Control Area
The bottom part of the screen, displays one of the following sets of parameters/selection options:
1. In the Parameters screen - main ventilation parameters (this is the default screen in standby and ventilation modes. The display switches automatically to Parameters from the Extended or Technical screens if not operated for XX minutes)
2. In the Extended screen – additional ventilation parameters
3. In Technical screen – technical data and selection options
Patient Monitoring Area
The middle section of the screen, displays the patient's monitored parameters at all times on all screens to ensure availability of continuous monitoring data during ventilation
Alarm and Power Management Area
The top section of the screen, displays alarms and cautions according to their priority, and the batteries state and status
Patient Circuit Set-up
Exhalation Valve
Exhalation Drive Line
Flow Transducer Line
Flow Orifice
Quick Connector
Inspiratory Limb
Attaching the Patient Circuit
1. Attach the quick connector to its socket on the front panel and insure it is tightly secured
2. Attach the 22 mm patient circuit to the Gas Output on the front panel
3. When using an HME filter, attach the HME filter to the flow measurement orifice
Circuit Test
Calibration is required each time an exhalation valve is replaced:
1. Connect the patient circuit (the side which is attached to the patient) to an adult (500 ml) test lung
2. Press the On/Off button once to enter Settings mode
3. Press the Technical button once, and then tap the Valve Cal button
4. Press Enter and follow the instructions on the display
5. If the calibration was completed successfully “Cal Completed” is displayed
6. If calibration fails, the message “Cal Failed” is displayed. Check the integrity of the circuit, connections, and test lung, and recalibrate
7. When calibration is finished, remove the test lung and press Enter or Cancel to exit
Ventilation Set-up
è To turn on the ventilator: Press the On/Off button for 3 sec
è To adjust control values:
o Select the parameters by taping the relevant control button
o Adjust the numeric value using the Up/Down button
o Accept the value by taping the relevant control button again, or by pressing Enter. New value will be accepted if another control button is taped or after 5 seconds with no activity
è To cancel parameter adjustment: Press the CANCEL button within 5 seconds
è To turn off the ventilator:
o Press the On/Off button and then press and hold the On/Off button again for 3 seconds
à Control Parameters
Ptrig (sensitivity) (-9.9 to 0 cmH20) - The Ptrig LED indicator illuminates each time the airway pressure reaches the set Ptrig level. Ptrig value is adjusted using the Up/Down button
PEEP / CPAP (3 to 30 cmH20) – Sets the baseline pressure during the exhalation phase. In Pressure Control ventilation PEEP is limited to no more than 5 cmH2O below the Pressure Control setting. PEEP value is adjusted using the Up/Down button
PSV (0 to 60 cmH20) – Sets the added support pressure for spontaneous breaths in SIMV and SPONT modes. The value of PEEP + PSV cannot exceed 60 cmH2O. PSV value is adjusted using the Up/Down button
¦ (Frequency) (1 to 99 b/min) - Sets the frequency of breaths. In ACMV mode, ¦ determines the number of time-triggered breaths; in SIMV mode, it determines the total number of mandatory breaths. ¦ value is adjusted using the Up/Down button
Ti (0.1 to 3 sec) - Sets the inspiratory period in mandatory breaths. This control button appears only if Ti is selected in the Ti/FLOW control button on the Extended screen. Ti value is adjusted using the Up/Down button
Flow (6 to 100 L/min) - Sets the mandatory flow (volume control). This control button appears only if FLOW is selected in the Ti/FLOW control button on the Extended screen. Ti value is adjusted using the Up/Down button
PCV / VCV - Used to select the ventilator submode
VCV (0.1 to 2.2 L) - Sets the mandatory tidal volume for the VCV submode
PCV (5 to 60 cmH20) - Sets the target pressure for the PCV submode
Mode - Used to select the ventilator mode (ACMV, SIMV, SPONT)
à Alarms Setting
Low P, High P – Sets the low and high pressure alarm values (3 to 98 cmH2O and 4 to 99 cmH20 respectively). Adjusted using the Up/Down button
Low MV, High MV – Sets the low and hight minute ventilation alarm values (1.1 to 50 L/min and 0.1 to50 L/min respectively). Adjusted using the Up/Down button
Monitoring
Ppeak (0 to 99 cmH20) – Presents peak inspiratory pressure
P base (0 to 99 cmH20) – Presents baseline airway pressure at the end of expiration
P mean (0 to 99 cmH20) – Presents mean airway pressure at the end of expiration
Vte (0 to 9.99 L) – Presents expiratory tidal volume
Vti (0 to 9.99 L) – Presents inspiratory tidal volume
MVe (0 to 9.99 L/min) – Presents expiratory minute volume
MVi (0 to 9.99 L/min) – Presents inspiratory minute volume
Actual (0 to 99 b/min) – Presents the total number of patient or time activated breaths in a minute
I:E (1:99 to 3:1)
PIF (6 to 100 L/min) – Presents Peak Inspiratory Flow
FiO2 (21% to 100% O2) – Presents the percent of Inspired Oxygen in the gas delivered by the Flight 60
Additional Functions
Alarm Reset – Pressed once the Audio Pause/Alarm Reset silences the audible alarm; pressed again the Audio Pause/Alarm Reset clears latched alarm LEDs
Manual Breath – Allows a user initiated inflation; available in ACMV and SIMV modes. The Manual Breath button does not initiate inflation if the patient is currently in the inspiratory phase of a breath, or if the airway pressure is greater than 5 cmH2O above the set PEEP level. During Manual Breath, the breath is terminated if any of the following occurs:
· The Manual Breath button is released
· The High Pressure limit is violated
· 3 seconds have elapsed
