I. GENERAL
A. INTENDED USE
The Model IC-2A Ventilator is for respiratory support of adult patients both in
hospital and during transport. It may be used either volume or pressure limited and
with a wide range or I\E ratios less than or greater that 1:1.
WARNING
: Do not use in a MRI room unless the IC-2A has been built by Bio-Med
Devices for such an environment. This will be indicated by a MRI plaque on the top
of the unit and a “M” at the end of the serial NUMBER.
B. MODES OF OPERATION
It is a pulsatile flow Ventilator which may be used in any of the following operating
modes:
•
Time cycled, either volume or pressure limited, with or without
Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP).
•
Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation (IPPV)
•
Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV)
•
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP).
•
Manual
C. FEATURES
Portable: Compact and light weight. May be hand carried or attached to stand;
used without interruption during transportation; compatible with masks,
endotracheal tubes and tracheostomy tubes.
Gas Powered: Portable pressurized tank or wall outlet, providing 50 psi oxygen or
air.
Operable in Hazardous Areas: Non-electric, no shock hazard, case constantly self-
purged.
High Reliability: Controlled by miniature pneumatic logic elements; with negligible
frictional wear.
Very low compliance.
Readily usable with standard accessories: humidifier, oxygen blender, oxygen
analyzer, pressure alarms, and patient circuit.
D. PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
Direct control is provided for inspiratory and expiratory times, flow rate, and
maximum pressure and PEEP or CPAP levels within the patient circuit.
