HPO dual-input
manifold
The HPO (High Pressure Oxygen) dual-input
manifold and internal rechargeable battery
provide continuity during intra-hospital
transport. Reduced humidity will be delivered
when the Airvo 3 is being powered only by the
battery; for more details see Appendix 4.
The HPO dual-input manifold uses the oxygen
supply with the highest pressure.
When transporting the Airvo 3 with your
patient:
1. Adjust therapy settings as necessary for
intra-hospital transport.
2. If using supplementary oxygen:
• Check that the oxygen bottle contains
enough oxygen for your journey.
• Turn on the oxygen-bottle pressure
regulator.
• Disconnect the oxygen hose from the
wall supply. Either attach it to a second
oxygen bottle for longer trips or hook it
over the Airvo mobile pole stand if additional oxygen is not required.
• The HPO dual-input manifold will use the oxygen-bottle supply automatically.
Check the battery contains enough charge for intra-hospital transport. A new battery will provide therapy for approximately 40 minutes
when fully charged. A Low Battery alarm will occur when 35% of the battery is remaining (no changes to the device or therapy).
A Critically Low Battery alarm will occur when 20% of the battery is remaining (humidity is turned off , oxygen and fl ow continue to be
delivered). When the battery is fully depleted, the Airvo 3 will interrupt therapy and produce a Power Out alarm.
3. Unplug the Airvo 3 from the wall power supply.
4. The Airvo 3 will display a Battery Mode: Low Humidity alarm.
5. When you reach your destination:
• Reconnect the Airvo 3 to the wall power supply
• Reconnect the Airvo 3 to the wall oxygen supply.
• Turn off the oxygen bottle pressure regulator to avoid draining the oxygen
bottle and switch to the wall oxygen supply.
If you are not using the HPO dual-input manifold, connect an oxygen bottle
(if required) to one of the oxygen inlet ports when transporting your patient.
Ensure any oxygen supply connected to the low-pressure oxygen (LPO) inlet
port is turned off when the device is in standby mode, not delivering therapy.
Warnings
Only use the Airvo 3 battery with the Airvo 3 device. Only charge the Airvo 3 battery with the Airvo 3 device.
Loss of power will result in loss of therapy. In the event of a Critically Low Battery alarm, promptly connect the Airvo 3 to the wall
power supply to avoid loss of therapy due to the battery becoming depleted.
Contact technical personnel to remove the battery from the device if it is not likely to be used for an extended period of time.
