3.1 INTRODUCTION

The SERVO-i Ventilator System is equipped with an AC power supply with automatic range selection. The ventilator will automatically operate correctly using 100-120V AC or 220 - 240V AC outlets.
See chapter Technical data on page 221.
The ventilator is equipped with at least two battery modules which automatically supply 12V DC power in case of an AC power failure, ensuring that ventilator settings and stored data remain intact in the event of an AC power failure.
Note: Batteries can be added to available slots during operation.
The ventilator also comes equipped with an inlet for an external 12V DC power supply. This power supply activates automatically in case of an AC power failure, and ventilator settings and stored data remain intact.

3.2 VIEWING BATTERY STATUS

When operating from batteries, the estimated remaining battery time in minutes is displayed in the upper right corner of the screen on the Status touch pad.
WARNING! If the remaining battery time on the Status touchpad is displayed in red, the battery modules have very little operational time left and battery modules must be replaced. If possible, connect the ventilator to AC power.
Note: The total usable backup time is the sum of the estimated operation time displayed for each battery module minus 10 minutes.
CAUTION: When using external 12V DC, at least two installed battery modules are required to ensure proper operation.
When the system is connected to an external power supply, all connected battery modules are being recharged. This does not affect ventilation.
Alarms and Messages
See Alarms and Safety later in this chapter.
When the ventilator is turned off with the on/off switch, batteries continue to charge.

3.3 ALARMS AND SAFETY

The status of the battery modules is continuously monitored by the ventilator. If the status is unsatisfactory, four types of messages may be displayed at the top of the user interface:
Technical Error Message
High Priority Alarm Message
Medium Priority Alarm Message
Text Message

3.3.1 WARNINGS

WARNINGS!
If a battery status message is displayed on the user interface, check the battery status as soon as possible. If no action is taken, the ventilator may eventually shut down.
To guarantee reliable battery backup, two fully charged battery modules must be installed at all times.
Always replace batteries when the ventilator software notifies you of imminent expiration or of diminished operating capacity.
Do not disconnect and store battery modules over long periods of time because this will degrade their capacity. If used battery modules need to be stored for short periods of time (up to one week), then store them fully charged in a cool (15-20°C or 59-68°F), dry environment.
Batteries that have been stored or disconnected should be recharged before use.
Dispose of batteries according to local regulations and not with ordinary waste.
After a new battery module is installed, display the Battery Status Window to ensure safe battery operation.
When delivered, the battery modules may not be fully charged. Check the status of the batteries via the user interface and, if necessary, charge the battery before use by connecting the ventilator to the power supply.
Always recharge discharged batteries.
When not in use, the ventilator should always be connected to the power supply to ensure fully charged batteries.
When the ventilator is running on batteries, the Servo Ultra Nebulizer is disabled to reduce power consumption.

4.3 PATIENT CIRCUIT TEST

In Standby, the Patient circuit test may be performed separately from the Pre-use check. This is useful, for example, when changes are made to the circuit or additional accessories are connected. The test evaluates circuit leakage and measures circuit compliance and resistance.
SVX-9042
Press the Patient circuit test touchpad and follow the on-screen instructions.
Follow the instructions in section Patient circuit test/Y Sensor test.
The results from the Patient circuit test is displayed in the Status>Patient circuit window.
Note: Considerable leakage may occur around the endotracheal tube if it is uncuffed. The combination of small tidal volumes, leakage around the tube, and activated compliance compensation may trigger the Low Expiratory Minute Volume alarm due to a very low expiratory flow passing from the patient through the expiratory channel. By observing the difference between the Vti and Vte values presented on the user interface, a leakage can be detected and its extent easily controlled. The first time an unacceptably large leakage occurs around the tube, correct this problem to avoid triggering the Low Expiratory Minute Volume alarm. If the leakage persists, either adjust the alarm limit down to its lowest level (10 ml) or permanently silence the alarm (see page 179)—if this step is clinically appropriate. Finally, if the leakage still has not been remedied, deactivate the compliance compensation to avoid triggering the alarm. If the compliance compensation is deactivated while in Pressure Control, Pressure Support, or SIMV (Pressure Control) ventilation modes, then no further settings need to be adjusted. However, in volume-related modes, the set volumes must be adjusted.
WARNINGS!
A Pre-use check must always be done before connecting the ventilator to a patient.
The Patient circuit test does not replace the Pre-use check.

During the disconnect phase the following alarms are turned off for up to 60 seconds:
Apnea
Minute volume
Respiratory rate
EtCO
2
PEEP
When the patient is reconnected, the system automatically enters the post-oxygenation phase and restarts ventilation.
It is also possible to restart ventilation manually by pressing the Start ventilation touchpad.
POST-OXYGENATION PHASE
After reconnection, the ventilator will deliver the same oxygen concentration as in the preparation phase for 60 seconds.
After 60 seconds the system automatically returns to ventilation using the previous oxygen setting.

4.11.2 CLOSED-SUCTION SYSTEMS

If a closed-suction system is used, the Suction Support, Insp. hold and Exp. hold functions should not be used. Pressure-based modes (such as Pressure Control, Pressure Support, Bi-Vent, SIMV (PC) + PS, or NAVA) should be used. Settings should be adjusted to levels suitable for the patient. Hospital guidelines for suctioning should be followed.

4.12 RE-ADJUST THE OXYGEN CELL

Note: This does not apply if the SERVO-i
Ventilator System has an O2 sensor fitted.
If the ventilator has been in continuous use for an extended period, the measured O concentration may drop due to normal degradation of the oxygen cell. In order to avoid nuisance alarms in this situation, it is possible to temporarily adjust the O2 cell during ventilation.
When the O2 cell adaptation function is activated, the oxygen cell is re-adjusted so that the current measured O2 concentration is equal to the O2 concentration set by the user. This temporary adjustment will be valid until the ventilator is switched off.

6.1 INTRODUCTION

The SERVO-i Ventilator System can operate in several different modes. This chapter describes the modes, their settings, and associated safety information.
It also summarizes special ventilatory functions, backup ventilation, and breathing parameters.
See the Technical data chapter for default values and allowed ranges for the breathing parameters.
Note:
The SERVO-i Ventilator System is delivered preset with the following configuration options:
Breathing parameters are based on either Minute Volume or Tidal Volume.
Breathing parameters are based on either I:E Ratio or Inspiration Time.

6.1.1 WARNINGS

The following warnings apply to Non Invasive Ventilation (NIV) only:
- Avoid high inspiratory pressure as it may lead to gastric overdistention and risk of aspiration. It may also cause excessive leakage.
- Use of the Nebulizer is not recommended.
- We recommend ventilator-independent monitoring for Nasal CPAP.
Ensure that PRVC, SIMV (PRVC) and VS function properly (especially for small patients):
- Avoid leakage (e.g. due to an uncuffed endotracheal tube).
- If compliance compensation is used, make sure that the compressible volume of the patient circuit is not changed after the Pre-use check / Patient Circuit Test has been performed (e.g. filling an active humidifier with water after the test has been made).
Note: Not all warnings apply to all modes.
WARNINGS!
Be sure to set alarm limits as appropriate for each mode, especially:
- Minute Volume Alarm
- Apnea time
Self-triggering should be avoided. Do not set the trigger sensitivity too high.
To protect the patient’s lungs from excessive pressure it is important to set the upper pressure limit to a suitable value.

6.1.2 APPLICATION

The SERVO-i Ventilator System also contains tools to assist the user in application of lung protective methodologies.

6.1.3 SCOPE - VENTILATORY NEEDS

When required, all ventilation is provided for mandatorily. When the patient is able to initiate a breath, the ventilator supports and monitors the patient´s breathing capability and controls ventilation only if required.
The ventilator can be used for:
1. controlled ventilation
2. supported ventilation, or
3. spontaneous breathing/CPAP
It also allows for combined ventilatory control or support. Spontaneous breathing efforts are sensed during controlled ventilation, e.g. Volume Control. Mandatory ventilation can be used during supported/spontaneous breathing, e.g. the enhanced SIMV functionality.
The Automode functionality continuously adapts to the patient´s breathing capability.

6.3 SETTINGS

6.3.1 TRIGGER FUNCTIONALITY

Trigger sensitivity determines the level of patient effort needed to trigger the ventilator to inspiration.
Trigger sensitivity can be set as flow triggering (settings above zero) or pressure triggering (settings below zero). Normally flow triggering is preferable as this enables the patient to breathe with less effort.
The sensitivity is set as high as possible without self-triggering. This ensures that triggering is patient initiated and avoids auto-cycling by the ventilator.
Important: In NIV it is not possible to set trigger sensitivity.
Trigg. Pressure Trigg. Flow
-20 10
WHITE GREEN RED
06
WARNINGS!
WARNING! The trigger sensitivity bar
has different colors based on the setting. A green bar indicates a normal setting for flow triggering. The risk of self-triggering increases when the bar is red. A white bar indicates pressure triggering.
WARNING! If the trigger sensitivity is set too high, a self triggering (auto-triggering) condition may be reached. This condition can also be reached if there is leakage in the breathing system, e.g. if an uncuffed endotracheal tube is used. Triggering will then be initiated by the system and not by the patient. This should always be avoided by decreasing the trigger sensitivity.
During expiration, the ventilator continuously delivers a gas flow (bias flow), which is measured in the expiratory channel. For details of the bias flow, see Technical data on page 226.
82
SERVO-i VENTILATOR SYSTEM V7.0, User´s Manual
| Ventilation, modes and functions |
6 |
At a trigger sensitivity level above zero (0), The ventilator senses deviations in the bias flow delivered during expiration. These deviations are caused by the inspiratory efforts of the patient. The further to the right on the scale, the more sensitive is the trigger function.
At a trigger sensitivity level below zero (0), the ventilator senses deviations in the pressure below PEEP created by the patient. The pressure below PEEP required to initiate a breath is shown when the setting is made. The further to the left on the scale, the more effort is required to trigger.

6.3.2 INSPIRATORY RISE TIME

100 %
t
Time to peak inspiratory flow or pressure at the start of each breath as a percentage of the respiratory cycle time or in seconds. Increased rise time will affect the rate of flow/pressure increase and can be evaluated by the shape of the flow and pressure waveforms.
SERVO-i VENTILATOR SYSTEM V7.0, User´s Manual
Inspiratory rise time (%) is applicable in Pressure Control, Volume Control, PRVC, SIMV-Volume Control, SIMV-Pressure Control, SIMV-PRVC. Setting can be in the range 0-20% of the respiratory cycle time.
83
| Ventilation, modes and functions |
| 6
Inspiratory rise time set in seconds is applicable in Pressure Support, Volume Support and Bi-Vent. For adults the range is 0-0.4 seconds and for infants the range is 0-0.2 seconds.
Note: When the ventilator is configured for setting of Inspiration time, the unit for Inspiratory rise time then automatically switches to seconds for all ventilation modes.
Normally in supported modes the Inspiratory rise time should be increased from the default setting and to give more comfort to the patient.

6.3.3 TRIGGER TIMEOUT

Trigger Timeout is the maximum allowed apnea time in Automode before controlled ventilation is activated.
Initially the ventilator adapts with a dynamic Trigger Timeout limit. This means that for the spontaneously triggering patient the timeout increases successively during the first ten breaths.
For Automode trigger timeout setting ranges, see section 230 on page 230.

6.3.4 PEEP

PEEP
SVX-646_EN
A Positive End Expiratory Pressure is maintained in the alveoli and may prevent the collapse of the airways.
For Positive End Expiratory Pressure setting ranges, see section 230 on page 231

6.3.5 I:E RATIO / INSPIRATION TIME

The setting of breathing parameters in SERVO-i Ventilator System can be configured in two different ways, based on:
I:E ratio (independent of changes of e.g. the breathing frequency) or,
Inspiration time in seconds (independent of changes of e.g. the breathing frequency), to better meet the requirements for infant care.
When the ventilator is configured for setting of Inspiration time, the unit for Pause time and Insp. rise time then automatically switches to seconds. The resulting I:E ratio for each setting is shown in the upper right information area of the ventilation mode window.
84
As the inspiration time is explicitly set, a change of for example the Respiratory Rate will affect the I:E ratio. As a safety precaution, it will therefore be indicated when the resulting I:E ratio passes 1:1 in either direction.

Note: The touchpad Breath cycle time is
not shown when an SIMV mode is selected, since there is no need to set Breath cycle time when Inspiration time is directly set.

6.3.6 INSPIRATORY CYCLE-OFF

SVX-205_XX
Inspiratory Cycle-off is the point at which inspiration changes to expiration in spontaneous and supported modes of ventilation. A decrease of the inspiratory flow to a preset level causes the ventilator to switch to expiration. This preset level is measured as a percentage of the maximum flow during inspiration.
For inspiratory cycle off setting ranges, see section 230 on page 230.

6.3.7 BREATH CYCLE TIME

This is the length of the breath i.e. the total cycle time of the mandatory breath in SIMV (inspiration, pause plus expiration).
Note: The touchpad Breath cycle time is not shown when an SIMV mode is selected and inspiration time is configured. Refer to heading I:E ratio / Inspiration times.
6.3.9 CONTROLLED / SUPPORTED
PRESSURE LEVEL
PC (Pressure Control level) above PEEP is the set inspiratory pressure level for each mandatory breath in Pressure Control and SIMV (PC) + PS, and also for backup ventilation in Pressure Support and NAVA.
PS (Pressure Support level) above PEEP is the set inspiratory pressure support level for triggered breaths in Pressure Support, SIMV modes and Bi-Vent.

6.3.10 O2 CONCENTRATION

The setting range for the gas mixer is 21% O to 100% O2. The alarm limits are automatically set at approximately 5% O2 above or below the set concentration value. The alarm is delayed 40 seconds after changing the O
2
concentration setting. There is also an absolute minimum alarm limit of 18% O2 which is independent of operating settings.

6.3.8 VOLUME SETTING

Depending on the ventilator configuration the inspiratory volume can be set as:
Minute Volume or,
Tidal Volume
86
SERVO-i VENTILATOR SYSTEM V7.0, User´s Manual

6.3.11 RESPIRATORY RATE / SIMV RATE

Respiratory rate is the number of controlled mandatory breaths per minute in controlled modes excluding SIMV. The respiratory rate is also used for calculation of tidal volume if the ventilator is configured for Minute volume setting. SIMV rate is the number of controlled mandatory breaths in SIMV modes.

6.4 VOLUME CONTROL

6.4.1 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION VOLUME CONTROL

In the flow/volume oriented modes a controlled flow is used to maintain the set inspiratory Tidal Volume.
Volume Controlled ventilation ensures that the patient receives a certain pre-set Minute/Tidal Volume.
The SERVO-i Ventilator System can be configured to set Tidal Volume or Minute Volume. The following parameters are set:
1. Tidal Volume (ml) or the Minute Volume (l/min)
2. Respiratory Rate (b/min)
3. PEEP (cmH2O)
4. Oxygen concentration (%)
5. I:E ratio / Insp. time
6. Pause time (%/s)
7. Inspiratory rise time (%/s)
8. Trigg. Flow / Trigg. Pressure
The airway pressure is dependent on the tidal volume, inspiration time and the resistance and compliance of the respiratory system. The set tidal volume will always be delivered. An increase in the resistance and decrease in compliance will lead to an increased airway pressure. To protect the patient's lungs from excessive pressure, it is very important to set the upper pressure limit to a suitable value.

6.4.2 FLOW ADAPTATION

It is possible for the patient to trigger extra breaths if they can overcome the pre-set trigger sensitivity. It is also possible for the patient, by their own inspiratory efforts, to receive a higher inspiratory flow and Tidal Volume during an inspiration than pre-set. The flow during inspiration is constant. The patient can trigger extra breaths.

SERVO-i VENTILATOR SYSTEM V7.0, User´s Manual

Volume Controlled ventilation has, by tradition, delivered each breath with a constant flow and constant inspiratory and expiratory times, according to the settings. The SERVO-i Ventilator System gives the possibility to the patient to modify both flow rate and timing. So, if a pressure drop of 3 cmH
O is detected
2
during inspiration, the ventilator cycles to Pressure Support with a resulting increase in inspiratory flow. When the flow decreases to the calculated target level this flow will be maintained until the set Tidal Volume is delivered.
The illustrated waveform show some practical consequences of this enhanced functionality.
the top waveform shows the trace for a normal Volume Controlled breath
the second waveform shows a situation when inspiration is prematurely interrupted as the set tidal volume has been delivered
the third waveform shows a situation where the patient maintains a flow rate higher than the calculated target value. The set Tidal Volume has been delivered when calculated target flow is reached and the inspiration is prematurely interrupted
the bottom waveform, shows a situation where the increased flow rate is maintained into the expiratory period. The patient will receive a higher tidal volume than set due to a higher flow/volume demand than calculated.

6.4.3 VOLUME CONTROL IN DETAIL

SVX-9002_XX
1. Volume Control assures a preset tidal volume with constant flow during a preset inspiratory time at a preset frequency.
2. The inspiratory flow is constant and depends on User Interface setting.
3. Inspiration starts according to the preset frequency or when the patient triggers.
4. If the patient makes an inspiratory effort during the inspiratory period, the ventilator will switch to Pressure Support to satisfy the patient´s flow demand.
1 2

4
Expiration starts:
a. When the preset tidal volume is delivered
and after the preset pause time.
b. When the flow returns to the set value after
the preset tidal volume is delivered and after the preset pause time (on-demand support). The patient is however always guaranteed an expiration time corresponding to at least 20% of the total breath.
c. If the upper pressure limit is exceeded.

6.5 PRESSURE CONTROL

6.5.1 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
PRESSURE CONTROL
The Pressure Controlled mode is a controlled breathing mode.
Breaths are delivered mandatorily at a preset pressure level, causing a decelerating flow pattern.
The following parameters are set:
1. PC (Pressure Control level) above PEEP (cmH2O)
2. Respiratory Rate (b/min)
3. PEEP (cmH2O)
4. Oxygen concentration (%)
5. I:E ratio / Insp. time
6. Inspiratory rise time (%/s)
7. Trigg. Flow / Trigg. Pressure
| Ventilation, modes and functions |
The delivered volume is dependent upon the pressure above PEEP, lung compliance and resistance in the patient tube system and airways. This means that the Tidal Volume can vary. Pressure Controlled mode is preferred when there is leakage in the breathing system e.g. due to uncuffed endotracheal tube or in situations when the maximum airway pressure must be controlled. The flow during inspiration is decelerating. The patient can trigger extra breaths. If the patient tries to exhale during the inspiration, the expiratory valve will allow exhalation as long as the pressure is more than 3 cmH2O above the set pressure level. As the delivered tidal volume can vary it is very important to set alarm limits for Minute Volume to adequate levels.

SVX-9003_XX
1. Pressure Control assures that the preset inspiratory pressure level is kept constant during the entire inspiration. Breaths are delivered according to the preset frequency, inspiration time and inspiratory pressure level resulting in a decelerating flow.
2. The preset pressure level is controlled by the ventilator. The resulting volume depends on the set pressure level, inspiration time and the patient´s lung mechanical properties during each breath with a decelerating flow.
3. Inspiration starts according to the preset frequency or when the patient triggers.
2 3
Expiration starts:
a. After the termination of preset inspiration
time.
b. If the upper pressure limit is exceeded.

6.6 PRESSURE REGULATED VOLUME CONTROL

6.6.1 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION PRVC

The Pressure Regulated Volume Control (PRVC) mode is a controlled breathing mode.
Breaths are delivered mandatorily to assure preset volumes, with a constant inspiratory pressure continuously adapting to the patient´s condition. The flow pattern is decelerating.
The ventilator delivers a pre-set Tidal Volume. The pressure is automatically regulated to deliver the pre-set volume but limited to 5 cmH2O below the set upper pressure limit.
The SERVO-i Ventilator System can be configured to set Tidal Volume or Minute Volume. The following parameters are set:
1. Tidal Volume (ml) or Minute Volume (l/min)
2. Respiratory Rate (b/min)
3. PEEP (cmH2O)
4. Oxygen concentration (%)
5. I:E ratio / Insp. time
6. Inspiratory rise time (%/s)
7. Trigg. Flow / Trigg. Pressure
The flow during inspiration is decelerating. The patient can trigger extra breaths.

1. PRVC assures a set target minute ventilation to the patient. The target volume is based upon settings for Tidal Volume, frequency and inspiration time.
2. The inspiratory pressure level is constant during each breath, but automatically adapts in small increments breath-by-breath to match the patient´s lung mechanical properties for target volume delivery.
3. Inspiration starts according to a preset frequency or when the patient triggers.

The first breath of a start sequence is a volume-controlled test breath with Pause time set to 10%. The measured pause pressure of this breath is then used as the pressure level for the following breath. An alarm is activated if the pressure level required to achieve the set target volume cannot be delivered due to a lower setting of the Upper pressure limit (- 5 cmH2O).

6.7 VOLUME SUPPORT

6.7.1 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION VOLUME
SUPPORT
A patient-adapted constant inspiratory support is supplied when activated by patient effort. The resulting volume is continuously monitored and the constant inspiratory pressure automatically adjusts to the required level. The patient determines frequency and duration of the breaths which show a decelerating flow pattern.
The Volume Support mode is a patient initiated breathing mode, where the patient will be given support in proportion to their inspiratory effort and the target Tidal Volume.

8. Resp.Rate (b/min) in backup ventilation.
9. I:E / Ti (s) in backup ventilation (depending on configuration).
If the patient’s activity increases the inspiratory pressure support will decrease provided the set Tidal Volume is maintained. If the patient breathes below the set Tidal Volume the inspiratory pressure support will increase.

SVX-657_EN
The start breath is given with 10 cmH2O support. From that breath the ventilator calculates and continuously regulates the pressure needed to deliver the pre-set Tidal Volume.
During the next 3 breaths of the start up sequence the maximum pressure increase is 20 cmH2O for each breath. After the start up sequence the pressure increases or decreases in steps of maximum 3 cmH2O.
If the delivered Tidal Volume decreases below the set Tidal Volume the pressure support level is increased in steps of maximum 3 cmH2O until preset Tidal Volume is delivered. If the pressure support level causes a larger Tidal Volume than preset, the support pressure is lowered in steps of maximum 3 cmH2O until the preset Tidal Volume is delivered.
For maximum inspiration time, see section Functions in ventilation modes on page 235.
An alarm is activated if the pressure level required to achieve the set target volume cannot be delivered due to a lower setting of the upper pressure limit - 5 cmH2O.
In this mode it is also important to set the apnea time appropriate to the individual patient situation. If this time is reached then the ventilator will automatically switch to backup ventilation. In all spontaneous modes it is important to set the Minute Volume alarm.
