USING THE LIFE2000 ® COMPRESSOR WITH THE UNIVERSAL CIRCUIT CONNECTOR AND MASK
The Life2000® Compressor is the primary pressure source driving the Life2000® Ventilator. When interfaced with
a vented full face mask the compressor is capable of providing enough flow to support PEEP settings less than or
equal to 7 cmH₂O. For PEEP settings greater than 7 cmH₂O it is recommended to use an alternate 50 PSI pressure
source.
The potential minute ventilation available for the corresponding set PEEP level on the Life2000® Ventilator using
the Life2000® Compressor as the primary pressure source are shown in the following table. The table can be
used to obtain approximate values only .
The potential patient minute ventilation chart is derived from a combination of the PEEP setting and the required
flow in LPM to drive the system. It is further influenced by the patient's resistance, compliance, and effort.

!
CAUTION:
• A 90-day replacement schedule for the Universal Circuit
®
Connector and interface accessories is
recommended.
• Do not use a Universal Circuit® Connector, oxygen adapter, or oxygen tubing that is cracked, odorous,
broken, or kinked. If a damaged interface is used, the patient may not receive adequate respiratory
therapy.
1
Place the oxygen adapter between the Universal Circuit® Connector and the third-party patient mask or tube
connection. Your mask or tube connection may differ (a full face mask connection is shown as an example).
NOTE:
Before using the interface and oxygen adapter, visually inspect them for damage.
