Inside the circuit, the incoming pressurized medical gas, is sent to the
mixing block by means of a device operated by a valve controlled by the
electronic circuit of the device. When the device is turned off the
pressurized medical gas, even if introduced in the device, is not delivered
because intercepted by the electrovalve in closed position. Everything is
controlled by the electronic circuit of the device, which also controls the
main breathing parameters. This diagram is provided only to illustrate the
operation of the device. It is not allowed to

INSTRUCTION FOR USE
Connection to the pneumatic supply
After the device has been connected to the power supply according to the
provided specifications, connect the pneumatic supply hose to the socket
placed on the pressure reducer installed on the oxygen tank. Insert then the
probe inside the socket on the connections side of the lung ventilator
pressing until it clicks, confirming the proper connection.
To verify the integrity of the electrical connection, slightly pull the
connector verifying that no disconnection happens
For the pneumatic supply, check that it is properly connected slightly pulling the probe doing a little rotation at the same time.
Connect the breathing tube to the output marked with “PATIENT CIRUIT” on the
connections side of the lung ventilator. The tube must be inserted for about
2,5 cm. If the insertion is difficult, the tube can be slightly rotated during
insertion making the operation easier.
The breathing tube must not rotate easily and freely. If this happens, it is
an obvious sign of damage to the hose or of its incompatibility with the
device.
In these
conditions the device is ready for use, and this is identified by the green
LED marked “EXT. SOURCE”
To disconnect the device from the pneumatic supply, push the outer plastic part of the socket in axial direction while pulling out the probe.
Turn on the device
Turn on the device pressing on the button identified by the symbol “
”.
The device will perform an auto diagnostic test by turning on all LEDs for
about 1 second and emitting 3 short sounds.
When this test is concluded, the device automatically start the ventilation in
“Controlled mode” according to the set parameters.
If the device is not working or there are different visual or acoustic
signals, refer to the paragraph explaining the warning signs or the section
TROUBLESHOOTING.
On the frontal panel will be displayed the ventilation mode, the breathing
phases and any alarms or informations related to the power or pneumatic
supplies.
Setting breathing parameters
On the frontal panel there are 4 adjustment knobs. Breathing parameters must be adjusted before applying the mask to the patient. During these adjustments, the physician using the device must consider the patient’s weight, the Tidal Volume required by the patient and its clinical conditions.
Volume minute adjustment
The Volume minute is the volume of gas delivered to the patient in a minute.
It differs from the delivered volume for each breath (or Tidal Volume) as this
is closely related to the breathing frequency according to the relation
.
The device allows setting between 2 and 20 L/min
Breathing frequency adjustment
Rotating the frequency adjustment knob, is possible to set the number of
breaths per minute.
The frequency has consequences both on the tidal volume according to the
mentioned relation and on the activation level of the high pressure alarm. The
high pressure alarm is activated at 25mbar if the frequency is set higher than
20 breaths/min and at 60mbar if the frequency is less than 20 breaths/min.
The frequency setting, because of the constant I:E ratio, has also a direct
effect on the duration of the inspiration phase according to the relation:
, where
F is the frequency set by the operator. The time so calculated is expressed in
seconds.
Pressure limit adjustment
Through this setting, is possible to limit the maximum pressure in the
breathing circuit to the desired value. If the pressure limit is exceeded, the
volume minute is no longer guaranteed.
The device allow settings between 20 and 60mbar.
Trigger adjustment
The trigger is a device able to synchronize the insufflation with the
beginning of spontaneous breathing of the patient. The lung ventilator doesn’t
consider the trigger setting when is operating in CMV mode.
When the patient produces a negative pressure in the upper breathing circuit
higher than the trigger level (in absolute value) , the device will start a
new breath.
This ventilation technique is commonly used for patients able to sustain
inhalation work for brief intervals. The effort made by the patient for the
spontaneous inspiration creates a negative pressure inside the ventilator.
This negative pressure is detected by the trigger mechanism which does begin
the insufflation. The effort (negative pressure) needed to activate the
trigger can be adjusted and progressively increased in order to encourage the
patient to a higher breathing work, re-educating and training his respiratory
muscles.
The adjustment range is form -2 to -12 mbar.
Ventilation modes
CMV Mode
This mode is selected by default when the unit is turned on. It consist of
insufflation of the medical gas to the patient according to the parameters set
with the adjustment knobs.
he inspiratory and expiratory time ratio is constantly 1:2.
This ventilation mode can be manually selected pressing on the button CMV
placed on the frontal panel. When selected, the CMV led will turn on.
A/CV Mode
This ventilation mode can be selected by pressing the button A/CV placed
on the frontal panel. The dedicated led will turn on.
In this ventilation mode, the device provides an assured number of inflations
per minute according to the parameters set, operating similarly as in the CMV
mode. Furthermore, thanks to the trigger mechanism, if the patients begins a
new breath within the next assured inflation, the device anticipates the
inflation according to the parameters set. Such inflation will be considered
as the first of a new theoretical cycle of assured inflations, unless the
patient anticipates further ones. It is therefore fundamental to set a trigger
value suitable for patient’s clinical condition.
This ventilation mode does not provide the activation of the APNEA alarm.
The trend of the inspiratory and expiratory phases is displayed on the LEDs
placed on the front panel, making the interpretation of the patient response
easier and allowing better adjustment of parameters.
The ventilation should always begin with the trigger level requiring less effort (-2mbar).
TVM mode
This ventilation mode can be selected by pressing the button TVM turning
on the dedicated light.
This ventilation mode is generally suitable for patients having very high
breathing autonomy.
Settings of the ventilation parameters should use the same criteria described
for the A/CV mode.
The device starts a new breath only if this is triggered by the patient
according to the trigger setting. If the patient doesn’t start a spontaneous
breath within 25 second from the end of the previous breath, the device
activates the APNEA alarm but it WILL NOT SWITCH to the controlled ventilation
mode.
Air Mix/No Air Mix Selection
The lever placed on the front panel, allow to choose between two available
FiO2 levels.
If in NO AIR MIX mode, the ventilator delivers only the medical gas coming
from the main medical gas supply to which the device is connected. If the
supply system delivers oxygen, the ventilator will deliver to the patient an
oxygen concentration of 100%. Selecting the AIR MIX mode, the ventilator draws
60% of gas from the medical gas supply and the remaining 40% from the
environment where the device used. In this case, if the main gas supply
deliver oxygen, the concentration of this gas administered to the patient will
be of 60%.
It is inappropriate to use the Air Mix mode in case of polluted environment.
The device has a filter for incoming air subjected to periodic replacement as
specified in paragraph 12
Usage
The physician who directs rescue operation is responsible for the choice of
the device to be used and for the clinical assessments needed for the proper
use of this device and for the choice of the proper ventilation parameters.
Patient circuits used for the ventilation must be chosen among those approved
by the manufacturer. For ventilation of pediatric patients, a pediatric
patient valve must be used.
The residual pressure of the medical gas supply must be regularly checked to
ensure enough autonomy. The achievement of low pressure in the oxygen supply,
would result in the shutdown of the device and in the activation of an alarm
signal.
The device provides alarms intended to limit risks of wrong adjustments or
needed for a safe use of the product. Alarms can be silenced by pressing the
button identified by the symbol placed on the frontal panel. The audio paused
condition can be identified by the illumination of the LEDs of the write
“MUTE”. The audio pause function has no effect on lights and alarms that are
not active when the mute button is pressed. The physician who directs rescue
operation is responsible for the choice of the device to be used and for the
clinical assessments needed for the proper use of this device and for the
choice of the proper ventilation parameters.

are not active when the mute button is pressed.
For safety reasons, the alarms are not automatically disabled when the alarm
condition no longer exist. To disable the audio paused function and to
terminate all active alarms, press the ALARM RESET button.
The device has an internal 12V battery. It’s also present a 9V backup battery
needed for the operation of the alarms of the main battery charge status.
When the external power supply is active, the write EXT. SOURCE will light
continuously. If connected to the external power supply and the battery is not
fully charged, the charging will automatically start and the write ON
CHARGE will light. Flashing of the write ON CHARGE, identifies a
particular condition that does not allow to charge the battery. (See par.
11.6).
The pressure in the patient circuit is always shown on the Manovacuometer
placed on the front panel.
In standard conditions it is suggested to remove any implants, evaluate the
need of Broncho aspiration, hyperextend the patient’s head and, to ensure that
the airways are clear, position the face mask over the mouth and nose checking
the adherence of the soft part of the mask on the patient’s face, in order to
obtain a sealed system. It is important to verify that the mask is suitable
for the patient; in the early stages of the ventilation it is suggested to
force the adhesion of the mask to the patient’s face.
The adjustment method of the volume minute knob (by steps), prevents changes
in the set parameters due to accidental contacts.
Resistance of the airways due to obstructions or external cardiac massage does
not cause a variation of the respiratory volume and frequency. In case of
reduction of the compliance, the ventilator will react with a rise of
respiratory pressure at a constant volume.
During ventilation, constantly monitor the patient’s physiological response in
order to verify if the set parameters are correct or to ensure absence of
complications.
Note:
The medical gas flow is not influenced by pressure. The ventilator does not
monitor the oxygen concentration (mechanical mixing). Unless otherwise
specified the parameters are expressed in ATPD (Ambient, Temperature and
Pressure Dry).
At the end of service, turn off the device by pressing the power button for
about two seconds, shut down the pneumatic supply and proceed with the
necessary maintenance activities.

- Be careful to ensure that no kind of solution enters inside the oxygen socket.
- If a disposable patient circuit is used, replace it.
- If a reusable patient circuit is used, disassemble every part and sterilize according to a validated procedure.
- Similarly, replace or sterilize the mask.
- After confirming the ventilator and all accessories are completely dry, is possible to reconnect the device to the power supply.
The use of high pressure water is prohibited, because it should penetrate into the device causing risks of corrosion of components and risks of electric leakage and short circuits. During every cleaning procedure, check that were not used any kind of lubricants.
Ordinary maintenance
Establish a maintenance program and periodic testing routine, identifying
an employee responsible for this. The person to whom the ordinary maintenance
of the device is entrusted must ensure the basic requirements foreseen by the
manufacturer in following paragraphs are inspected.
All maintenance and periodic servicing activities must be registered and
kept together with the servicing reports. These documents have to be kept for
a period of 10 years after the disposal of the device itself. This register
will be made available to the competent authorities and/or manufacturer if
requested.
Routine maintenance of the device must be carried out by operators in possession of specific qualifications, trained and experienced in the use and maintenance of the device.
The operator must always wear adequate personal protection such as gloves and mask, etc. during all checking and cleaning procedures.
Checks to be carried out before and after each use and at deadline indicated above, are as follows:
- General functionality of the device
- Cleanliness of the device (remember that the failure of cleaning may cause the risk of cross infections)
- Correct fixation of all nuts, bolts and screws
- No structural part is deformed or compromised
- Proper operation of the pressure limiting adjustment controls. With the device turned on, occlude the patient output and verify that the Manovacuometer shows the pressure value set within the tolerances described in the technical data. Verify proper functionality of the frequency knob setting a value and measuring the time between two mandatory ventilations. The time in seconds between the beginnings of two ventilations is equal to 60/Frequency.
9V alarm battery check
The 9 V backup battery must be regularly checked or replaced depending on its
use. Using a tester ensure that the voltage on the battery is not lower than
40%. The correct polarity when connecting the 9 V battery is guaranteed by
one-directional connector.
The alarm battery must be replaced once a year even if in good
conditions.
Internal battery status check
The device is powered by a rechargeable battery. A new battery is never fully
charged. The battery recharges automatically when the device is connected to
the external power source.
If the device is not used for a long time, the battery must be recharged.
Do not keep the unit in charge beyond the time specified. Fully discharging
the battery and / or maintaining the equipment continuously powered from
external source, will results in a significant reduction of the operating life
of the battery.
The internal battery must be replaced once a year even if in good conditions.
All batteries should be removed if the device needs storage. The absence of the internal battery should be indicated on the device (for example with a label) so that the device will not be accidentally used without the internal power supply. To limit the battery aging, it is recommended to carry out separate storage in an environment with a temperature between -20°C and +35°C. After storage, the battery needs to be recharged.
Fuse replacement
Spencer 190 uses two fuses type F1L250V (Fusible Fast 5x20mm 1A). The
manufacturer assumes no liability related to the use of spare parts not
meeting the specifications provided.
The fuse is a protection mean for the device, which interrupts the flow of
current to the ventilator if it exceeds the maximum value acceptable the
device.
If the fuse blows, the device will continue to work with the internal power
supply (battery) until it is exhausted, but will not be possible to recharge
it or use it by connecting to an external power source.
If the interruption envolves the internal battery, the device can be used only
if connected to the external power source.
This condition will be identified by the informations described for the event
“ Primary battery failure ”.
Both fuses are placed on the side panel of the device and can be replaced
removing the fuse holder with a screw driver.
Verify that the filament is actually broken in order to ensure that the
problem is not to be found in other components.
Insert the new fuse in the removable fuse holder and screw again.
Both fuses must be replaced every year
Battery replacement
The annual maintenance of the device requires, among other activities provided
by the manufacturer, the replacement of all batteries.
If a battery replacement is needed before the annual revision, follow these
instructions:
Verify that the device is turned off and disconnected from the power supply.
Using a coin or a screwdriver, open the battery compartment.
Pull out the battery pack and disconnect the connector by lifting the locking
tab.
Similarly, disconnect the 9V battery from its connector.
Connect the new batteries and place them inside the battery compartment and
close the cover.
The backup battery is the type 6LF22 or 6LR61 9V commercially
available. Its proper connection is ensured by the connector allowing a single
way of insertion.
