Summary of
Warnings, Cautions,
and Notes
Warnings
•Patients on life-support equipment should be visually monitored
by competent medical personnel, since life-threatening
circumstances may arise that may not activate alarms. Heed all
appropriate alarms and follow the instructions and warnings in
this operator’s manual. Always check life-support equipment for
proper operation before use.
•Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics. Possible
explosion hazard.
•One person alone should not attempt to lift the ventilator or
remove it from the shipping carton or the cart. At least two people
are required to avoid possible personal injury or damage to the
equipment.
•To reduce the chance of contamination or infection, always use an
inspiratory and expiratory filte r when the ventilator is in operation.
Refer to manufacturer’s instructions and follow institutional
infection control guidelines when replacing the inspiratory and
expiratory filter.
•Do not use anti-static or conductive hoses or conductive patient
tubing.
•The expiratory filter housing may be hot
ventilator immediately after use. Wait 15 minutes after turning off
ventilator power before removing the heated expiratory bacteria
filter. Exercise caution when handling the filter housing.
•All oxygen connections should be carefully inspected to ensure
that leaks are not present. Excessive leaks can result in higher
than normal ambient oxygen concentrations and create a
potentially hazardous oxygen-enriched environment.
•Worn/frayed oxygen hoses or oxygen hoses contaminated by
hydrocarbon greases or oils should not be used since an oxygen
leak or intense fire could result.
•Care in the routing of the oxygen inlet hose should be exercised to
ensure it is not exposed to mechanisms that could cause damage
by cutting or heating/melting.
•The cover plate for the PCMCIA slot at the back of the ventilator
must be replaced after the adapter and card are installed. This is
to protect the ventilator.
•AC power is applied to the humidifier from the ventilator
humidifier outlet (only available on 100-120 VAC ventilators).
Under no circumstances does the Respironics V200 Ventilator
provide control for the humidifier. To ensure patient safety, it is
important that any humidifier used with the ventilator include an
acceptable temperature control and monitoring mechanism, as
well as a temperature display and appropriate alarm capabilities
(refer to ISO 8185).
•To avoid electrical shock hazard, connect the ventilator to a
properly grounded AC power outlet.
•The ventilator front panel LEDs will indicate the power source that
is being used. If the ventilator is plugged in and the MAINS LED
is not lit, either the circuit breaker is off or the wall power outlet is
not functioning.
•The two circuit breakers (MAINS/Humidifier) located on the back
of the ventilator are covered to prevent unintentional ventilator
power-off. Do not use the circuit breaker to power the ventilator
on/off. The power switch is located on the front of the ventilator
below the front panel.
•Always turn the ventilator power OFF before connecting additional
equipment.
•Use only Respironics approved cables when connecting to the
remote alarm port. Be sure to fully insert the cable into the remote
alarm port and into the remote alarm.
2-2 Respironics V200 Ventilator Operator’s ManualREF 1057983 A
Chapter 2
Warnings, Cautions, and Notes
•When using the Re mote Alarm Port be sure to fully test the
Remote Alarm Port and cable by:
• Verifying that annunciated alarms on the ventilator are also
annunciated on the remote alarm.
• Verifying that disconnecting the cable from the Remote. Alarm
port results in an alarm notification at the Remote Alarm.
• Verifying that disconnecting the cable from the remote alarm
results in an alarm notification at the Remote Alarm.
•Ensure that an alternative means of ventilation (that is, a
resuscitator or similar device) is available while the ventilator is in
use on a patient.
•The ventilator complies with the requirements of IEC 601-1-2
(EMC collateral standard), including the E-field susceptibility
requirements at a level of 10 volts per meter. However, even at
this level of immunity, certain transmitting devices (cellular
phones, walkie-talkies, etc.) emit radio frequencies that could
disrupt ventilator operation if operated in a range too close to the
ventilator.
•DO NOT operate the ventilator in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI) environment.
•V ent Inop is a serious condition, which is indicated by both visual
and audible alarms. If the ventilator is attached to a patient when
Vent Inop occurs, the patient must be supported with another
means of life support ventilation.
•When the battery low indicator is flashing red, operation of the
ventilator from battery power should be discontinued.
•For patient safety the HIP Limit Setting should be set as close to
the peak inspiratory pressure as patient conditions allow.
•DO NOT perform the preoperational procedure when the ventilator
is on a patient.
•You wi ll be warned if the compliance is 9.0 ml/cmH
O (hPa) or
2
larger. Patients should not be put on a patient circuit that does
not meet this requirement.
•A high priority, visual and audible alarm indicates a potentially
life-threatening condition and immediate response is required.
•When the safety valve open indicator is lit, the ventilator d o es not
provide any ventilatory support to the patient. Immediately use a
backup means of ventilatory support.
•Visually monitor the patient and ventilator during the Alarm
Silence period to ensure that alarms do not go undetected.
Allowing alarm conditions to continue without interventi on may
result in harm to the patient and/or ventil ator.
•Do not expose expiratory and inspiratory bacteria filters or
reusable patient tubing to ETO gas.
•Disposable or single-patient filters must be discarded between
patients. Do not chemically disinfect or expose single patient use
bacteria filters to ETO gas.
•The patient must be disconnected from the ventilator before
entering the Diagnostic Mode since normal ventilation is
suspended.
•Do not use a ventilator that has failed SST without verifying
operational readiness by other means. Doing so may place a
patient at risk.
•Never initiate SST while the patient is connected to the ventilator.
The high airway pressures generated during SST can injure a
patient.
•Never initiate EST while the patient is connected to the ventilator.
The high airway pressures and gas flows generated during EST can
injure a patient.
•Do not use a ventilator that has failed EST without verifying
operational readiness by other means. Doing so may place a
patient at risk.
•Remove the ventilator from service and contact trained service
personnel if any diagnostic codes appear with the exception of:
1, 3, 2000, 3000, 5000, 5002, 8003, or 8004.
•Use of a ventilator that has not passed SST or EST is against the
strongest recommendation of Respironics.
•Please contact Respironics Customer Service at 1-800-345-6443
or consult your service manual if any diagnostic codes are
encountered.
•When connecting a humidifier to the humidifier outlet (available
only on 100-120 VAC ventilators) allowable leakage current values
may be exceeded.
•The use of accessories, cables, and transducers other than those
specified may result in increased EM emissions or decreased
immunity of the system.
•We recommend that you use an oxygen monitor that complies with
ISO-7767; Oxygen Monitors or Monitoring Patient Breathing
Mixtures - Safety Requirements. This requirement ensures that
the desired fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) is delivered to the
patient.
•The batteries (backup battery) in the battery compartment are
non-spillable sealed lead acid. Recycle or dispose of bat ter ies
properly.
•Do not connect the DC power cord from the backup battery while
the Respironics V200 is functioning as a ventilator. Always turn
the Power On/Off switch to off ().

Cautions
Chapter 2
Warnings, Cautions, and Notes
•Backup battery operating life may be affected by battery age and
the number of times it has been discharged and recharged. Over
time the battery will degenerate and will not provide the same
amount of operating time per charge that is available from a fully
charged new battery. Use only the Respironics backup battery
P/ N 1059956.
•Titrate the EPAP level such that the masks air entrainment valve
(if present) remains closed to room air. Always evaluate and
monitor patient condition when ad justing EPAP or other settings.
•The backlight lamps in the monitor display contain mercury,
which must be recycled or disposed of in accordance with local,
state, or federal laws. (Within this system, the backlight lamps in
the monitor display contain mercury.)
•Federal law (U SA) restrict s this device to sale by or on the order of
a physician.
•Be sure to check all exterior parts of the ventilator. Problems
found during inspection should be corrected and/or reported to
Respironics before using the ventilator.
•Always ship the ventilator using the original packing material. If
the original material is not available, contac t your Respironics
representative to order replacement s.
•Do not operate the ventilator without a properly functioning
expiratory filter and heater. Doing so may cause damage to
delicate ventilator components, such as the expiratory flow sensor,
which may lead to inaccurate spirometry or a Vent Inop condition.
•The ventilator oxygen filter should be replaced annually as a part
of preventive maintenance.
•The PCMCIA card should only be removed by trained service
personnel once power to the ventilator is off.
•To avoid the possibility of damage t o the ventilator, do not connect
a humidifier whose maximum rati ng exc eed s 3 am ps. Ensure tha t
the humidifier power cord is free from defects and any obvious
wear, and is properly grounded. A hu mi difier connection is only
available on 100-120VAC ventilators.
•Before connecting the ventilator to the AC power source, ensure
that the total electrical load does not exceed the ampere rating of
the AC branch circuit, especially when using the ventilator with
other electrical equipment. An AC branch circuit includes all
outlets serviced by a single circuit breaker. If the maximum
current drain through a branch circuit exceeds the circuit
breaker’s rating, the branch circuit will open, causing the
ventilator to lose power. For further information, consult a service
technician or a trained biomedical technician.
•The ventilator is shipped with a power cord that complies with
electrical safety standards. Do not use substitute power cords
unless specifically instructed to do so by an authorized distributor
or qualified personnel. Do not modify the power cord or connect it
with electrical extension cords or outlet adapters.
•To prevent the risk of excessive leakage due to external equipment
being connected to the ventilator via the communication ports, a
means for external separation of the conductive earth paths must
be provided.
•All equipment used and connected to the ventilator
communications ports (analog, parallel, and serial) must comply
with the medical electrical equipment (IEC601-1) or other
applicable standards.
•The remote alarm port is intended to connect only to SELV (safety
extra low voltage and ungrounded system with basic insulation to
ground), in accordance with IEC60601-1. To prevent damage to
the remote alarm, the signal input should not exceed the
maximum rating of 24 VAC or 36 VDC at 500 mA with a minimum
current of 1 mA.
•Failure to protect the expiratory filter from damage by using
inappropriate patient circuit configurations may cause damage to
delicate ventilator components, such as the expiratory flow sensor,
which may lead to inaccurate spirometry or a Vent Inop condition.
•If clinical conditions do not require setting the HIP Limit above
60 cmH
cmH
O, we recommend the setting normally be adjusted to 60
2
O or less in order to prolong the operating life of the blower
2
and to maximize backup battery run time.
•The ventilatoralarm indicators and the Alerts insert should be
monitored closely during the Alarm Silence period to ensure that
unexpected alarms are noticed.
•If an alarm persists for no apparent reason, contact Respironics
Customer Service at 1-800-345-6443.
•Care should be taken when cleaning the touch display. (Refer to
Figure 8-2 on page page 8-3). A soft moist cloth should be used
that does not drip water and/or soap solution when in contact with
the display. After cleaning and rinsing with a damp cloth, remove
all moisture with a dry, soft cloth. Never allow solutions of any
kind to collect on the bottom bezel of the display. Never use a
brush or device that can cause abrasion to clean the touch display
or its bezel; they will cause irreparable damage.
•Do not remove any screws from the cooling filter area. Removing
screws from this area will result in damage to internal
components.
