Monitoring. The ventilator displays monitored parameters as numbers and as
real-time waveforms (curves or scalars).
Alarms. The ventilator's operator-adjustable and nonadjustable alarms help
ensure the patient's safety.
Power and gas supplies. The ventilator uses AC mains as its primary power source.
An internal backup battery provides a secondary power source. For more
information, see Table 11-10 on page 11-8.
The ventilator uses high-pressure oxygen. An integral blower pressurizes gas for
delivery to the patient.
NOTE: Oxygen delivered through the compressed gas hose and blower is
used as fresh gas.
Mounting. The ventilator can be mounted to a stand. When equipped with the
optional cylinder holder, the stand can accommodate two E-size oxygen
cylinders. An oxygen manifold kit is available, which allows two oxygen
cylinders and one wall oxygen supply line to be used as inputs to the ventilator.
Communications interface. The ventilator can output data through the RS-232
serial port upon receiving a command from a host computer or bedside
monitoring system. The ventilator is equipped with a remote alarm/nurse call
connection to activate alarms remotely.
Upgradability via Respi-Link remote diagnostic system. The Respi-Link interface
permits software upgrade and remote troubleshooting of the ventilator through
the RS-232 port.
