IC-2A VENTILATOR SET-UP

Connection of Gas Supply
a. Connect a 50 psi oxygen source to the LOGIC GAS SUPPLY 100% O
connector. Only 100% oxygen should be used for proper operation.
b. Connect the patient gas supply to the PATIENT GAS SUPPLY connector.
This may be from the output of a blender or any pre-blended gas mixture of
the desired oxygen concentration. The oxygen concentration delivered to the
patient is the same as the oxygen concentration supplied to the IC-2A
Ventilator at the PATIENT GAS SUPPLY connector.
WARNING: The supplies must be regulated 50 psi sources without
flow restricting devices (e.g. flowmeter, needle valve, etc.).
ensures proper operation and safety of the patient.
CAUTION: Hose fittings should be hand-tightened to avoid damage to
fittings.
CAUTION: The gas supply should be clean and dry.
Connection of Patient Circuit
a. Connect the 15-inch piece of corrugated hose to the main patient hose
connector. Connect the other end to the patient filter. With a 6-inch length of
hose, connect the filter to the input port of the humidifier.
b. Connect the main patient hose (corrugated tube) to the output connector of
the humidifier.
c. Attach the exhalation valve line to the EXHALATION VALVE connector.
d. Connect the proximal airway pressure line to the PRESSURE GAUGE
connector.
e. Attach patient port of exhalation valve to a test lung (Part Number 1020).
After selecting desired operating parameters, observe proper functioning
before attaching to the patient.
NOTE: Any intensive care ventilator circuit may be used with the IC-2A
Ventilator including a configuration using both inspiratory and expiratory
hoses. Any exhalation valve may be used. It should be noted that the IC-
2A is supplied with a patient circuit (Part Number 8002). The maximum
pressure limit and maximum PEEP pressure are calibrated using this
exhalation valve. If another valve is used there may be a difference in the
maximum pressure limit and maximum PEEP pressure attainable,
depending on the area ratios of the exhalation valve used.

IC-2A FINAL CHECKOUT

Before connecting the IC-2A Ventilator to a patient perform the following checks to
ensure that the Ventilator is at its optimum operating condition.
