Full Menu Access Mode
The ventilator has two levels of menu access, Full and Limited. Full
Menu Access allows you to alter all available settings. Limited Menu
access permits the user to alter only those prescription parameters
that aect patient comfort, such as Rise Time, Flex, and Ramp Start
Pressure, if those parameters are available as part of the prescription.
The ventilator defaults to Full Menu Access mode.
After accessing the Main Menu, if the device is in Limited Menu
Access mode, you can use the following Setup key sequence to enter
Full Menu Access mode and be able to change prescription settings:
• Press the Down button and the Alarm Indicator/Audio
Pause button simultaneously for several seconds. This will
temporarily place the device in Full Menu Access mode.
When you perform this key sequence from the Monitor screen,
the Main Menu screen appears and an audible indicator sounds
indicating you are now in Full Menu Access mode.
When you perform this key sequence when the airow is o, the
Setup screen appears and an audible indicator sounds.
You can go into the Options menu and permanently change the
Menu Access setting to Full Menu Access. Otherwise, the device
will return to the Menu Access mode stored in the setting once you
exit the menu screens or if one minute passes without pressing any
device buttons. If you are in the Setup mode, and an SD card is in the
device, “Write Event Log to SD Card” will appear in the menu.
Note: The Full Menu Access key
sequence can be performed
either from the Power O screen
or from the Monitor screen.
Note: When the airow is o
and AC power is removed from
the device for more than 5
minutes, the device will enter
a low power mode to save
battery life. When the device is
in low power mode, the Setup
key sequence will be ignored.
Press the Start/Stop button, or
connect AC power, or insert an
SD card to exit the low power
mode.
Note: Philips Respironics
recommends that after you are
nished changing prescription

Intended Use
The Philips Respironics Trilogy200 system provides continuous
or intermittent ventilatory support for the care of individuals who
require mechanical ventilation. Trilogy200 is intended for pediatric
through adult patients weighing at least 5 kg (11 lbs.).
The device is intended to be used in home, institution/hospital, and
portable applications such as wheelchairs and gurneys, and may be
used for both invasive and non-invasive ventilation. It is not intended
to be used as a transport ventilator.
The system is recommended to be used only with various
combinations of Philips Respironics-approved patient circuit
accessories, such as patient interface devices, humidiers, water
traps, and circuit tubing.
Trilogy200 clinical manual
Warnings and Cautions
Caution: U.S. federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Warnings
A warning indicates the possibility of injury to the user or operator.
Patient MonitoringPrior to placing a patient on the ventilator, a clinical assessment should
be performed to determine:
• The device alarm settings
• Needed alternative ventilation equipment
• If an alternative monitor (i.e., an alarming Pulse Oximeter or
Respiratory Monitor) should be used
Alternative
Ventilation
Patient Disconnect
Protection
For ventilator dependent patients, always have alternate ventilation
equipment, such as a back-up ventilator, manual resuscitator, or similar
device, available.
Ventilator dependent patients should be continuously monitored by
qualied personnel. These personnel should be prepared to provide
alternate therapy in the event of ventilator failure or inoperative
equipment.
For ventilator dependent patients, do not rely on any single alarm
to detect a circuit disconnect condition. The Low Tidal Volume, Low
Minute Ventilation, Low Respiratory Rate, and Apnea alarms should
be used in conjunction with the Circuit Disconnect and Low Peak
Inspiratory Pressure alarms.
Test the operation of the circuit disconnect function daily and
whenever a change is made to the patient circuit. An increase in circuit
resistance can prevent proper operation of some alarms.
Speaking valves, Heat Moisture Exchangers (HMEs), and lters create
additional circuit resistance and may aect the performance of alarms
chosen for circuit disconnect protection.
Do not set the Low Peak Inspiratory Pressure alarm too low, or the
system may not detect large circuit leaks or a patient disconnect.

Power
Trilogy200 is a restricted medical device designed for use by
Respiratory Therapists or other trained and qualied caregivers under
the supervision of a physician.
The prescription and other device settings should only be changed on
the order of the supervising physician.
The operator of the ventilator is responsible to read and understand
this manual before use.
The device can provide therapies typically associated with both
ventilator dependent and non-dependent patients. The mode of
ventilation, circuit type, and alarm strategies should be chosen after a
clinical evaluation of each patient’s needs.
C-Flex, Bi-Flex, and AVAPS are intended for use by adult patients.
When you change the device prescription, alarms, and other settings
using the SD card, Trilogy200 requires that the caregiver review and
verify the changes prior to the changes being used by the device. The
caregiver or health care professional is responsible to ensure that the
prescription settings are correct and compatible with the patient after
using this feature. Installing the wrong prescription for a particular
patient may result in improper therapy, lack of appropriate safety
monitoring, and risk of death or injury to the patient.
This device is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment
specied in Chapter 13 of this manual. The user of this device should
make sure it is used in a compatible environment.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be
used no closer to any part of the device, including cables, than the
recommended separation distance calculated using the information
provided in Chapter 13 of this manual.
The internal battery is NOT intended to serve as a primary power
source. It should only be used when other sources are not available or
briey when necessary; for example, when changing power sources.
The ventilator has a two-stage low battery alarm. The medium priority
alarm indicates that approximately 20 minutes of operation remain,
and the high priority alarm indicates that less than 10 minutes of
operation remain. Actual run time may be more or less than this and
varies with battery age, environmental conditions, and therapy.
Immediately seek an alternate power source when the “Low Battery”
alarm appears. Complete power failure and loss of therapy is imminent.

Operating
and Storage
Temperatures
Do not use this device if the ambient temperature is warmer than
40˚ C (104˚ F). If the device is used at room temperatures warmer than
40˚ C, the temperature of the airow may exceed 43˚ C. This could
cause system alarms, thermal irritation, or injury to the patient’s airway.
Bacteria FilterPhilips Respironics recommends that a main line outlet bacteria lter
(Part Number 342077) be used whenever the device is used for invasive
therapy or if the ventilator may be used on multiple patients.
Patient Circuits
(General)
The ventilator should only be used with patient interfaces (e.g., masks,
circuits and exhalation ports) recommended by Philips Respironics.
Proper operation of the device, including alarms, with other circuits has
not been veried by Philips Respironics and is the responsibility of the
health care professional or respiratory therapist.
When adding any components to the breathing system, the ow
resistance and dead space of the added components such as
humidiers, speaking valves, Heat Moisture Exchangers (HMEs) and
lters should be carefully considered in relation to the potential for
adverse eects on the patient’s ventilatory management and device
alarms.
Passive CircuitsAn exhalation port is required when using a passive circuit.
For the passive circuit, at low expiratory pressures, the ow through
the exhalation port may be inadequate to clear all exhaled gas from
the tubing – some rebreathing may occur. Rebreathing of exhaled air
for longer than several minutes can in some circumstances lead to
suocation.
Active CircuitsOnly use the active exhalation devices designed for Trilogy200. Philips
Respironics has not veried proper operation of other active exhalation
devices, and their use may result in improper or unsafe device
operation.
With active exhalation circuits, the exhalation device must be operating
properly for the ventilator to deliver therapy. The exhalation device
should be inspected on a daily basis and replaced whenever necessary.
System CheckoutDo not use the ventilator on a patient until a system checkout has been
performed. See Chapter 10 of this manual.
To make sure the device is operating properly at start-up, always verify
that the audible tone sounds and the alarm LEDs light red and then
yellow momentarily. Contact Philips Respironics or an authorized
service center for service if these indications do not occur at start-up.
Chapter 1 Introduction

Remote AlarmsWhen using a remote alarm, make sure you fully test the remote alarm
connector and cable by verifying that:
– Annunciated alarms on the ventilator are also
annunciated on the remote alarm.
– Disconnecting the remote alarm cable from the
ventilator or from the remote alarm results in an alarm
notication at the remote alarm.
The remote alarm should be tested daily.
OxygenWhen administering xed-ow supplemental oxygen, the oxygen
concentration may not be constant. The inspired oxygen concentration
will vary, depending on the pressures, patient ows and circuit leak.
Substantial leaks may reduce the inspired oxygen concentration to less
than the expected value. Appropriate patient monitoring should be
used, as medically indicated, such as an alarming pulse oximeter.
This device DOES NOT alarm for loss of the low ow oxygen supply.
This device is intended to be connected to a low ow (0-15 l/min)
oxygen source such as an oxygen concentrator or other oxygen source
equipped with a pressure regulator (set to 50 PSI or less) and a ow
regulator/meter.
Do not connect the device to an unregulated or high pressure oxygen
source.
The device may result in incorrect ow and tidal volume measurements
and improper operation of related alarms if you add low ow oxygen
directly into the patient circuit or mask instead of using the oxygen
inlet on the back of the ventilator.
Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen should not be used while
smoking or in the presence of an open ame.
If oxygen is used with the device, the oxygen ow must be turned
o when the device is not in use. Explanation of the Warning:
When the device is not in operation and the oxygen ow is left on,
oxygen delivered into the tubing may accumulate within the device’s
enclosure.
Fire or ExplosionThe ventilator should not be operated in the presence of ammable
gasses. This could cause a re or explosion.
Trilogy200 clinical manual
AlarmsRespond immediately to any alarm. It may indicate a potentially
life-threatening condition. Refer to the Alarms and Troubleshooting
chapters for more information.
Visually monitor the patient and ventilator at all times during an Alarm
Silence period. Allowing alarms to continue without intervention may
result in harm to the patient.
If the high priority “Low Internal Battery” message appears,
immediately connect the ventilator to an alternate power source. If no
alternate power source is available, immediately place the patient on
an alternate source of ventilation.
If the “Ventilator Inoperable” alarm occurs, immediately place the
patient on an alternate source of ventilation.
You should not rely on any single alarm to detect a circuit disconnect
condition. The Low Tidal Volume, Low Minute Ventilation, Low
Respiratory Rate, and Apnea alarms should be used in conjunction with
the Circuit Disconnect alarm.
Make sure the alarm volume is set loud enough to be heard by the
caregiver. Consider the use of a remote alarm.
Trilogy200 oers the following circuit type selections:
• Passive
• Active Flow
• Active PAP (Proximal Airway Pressure )
7
Improperly
Functioning
Ventilator
The Passive circuit type provides an ESTIMATE of Vte.
Only the Active Flow circuit type directly measures exhaled tidal
volume (Vte).
The Active PAP circuit type DOES NOT measure Vte and only provides
for an indication of the delivered tidal volume (Vti).
If you notice any unexplained changes in the performance of the
device, if it is making unusual sounds, if the device or detachable
battery are dropped, if water is spilled into the enclosure, or if the
enclosure is cracked or broken, discontinue use and contact Philips
Respironics or an authorized service center for service.

MaintenanceFollow the service recommendations provided in Chapter 7 of this
manual.
Periodically inspect electrical cords, cables, and the detachable battery
pack for damage or signs of wear. Discontinue use and replace if
damaged.
Repairs and adjustments must be performed by Philips Respironicsauthorized service personnel only. Unauthorized service could cause
death or injury, invalidate the warranty, or result in costly device
damage.
Cleaning
(Refer to Chapter 7
for detailed cleaning
instructions.)
To avoid electrical shock, always unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet before cleaning the ventilator.
Do not immerse the device in any uids or spray the device with water
or cleaners. Clean the device with a cloth dampened with an approved
cleaner.
If the device has been exposed to rain or dampness, dry the device
including the area around the power cord connection with the power
cord disconnected from the device before applying AC power.
Cautions
A caution indicates the possibility of damage to the device.
StorageThe internal and detachable batteries will self-discharge in storage. If it
is desired to keep the batteries fully charged (for example, as a backup ventilator), plug the device into AC power for about eight hours
every 16 days. Alternatively, the ventilator may be left continuously
connected to AC power without battery degradation.
Allowing the batteries to fully discharge will not harm the batteries or
lose device settings, but may require a longer battery charge time prior
to use.

Operating
and Storage
Temperatures
The device may only be operated at temperatures between 5˚ C and
40˚ C (41˚ F and 104˚ F).
Do not operate the device in direct sunlight or near a heating
appliance because these conditions can increase the temperature of
the airow delivered to the patient.
Prolonged operation or storage at elevated temperatures may reduce
the service life of the battery and other internal components of the
ventilator.
The ventilator has an internal and detachable Lithium-Ion Battery. Do
not expose the device or detachable battery to temperatures above
40˚ C (104˚ F) during use, or above 60˚ C (140˚ F) during storage. This
will reduce battery life and may increase the risk of re or damage the
battery.
CondensationCondensation may aect operation or accuracy of the device. If the
device has been exposed to either very hot or very cold temperatures
during storage, allow it to adjust to ambient temperature before
starting therapy.
Air FilterThe reusable foam inlet lter is required to protect the ventilator from
dirt and dust. Wash periodically and replace when damaged for proper
operation.
Cooling Air VentsDo not block the cooling air vents located on the base and the rear
of the device. This may cause the device to overheat in high ambient
temperatures or at high therapy settings.
Battery LifeThe internal and detachable batteries wear out based on the amount
of use (hours or full charge-discharge cycles). The battery capacity and
life are also reduced by operation at higher temperatures.
Detachable BatteryOnly use the Philips Respironics Trilogy Detachable Battery with the
ventilator.
CleaningDo not steam autoclave the ventilator. Doing so will destroy the
ventilator.
Do not immerse the device in liquid or allow any liquid to enter the
enclosure or inlet lter.
Do not spray water or any other solutions directly onto the ventilator.
Do not use harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners, or brushes to clean the
ventilator system. Use only cleaning agents and methods listed in this
manual.
Chapter 1 Introduction

Patient CircuitExhalation valves, patient circuits, and water traps are shipped clean,
not sterile. Cleaning and disinfection of these parts should follow
individual institution processes and conform to guidelines provided by
Philips Respironics with each accessory.
External DC PowerDo not use the same external battery to operate both the ventilator
and any other equipment such as power chairs.
An external battery should only be connected to the ventilator using
the Philips Respironics Trilogy External Battery Cable. This cable is
fused, pre-wired, and properly terminated to ensure safe connection
to a standard deep-cycle, lead acid battery. Use of any other adapter or
cable may cause improper operation of the ventilator.
The ventilator should only be connected to an automotive electrical
system using the Philips Respironics Trilogy Automotive Adapter
(when available). This adapter is fused, ltered, and designed for safe
connection to a standard automotive electrical system. Use of any
other adapter or cable may cause improper operation of the ventilator.
Do not operate the ventilator from a car electrical system when
starting the vehicle or jump-starting the vehicle. Electrical transients
during starting may cause improper operation of the ventilator.

3. Modes, Features, and Alarms
Therapy Modes
The device provides Pressure Control Ventilation (PCV) and Volume
Control Ventilation (VCV) for non-invasive and invasive patients.
Pressure Control ventilation delivers a prescribed pressure to
the patient according to set breath rate and set inspiration time
parameters. This means that each breath is controlled so that a
prescribed amount of pressure is delivered to the patient. The device
oers six dierent Pressure Control modes of operation:
Volume Control ventilation delivers a prescribed inspired tidal
volume to the patient according to set breath rate and set inspiratory
time parameters. This means that each breath is controlled so that a
prescribed tidal volume is delivered to the patient. The device oers
three dierent Volume Control modes of operation:
There are four breath types that apply to the Volume Control and
Pressure Control ventilation therapy modes:
• Spontaneous
• Mandatory
• Assisted
• Sigh
Spontaneous Breath
A Spontaneous breath is triggered by the patient. Breaths are
initiated by the patient’s inhalation eort, and air delivery is
controlled based on the current pressure or volume setting. Breaths
are terminated by either the ventilator settings or by the patient’s
exhalation eort, depending on the mode selected.
Mandatory Breath
A Mandatory breath (or machine breath) is completely controlled by
the ventilator. The ventilator controls both the beginning (triggering)
and end (cycling) of the inspiratory phase.
Assisted Breath
An Assisted breath is controlled by both the patient and the ventilator.
Breaths are initiated by the patient’s eort and air delivery is controlled
by the current pressure or volume settings. Volume Assisted breaths
will deliver the prescribed Tidal Volume within the prescribed
Inspiratory Time. Pressure Assisted breaths will deliver the prescribed
Inspiratory Pressure for the prescribed Inspiratory Time. Breaths are
terminated when the Inspiratory Time setting has been reached.
Sigh
A Sigh breath is a breath where 150% of the prescribed volume
is delivered. The device will deliver this breath once every 100
Mandatory or Assist breaths when the Sigh setting is enabled. Sigh
breaths are only available in volume modes of ventilation.

Pressure Control Ventilation Therapy Modes
Pressure Control ventilation modes deliver a prescribed pressure to
the patient.
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Mode
In the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) mode, the device
delivers a continuous pressure to the patient at all times. All breaths
in this mode are Spontaneous breaths.
Spontaneous (S) Mode
In Spontaneous (S) mode, the device delivers bi-level pressure
support. This mode provides only spontaneous breaths. In this
mode, an Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure (IPAP) is delivered
during inhalation and a lower Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure
(EPAP) is delivered during exhalation. The following illustration
describes these concepts.

breaths. A Mandatory breath is delivered if the patient does not
spontaneously breathe within the prescribed Breath Rate (BPM)
setting. This ensures that the patient receives a minimum number
of breaths per minute. In this mode, an IPAP is delivered during
inhalation and a lower EPAP is delivered during exhalation. The
duration of a Spontaneous breath is determined by the patient eort.
The duration of a Mandatory breath is determined by the inspiratory
time setting. The following illustration describes these concepts.

is delivered according to the prescribed BPM and inspiratory time
settings. This also means that the ventilator will not respond to
patient eort. In this mode, an IPAP is delivered during inhalation and
a lower EPAP is delivered during exhalation. The following illustration

Pressure Control - Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory
Ventilation (PC-SIMV) Mode
The Pressure Control – Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory
Ventilation (PC-SIMV) mode provides Spontaneous, Assist, and
Mandatory breaths. This mode uses a time window to decide
what type of breaths should be delivered. This time window is the
maximum time between breaths according to the set Breath Rate.
When you enter PC-SIMV mode, the time window is started. If
the patient does not trigger a breath, the ventilator will provide
a Mandatory breath when the time expires and then begin the
process again. Mandatory breaths deliver the Pressure setting during
inhalation and a lower Peak End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP)
during exhalation.
PC Mode
Chapter 3 Modes, Features, and Alarms

During the time window, if patient eort is detected, either a
Spontaneous or an Assist breath is delivered for the rst eort. If the
last breath delivered was Mandatory, then a Spontaneous breath is
delivered for the rst patient eort of the window. If the last breath
delivered was an Assist or Spontaneous breath, then an Assist breath
is delivered for the rst patient eort of the window. Assist breaths
deliver the Pressure setting during inhalation and the PEEP setting
during exhalation.
During the time window, if patient eort continues to be detected

Volume Control Ventilation Therapy Modes
Volume Control ventilation modes deliver a prescribed inspired tidal
volume according to a set Breath Rate and a set Inspiratory Time.
Control Ventilation (CV) Mode
In Control Ventilation (CV) mode, the device delivers volume control
therapy. This mode provides only Mandatory breaths. A Mandatory
breath is delivered according to the prescribed BPM setting for the
prescribed Inspiratory Time. This also means that the ventilator
will not respond to patient eort. In this mode, the Tidal Volume is

Assist Control (AC) Mode
In Assist Control (AC) mode, the device delivers volume control
therapy. This mode provides Assist and Mandatory breaths. An Assist
breath is started when there is patient eort, but it is ended when
the Inspiratory Time setting has been met. A Mandatory breath
is delivered if the patient does not spontaneously breathe within
the prescribed BPM setting. This ensures that the patient receives
a minimum number of breaths per minute. In this mode, the Tidal
Volume is delivered during inhalation and PEEP is delivered during
exhalation. The following illustration describes these concepts.
In Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) mode, the
device delivers both volume control and pressure control therapy.
This mode provides Spontaneous, Assist, and Mandatory breaths.
This mode uses a time window to decide what type of breaths should
be delivered. This time window is the maximum time between
breaths according to the set Breath Rate.
When you enter SIMV mode, the time window is started. If the
patient does not provide any eort, the ventilator will provide a
Mandatory Volume breath when the time expires and then begin the
process again. Mandatory breaths deliver the Tidal Volume setting
during inhalation and provide a lower Peak End Expiratory Pressure
(PEEP) during exhalation.
Trilogy200 clinical manual
During the time window, if patient eort is detected, either a
Spontaneous or an Assist breath is delivered for the rst eort. If the
last breath delivered was Mandatory, then a Spontaneous breath is

deliver the prescribed Tidal Volume during inhalation and the PEEP
setting during exhalation.
During the time window, if patient eort continues to be detected
(after the rst patient triggered breath), Spontaneous breaths are
delivered for the remainder of the window. Spontaneous breaths
deliver the prescribed Pressure Support setting above PEEP during
inhalation and PEEP during exhalation. The gure below provides

Therapy Mode Features
The device has several additional features that enhance patient
comfort.
Flex Comfort Feature
The device consists of a special comfort feature called Flex. The
device provides the Flex feature in CPAP mode and S mode. This
feature is only available when Auto-Trak is enabled.
C-Flex
When in CPAP mode, if C-Flex is enabled, it enhances patient comfort
by providing pressure relief during the expiratory phase of breathing.
In the following diagram, the dashed lines represent normal CPAP
therapy in comparison to the bold line representing C-Flex. C-Flex
levels of 1, 2, or 3 progressively reect increased pressure relief.

In S mode, the Bi-Flex attribute adjusts therapy by inserting a small
amount of pressure relief during the latter stages of inspiration and
during the beginning part of exhalation. In the following diagram,
the bold lines represent Bi-Flex in comparison to the dashed line

AVAPS Feature
Average Volume Assured Pressure Support (AVAPS) is a feature
available in the S, S/T, PC, and T modes. It helps patients maintain
a tidal volume (VT) equal to or greater than the target tidal volume
(Volume setting in the ventilator) by automatically controlling the
pressure support (PS) provided to the patient. The AVAPS feature
adjusts PS by varying the IPAP level between the minimum (IPAP Min)
and maximum (IPAP Max) settings. AVAPS averages VT and changes
the PS value gradually. This occurs over several minutes. The rate of
change is slow, so that the patient is not aware of breath-to-breath
pressure changes.
As patient eort decreases, AVAPS automatically increases PS to
maintain the target tidal volume. The IPAP level will not rise above
IPAP Max, even if the target tidal volume is not reached. Conversely,
as patient eort increases, AVAPS will reduce PS. IPAP will not fall
below IPAP Min, even if the target tidal volume is exceeded.
Rise Time
Note: AVAPS is only available if
you are using a passive circuit.
Note: C-Flex, Bi-Flex and AVAPS

If the Ramp function has been activated, it will take precedence over
the AVAPS feature. Once ramp is complete, AVAPS will resume.

result in a ow of less than 20 l/min. Therefore, for some settings,
a Ramp ow pattern may provide a pattern that more closely
resembles a Square ow pattern.

Sigh Feature
FLOW
The sigh feature is available for Volume ventilation modes only.
When the sigh feature is enabled, the ventilator delivers a sigh breath
in place of every 100th mandatory or assisted breath delivered
regardless of the mode of operation (i.e., AC, CV, and SIMV). The Sigh
breath is delivered using a volume equal to 150% of the set volume
that was in eect when the breath was initiated.
Dual Prescription Feature
35
Example of Sigh Feature
The device provides a dual prescription feature that allows you
to enter a primary prescription and a secondary prescription for
the patient if needed. For example, you can set a primary daytime
prescription and secondary nighttime prescription. See Chapter 5 for
more information on the dual prescription feature.
Chapter 3 Modes, Features, and Alarms
Note: Both prescriptions must
use the same circuit type.
36
Triggering
The device can be set to trigger breaths using the Auto-Trak or Flow
Trigger sensitivity features.
Digital Auto-Trak Sensitivity
An important characteristic of the device is its ability to recognize
and compensate for unintentional leaks in the system and to
automatically adjust its trigger and cycle algorithms to maintain
optimum performance in the presence of leaks. This feature is known
as Digital Auto-Trak Sensitivity. The following sections examine this
function in detail by describing the leak tolerance function and
sensitivity.
Leak Tolerance
A microprocessor monitors the total ow of the patient circuit and
calculates patient ow values.
A. Leak Estimation: Average and Parabolic
The device uses two leak estimation algorithms. A conservation
of mass algorithm is used to compute the average leak for a given
pressure support relationship. This average leak is used when large
leak variations are present in the system. Average leak is a high
estimate during EPAP pressure and a low estimate during IPAP
pressure. A better leak estimate, enabled by the digital system, is the
parabolic leak algorithm. Parabolic leak is proportional to the square
of the patient pressure; therefore, the leak estimate is correlated to
the changing patient pressure. Both algorithms include unintentional
circuit leak and are averaged over several breaths.
B. Patient Flow
The total circuit ow is comprised of the circuit leak and the patient
ow. The calculated patient ow is the total ow minus the circuit
leak. Patient ow is a primary input into the triggering and cycling
mechanisms.
Trilogy200 clinical manual
Auto-Trak Sensitivity
An essential feature of the device while operating in all modes is
its ability to eectively sense spontaneous breathing eorts, which
causes the ventilator to trigger to inspiration and cycle to expiration.
Because no preset sensitivity threshold can assure patient and
machine synchrony with changing breathing eorts and circuit
leaks, the device continuously tracks patient breathing patterns
and automatically adjusts sensitivity thresholds to ensure optimum
sensitivity as breathing patterns change or as circuit leaks change.
The algorithms used to ensure optimum sensitivity are the Volume
Trigger, Shape Signal, Spontaneous Expiratory Threshold (SET), Flow
Reversal, Maximum IPAP Time, and Volume Control Cycle.
Volume Trigger (Expiration to Inspiration):
The volume trigger is one method used to trigger inspiration during
spontaneous breathing in all modes except T and CV. The volume
trigger threshold is 6 ml of accumulated patient inspiratory volume.
When patient eort generates inspiratory flow causing 6 ml of
volume, inspiration is triggered.
37
Note: Auto-Trak is only
available if you are using a
passive circuit.
Shape Trigger/Shape Cycle (Expiration to Inspiration) (Inspiration to
Expiration):
The shape trigger/cycle is another method used to trigger inspiration
and/or cycle from inspiration to expiration during spontaneous
breathing in all modes except T and CV. This method continuously
tracks patient inspiratory and expiratory flow and adjusts the
spontaneous trigger and cycle thresholds for optimum sensitivity.
The Shape Signal appears as a shadow image of the patient’s actual
flow. The shape signal functions as a sensitivity threshold at either
inspiration or expiration. When the patient’s flow rate crosses the
shape signal the unit changes pressure levels. The following gure
illustrates how the shape signal is super-imposed onto the actual
waveform to trigger and cycle o IPAP. The shape signal is created
by osetting the signal from the actual patient flow by 15 l/min and
delaying it for a 300 msec period. This intentional delay causes the
shape signal to be slightly behind the patient’s flow rate.

Spontaneous Expiratory Threshold (Inspiration to Expiration):
IPAP
A second method used to cycle to expiration during spontaneous
breathing in all modes except T, CV, AC, and SIMV, is called
Spontaneous Expiratory Threshold (SET). The SET rises in proportion
to the inspiratory flow rate on each breath. When the SET and actual
patient flow value are equal, the unit cycles to expiration.

Flow Reversal (Inspiration to Expiration):
As ow begins to decrease during inspiration, a ow reversal can
occur due to a large leak around the mask or because the patient’s
mouth is open. When the device senses this ow reversal, it
automatically cycles to expiration.
Maximum IPAP Time (Inspiration to Expiration):
The maximum inspiratory time is determined by the adjustment of
the Inspiratory time setting. A maximum IPAP time of 3.0 seconds
acts as a safety mechanism to limit the time spent in inspiration
during spontaneous breathing. For mandatory or assisted breaths,
the maximum inspiratory time will equal the Inspiratory time setting
up to 5.0 seconds.
Chapter 3 Modes, Features, and Alarms
40
Volume Control Cycle (Inspiration to Expiration) (Only available
during Volume Control Therapy)
An Inspiratory Time setpoint limits the time spent in inspiration
during breathing in all modes. Once the time limit is reached, the unit
automatically cycles to expiration.
Flow Trigger
Flow trigger provides a manual setting that allows for breath
initiation and termination based on a set ow trigger sensitivity and
ow cycle sensitivity.
Flow Trigger Sensitivity (Expiration to Inspiration):
The ow trigger initiates when the patient’s inspiratory eort creates a ow
equal to or greater than the ow trigger sensitivity setting. The method of
the ow trigger is dependent upon the circuit type that is chosen.
Leak Compensation:
When using the Passive Circuit conguration, compensation for both the
intentional and unintentional leak is included in the triggering method.
When using the Active PAP Circuit conguration, leak compensation
is not available.
When using the Active Flow Circuit conguration, ow trigger with
leak compensation may be enabled. The default setting when using
the Active Flow Circuit is Leak Compensation On. The clinician has
the option to turn o leak compensation; however, unintentional
leak will not be compensated. Both options measure the ow at the
proximal ow sensor.
Flow Cycle Sensitivity (Inspiration to Expiration):
This cycling method is only active if the Flow Trigger has been
selected for the Trigger Type. As ow begins to decrease during
inspiration, if the patient ow is less than the ow cycle sensitivity
setting, the device will cycle to expiration.
For example: if the ow cycle sensitivity setting is set to 75%, when
the ow has decreased by 25% of the peak ow, the device will cycle
to the EPAP/PEEP level.

External Battery
The ventilator can operate from a 12 VDC deep cycle marine-type
(lead acid) battery using the Philips Respironics Trilogy External
Battery Cable. This cable is pre-wired and properly terminated to
ensure safe connection of an external battery to the ventilator.
Battery operating time depends on the characteristics of the battery
and usage of the device.
Due to a variety of factors, including battery chemistry, battery age,
and use prole, the capacity of the external battery as shown on the
device display is only an estimate of the actual remaining capacity.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the Philips Respironics Trilogy
External Battery Cable for detailed information on how to operate
the device using an external battery.
Trilogy200 clinical manual
CAUTION
Do not use the same external
battery to operate both the
ventilator and any other equipment
such as power chairs.
CAUTION
An external battery should only
be connected to the ventilator
using the Philips Respironics
Trilogy External Battery Cable.
This cable is fused, pre-wired and
properly terminated to ensure
safe connection to a standard
deep cycle lead acid battery. Use
of any other adapter or cable
may cause improper operation
of the ventilator.
Detachable Battery Pack
Philips Respironics oers a detachable Lithium-Ion battery pack. To
use the detachable battery pack, snap the battery into place on the
back of the ventilator, as shown in the following illustration. When
the device is not connected to an AC power source or an external
battery, the detachable battery will power the device, if attached.
The length of time the ventilator will operate on battery power
depends on many factors such as device settings, battery charge
level, and condition or age of the battery. When fully charged, a new
battery can power the ventilator for approximately three hours under
typical patient conditions.
Whenever the ventilator is connected to AC power, it will
automatically recharge the detachable battery pack. A completely
discharged detachable battery will reach 80% charge status within 8
hours, when charging at approximately 23˚ C ambient temperature.
Insert and securely latch the detachable battery into the device as
shown below.
CAUTION
The detachable and internal
batteries wear out based on
the amount of use (hours or full

Mode Setting
You can change the Mode setting on the Settings and Alarms screen
to one of the following therapy modes:
• CPAP
• S
• S/T
• T
• PC
• PC-SIMV
• CV
• AC
• SIMV
Circuit Type
There are three circuit types you can select:
• Passive
• Active PAP
• Active Flow
The Passive circuit type uses the Whisper Swivel II passive exhalation
device. The Active PAP circuit type uses an active exhalation device
with a proximal air pressure sensing connection. The Active Flow circuit
type uses an active exhalation device with a proximal ow sensor.
When using the Passive circuit, the ventilator displays estimated
patient pressures based on the resistance of the standard patient
circuit (Whisper Swivel II with 1.8 meter tubing). Adding accessories
to the patient circuit (humidier, water trap, etc.) may cause an
increase in circuit resistance and cause the device to display slightly
higher pressures than what is actually delivered to the patient.
Note: See Chapter 3 for detailed
information about each therapy
mode.
Note: Refer to the chart in
Chapter 3 to easily review all of
the settings available in each
therapy mode.
Note: This chapter describes
how to enable all of the device
settings, including device
alarms. For detailed information
about each alarm, please refer
to Chapter 6.
Note: To change the circuit
type, you must be in the
Setup screen with the airow
turned o. See the Full Menu
Access Mode section for more
information.
Note: When the Circuit Type
setting is set to Passive Circuit,
all Ramp Start Pressure settings
in all modes will maintain the
minimum range.
Note: When the Circuit Type
setting is set to Active PAP or
Active Flow, the Flex and AVAPS
features are unavailable.
With the Active PAP or Active Flow circuit type selected, patient
pressure is measured directly and is not aected by any change in
circuit resistance.
Trilogy200 clinical manual
The Passive circuit provides leak compensation. When using the Passive
circuit in Volume Ventilation, the set Vti is delivered to the patient
above the calculated circuit and cu (or mask) leak. This is dierent
from traditional active circuit ventilation where the cu (or mask) leak
reduces the tidal volume delivered to the patient. Volume ventilation
with the Passive circuit delivers an inspiratory tidal volume close to
the device setting regardless of leak; this should be considered when
transitioning a patient from an active to a passive circuit. With a Passive
circuit, Vte is estimated based on the calculated sum of circuit and cu
(or mask) leak.
The Active Flow circuit monitors proximal ow and proximal
pressure. When using the Active Flow circuit conguration, ow
trigger with leak compensation may be enabled. The default setting
when using the Active Flow Circuit is Leak Compensation On. The
clinician has the option to turn o leak compensation; however,
unintentional leak will not be compensated. Both options measure
the ow at the proximal ow sensor. Leak compensation is not
available in the Active with PAP circuit conguration.
Circuit Disconnect
This setting enables or disables the circuit disconnect alarm. If
enabled, an audible alarm will sound when a large, continuous air
leak (such as mask removal) has been detected in the circuit.
You can choose O to disable the alarm. Or, you can increase or
decrease the setting from 5 to 60 seconds in 5 second increments.
For example, a setting of 10 means that the alarm will sound after the
circuit has been disconnected for 10 seconds.
75
WARNING
You should not rely on any
single alarm to detect a circuit
disconnect condition. The Low
Tidal Volume, Low Minute
Ventilation, Low Respiratory
Rate, and Apnea alarms should
be used in conjunction with the
Circuit Disconnect alarm.
Apnea
This setting enables or disables the apnea alarm. If enabled, an
audible alarm will sound when an apnea is detected.
You can choose O to disable the alarm. Or, you can increase or
decrease the setting from 10 to 60 seconds in 5 second increments.
For example, a setting of 10 means that the alarm will sound if the
time between spontaneous breaths exceeds 10 seconds.

been on since the last time this value was reset. You can
reset this value to zero (0) if desired (e.g., each time you
give the device to a new patient). This value helps you
determine how often the patient is using the device. The
Operational Hours shown here diers from the Blower
Hours shown on the Information screens. The Blower
Hours displayed in the Information screen is the total
number of hours that the blower has been working over
the life of the device. You cannot reset this value.

The alarm log displays the alarms in chronological order with the
most recent events displayed rst. It lists the 20 most recent alarms
or messages that appeared on the device display. When the device is
in Limited Menu access mode, the alarm log cannot be cleared. It can
be cleared when in Full Menu access mode. Depending on how many
alarms have occurred, the alarm log may be several pages long. The
entries in the alarm log use the same names that displayed when the
alarm initially occurred and was displayed in the Alarm View.
