Low Flow Barb
The Low Flow O2 barb should be used only if no
high flow source is available and the reservoir
cannot be used, such as during transport when
the CCV is not attached to the stand. Like the
reservoir barb, the Low Flow barb is not a secure
connection for high-pressure sources, and may
only be used when the source pressure is below
0.7 Bar (10 psi) and for flows of 10 LPM or less. Any higher pressure or
flow could lead to the hose being blown off of the barb.
WARNING:
When using a barbed connection, always use an
appropriate external regulator to lower the source pressure to the
below a safe level.
Air Sources
The CCV has two ports for source air: the high-pressure DISS port and
the filtered compressor inlet. Unless compressed medical-grade air is
readily available via cylinder or a pipeline system, the internal
compressor should be used as a reliable source of compressed air. The
inlet port includes a filter which prevents dust and other matter from
being sucked into the CCV. This filter should be checked every three
months and replaced if dirty (see
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
).
BREATHING CIRCUIT
Components and Function
The CCV comes with two durable, reusable single limb silicone
breathing circuits. Each circuit is composed of a main limb, control line,
pressure line, exhalation valve, and Heat/Moisture Exchange (HME)
filter. The circuit must be assembled correctly in order to function.
WARNING:
Do not use unapproved circuits, as loss of performance
may result.
Main Limb, Control and Pressure Lines
The breathing limb, pressure line (green) and control line (clear) are all
made of durable silicone. They are critical for the function of the
ventilator, and must be replaced if damaged.
