THE BREATHE INTERFACES
The Life2000® Ventilation System requires the use of either the Universal Circuit
®
Connector or Breathe Pillows
Entrainment Interface. Breathe interfaces are only compatible with Hillrom™ ventilators and compressors.
The Universal Circuit
®
Connector is used to connect any commercially available non-invasive mask (full face, nasal,
or pillows) or tracheostomy tube to a Hillrom™ ventilator or compressor.
The Breathe Pillows Entrainment Interface is a non-invasive patient mask that connects directly to a Hillrom™
ventilator or compressor.
NOTES:
• For information about ordering accessories and replacement parts, see "Accessories and Replacement
• Before using an interface, visually inspect it for damage.

THE UNIVERSAL CIRCUIT® CONNECTOR
The Universal Circuit
®
Connector is used to connect any commercially available non-invasive mask (full face, nasal,
or pillows) or tracheostomy tube to a Life2000® ventilator or compressor.
The Universal Circuit
®
Connector is only compatible with Life2000® ventilators and compressors.
NOTE:
The interface assembly is packaged clean but not sterile. The Universal Circuit
®
Connector does not need
to be cleaned or sterilized prior to first use.
WARNING:
• The Universal Circuit
®
Connector is designed for single-patient use. To prevent risk of cross-contamination
use a new Universal Circuit
®
Connector for each new patient. For the third-party mask or tube, refer to the
user guide provided by the manufacturer.
• The interface, source gas supply hose, and power cords should be positioned to avoid restricting movement,
causing a tripping hazard, or posing a strangulation risk
CAUTION:
A 90-day replacement schedule for the Universal Circuit
®
Connector is recommended.
NOTE:
The Life2000
®
has been validated for use with a Bacterial Filter or a Heat and Moisture Exchanger (HME) with
resistance up to 1.8 cmH₂O at 60 LPM of flow. Always monitor performance of ventilator and alarms when
introducing new components into the system.
