Operation and Maintenance of the

EPV100

Portable Ventilator

1

Applications of the EPV100

• The EPV100 Portable Ventilator is a gas powered electronically

controlled mechanical ventilator, designed to provide emergency

respiratory support by means of a face mask or an endotracheal
tube inserted into a patient’s airway.

• The EPV100 is a volume controlled ventilator that delivers timed-

cycled constant flow breaths.

• The EPV100 is an all-weather ventilator suitable for use at the scene
of a medical incident, as well as in pre-hospital, intra-hospital, and
inter-hospital transport.

• The EPV100 has been designed to withstand direct exposure to rain,

up to 100G shock and vibration, and drops of less than 4 feet.

• These ventilators are intended for use on patients weighing greater
than 20kg, or 44 lbs.

Notes on Controls and Settings

• The EPV100 is powered by compressed gas but requires 2D cell batteries

to power the controls and settings. Therefore it must have both batteries

as well as a compressed oxygen source to run.

• It features electronic power management alarms to provide advance
notice of low gas and low battery status.

• The EPV100 has independent control of Tidal Volume, Inspiratory Time,
and Breaths Per Minute.

• It features electronic ventilation alarms to provide notice of dangerous or
ineffective ventilation.

• The EPV100 does not have an Assist Control function, but will allow the

patient to take spontaneous breaths while connected to the patient
circuit.

• The unit also features a digital manometer to monitor

the peak airway pressure during each breath.

Oxygen Connection

• A 40-80 psi compressed oxygen source must be connected to the EPV100
for operation of this ventilator.

• Connect a compressed oxygen source by attaching one end of an oxygen

hose to the DISS oxygen inlet shown above, and then connecting the other

end to an oxygen regulator, or hospital or ambulance oxygen outlet.

• Ensure that the oxygen source is pressurized and capable of delivering
oxygen at 40-80 psi.

Patient Circuit Connection

• To attach the breathing circuit, press the open end of a three-foot circuit
with one-way valve firmly on to the 22 mm patient circuit connection.

• The circuit connection will accommodate any standard 22 mm ventilation

circuit with a one-way valve, although the EPV100 has been tested and
approved using the Allied three-foot breathing circuits with one-way valve.

Patient Circuits

• Allied offers several affordable three-foot circuit configurations to meet
the caregiver’s requirements.

• All circuits contain three feet of corrugated tubing, a one-way duck-bill

valve, an expiratory port capable of accepting a PEEP valve or bacterial
filter, and a swivel connector capable of accepting a mask or ET tube.

• Optional configurations incorporate a pre-packaged cuffed mask and/or a
bacterial exhalation filter.

• The following part numbers represent the various pre-packaged
configurations and accessory items offered.

Fitting of PEEP Valve and Mask or ET Tube

• An External PEEP valve may be fitted to the expiratory port of the patient

circuit, allowing adjustable PEEP from 0-20 cm H2O.

• The swivel connector on the three-foot Allied patient circuit features a

22 mm universal adapter that will accept a standard cuffed mask or

endotracheal tube.

• To fit the mask or ET tube, press the end of the mask or tube into the open

end of the swivel connector.

• The patient circuit also contains a removable access port. Ensure that this
port is closed during ventilation to prevent loss of airway pressure.
