduces the oxygen flow to maintain a consistent tidal volume. By using this mode the operating time on the cylinder supply is significantly increased.
Note: Due to the design of the micro-pneumatic circuit, increasing pulmonary resistance has little effect on the delivered tidal volume or respiratory rate. Research has shown that decreasing pulmonary compliance in the infant Minute Volume settings may give a minimal increase in the delivered oxygen concentration when used in the Air Mix mode.
Emergency Air Intake System for Gas Supply Failure In accordance with the International Standards for this type of device, the ventilator is equipped with a failsafe Emergency Air Intake circuit which allows the spontaneously breathing patient to draw ambient air through the circuit should the gas supply fail.
1.9. Alarms and Gauges
The alarm systems in the Automatic Transport Ventilator provide an audible indication of any inconsistencies in the patients breathing and warn of a loss of driving pressure from the gas supply. The alarms function as follows:
Low Input Pressure Alarm – Gas Supply A low frequency oscillating alarm occurs when the gas supply reaches the minimum safe operating pressure. (See also Gas Supply Status indicator).

Airway Pressure Gauge Located on the front panel of the ventilator, this gauge provides the operator with a visual indication of the airway pressure being reached during the ventilation cycle.
1.10. Accessories
Supply Hose The supply hose is a standard armoured oxygen hose with a 9/16 DISS threaded connection for the ventilator.
Single Use and Reusable Patient Circuits The Single Use Deluxe Transport Ventilation Circuits and Deluxe Reusable Patient Circuits are comprised of a patient valve housing and 22 mm tubing. The expiratory port is configured to accept either 30 or 19 mm PEEP valves. The 22 mm corrugated tubing is easily attached to the patient circuit output connector on the side of the ventilator. (fig 5.)
Note: 1. The choice of using either a Single Use or Reusable circuit is
at the discretion of the user. Only patient circuits supplied by O-Two Medical Technologies Inc. should be used. 2. The use of a Bacterial/Viral filter is recommended to reduce the potential for cross infection and contamination of the reusable patient circuit. If used, the Bacterial/Viral filter must be used on a single patient basis. 3. The use of a Bacterial/Viral Filter in conjunction with a reusable patient circuit does not guarantee that the patient circuit will remain free of contamination. 4. The use of a bacterial/viral Filter on any of the CAREvent® circuits will increase inspiratory resistance and if used on the distal side of the patient valve will increase deadspace.
Note: Careful consideration should be given to the use of a reusable patient circuit on more than one patient. Single use circuits are not designed for use on more than one patient and must be discarded after each use. The manufacturer recommends that circuits are used on a per patient basis and reusable circuits should be cleaned and single use circuits discarded, after each use.
Note: The patient valve assembly is flow direction sensitive. Ensure that the patientcircuit is attached to the ventilator correctly.

Testing of the Individual Features of the Ventilator. The following features can be individually tested during the preuse Functional Check:
1. Airway Over Pressure Alarm, Pressure Gauge Function and Pressure Relief Adjustment Function
2. Low Input Pressure Alarm 3. Frequency Adjustment 4. Flow Adjustment 5. Air Mix 6. Manual Ventilation 7. Demand Valve Function and Automatic Circuit Shut Off 8. CPAP/PEEP Control 9. BSI Alarm
1. Airway Over Pressure Alarm, Pressure Gauge Function and Pressure Relief Adjustment Function With the ventilator connected to the 60 PSI source, set the ventilator cycling at 12 BPM with a Minute Volume control setting of 14 L. Set the adjustable Airway Pressure Control to 20 cmH2O. Remove the Test Lung from the Patient Connector and occlude the Patient Connector outlet. This will cause the Airway Over Pressure Alarm to activate and a continuous tone will be heard during the inspiratory cycle of the ventilator.
To confirm the pressure relief setting, observe the needle on the Airway Pressure Gauge during the inspiratory cycle and ensure that the needle reaches the 20 cmH2O mark. Now turn the Adjustable Airway Pressure Selector to the 60 cmH2O position. Repeat the test and observe that the needle reaches the 60 cmH2O mark.
2. Low Input Pressure Alarm
Note: To fully test this function it is necessary to have a supply regulator with an adjustable output pressure. (Not supplied) Checking of the alarm can be undertaken by simply slowly closing the cylinder valve.
With the adjustable outlet pressure regulator set with an outlet pressure of 60 PSI, set the ventilator cycling at 12 BPM with a Minute Volume control setting of 14 L.

18

CAREvent® ATV/ATV+ & MRI – User Manual

As the ventilator cycles, gradually reduce the outlet pressure of the regulator until you hear the Low Input Pressure Alarm activate. This will be a slow, mid pitched, pulsed tone. Continue to decrease the regulator outlet pressure and the tone will gradually slow in frequency until it becomes a continuous tone. This indicates that the drive gas is now exhausted to the point where the ventilator will no longer function correctly.
3. Frequency Adjustment With the ventilator connected to the 60 PSI source, set the ventilator cycling at 8 BPM with a Minute Volume control setting of 6 L. Connect the Test Lung to the Patient Connector and turn the ventilator Manual/Auto Selector to the Auto position.
After every 5 breaths rotate the frequency control counter clockwise to the next setting and observe the increasing frequency of ventilation in the Test Lung. Repeat for every setting. If required, a stopwatch may be used to check the frequency in each setting.
4. Minute Volume Adjustment With the ventilator connected to the 60 PSI source, set the ventilator cycling at 18 BPM with a Minute Volume control setting of 2 L. Connect the Test Lung to the Patient Connector and turn the ventilator Manual/Auto Selector to the Auto position.
After every 5 breaths rotate the Minute Volume control counter clockwise to the next setting and observe the increasing expansion of the Test Lung. Repeat for every setting. The increasing expansion of the lung indicates an increase in the delivered tidal volume, as the frequency remains constant so the delivered Minute Volume (tidal volume x frequency) will increase with each increase in flowrate.
Note: When testing the lower Minute Volume settings using the test lung provided, there may be insufficient volume delivered with each breath to attain an airway pressure that will cause the BSI Alarm to be shut off. Under these circumstances simply depress the BSI Mute Button to silence the alarm.

With the ventilator connected to the 60 PSI medical oxygen source, set the frequency control to 8 BPM and the Minute Volume Selector set at 14 L, attach the oxygen monitor to the outlet of the patient connector. Turn the Air Mix control to the 100% setting and verify that the oxygen concentration, using the oxygen monitor, is 100%.
Now turn the Air Mix control to the 60% setting and again verify (using the oxygen monitor) that the oxygen concentration is in the range of 54 to 66%.
6. Manual Ventilation With the ventilator connected to the 60 PSI source turn the Manual/AUTO Selector to the AUTO position. Set the frequency control to 14 BPM and the Minute Volume Selector to the 6 L position. Allow the ventilator to cycle automatically for 5 breaths.
Depress the Manual Ventilation Button located on the front of the ventilator. Hold the button in and gas will flow to the test lung for as long as the button is depressed.
Release the button and the automatic cycling will restart with a delay of approximately 20 seconds.
7. Demand Valve Function and Automatic Circuit Shut Off With the ventilator connected to the 60 PSI source, set the ventilator cycling at 12 BPM with a Minute Volume control setting of 14 L. Turn the Manual / AUTO Selector to AUTO and with the ventilator cycling, apply a vacuum to the patient connector equivalent to a flowrate of 30 L/min for a minimum of 1 second. The demand valve will provide a flowrate equivalent to that demanded and the automatic cycling will cease.
Remove the vacuum from the patient connector and check for the automatic cycling restart after a delay of 5-8 seconds.
Note: The vacuum source can be as simple as a 500 ml calibration syringe.

8. BSI Alarm With the Patient Circuit attached to the ventilator attach a test lung to the 15/22 mm adapter. Set the frequency control to 10 BPM and the Minute Volume Selector to the 6 L position. Turn the ventilator to AUTO and allow it to cycle for 5 breaths. Remove the test lung and time the delay until the BSI alarm sounds. Depress the silence button and time the delay until the alarm re-starts.
9. CPAP/PEEP Control With the Patient Circuit attached to the ventilator attach a test lung to the 15/22 mm adapter. Set the frequency control to 20 BPM and the Minute Volume Select or to the 2 L position. Turn the ventilator to AUTO and allow it to cycle for 5 breaths. Slowly open the CPAP/PEEP control and monitor the gauge. As the control is rotated the baseline pressure should increase.
3. Operating Instructions 3.1. Setting of the Ventilation Parameters
The setting of the ventilation parameters is dependent upon the patient’s size, condition and the clinical parameters required to be provided to the patient by the operator. The controls should be set according to the established protocols to which the operators perform their tasks.

This chart gives an easy reference to the delivered tidal volumes provided by the different combinations of frequency of respiration and minute volume.
3.3. Operation in Extreme Conditions
Operation of the ventilator in environmental conditions outside of those detailed in this manual may result in a reduction in the ventilator’s performance. In extreme cold weather a slowing down of the frequency of ventilation may be seen with a corresponding increase in the delivered tidal volume. In high temperature environments the effect is not noticeable in terms of delivered ventilations but may cause excessive wear in the ventilator components over time.
Operation of the ventilator under supply pressures outside those detailed in this manual may result in a reduction in the ventilator’s performance. Input pressures below the minimum stated will cause the low input pressure alarm to function and will, as the pressure falls to the point where the alarm is constant, cause the ventilator to cease cycling.
Input pressures higher than that recommended in this manual may result in a risk of internal component failure if the pressure exceeds three times the maximum working pressure stated.
4. After Use Cleaning and Testing 4.1. Dismantling and Cleaning
After use turn off the ventilator and disconnect the supply hose from the gas supply. Disconnect the patient circuit from the gas outlet on the side of the ventialtor and either (a) discard the circuit if it is designed for single use or (b) process the reusable circuit following your normal protocols. Disinfect using a legally marketed, commercially available, hard surface disinfectant solution which is compatible with the materials in accordance to local protocols.The ventilator can then be cleaned using a mild soap solution and warm water and a soft nail brush to remove ingrained contamination.
WARNING
Do not immerse the ventilator in any solutions. Do not use chlorine based cleaning agents. If the ventilator is accidentally submerged in any liquid it should be shaken to remove as much of the liquid
as possible and then the ventilator should be returned to the manufacturer for factory service.
