INTRODUCTION TO STAND-ALONE CONFIGURATION
The ventilator requires a pressure source for operation. In Stationary Configuration and Extended Range
Configuration, the compressor is the pressure source.
This chapter provides instructions about connecting the Life2000® Ventilator to an alternate pressure source (50-
PSI, ≥ 40 LPM at 41 PSI), such as an oxygen cylinder, by using an oxygen hose. A regulator is required to connect
the ventilator to an oxygen cylinder.
For connection to other sources, such as wall connections, follow your facility’s procedures. An adapter may be
required to connect to a wall source.
NOTES:
• The ventilator is compatible with medical grade compressed oxygen. Contact your local provider for more
information.
• If not connected to AC power, make sure the ventilator battery has sufficient charge for your length of use.
• Always have a backup means of providing compressed gas to the ventilator.
• The responsible organization is responsible for ensuring compatibility of the ventilator and the parts used to
connect to the patient before use.
STAND-ALONE CONFIGURATION SETUP CHECKLIST
Refer to the chapter contents for full instructions, warnings, and cautions.
☐
Test the ventilator before using it on a new patient if in multi-patient environment.
☐
Undock the ventilator from the compressor.
☐
Connect the ventilator to an oxygen cylinder (and regulator) with an oxygen hose.
TIP:
Turn on the oxygen just before powering on the ventilator.
☐
Connect an interface to the ventilator.
NOTE:
For information about the interface on the patient side, see "Chapter 5: Connecting an Interface" on
☐
Turn on the oxygen and estimate cylinder duration (see "Appendix: Cylinder Duration Information").
☐
Power on the ventilator.
☐
Check the ventilator’s battery charge and charge the ventilator, if necessary.
☐
Secure the ventilator using the belt clip or pole mount.
NOTE:
Ventilation will not begin until an Activity button is pressed on the ventilator. For more information see
"Choosing an Activity Button (Patient Selectable) to Begin Ventilation" on page 67.
POWERING OFF SEQUENCE IN EXTENDED RANGE CONFIGURATION
To power off the ventilator, press
the ventilator's power button for
three seconds until a confirmation
screen appears.
To continue to power off the ventilator, choose
OK
.
NOTE:
If a selection is not made within 20 seconds or if the
BACK
button is
selected, the previous screen will be displayed and the ventilation status will
not be affected.
To power off the compressor, press
the compressor's power button.
NOTE:
To isolate the compressor
from the supply mains (AC power
source), unplug the compressor's
AC power cord from the AC power
source.
DISCONNECTING EXTENDED-RANGE CONFIGURATION
Power off the ventilator.
Disconnect the oxygen hose from the ventilator by pulling back on the knurled ring on the quick connect
end of the oxygen hose until the oxygen hose detaches from the ventilator.
Disconnect the oxygen hose from the compressor by unscrewing the oxygen hose from the outlet fitting on
the compressor.
Store the oxygen hose for future use.
