VII. MAINTENANCE
A. NORMAL CARE
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.
The instrument should be returned to BMD for repair.
The patient circuit supplied, BMD part #8002A is disposable and should be replaced
for every patient, or during extended periods for a single patient. It is recommended
that the patient circuit be changed at least every 24 hours.
Care should be taken in connecting supply hoses to the POWER OXYGEN and AIR
fittings. Hand tightening of these fittings is sufficient. Do not over-tighten with a
wrench, as the fittings could be damaged. Never connect a water supply to these
fittings. Only clean, dry, oil-free medical grade gas may be used.
B. CHECKOUT PROCEDURE
For the following tests, the unit will require supply connections of 50 ±5 PSI (345 ±34.5
kPa) medical grade oxygen, an adult patient circuit (Bio-Med #8002A) and a test lung (Bio-
Med #1020).
Unless otherwise stated, all controls and switches are set as follows:
Connect 100% 02 supply at 50 PSI (345 kPa) to LOGIC GAS SUPPLY
Connect 100% 02 supply at 50 PSI (345 kPa) to PATIENT GAS SUPPLY
CYCLE/MANUAL CPAP to CYCLE
INSPIRATORY TIME to 1 sec
EXPIRATORY TIME to 2 sec
FLOW RATE to 30 LPM
MAXIMUM PRESSURE fully CCW
PEEP PRESSURE fully CW
NORMAL/SIMV to NORMAL
