• CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) Compatible Patient Circuits The Vivo 45 should be used with a leakage circuit and a suitable patient interface or an MPV circuit. See 9 Accessories and Parts, page 160 for detailed information about approved patient circuits.
Vivo 45 is intended for spontaneously breathing patients. Contraindications The Vivo 45 is not a life-support ventilator and is contraindicated in patients who are unable to tolerate more than brief interruptions in ventilation. If a patient has any of the following conditions, therapy with positive airway pressure...
Intended Environment The Vivo 45 is intended to be used in clinical settings (e.g. hospitals, sub-acute care insti- tutions), public spaces and home environments as well as during portable applications such as wheelchairs, personal family vehicles, ground ambulances and civil aircraft, excluding helicopters.
Training The lay operator shall be trained to basic knowledge of the Vivo 45 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.
• Care providers, clinical personnel, physicians and others who require a working knowledge of the Vivo 45 will find additional information on settings and func- tions in the Clinician’s Manual. • Service personnel may order the Service Manual that contains detailed technical information for maintenance, service, repair and disposal procedure.
Every other use may lead to risk of personal injury! Risk of Insufficient Ventilation Usage outside the specified operating conditions may cause reduced performance. The Vivo 45 must only be used in accordance with the operating conditions specified in this manual Risk of Reduced Safety and Performance Accessories that have not been tested with the Vivo 45 might affect safety features and performance negatively.
Page 17
The responsible organization should periodically reassess the settings of the therapy for effectiveness. Before starting treatment, always perform the procedure 4.5 Inspecting the Vivo 45 before Use , page 42. The ventilator is not suitable for a ventilator dependent patient.
Page 18
Modifying or using the ventilator with accessories that are not specified or approved by Breas may cause cardiac arrhythmia. The Vivo 45 must only be used in original and unmodified shape and only with acces- sories specified or approved by Breas Medical.
Risk of Electric Shock High voltage contact may cause cardiac arrhythmia. • Do not operate the Vivo 45 if it has a damaged power cord, power supply or casing. • To avoid electrical shock, only clean the Vivo 45 according to instructions in this manual.
Caution should be exercised if the room temperature is greater that 36°C (97°F). Risk of Faulty Treatment If a room humidifier is used, place it at least 2 meters away from the Vivo 45. Risk of faulty Treatment The performance of the Vivo 45 may deteriorate at altitudes or ambient temperatures outside the operation conditions specified in the chapter Technical Specifications.
Do not use or store the Vivo 45 in a magnetic resonance (MR) environment. Use of the Vivo 45 in an MR environment may result in malfunction of the Vivo 45 and pose unacceptable risk to the patient, medical staff or other persons.
Page 22
When present, remove the moisture. Before attempting to dry the circuit, disconnect it from the Vivo 45 to ensure no water flows back into the Vivo 45. 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 45 is to be used by a new patient. NOTE For masks and accessories, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Risk of Insufficient Ventilation Insufficient ventilation may cause transient hypoxia. Do not use high resistance bacteria filter at the air outlet of the Vivo 45. High resist- ance bacteria filters placed between the air outlet and the patient interface may inter- fere with the operation of the patient disconnect function.

The use of an HME or an external humidifier may require readjustment of the venti- lator low-pressure alarm. Certain HMEs and HCHs are sufficient to provide humidification when the ventilator is used invasively. Check specific suppliers’ recommended use. Safety Information 25 Doc. 006149 D-3 Vivo 45 User manual...
The Vivo 45 should be regularly cleaned and maintained in accordance with this oper- ating manual. WARNING! Risk of Faulty Treatment Service and Maintenance of the Vivo 45 shall not be performed when the Vivo 45 is in use. WARNING! Risk of Electric Shock High voltage contact may cause cardiac arrhythmia.

Page 39
Place the Vivo 45 on a solid, flat, and clean surface. The Vivo 45 should be placed lower than the patient in order to prevent the device from falling on the patient, as well as preventing condensed water from reaching the patient.
CAUTION! • Do not place the Vivo 45 on a soft surface that will prevent the air flow under- neath the device. Never cover the device. • Always position the Vivo 45 so the power supply lays on a surface without strain to the power cord.
3 Connect the power supply’s power cord to the mains supply. To isolate the Vivo 45 from the mains supply, disconnect the power supply. Connecting the Patient Circuit WARNING! Read 2.4 Usage of Patient Circuit, page 21 carefully to make sure all conditions are con- sidered and met.
• Check that the cables are properly connected. Inspection of Placement • The Vivo 45 shall be placed on solid flat surface below the patient level (see 4.2 Plac- ing the Vivo 45, page 38). • Make sure that nothing can block the air inlet at the side.
Always perform a new pre-use test if the patient circuit configuration has been changed. NOTE If the pre-use test has not been performed, the Vivo 45 will operate with default patient circuit compensation. Starting the Pre-use Test Manually On the Others menu, Select Pre-use Test and then Start Pre-use Test.

5.4.1 Standby and Operating Mode Standby mode is defined as the state of the Vivo 45 when it is powered on but without having treatment or pre-use test started. Operating mode is defined as the state of the Vivo 45 when the blower is operating and producing an air flow.
In Paediatric mode, some ventilator parameters, for example Breath Rate, Inspiratory Time and Target Volume have special setting limits, in order to optimize the treatment for paediatric patients. The settings and alarm limits of the Vivo 45 are reset to default values when the patient mode is altered.
Page 63
5.4.4.3 Pressure Controlled Ventilation (PCV) In the PCV mode the ventilation is controlled by the Vivo 45. This is done at the preset pressure, breath rate, inspiratory time, and rise time settings set by the operator. The patient also has the possibility to start a breath through the Inspiratory Trigger. This patient triggered breath will be delivered with the inspiratory time, rise time and pres- sure setting set by the operator.
5.4.4.8 CPAP – Continuous Positive Airway Pressure In CPAP mode the Vivo 45 is applying a continuous positive pressure to the airways. The flow will automatically be adjusted to maintain the set CPAP level. Functions and Parameters in the Vivo 45 The parameters used for controlling the breathing by the Vivo 45 are described below.

5.7.5 Using the ventilator with the EtCO Sensor The EtCO sensor can be connected to the patient breathing circuit and to a Vivo 45 in order to monitor and store CO measurements. The CO measurements will be stored in the ventilator data memory which can be downloaded to a PC and viewed in the ventilator PC software.
Page 83
Incorrect CO zeroing will result in false gas readings. Replace the airway adapter if rain-out/condensation occurs inside the airway adapter. Only use airway adapters distributed by Breas Medical. Do not apply tension to the CO sensor cable. To keep secretions and moisture from pooling on the windows, always position the sensor in a vertical position with the green LED pointing upwards.
