Main technical characteristics
1.3.1 Graphic user interface (GUI)
The graphic user interface (GUI) includes: a led 9" display, a membrane keyboard and one
encoder. The display shows the measured ventilation parameters, pressure, flow, volume
curves, loops and trends; moreover it shows the ventilation parameters and the leak
percentage value (leak: %).
The user has the possibility to set all the functions available on the GUI using the keyboard
and the encoder present on the front panel of the device.
The graphic interface includes a screen divided in areas where it shows:
the operatives mode
the alarm messages and signals
the monitoring of physiological breathing parameters
Pressure graphic and leakages (%)
the function MENU for setting operation parameters
the special functions
the visualization of clock, date, time functions and software version.
1.3.2 Electronics and driving
The electronic of the lung ventilator is developed on a single main board; this board handles
all the information received by the connected devices (the graphic interface settings,
sensors, turbine and monitor interface) and consequently set the ventilation.
The lung ventilator is equipped with a battery charger board which handle the charging of
the internal Ni-Mh battery and with an internal power supply module (feeder) which takes
care of the alarms relevant to the main power supply absence and/or discharged battery.
1.3.3 Pneumatics
The pneumatic part of the lung ventilator consists of various internal pneumatic circuits as
well as actuators designed to control the flow and the pressure of the medical gases. The
lung ventilator does not need to be connected to any medical gas distribution sources or to
devices that supply compressed air since this is done independently by an internal turbine.
The lung ventilator is able to deliver Air/Oxygen mixtures as it could be connected to an
external Oxygen source (please, refer to chapter n. 2).
