CORVENT IFU109 Respond 19 Ventilator
INSTRUCTIONS
Suctioning the Patient
Suctioning is required to remove mucus from the patient lungs during
mechanical ventilation. This is associated with risk of false triggers and/or
erroneous false technical faults, such as a Disconnect alarm being
annunciated.
Breath delivery will continue during suctioning. In order to begin suction,
set the O2% to 100% for a few minutes before initiating suctioning, if
in the medical opinion of the physician this is necessary. Any Ventilation
modes and settings can be used for closed suctioning.
Setting and Delivering Oxygen
An alarm will NOT sound on the Ventilator if there is an interruption to the O2 supply. If the supply is interrupted, it could result in the FiO2 being lower than the amount set on the unit (down to 21%). Appropriate patient monitoring should be used, as medically indicated, such as an alarming pulse oximeter and the required external alarming Oxygen monitor.
RESPOND 19 Ventilator Setup
An external monitor must be used to verify Oxygen accuracy and must be used to
finely adjust the input flow rate for the targeted O2%. This monitor will also
indicate a loss of gas supply via the low oxygen alarm target that is user
set. Set the monitor’s Oxygen High and Low alarms to 5‐10% above and below the
intended oxygen percent target to indicate that the gas supply is not properly
delivering flow or has lost supply.
Personnel must become thoroughly familiar with the Operators Manual prior to using the RESPOND 19 Ventilator on a patient.
Changing Breath Modes
Breath Types and Running SST in Standby Mode
*SST Troubleshooting Information ( will align next to failed parameter):**
- C (Compliance) may mean an incorrect patient circuit is used
- Leak may mean a disconnect is present
- Ri (Inspiratory Resistance) may mean Insp. Filter is missing or occluded
- Re (Expiratory Resistance) may mean Exp. Filter is missing or occluded
- Rhme (HME Resistance) may mean HME is missing or occluded
Ensure that the Patient is NOT connected to the Ventilator when changing Ventilation Types and is NOT connected when running SST. These functions can ONLY be performed in STANDBY MODE.
RESPOND 19 Ventilator Troubleshooting
-
LCD Screen Blank, displaying Solid White Boxes, or Display Erratic
Momentarily press the Run/Standby button quickly. This will reset the LCD and Membrane Panel User Interface. -
Membrane Panel User Interface Not Responsive
Power cycle unit to reset the system if the problem persists.
-
Disconnect or Flow Sensor Not Connected Alarm that will not clear
Check all Patient Circuit connections and sampling ports. Adjust the Disconnect alarm limit if needed. Replace Flow Sensor Cable. Replace Flow Sensor. -
Nothing happens when the device is plugged in and power is turned on
Check power cable connected to the system at the wall outlet (red plug) and into the universal power supply.
Check to ensure that the power cable is locked into rear of the Ventilator.
Try different power supply.
Ensure the switch on the rear of unit is turned to ‘On’ state when attempting to run the ventilator. -
