Chapter 1. Warnings, cautions, and notes

Before using the Respironics V60 Ventilator on a patient, familiarize yourself with this user manual, particularly the safety considerations listed. Be aware, however, that this manual is a reference only. It is not intended to supersede your institution’s protocol regarding the safe use of assisted ventilation.

Definitions WARNING: Alerts the user to the possibility of injury, death, or other serious adverse

reactions associated with the use or misuse of the device.
CAUTION: Alerts the user to the possibility of a problem with the device
associated with its use or misuse, such as device malfunction, device failure, damage to the device, or damage to other property.
NOTE: Emphasizes information of particular importance.

General WARNING: An alternative means of ventilation shall be available whenever the

ventilator is in use. If a fault is detected in the ventilator, disconnect the patient from it and immediately start ventilation with such a device. The ventilator must be removed from clinical use and serviced by authorized service personnel.
WARNING: Use the Respironics V60 Ventilator on spontaneously breathing patients
only. It is an assist ventilator and is intended to augment the ventilation of a spontaneously breathing patient. It is not intended to provide the total ventilatory requirements of the patient.
WARNING: We do not recommend you use the Respironics V60 Ventilator on patients
who require ventilation at predetermined tidal volumes. The ventilator provides continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and positive pressure ventilation (S/T, PCV, and AVAPS, and PPV) and is indicated for assisted ventilation only. These modes do not provide ventilation with guaranteed tidal volume delivery.
WARNING: We do not recommend you use AVAPS on patients who require rapid and
frequent IPAP adjustments to maintain a consistent tidal volume. AV APS, a volume targeted mode, changes the IPAP setting in order to achieve the target tidal volume. During AVAPS setup, there may be a period of time before the target tidal volume is achieved. AVAPS is ideal for more stabilized patients.

Chapter 1
Warnings, cautions, and notes
WARNING: To reduce the risk of CO2 rebreathing, make sure EPAP pressures and
exhalation times are sufficient to clear all exhaled gas through the exhalation port. In noninvasive ventilation continuous air flow through the port flushes exhaled gases from the circuit. The ability to completely exhaust exhaled gas from the circuit depends on the EPAP setting and I:E ratio. Higher tidal volumes further increase the volume of CO
rebreathed
2
by the patient.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of CO
rebreathing, monitor the patient for changes in
2
respiratory status at the start of ventilation and with each change in ventilator settings, circuit configuration, or patient condition. Pay attention to ventilator alarms that warn of increased CO
rebreathing risk.
2
WARNING: To ensure accuracy of oxygen administration and to monitor for the
presence of contamination (incorrect gas connected), use an external oxygen monitor to verify the oxygen concentration in the delivered gas.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, use the ventilator in well-ventilated areas away
from flammable anesthetics. Do not use in a hyperbaric chamber or other similarly oxygen-enriched environments. Do not use near an open flame.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock from liquid entering the device, do
not put a container filled with a liquid on the ventilator.
WARNING: To reduce patient risk of oxygen toxicity, keep free-flowing oxygen away
from air inlet of ventilator.
WARNING: The nurse call/remote alarm should be considered a backup to the
ventilator’s primary alarm system.
WARNING: To ensure that the alarm will be heard, make sure the alarm loudness is
adequate and avoid blocking the alarm speakers beneath the ventilator. WARNING: Do not leave the ventilator unattended when stationed on an incline. WARNING: The V60 ventilator may cause radio interference or may disrupt the
operation of nearby equipment. It may be necessary to take mitigation
measures, such as re-orienting or relocating the ventilator or shielding
the location. WARNING: Use of non-approved accessories, transducers or cables may increase
EMC emissions or decrease the EMC immunity performance of the
equipment.
CAUTION: Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a
physician. CAUTION: The Respironics V60 Ventilator is designed to operate in the
temperature range of 5 to 40 ºC (41 to 104 ºF). To minimize the risk
of overheating the device, do not operate adjacent to heaters or other
heat sources. NOTE: The displays shown in this manual may not exactly match what you
see on your own ventilator. NOTE: Pressures are indicated on the ventilator in cmH
O. Millibars and
2
hectopascals (hPa) are used by some institutions instead. Since
1 millibar equals 1 hPa, which equals 1.016 cmH
O, the units may

Preparing for ventilation

WARNING: Connect the ventilator only to an appropriate medical-grade oxygen
source.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of hypoxia, connect only oxygen to the high-pressure
connector at the rear of the ventilator.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, do not use a high-pressure oxygen hose that is
worn or contaminated with combustible materials like grease or oil.
WARNING: The Respironics V60 Ventilator is designed to use ambient air and high
pressure 100% oxygen. No other gases should be used. WARNING: Do not use the ventilator with helium or mixtures with helium. WARNING: Do not use the ventilator with nitric oxide. WARNING: To prevent possible asphyxia and to reduce the risk of CO
take these precautions with respect to mask and exhalation port use:
- Use only an oro-nasal mask with an anti-asphyxia valve or a nasal mask for noninvasive ventilation.
- Do not occlude the exhalation port.
- Turn on the ventilator and verify that the port is operational before application. Pressurized gas from the ventilator should cause a continuous flow of air to exhaust from the leak port, flushing exhaled gas from the circuit.

WARNING: The patient’s exhaled volume can differ from the measured exhaled
volume due to leaks around the mask during noninvasive ventilation.
WARNING: To ensure normal air circulation and exchange, do not cover or block the
ports on the ventilator. Do not block the air inlet panel on the right side of the ventilator.
WARNING: Do not cover or position the ventilator so as to adversely affect its
operation or performance. Use the V60 in an upright position that does not block the air inlet.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of the device overheating and possible burn injury, do
not block the fan intake at the rear of the ventilator.
WARNING: To prevent possible patient injury and possible water damage to the
ventilator, make sure the humidifier is set appropriately.
WARNING: When using a humidifier, always use either a circuit with a water trap or a
heated wire circuit to minimize patient risk from condensate in the circuit.
WARNING: To prevent the possibility of inadequate humidification, pay close
attention to the humidifier’s functioning when operating the ventilator at an ambient temperature > 30 ºC (86 ºF). The ventilator warms the air delivered to the patient above ambient temperature, which may impair the humidifier’s performance.
WARNING: To reduce the risk that the patient will aspirate condensed water from the
breathing circuit, position any humidifier lower than both the ventilator and the patient.
WARNING: To prevent possible patient injury and equipment damage, do not turn the
humidifier on until the gas flow has started and is regulated. Starting the heater or leaving it on without gas flow for prolonged periods may result in heat build-up, causing a bolus of hot air to be delivered to the patient. Circuit tubing may melt under these conditions. Turn the heater power switch off before stopping gas flow.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, use only patient circuits intended for use in
oxygen-enriched environments. Do not use antistatic or electrically conductive tubing.
WARNING: To prevent patient or ventilator contamination, always use a main flow
bacteria filter on the patient gas outlet port. Filters not approved by Respironics may degrade system performance.
WARNING: During ventilation, patient exhalate is released into room air. Use of a
patient circuit with a filter on its exhalation port is recommended.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of bacterial contamination or damage, handle bacteria
filters with care.
WARNING: Any additional accessories in the patient circuit may substantially
increase flow resistance and impair ventilation.
WARNING: Avoid adding resistive circuit components on the patient side of the
proximal pressure line. Such components may defeat the disconnect alarm.

Operation WARNING: To prevent possible patient injury, avoid setting alarm limits to extreme

values, which can render the alarm system useless.
WARNING: PPV limits are not intended to be the primary ventilator alarms and should
not be substituted for the alarms found in the Alarm Settings window.
WARNING: To prevent the delivery of excessive pressure or volume, set the PPV
limits appropriately. Delivery of excessive pressure or volume can occur from a sudden increase in mask leak, inappropriate settings, or a plugged or kinked proximal pressure line. Conversely, insufficient treatment may result if limits are set too low.
WARNING: Nebulization or humidification can increase the resistance of breathing
system filters. When using a nebulizer or humidifier, monitor the breathing system filter frequently for increased resistance and blockage.
WARNING: Using a jet nebulizer can cause inadvertent alarms and affect the
accuracy of delivered FiO pneumatic nebulizers to 10 L/min or use a vibrating mesh nebulizer.

Chapter 3. General information

Intended use The Respironics V60 Ventilator is an assist ventilator and is intended to

augment patient breathing. It is intended for spontaneously breathing individuals who require mechanical ventilation: patients with respiratory failure, chronic respiratory insufficiency, or obstructive sleep apnea in a hospital or other institutional settings under the direction of a physician.
The ventilator is intended to support pediatric patients weighing 20 kg (44 lb) or greater to adult patients. It is also intended for intubated patients meet i ng the same selection criteria as the noninvasive applications. The vent ilator is intended to be used by qualified medical professional s, such as physicians, nurses, and respiratory therapists. The ventilator is intended to be used only with various combinations of Respironics-recommended patient circuits, interfaces (masks), humidifiers, and other accessories.

Contraindications The Respironics V60 Ventilator is contraindicated for patients with any of the

following conditions:
Lack of spontaneous respiratory drive
Inability to maintain a patent airway or adequately clear secretions

About CO2 rebreathing

At risk for aspiration of gastric contents
Acute sinusitis or otitis media
Hypotension
Untreated pertussis
Epistaxis (nosebleed)
As with mask ventilation in general, patient CO2 rebreathing may occur under some circumstances. Follow these guidelines to minimize the potential for CO rebreathing. If rebreathing is a significant concern for a particular patien t a nd these guidelines are not sufficient to acceptably reduce the potential for CO rebreathing, consider an alternative means of ventilation.
Increase EPAP to decrease the potential for CO pressures produce more flow through the exhalation port, which helps to purge all CO
Be aware that the potential for CO inspiratory time increases. A longer inspiratory time decreases exhalation time, allowing less CO the next cycle. In such circumstances, higher tidal volumes further increase the volume of CO
from the circuit to prevent rebreathing.

Potential side effects Advise the patient to immediately report any unusual chest discomfort,

shortness of breath, or severe headache. Other potential side effects of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation include: ear discomfort, conjunctivitis, skin abrasions due to mask/patient interface, and gastric distention (aerophagia). If skin irritation or breakdown develops from the use of the mask, refer to the accompanying mask instructions for appropriate action.

General description The Respironics V60 Ventilator (Figure 3-1) is a microprocessor-controlled,

bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) ventilatory assist system that provides noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) and invasive ventilatory support for spontaneously breathing adult and pediatric patie nts.
Figure 3-1: Respironics V60 Ventilator
Ventilation modes. The ventilator offers a range of conventional pressure modes, CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure), PCV (pressure-controlled ventilation), and S/T (spontaneous/timed). The volume-targeted AVAPS (average volume-assured pressure support) mode combines the attributes of pressure-controlled and volume-targeted ventilation. The optional PPV mode provides pressure ventilation in proportion to the patient’s efforts.
Auto-Trak Sensitivity allows the ventilator to automatically compensate for intentional and unintentional leaks by maintaining a stable baseline and adjusting trigger and cycle thresholds for optimum patient-to-ventilator synchrony. The optional Auto-Trak+ feature lets you further adjust the level of Auto-Trak Sensitivity.
User interface. The ventilator’s ergonomic design, including a 12.1-inch (31­cm) color touchscreen, a navigation ring, and key panel, lets you easily access ventilator settings and monitored parameters.
Monitoring. The ventilator displays monitored parameters as numbers and as real-time waveforms (curves or scalars).
