Ventilator Assembly & Physical Setup
Unpacking the Ventilator
The AVEA is designed for simplicity of operation and set-up. It requires minimal assembly on site.
Items Required for Ventilator Setup
You will need the following to setup your AVEA ventilator:
Power Source. The ventilator operates from a standard 100, 110, 220, or 240 VAC power source or an optional external
•
24VDC battery. There is an internal battery supplied with the ventilator, which will operate the ventilator for short periods
(see "Chapter 8: Maintenance and Cleaning").
CAUTION
The ventilator should be connected to a mains AC power supply for at least 4 hours prior to switching to internal
battery power. For operation on external battery the ventilator should be connected to a mains AC power supply for at
least 12 hours with green LED lot to insure a fully charged battery.
Pressurized Oxygen, Air or Heliox Gases. The compressed gas sources must provide clean, dry, medical grade gas
•
at a line pressure of 20 to 80 PSIG (1.4 to 5.6 bar).
