MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING ENVIRONMENT WARNING: ONLY AN IC-2A ORIGINALLY MANUFACTURED BY BIO-MED DEVICES FOR MRI USE OR RECEIVING AN MRI CONVERSION BY BIO-MED DEVICES IS TO BE USED IN AN MRI ENVIRONMENT. THESE UNITS WILL BE DESIGNATED BY AN MRI LABEL AND AN “M”...
IC-2A WITH TOP MOUNTED BLENDER The following instructions explain how to make the connections between your IC-2A and blender using the Bio-Med Blender Hose Kit, catalog #2005IC. 1. Mount the blender to the IC-2A using the nut to nut coupler (D) – (blender primary outlet to IC-2A patient supply).
The high pressure wye is to be used to split your oxygen source before the blender so the short leg goes to the blender input and the long leg goes to the IC-2A logic input. Connect one end of a 2' oxygen supply hose to the input of this wye and the other end to the output fitting on the oxygen cylinder regulator.

Connect the short hose leg of the wye to the blender oxygen input . Connect the long hose leg of the wye to the elbow on the IC-2A logic supply input. Connect the 10' air supply hose to the blender air input.
If the IC-2A was shipped directly to you and damage due to shipment is found, notify the carrier at once. Only you, the consignee, can make a claim against the carrier for damage in shipment.

WARRANTY The IC-2A Ventilator is warranted to be free from defects in workmanship and material for one (1) year from the date of purchase. To insure its performance is maintained, any repair during this warranty period must be performed by BMD.
Do not re-use disposable breathing circuits. Do not use in a MRI room unless the IC-2A has been built by Bio-Med Devices for such an environment. This will be indicated by a MRI plaque on the top of the unit and a “M” at the end of the serial NUMBER.

Always turn on the IC-2A before attaching to patient to avoid erroneous breaths. Whenever the IC-2A is turned off, disconnect the patient before turning the ventilator back on in order to avoid erroneous breaths. Antistatic or electrically conductive hoses or tubing should not be used.
I\E ratios less than or greater that 1:1. WARNING: Do not use in a MRI room unless the IC-2A has been built by Bio-Med Devices for such an environment. This will be indicated by a MRI plaque on the top of the unit and a “M”...

Oxygen concentration is varied by the use of an external accessory blender or premixed gas supply. Care should be taken to select a blender capable of maintaining constant supply pressure over the full range of flow rates that the IC-2A provides. As with all ventilation systems, the O concentration should be tested periodically with an oxygen analyzer.
IPPV With the CYCLE/CPAP-MANUAL selector set in cycle and NORMAL/SIMV selector set in normal, the IC-2A acts as a controller or assist/controller. A pilot valve operated by the timing signal from the fluid logic opens for a preset length of time (Insp. Time) allowing gas to flow at some rate established by the flow rate control.
Page 16
Whenever the PEEP/CPAP level is changed, the inspiratory effort control should be readjusted. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) When the CYCLE/CPAP selector switch is placed in the CPAP-MANUAL position the function of the IC-2A is very similar to the SIMV mode. In the...
CPAP mode, an inspiratory effort triggers the flow of a volume of gas equal to inspiratory time X flow rate. However, in this mode the high pressure is not applied intermittently to the exhalation valve. Only the PEEP/CPAP control is operative. The PEEP/CPAP control may be turned fully clockwise thus applying zero pressure to the exhalation valve.

seconds (may be set to 45 seconds or more in IMV range). Flow rate Sets inspiratory flow rate. Calibrated from 0 to 75 LPM. Inspiratory Effort Adjusts the patient trigger sensitivity. PEEP/CPAP Sets PEEP level when cycle selector switch is in the CYCLE position or CPAP level when switch is set to CPAP.
Variable from 0 to 120 ±20 cmH Maximum Pressure Setting: O. This is dependent upon the type of exhalation valve used. The IC-2A is calibrated using the Bio-Med Devices disposable patient circuit and exhalation valve, Part #8002A. O; ±3% full-scale accuracy.
The IC-2A will operate with a supply pressure outside of the 50 ±5 psi (345 ±34.5 kPa ) range, but accuracy of settings may be impaired. IN NO CASE SHOULD A...

M-1) may be connected to the pressure gauge line or main patient hose. IT MUST ALWAYS BE USED WHENEVER THE IC-2A IS USED UNATTENDED. Rate-I/E Ratio Monitor--(such as the Bio-Med Devices M-10) may be connected if desired, to simplify use of the ventilator by supplying readout of rate and I/E ratio. It should be connected in the same way as the high/low pressure alarm.
Any intensive care ventilator circuit can be used with the IC-2A including a configuration utilizing both inspiratory and expiratory hoses. Any exhalation valve may be used. It should be noted that the IC-2A is supplied with the Bio-Med Devices patient circuit, catalog #8002A. The maximum pressure limit and maximum PEEP pressure are calibrated using this exhalation valve.
V. SELECTION OF VENTILATION PARAMETERS AND ADJUSTMENT OF CONTROLS A. INTERMITTENT POSITIVE PRESSURE VENTILATION (IPPV) WITH OR WITHOUT PEEP Determine and note patient requirements for respiratory rate, I/E ratio and tidal volume. Refer to Table I to find inspiratory time (T ) and expiratory time (T ).
Re-connect the patient airway to the WYE. The IC-2A will now be limited to the tidal volume set, but maximum pressure will be limited in the event of changes in resistance or compliance. b) For pressure-limited operation: Adjust MAX.
C. CONTINUOUS POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE (CPAP) NOTE: WHENEVER THE IC-2A IS TURNED OFF, DISCONNECT THE PATIENT BEFORE TURNING THE VENTILATOR BACK ON, IN ORDER TO AVOID ERRONEOUS BREATHS. THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE CONTROL MUST BE TURNED OFF (FULLY CLOCKWISE) IN THE CPAP MODE.
NOTE THAT IT IS ESSENTIAL WITH THE TRIGGERED DEMAND FLOW OF THE IC-2A, THAT THE INSPIRATORY EFFORT BE PROPERLY ADJUSTED TO ASSURE THAT THE PATIENT CAN OBTAIN GAS. As in the SIMV mode, no external constant flow source is necessary.
• To assure that operation will be trouble-free, attention should be given to the following points: • ALWAYS TEST THE IC-2A EACH TIME BEFORE ATTACHING TO A PATIENT. • All hoses should be securely fastened to fittings. Hand-tighten to avoid damage to fittings.

IC-2A. • Do not lean on or place excessive weight on the IC-2A while it is mounted on a bracket since the bracket is designed to support only the IC-2A.
The IC-2A Ventilator requires very little maintenance. It should be protected from abusive mechanical shock and kept in a clean condition. The IC-2A should only be cleaned by wiping the outside surfaces with alcohol applied to a tissue or cloth. It should never be sprayed with or immersed in any other liquid.

PILOT VALVE BLEED With both supplies on, place your ear near back of case. An audible internal leak is normal. PILOT VALVE SEAL With both supplies pressurized and ON/OFF valve to OFF, occlude the circuit exhalation valve exhaust port and observe the manometer on the unit. There should be no continuous rise in pressure indicated by manometer.
Page 31
PEEP ZERO Set ON/OFF switch to ON. Observe manometer. No pressure should be indicated during the expiratory phase. INSPIRATORY EFFORT Remove occlusion from patient end of circuit. Set ON/OFF switch to ON. With 15 ±5 cm of negative pressure applied to the patient circuit, the DEMAND INDICATOR should activate and the unit should trigger (initiate a breath).
Med Devices for repair. The pressure gauge readings can be compared to a standard by teeing into the hose connected to the GAUGE fitting of the IC-2A, and connecting it to the standard gauge. Should the gauge need zeroing, this may be accomplished while the instrument is inoperative by removing the gauge’s lens and setting the zero screw adjust on the...
