Introduction
1.3.7 Warnings Regarding Ventilator Settings
WARNING:
The ventilator offers a variety of breath delivery options. Throughout the patient's treatment, the
clinician should carefully select the ventilation mode and settings to use for that patient, based on
clinical judgment, the condition and needs of the patient, and the benefits, limitations, and
characteristics of the breath delivery options. As the patient's condition changes over time,
periodically assess the chosen modes and settings to determine whether or not those are best for
the patient's current needs.
WARNING:
Avoid nuisance alarms by applying appropriate alarm settings.
WARNING:
To prevent inappropriate ventilation, select the correct Tube Type (ET or Tracheostomy) and tube
inner diameter (ID) for the patient’s ventilatory needs. Inappropriate ventilatory support leading
to over-or under-ventilation could result if an ET tube or trach tube setting larger or smaller than
the actual value is entered.
WARNING:
Setting expiratory volume alarms to OFF increases the risk of not detecting a low returned volume.
WARNING:
Setting any alarm limits to OFF or extreme high or low values can cause the associated alarm not
to activate during ventilation, which reduces its efficacy for monitoring the patient and alerting
the clinician to situations that may require intervention.
1.3.8 Warnings Regarding Hoses, Tubing, and Accessories
WARNING:
To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) and potential fire hazard, do not use antistatic or
electrically conductive hoses or tubing in or near the ventilator breathing system.
WARNING:
Adding accessories to or removing accessories from the ventilator breathing system (VBS) can
change the pressure gradient across the VBS and affect ventilator performance. Ensure that any
changes to the ventilator circuit configurations do not exceed the specified values for circuit
compliance and for inspiratory or expiratory limb total resistance. See Table11-4.on page 11-3. If
adding accessories to or removing accessories from the VBS, always run SST to establish circuit
compliance and resistance prior to ventilating the patient.
1-8 Operator's Manual
WARNING:

2.1 Overview
This chapter contains introductory information for the Puritan Bennett™ 980 Series Ventilator.
Note:
•Items shown in bold-italic font are contained as entries in the glossary.
•Items shown in bold font are physical hardware features (e.g., to patient port, exhaust port)
•Alarms are shown in ALL CAPITAL letters.
Communication between the ventilator’s graphical user interface (GUI) and the breath deliv-ery unit (BDU) occurs continuously via independent central processing units (CPUs).
See Figure2-12.on page 2-36 and Figure2-13.on page 2-38 and their associated reference designators when reading the following paragraphs.
Gas delivery starts with the ventilator connected to wall (or bottled) air and oxygen. Gas travels
to the mix module where gas pressures are regulated by their respective proportional solenoid valves (PSOLs). The PSOLs meter the gases according to the ventilator settings entered, then
the gases flow through individual air and oxygen flow sensors into the mix manifold and accumulator for mixing. The individual gas pressures are continuously monitored both before and
after they are mixed in the mix manifold and accumulator assemblies. The mixed gas then flows
to the inspiratory pneumatic system where it flows through the breath delivery flow sensor and
then the inspiratory PSOL for delivery to the patient.
Before the gas reaches the patient, it passes through an internal inspiratory bacteria filter, then
through an external inspiratory bacteria filter attached to the ventilator’s gas outlet (the to patient port) where the breathing circuit is attached. When the gas returns from the patient, it
flows through the expiratory limb of the breathing circuit, to the from patient port on the exhalation bacteria filter (which includes a condensate vial) before flowing through the exhalation
flow sensor and exhalation valve (EV). A gas exhaust port allows exhaled gas to exit the ventilator and flow to the room.
The ventilator recognizes the patient’s breathing effort using pressure triggering (P-Trig) or
flow triggering (

Mounting Configurations
Mounting Configurations
2.7
The ventilator system can be mounted as a free-standing unit standing at the patient’s bedside;
the BDU with the GUI is mounted on a base with casters and includes a handle for ease of movement. The ventilator system may also be purchased in a pendant-mount configuration, as shown
in Figure2-8.Contact your local representative for more information.
The ventilator system uses a battery to provide backup power in case AC power is lost. When
operating on battery power, the status display shows the “On Battery Power” image, and the GUI
displays a representation of battery charge levels. See Table2-9.on page 2-27 for a description of
the status display images and messages. An optional, extended battery is available to lengthen
the amount of time the ventilator can operate on battery power. See Using Battery Power, page 3-
2.
2.9 Graphical User Interface
There are two displays on the ventilator—the primary display (GUI) and the status display.
2.9.1 Primary Display
The GUI incorporates a 15 inch display that rotates throughout a 170° angle about a vertical axis
in either direction. The GUI can also be tilted up to 45° from vertical.
The clinician enters ventilation parameters via the GUI’s touch screen, also known as the ventilator’s primary display. The GUI’s keys activate other ventilator functions including screen brightness, display lock, alarm volume, manual inspiration, inspiratory pause, expiratory pause, alarm
reset, and audio paused.

if AC power is present. If there is no AC power available, the compressor is powered by its internal
battery. The compressor interface printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) communicates with the
breath delivery CPU PCBA. See the Compressor Operator’s Manual Addendum for details regarding
compressor operation.
WARNING:
Use of the compressor in altitudes higher or barometric pressures lower than those specified could
compromise ventilator or compressor operation. See Table11-8.on page 11-6 for environmental

3.3 Product Assembly
3.3.1 How to Assemble Ventilator Components
Ventilator setup, including a successful EST, should have already been completed by qualified
service personnel. This manual does not include ventilator assembly instructions.
3.3.2 Product Power Sources
Using AC Power
The ventilator is normally AC-powered. See Connecting the Ventilator to AC Power (3.5.1) on page
3-5 to connect the ventilator to AC power.
Using Battery Power
WARNING:
Use only Covidien batteries. Using other manufacturer’s brands could result in the batteries
operating the ventilator for less than the specified amount of time or could cause a fire hazard.
WARNING:
One primary battery must be installed at all times in the BDU’s primary battery slot for proper
ventilator operation. The ventilator will not complete the startup process without the primary
battery installed. See Figure3-13.on page 3-20 to identify battery slots.
The ventilator’s primary battery must be installed by qualified service personnel (as it is shipped
separately) before patient use. The ventilator will not complete power on self test (POST) if the
battery is not present, and ventilation is prohibited. Ensure the battery is fully charged before
placing the ventilator into service.
3-2 Operator's Manual
Product Assembly
The ventilator employs a battery backup system if AC power becomes unavailable or drops below
approximately 90 volts. A new, fully charged battery provides at least 1 hour of power to the ventilator assuming ambient temperature of 20°C (68°F) to 25°C (77°F), PBW=70 kg, and at factory
default ventilator settings.
The battery back-up systems for the ventilator and compressor contain one primary battery each.
Backup power is supplied to the ventilator in the event of an AC power loss.
One extended battery receptacle is available for the ventilator and one extended battery receptacle is available for the compressor. If both primary and extended ventilator and compressor batteries are present, these batteries can power the ventilator and compressor for 2 hours (1 hour for
the primary battery and 1 hour for the extended battery) under the environmental conditions
described above. When using battery power, the ventilator and compressor operate from their
extended batteries, if present, first and then switch to the primary batteries. The ventilator and
compressor primary and extended batteries are charged whenever the ventilator is plugged into
AC power (the ventilator does not have to be powered up). If the ventilator or compressor is operating on battery power, the status display shows which battery is in use and its charge level, and
the remaining time the battery will operate before charging is required again.
Battery Charging
Batteries requiring charging are charged whenever the ventilator is connected to AC power,
whether operating or not.
The ventilator and compressor charge their primary batteries first, then their extended batteries.
The time required to charge a single battery (either primary or extended) is approximately 6 hours
at room temperature whether the ventilator is turned off (but connected to AC power) or operating, but charging time can vary based on temperature or depletion state of the battery. The status
display provides the batteries’ capacities.
Green LED bars located on the ends of both primary and extended batteries (if installed) scroll
upwards indicating battery charging. A white LED bar represents the battery is in use and a round
LED indicator illuminates red if there is a battery fault. When running on battery power, battery
capacity is determined by the number of green LED bars illuminated. See Figure3-12.on page
3-19 to view the LEDs. See page 3-18 for information on interpreting the battery capacity. Green
LED bars do not scroll if the battery is not charging or is in use.
The compressor’s battery charging system (if a compressor is present) operates independently
from the ventilator’s charging system and batteries are charged in parallel.
If a battery fault occurs, the fault is annunciated, charging of the faulty battery discontinues, but
charging of any other non-faulty battery continues. A faulty battery will cause annunciation of the
error and battery power will not be available from that battery.
The ventilator status display indicates the charge level of the installed batteries, the presence of
one or more battery faults, and which battery is being charged.
The ventilator operates no differently when its batteries are charging than it does when the batteries are fully charged.
Operator's Manual3-3
Installation
The ventilator continues operating as set when the ventilator switches from AC power to battery
power and illuminates an indicator on the status display alerting the operator that the ventilator
is now operating on battery power and AC POWER LOSS alarm annunciates. A medium priority
alarm annunciates when the remaining run-time for the ventilator drops to 10 minutes and a high
priority alarm annunciates when the remaining time drops to 5 minutes.
3.4 Product Placement
The ventilator is positioned standing on its casters next to the patient’s bedside, as shown in
Figure3-1., or if using a pendant-mounted configuration, Figure3-2.

3.6.3 Battery Performance Test Results
Performance testing on a sample of new batteries and batteries charged and discharged at least
1000 times was completed to demonstrate that the ventilator’s LOW BATTERY alarms remain
effective. Testing demonstrated that the batteries have a minimum of 10 minutes time remaining
from the activation of the low battery alarm and a minimum of 5 minutes time remaining from
the critically low battery alarm until ventilator shutdown. See Table2-9.on page 2-27 for images
of the Status Display during low battery and critically low battery conditions.
Performance testing on a sample of new batteries and batteries charged and discharged at least
1000 times was completed to demonstrate the expected run time of the ventilator on battery.

The run time does not vary significantly between typical and heavy load settings. The ventilator
can be expected to run approximately 75 minutes at typical settings with new batteries. When
running batteries nearing end of life (batteries with 1000 charge/discharge cycles were used for
this data) the run time can be expected to be approximately 55 minutes.
3.6.4 Battery Life
Battery life for both primary and extended batteries is approximately 3 years. Actual battery life
depends on the history of use and ambient conditions. As the batteries age with use, the time the
ventilator will operate on battery power from a fully charged battery will decrease. Replace the
battery every 3 years or sooner if battery operation time is insufficient for your usage.
3.6.5 Battery Disposal
The battery is considered electronic waste and must be disposed of according to local regulations. Follow local governing ordinances and recycling plans regarding disposal or recycling of
the battery.
