UNDOCKING THE VENTILATOR FROM THE COMPRESSOR
NOTE:
When switching between ventilation system configurations, ensure that the patient receives adequate
ventilation therapy; place the patient on an alternate means of ventilation if necessary.
Power off the ventilator.
NOTE:
Alarms might be encountered and/or the selected Activity
Button might be inadvertently changed if the ventilator is not
powered off before undocking.
Turn the locking knob counterclockwise to the unlocked position until
the compressor ejects the ventilator.
NOTE:
Some tension will be encountered while turning the knob
during ejection.
Pull the ventilator (in the direction shown by the arrow) to separate it
from the compressor cradle.

CONNECTING THE VENTILATOR AND COMPRESSOR IN
EXTENDED RANGE CONFIGURATION
In this configuration, the ventilator and compressor are connected by an oxygen hose; this allows use of the
ventilator without having to be docked into the compressor. A six-foot oxygen hose is included with the ventilation
system.
WARNING:
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:
Use only an approved oxygen hose with the ventilation system.
NOTE:
A 20-foot source gas supply hose (available to order) is recommended when using a ventilator output
volume greater than 350 ml.
Ensure the ventilator is powered off.
NOTE:
Alarms might be encountered and/or the selected Activity Button might be inadvertently changed if
the ventilator is not powered off.
The compressor may be powered off or powered on.
Attach the oxygen hose to the outlet fitting on the compressor.
NOTE:
The outlet fitting is to be used only for connecting the
compressor to the Life2000
®
Ventilator with an approved source gas
supply hose or during the purging of an interface. For more
information about the purging process see "Purging the Universal
Circuit® Connector" on page 108.
Connect the other end of the oxygen hose to the ventilator by
pushing the small quick connect end onto the gas inlet connection on
the ventilator; when connected, the quick connect end will click into
place.
For more information about powering on, see "Powering On
Sequence in Extended Range Configuration" on page 28.
NOTES:
• Ventilation will not begin until an Activity Button is selected on the ventilator. For more information see
"Choosing an Activity Button (Patient Selectable) to Begin Ventilation" on page 67.
• During use in Extended Range Configuration, the oxygen hose should remain connected to the ventilator
at all times, except when required to be disconnected for maintenance, testing, or replacement. If it is
disconnected while the ventilator is on and delivering therapy, a Low Gas Pressure alarm will occur. For
more information see "Low Gas Pressure" on page 90.
