Ventilator Overview
2-2 User’s Manual
Target Operators
The ventilator may be operated by:
•
Respiratory therapists
•
Doctors
•
Nurses
•
Homecare providers
•
Patient and patient’s families
Warning
This ventilator must be used only under the responsibility and on the prescription of a doctor.
2.2 Contraindications
This ventilator is not for use with anesthetic gases, and is not intended for use as an emergency transport ven-
tilator.
2.3 Operational Use
The Puritan Bennett™ 560 Portable Ventilator uses a micro-turbine to provide ventilatory support to patients.
Clinicians may use a variety of interfaces to connect patients to the ventilator: nasal masks or full face masks;
endotracheal or tracheotomy tubes. User-selectable ventilation modes are:
•
Assisted Controlled Volume (V A/C)
•
Assisted Controlled Pressure (P A/C)
•
Volume Synchronised Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (V SIMV)
•
Pressure Synchronised Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (P SIMV)
•
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)
•
Pressure Support Ventilation with apnea ventilation (PSV/ST)
Safety Net
Incorporated in the ventilator design is an alarm system that continuously monitors both patient and machine
for signs of specific errors or faults that could lead to an unsafe condition. Should any of these errors or faults
be detected, the alarm system announces the specific alarm condition both audibly and visually. The machine-
related alarm conditions are factory set, whereas the patient-related alarm conditions are defined by alarm-
threshold values selected by an operator (a clinician
or a caregiver). For more information, refer to chapter
3, “Alarms and Troubleshooting”
Settings
A software key, known as the “Locking Key,” restricts access to ventilation parameter settings and ventilation
mode changes in order to distinguish between “clinician” usage and “patient” usage.
Oxygen Enrichment
Oxygen may be supplied from an external, low pressure source, but the oxygen flow must be limited to 15 lpm
(50 kPa, 500 mbar). The ventilator automatically compensates for the extra flow created by the external oxy-
gen supply
(
refer to chapter 4, “Installation and Assembly” )
Breathing Circuit
The ventilator can be used with a single or double limb patient circuit. If exhaled volume monitoring is required
(such as ventilator dependant patients), use the double-limb circuit for exhaled tidal volume monitoring. For
more information, refer to section
4.4, “Patient Circuit” .
