Warnings, cautions, and notes

Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the following safety
considerations, special handling requirements, and regulations that govern the use
of the 700 Series Ventilator System.

Warning

To avoid an electrical shock hazard while servicing the ventilator, be
sure to remove all power to the ventilator by disconnecting the power
source and turning off all ventilator power switches.

Warning

To avoid a fire hazard, keep matches, lighted cigarettes, and all other
sources of ignition (e.g., flammable anesthetics and/or heaters) away
from the ventilator and oxygen hoses.

Do not use oxygen hoses that are worn, frayed, or contaminated by
combustible materials such as grease or oils. (Textiles, oils, and other
combustibles are easily ignited and burn with great intensity in air
enriched with oxygen.)

In case of fire or a burning smell, immediately disconnect the ventilator
from the oxygen supply and electrical power source.

Electromagnetic susceptibility

The 700 Series Ventilator System complies with the requirements of IEC 60601­1-2 (EMC Collateral Standard), which includes E-field susceptibility and ESD
requirements. However, even though the device is compliant at the levels of
immunity specified in the standard, certain transmitting devices (cellular phones,
walkie-talkies, cordless phones, paging transmitters, etc.) emit radio frequencies
that could interrupt ventilator operation if located in a range too close to the
ventilator. It is difficult to determine when the field strength of these devices
becomes excessive. Practitioners should be aware that radio frequency emissions
are additive, and that the ventilator must be located a sufficient distance from
transmitting devices to avoid interruption. Do not operate the ventilator in a
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment. The Alarm handling section of
this manual describes possible ventilator alarms and what to do if they occur.
Consult with your institution’s biomedical engineering department in case of
interrupted ventilator operation, and before relocating any life support equipment.

..............................................................................

The 700 Series Ventilator System (including the 740 and 760 Ventilators)
provides respiratory support for a wide range of pediatric to adult patients for a
wide variety of clinical conditions. The ventilator’s mixing technique allows it to
ventilate critically ill patients at adjustable oxygen concentrations without the
need for a blender, compressor, or hospital-grade wall air.

The 700 Series Ventilator System can be mains- or battery-powered. Each
ventilator includes two microcontrollers: one for breath delivery (which controls
ventilation), and one for the user interface (which monitors ventilator and patient
data). Each microcontroller verifies that the other is functioning properly. Using
two independent microcontrollers in this fashion prevents a single fault from
causing a simultaneous failure of controlling and monitoring functions.

The 700 Series Ventilator System supplies mandatory or spontaneous breaths
with a piston-based pneumatic system. Table 1-1 summarizes the modes and
breath types offered by the 740 and 760 Ventilators. Mandatory breaths can be

volume control ventilation (VCV, available on 740 and 760 Ventilators) or
pressure control ventilation (PCV, available on the 760 Ventilator only). VCV

delivers breaths to the patient at a preset tidal volume, peak flow, waveform, and
oxygen concentration at a minimum respiratory rate. PCV delivers breaths to the
patient at a preset inspiratory pressure, I:E ratio or inspiratory time, rise time
factor (how quickly inspiratory pressure rises to achieve the set inspiratory
pressure), and oxygen concentration at a minimum respiratory rate. A
spontaneous breath allows the patient inspiratory flows of up to 300 L/min, with
or without pressure support ventilation (PSV). On the 760 Ventilator, you can set
the rise time factor and exhalation flow sensitivity (that is, the point at which the
ventilator cycles from inspiration to exhalation) in PSV.

The ventilator begins apnea ventilation if no breath (patient- , ventilator-, or
operator-initiated) is delivered within the selected apnea interval. Apnea
ventilation is active during all modes. On the 740 Ventilator, only VCV breaths
are available in apnea ventilation. On the 760 Ventilator, VCV or PCV breaths are
available in apnea ventilation.

The 760 Ventilator also offers the ability to perform respiratory mechanics
calculations and maneuvers as a standard feature using the EXP PAUSE (to

This manual tells you how to operate and perform simple maintenance for the 700
Series Ventilator. Mallinckrodt recommends that you become familiar with this

manual and accompanying labels before attempting to operate or maintain the
ventilator. If you need additional copies of this manual, contact your Mallinckrodt
representative.

To ensure optimum performance of the 700 Series Ventilator System,
Mallinckrodt recommends that a qualified service technician perform periodic
maintenance on the ventilator. For more information, contact your Mallinckrodt
representative.

1.1 Functional description

By pressing keys and turning the knob on the ventilator keyboard, the operator
gives initial instructions and data to the ventilator
(Figure 1-1). The user interface microcontroller processes this information and

...............................................................................

stores it in the ventilator’s memory. The breath delivery microcontroller uses this
stored information to control and monitor the flow of gas to and from the patient.

The 700 Series Ventilator uses a flow trigger to recognize patient effort. The
trigger monitors flow from the piston during exhalation. When the patient
inhales, patient circuit pressure drops very slightly below end-expiratory
pressure. At the same time, the piston moves forward to deliver flow to the
ventilator breathing circuit and maintain the preset PEEP/CPAP level. The level
of flow depends on the patient’s effort. If this flow exceeds the user-set level, the
ventilator triggers. By design, the ventilator attempts to maintain PEEP in the
presence of a circuit leak. Since a leak drives the piston to deliver flow to make
up for pressure losses, a circuit leak can require an increase in the flow trigger
level to avoid autocycling.

During exhalation, the ventilator’s piston retracts and draws air and oxygen into
the cylinder. The ventilator uses room air, which means the ventilator can operate
without a compressor or wall air source. Room air enters the ventilator through a
protected user-replaceable air intake filter just inside the ventilator cabinet. This
filter captures airborne particles.

Oxygen from a cylinder or wall supply enters the ventilator through a hose and
oxygen fitting (the fitting is available in several versions). Once inside the
ventilator, the oxygen is regulated to a pressure the ventilator can use, then mixed
with air, according to the selected % O

The flow-triggered piston/cylinder system and motor controller circuit control the
flow of gas to the patient. On the 760 Ventilator in PCV or PSV, the rate of flow
is also determined by the preset rise time factor. This system is designed with a
minute gap (about the size of a thin sheet of paper) between the piston and the
cylinder wall. This design eliminates the friction between the piston and cylinder,
allowing it to respond more rapidly than a “sealed” system.

.

A small amount of gas leaks through the gap between the piston and cylinder.
Ventilator software and a continuous forward motion of the piston compensate for
this leak.

The piston delivers the mixed air and oxygen through the inspiratory manifold
system, and out to the patient. The oxygen concentration and temperature of the
delivered gas are monitored here, using a galvanic oxygen sensor and a
thermistor. The galvanic sensor generates a voltage proportional to the partial
pressure of oxygen, from which the oxygen concentration is calculated. The
ventilator alarms if the monitored oxygen concentration is more than ten
percentage points above or below the % O

setting. The inspiratory manifold

system also includes a safety valve to relieve patient pressure if necessary (for
example, if the ventilator breathing circuit is kinked or occluded).

The patient system includes the components external to the ventilator that route
gas between the ventilator and the patient. These components include the
inspiratory filter (which protects against contamination between the ventilator
and patient), a humidification device, ventilator breathing circuit (the tubing
through which the gas travels), collector vial (which protects the exhalation
system from moisture in the exhaled gas, and can be emptied without losing
circuit PEEP), and an expiratory filter (which limits the bacteria in the patient’s
exhaled gas from escaping to room air or contaminating the ventilator).

1 Introduction

The heated exhalation system monitors the flow of the patient’s exhaled gas using
a differential pressure transducer. The patient exhales through the exhalation
valve. During exhalation, the PEEP/CPAP system maintains user-selected
pressure in the ventilator breathing circuit.

Throughout the respiratory cycle, pressure transducers monitor inspiratory,
expiratory, and atmospheric pressures. The temperatures of the pneumatic
compartment and inspiratory gas are also monitored. Information from these
transducers is continuously used to update the calculations that control
ventilation. (Appendix F provides a diagram of the ventilator’s pneumatic system
and ventilator breathing circuit.)

Power to operate the ventilator comes from ac mains (wall) or battery power. The
power supply is designed to protect against excessive voltages, temperatures, or
current draws. A power cord retainer prevents the cord from accidental
disconnection.

The ventilator includes an internal battery, and accommodates an optional
external battery. Depending on the ventilator settings, battery backup power can
be supplied for up to 2 ½
the external battery. Both batteries are recharged during operation from ac power.
If both are installed, the external battery is used first when ac power is not
present. If the external battery is depleted or not installed, the internal battery
supplies power to the ventilator when ac power is not available. The keyboard
indicates the source of power and battery charge level of the internal battery at all
times.

Emergency modes: The ventilator declares a ventilator inoperative (VENT INOP)
condition if a hardware failure or critical software error that could compromise

safe ventilation occurs. In case of a ventilator inoperative condition, the VENT
INOP indicator lights and the ventilator enters the safety valve open (SVO) state.
To correct a ventilator inoperative condition, the ventilator must be turned off,
then powered on again; at power-on, the operator must run extended self-test
(EST). The ventilator must pass EST before normal ventilation can resume.

The safety valve allows the patient to breathe room air unassisted when the
ventilator is in the SVO state. The ventilator remains in the SVO state until
power-on self-test (POST) verifies that power levels to the ventilator are
acceptable and that the motor controller and microcontrollers are functioning
correctly, and until the user has confirmed ventilator settings.

If the ventilator enters the SVO state and POST is not running, the SAFETY
VALVE OPEN indicator lights and a high-priority alarm sounds. The ventilator
enters the SVO state if it detects a hardware or software failure that could

compromise safe ventilation. In case of a malfunction that prevents software from
opening the safety valve, there is also an analog circuit that opens the safety valve
when system pressure exceeds 115 cmH

If the ventilator detects an occlusion or a continuous high inspiratory pressure
condition, it opens the safety and exhalation valves to vent excess pressure, then
shuts them and begins occlusion cycling mode. In occlusion cycling mode the
ventilator uses current settings except for those summarized in Table 1-2. If the
ventilator again detects an occlusion or continuous high pressure condition, it
again opens the safety and exhalation valves then resumes occlusion cycling
mode. If the operator presses the alarm reset key or the ventilator does not detect
an occlusion or continuous high pressure condition, it reverts to normal
ventilation using the most recently accepted settings.

1.3 Keyboard

Caution

To avoid damaging the keyboard, do not press on it with sharp objects.

The keyboard (Figure 1-2 shows the 740 keyboard and Figure 1-3 shows the 760
keyboard) is grouped into three sections:

• VENTILATOR SETTINGS: Where you set breath delivery variables.

• PATIENT DATA: Where you set alarm limits and view the monitored
pressures, breath timing, and volumes.

• VENTILATOR STATUS: Where you see the alarm status and operating
condition of the ventilator.

1.3.1 VENTILATOR SETTINGS

The VENTILATOR SETTINGS section of the keyboard allows you to select the
ventilation mode, breath type, and settings. For more detail on ventilation modes
and breath delivery, see Appendix D.

To change the mode and settings, select the mode, then the breath type, and then
the ventilator settings. The keys flash during setup and mode changes to ensure
that you review all pertinent settings. The keyboard is designed to minimize
accidental or unintentional changes.

Table 1-3 summarizes the functions of the keys, knob, and indicators in the
VENTILATOR SETTINGS section of the keyboard. Ventilator settings are also
limited by these breath delivery boundaries:

• I:E ratio £ 4:1 for PCV (760 Ventilator only), £ 3:1 for all other breath types

• Inspiratory time = 0.2 to 8 seconds (excluding plateau)

• Expiratory time ³ 0.2 seconds
