Operating Theory

The ventilator will reset out of Apnea Ventilation if the operator presses the
Alarm Reset button, or if the patient triggers two successive breaths.

Safety Valve Open (SVO)

Safety valve open is an emergency mode of ventilation that allows the patient
to breathe through the system whenever any of the following occur:

1.

An occlusion is detected.
(The ventilator resumes normal breathe delivery if the occlusion is
removed.)

2.

Loss of both the air supply and the oxygen supply occurs.
(The ventilator resumes normal breath delivery if the gas supply is made
available.)

3.

The Ventilator Inoperative state (Vent InOp) is entered due to a hardware
malfunction that prevents breath delivery.
(The ventilator will not resume normal breath delivery in this case. Call for
service.)

During SVO:

1.

The safety valve is opened,

2.

The exhalation valve is opened,

3.

The air and oxygen valves remain closed,

4.

A high priority alarm is activated,

5.

The Safety Valve Open indicator is illuminated,

6.

The Normal indicator is turned off.
