CAUTION! Read this Clinician’s manual thoroughly so that you completely understand how the Vivo 3 is operated and maintained before taking it into use, to ensure correct usage, maximum performance and serviceability. Non-professional caregivers (e.g. family members) should consult the medical equip- ment provider’s respiratory therapist if they have any questions about the function,...
What is the Vivo 3? The Vivo 3 is an internally powered pressure ventilator capable of delivering invasive or non-invasive ventilatory support for the care of individuals who require long-term sup- port from mechanical ventilation for respiratory insufficiency or respiratory failure, with or without obstructive sleep apnea.
1.2.4 Service Life The expected service life of the Vivo 3 is 5 years or 20,000 hours. Intended Use Vivo 3 is intended to provide non-invasive or invasive ventilation for patients weighing over 10 kg (22 lbs) who require long-term support or mechanical ventilation for respira- tory insufficiency or respiratory failure, with or without obstructive sleep apnea.
The User Manual contains the information intended for patients and lay operators. Training The lay operator shall be trained to basic knowledge of the Vivo 3 and in the specific operations they are assigned to perform. The training shall be based on the user manual and the responsible clinical personnel shall assess the level of training required for each lay operator.
Training and Certification Service personnel shall be trained on the Vivo 3 and certified by Breas for being allowed to perform any service, repairs or other operations on the Vivo 3. The training consists of reading the services manual in complete. After completed training the certification test may be performed.
Patients should report any unusual chest pain, severe headache or increased breathlessness. The following side effects may occur during the course of therapy with the Vivo 3, patients are advised to report any new or changing adverse effects to their physician: •...

Risk of Insufficient Ventilation Usage outside the specified operating conditions may cause reduced performance. The Vivo 3 must only be used in accordance with the operating conditions specified in this operating manual Risk of Faulty Treatment Do not use the Vivo 3 in the event of •...
Page 17
Always prepare the Vivo 3 as described in this manual before use. Risk of Unnoticed Critical Conditions • All the physiological alarms of the Vivo 3 must be set at safe levels that will effec- tively warn the user of any risk.
Page 18
Make sure to place and pack the device in a way that prevents unintentional start of the machine. Due to the internal battery, the Vivo 3 may start if the Start/Stop button is pressed even without the mains being connected.
High voltage contact may cause cardiac arrhythmia. • Do not operate the Vivo 3 if it has a damaged power cord, power supply or casing. • To avoid electrical shock, only clean the Vivo 3 according to instructions in this manual.
Vivo 3. Please note some of these RF emitters may not be visible and the Vivo 3 can poten- tially be exposed to fields from these RF emitters without the user’s awareness. If abnormal performance of the Vivo 3 is observed, and the RF emitters cannot be identified and removed, the Vivo 3 may need to be reoriented or relocated.
Do not use or store the Vivo 3 in a magnetic resonance (MR) environment. Use of the Vivo 3 in an MR environment may result in malfunction of the Vivo 3 and pose unacceptable risk to the patient, medical staff or other persons.
• For active exhalation valve circuits: Check the function of the exhalation valve and that is not blocked or obstructed. • The Vivo 3 should be turned on and the function of the leakage port should be checked before use: The pressurized air from the Vivo 3 causes a continuous flow of air through the leakage port, enabling flushing of exhaled air.
Page 23
When present, remove the moisture. Before attempting to dry the circuit, disconnect it from the Vivo 3 to ensure no water flows back into the Vivo 3. The frequency at which these checks must be performed will depend on the patient’s condition and the device used.
WARNING! Risk of Cross-Contamination Patient circuits might get contaminated by exhaled gases. To avoid cross-contamina- tion, always use a properly cleaned or a new patient circuit when the Vivo 3 is to be used by a new patient. NOTE For masks and accessories, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Risk of Rebreathing The Vivo 3 is equipped with a low leakage alarm. The low leakage alarm is not a sub- stitute for operator vigilance in ensuring that the leakage ports remains clear at all times.
The Vivo 3 is equipped with a low leakage alarm. However, the alarm is not a substi- tute for operator vigilance for ensuring that the leakage ports remains clear at all times.

Treatment Modes This section describes the ventilating modes of the Vivo 3. 4.1.1 PCV+A — Pressure Controlled Ventilation (Assisted) In PCV+A mode, the ventilation is controlled by set values for pressure, inspiratory time, and rise time.
The inspiration starts by the interval set by the breath rate. The inspiration stops and the expiration starts by either of the following triggers: • The inspiration time expires. • The High Pressure Alarm limit is reached. 52 Treatment Functions and Settings Vivo 3 Clinician’s Manual Doc. 007232 Y-2...

4.2.12 Target Volume The Target Volume setting defines the tidal volume that the Vivo 3 will aim for while ventilating the patient in a pressure mode. This is done by adapting the Inspiratory Pres- sure between two adjustable pressure limits: Min IPAP and Max IPAP.
The Min pressure setting is only used when Target Volume is activated. Min pressure defines the lower pressure limit down to where the Vivo 3 can decrease the pressure to maintain the set Target Volume. If the actual volume is above Target Volume at Min pressure, the Vivo 3 will continue to ventilate at this Min pressure setting.

Clean and Replace Patient Air Inlet Filters The Vivo 3 patient air inlet filters are located inside a magnetic filter holder at the back of the ventilator. The table below describes the filters and their minimum maintenance intervals.
Page 111
• Replace: every 4th week or when assigning the Vivo 3 to a new patient. * If the Vivo 3 is used in an environment with high grades of pollen or pollutions, shorter intervals might be required. Turn off the Vivo 3 and place it on a clean dust free surface.
Change of Patients If assigning the Vivo 3 to a new patient, first clean and prepare the Vivo 3 as described in this section. If a humidifier is used, it is classified as single patient use. NOTE If the Vivo 3 is used in a clinic, with frequent change of patients, a low resistance bac- teria filter is located between the air outlet and the patient circuit to prevent patient cross contamination.
