The compliance levels in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2,5 GHz are intended to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment could cause interference if it is inadvertently brought into patient areas. For this reason, an additional factor of 10/3 has been incorporated into the formulae used in calculating the recommended separation distance for transmitters in these frequency ranges.

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the lung ventilator 170 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the lung ventilator 170 should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the lung ventilator 170.

Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 6 V/m.

11. INSTRUCTION FOR USE

11.1 Connection to the pneumatic supply

After the device has been connected to the power supply according to the provided specifications, connect the pneumatic supply hose to the socket placed on the pressure reducer installed on the oxygen tank. Insert then the probe inside the socket on the connections side of the lung ventilator pressing until it clicks confirming the proper connection. To verify the integrity of the electrical connection, slightly pull the connector verifying that no disconnection happens. For the pneumatic supply, slightly pull the probe doing a little rotation at the same time.

Connect the breathing tube to the output marked with “PATIENT CIRUIT” on the

connections side of the lung ventilator. The tube must be inserted for about 2,5 cm. If the insertion is difficult, the tube can be slightly rotated during insertion making the operation easier. The breathing tube must not rotate easily and freely. If this happens, it is an obvious sign of damage to the hose or of its incompatibility with the device. In these conditions the device is ready for use, and this is identified by this LED . To disconnect the device from the pneumatic supply, push the outer plastic part of the socket in axial direction while pulling out the probe.

11.2 Turn on the device

Turn on the device by pressing on the button identified with the symbol “I”. The device will perform an autodiagnostic test by turning on all LEDs for about 1 second and emitting 3 short sounds. When this test is concluded, the device automatically start the ventilation in “Controlled mode” according to the set parameters. If the device is not working or there are different visual or acoustic signals, refer to the paragraph explaining the warning signs or the section TROUBLESHOOTING. On the frontal panel will be displayed the ventilation mode, the breathing phases and any alarms or informations related to the power or pneumatic supplies.

11.3 Setting breathing parameters

On the frontal panel there are 3 adjustment knobs. Breathing parameters must be adjusted before applying the mask to the patient. During

these adjustments, the physician using the device must consider the patient’s weight, the Tidal Volume required by the patient and its clinical conditions.

Volume minute adjustment The Volume minute is the volume of gas delivered to the patient in a minute. It differs from the delivered volume for each breath (or Tidal

Volume) as this is closely related to the breathing frequency according to the relation   

The device allows setting between 2 and 20 L/min

Breathing frequency adjustment

Rotating the frequency adjustment knob, is possible to set the number of breaths per minute. The frequency has consequences both on the tidal volume according to the mentioned relation and on the activation level of the high pressure alarm. The high pressure alarm is activated at 25mbar if the frequency is set higher than 20 breaths/min and at 60mb ar if the frequency is less than 20 breaths/min. The device allows settings between 5 and 40 breaths/min (bpm).

Pressure limit adjustment Through this setting, is possible to limit the maximum pressure in the breathing circuit to the desired value. If the pressure limit is exceeded, the volume minute is no longer guaranteed.

The device allow settings between 20 and 60mbar.

Reason of activation

The maximum pressure in the patient circuit has been exceeded. This limit is activated at 60mbar if the frequency is set less than 20bpm and at 25 mbar if the frequency is set higher than 20bpm

Possible causes of activation

1 – volume/minute set is to high 2 – the connection tube with the patient is crushed or obstructed 3 – Patient’s breathing resistances cause the activation of the alarm

Action to take

1 – decrease the volume/minute value 2 – free the tube and restore a safe condition 3 – Check that the ventilation parameters are adequate for the patient’s clinical conditions. Is necessary to do more evaluation to ensure if intubation is needed. This means that the ventilation must be carried out with other devices

CMV ventilation mode

This mode is the only one available on 170 and is selected by default when the unit is turned on. It consist in the erogation of the medical gas to the patient according to the parameters set with the adjustment knobs. With this mode, the inspiratory and expiratory time ratio is constantly 1:2.

Air Mix/No Air Mix Selection

The lever placed on the front panel, allow to choose between two available FiO If in NO AIR MIX mode, the ventilator delivers only the medical gas coming from the main medical gas supply to which the device is connected. If the supply system delivers oxygen, the ventilator will deliver to the patient an oxygen concentration of 100%. Selecting the AIR MIX mode, the ventilator draws 60% of gas from the medical gas supply and the remaining 40% from the environment where th e device used. In this case, if the main gas supply deliver oxygen, the concentration of this gas administered to the patient will be of 60%. It is inappropriate to use the Air Mix mode in case of polluted environment. The device has a filter for incoming air subjected to periodic replacement as specified in paragraph 12

levels.

11.5 Usage

The physician who directs rescue operation is responsible for the choice of the device to be used and for the clinical assessment s needed for the proper use of this device and for the choice of the proper ventilation parameters. Patient circuits used for the ventilation must be chosen among those approved by the manufacturer. For ventilation of pediatric patients, a pediatric patient valve must be used. The residual pressure of the medical gas supply must be regularly checked to ensure enough autonomy. The achievement of the pressure of the residual valve of the oxygen bottle, would result in the shutdown of the device and in the activation of an alarm signal. The device provides alarms intended to limit risks of wrong adjustments or needed for a safe use of the product.

Alarms can be silenced by pressing the button identified by the symbol placed on the frontal panel. The audio paused condition can be identified by the illumination of the orange LEDs of the write “AUDIO PAUSED”. The audio pause function has no effect on lights and alarms that are not active when the mute button is pressed. For safety reasons, the alarms are not automatically disabled when the alarm condition no longer exist. To disable the audio paused function and to terminate all active alarms, press the audio paused button for about 2 seconds. The device has an internal 12V battery which provides an autonomy of about two hours when disconnected from the main power supply. It’s also present a 9V backup battery needed for the operation of the alarms of the main battery charge status. When the external power supply is active, the green led next to this symbol: will light continuously. If connected to the external power supply and the battery is not fully charged, the charging will automatically start and the white led next to the symbol: will light. Flashing of the white led next to the symbol: identifies a particular condition that do not allow to charge the battery. (See par.

11.6). The real pressure in the patient circuit is always shown on the manovacuometer placed on the front panel. In standard conditions it is suggested to remove any implants, evaluate the need of bronchoaspiration, hyperextend the patient’s head and, to ensure that the airways are clear, position the face mask over the mouth and nose checking the adherence of the soft part of the

mask on the patient’s face, in order to obtain a sealed system. It is important to verify that the mask is suitable for the patient; in the early stages of the ventilation it is suggested to force the adhesion of the mask to the patient’s face.

The adjustment method of the volume minute knob (by steps), prevents changes in the set parameters due to accidental contacts. Resistance of the airways due to obstructions or external cardiac massage does not cause a variation of the respiratory volume and frequency. In case of reduction of the compliance, the ventilator will react with a rise of respiratory pressure at a constant volume. During ventilation, constantly monitor the patient’s physiological response in order to verify if the set parameters are correct or to ensure absence of complications.

Note:

The medical gas flow is not influenced by pressure. The ventilator does not monitor the oxygen concentration (mechanical mixing). Unless otherwise specified the parameters are expressed in ATPD (Ambient, Temperature and Pressure Dry). At the end of service, turn off the device by putting the lever on the “O” position, shut down the pneumatic supply and proceed with the necessary maintenance activities.

11.6 Alarms and information signals

12.1 Cleaning

Failure to carry out the correct cleaning routine could increase the risk of cross infection, due to presence of body fluids and/or residuals.

The operator must always wear adequate personal protection such as gloves and mask, etc. during all checking and cleaning procedures.

 The described operations must be performed after each use of Spencer 170.  Turn off the device  Isolate it from the power supply (if connected)  The cleaning of the external parts of the device can be carried out using suitable disinfectants for surfaces as described in this table:

 Be careful to ensure that no kind of solution enters inside the oxygen socket..  If is used a disposable patient circuit, replace it.  If is used a reusable patient circuit, disassemble every part and sterilize according to a validated procedure.  Similarly, replace or sterilize the mask.  After confirming the ventilator and all accessories are completely dry, is possible to reconnect the device to the power supply.

The use of high pressure water is prohibited, because it should penetrate into the device causing risks of corrosion of components

and risks of electric leakage and short circuits. During every cleaning procedure, check that were not used any kind of lubricants.

12.2 ORDINARY maintenance

Establish a maintenance program and periodic testing routine, identifying an employee responsible for this. The person to whom the ordinary maintenance of the device is entrusted must ensure the basic requirements foreseen by the manufacturer in following paragraphs are inspected. All maintenance and periodic servicing activities must be registered and kept together with the servicing reports. These documents have to be kept for a period of 10 years after the disposal of the device itself. This register will be made available to the competent authorities and/or manufacturer if requested.

To guarantee the traceability of the products and to protect the procedures of maintenance and assistence of Yours devices, S pencer has made available the ASSTEC portal http://service.spencer.it/asstec/login.aspx, which will allow you to view the data of the products owned or on the market, to monitor and update the plans of periodic reviews, to view and manage extraordinary maintenances.

Routine maintenance of the device must be carried out by operators in possession of specific qualifications, trained and experienced in the use and maintenance of the device.

The operator must always wear adequate personal protection such as gloves and mask, etc. during all checking and cleaning procedures.

Checks to be carried out before and after each use and at deadline indicated above, are as follows:

 General functionality of the device  Cleanliness of the device (remember that the failure of cleaning may cause the risk of cross infections)  Correct fixation of all nuts, bolts and screws  No structural part is deformed or compromised  Proper operation of the pressure limiting adjustment controls. With the device turned on, occlude the patient output and veri fy that

the manovacuometer shows the pressure value set within the tolerances described in the technical data. Verify proper functi onality of the frequency knob setting a value and measuring the time between two mandatory ventilations. The time in seconds between two ventilations is equal to 60/Frequency.

12.2.1 9V alarm battery check

The 9 V backup battery must be regularly checked or replaced depending on its use. Using a tester ensure that the voltage on the battery is not lower than 40%. The correct polarity when connecting the 9 V battery is guaranteed by one-directional connector.

The alarm battery must be replaced once a year even if in good conditions.

12.2.2 Internal battery status check

The device is powered by a rechargeable battery. A new battery is never fully charged. It will be fully charged only after be ing charged for 7 consecutive hours before the first use of the device. The battery recharges automatically when the device is connected to the external power source.

If the device is not used for a long time, the battery must be recharged. Do not keep the unit in charge beyond the time specified. Fully discharge the battery and / or maintain the equipment continuously powered from external source, results in a significant reduction of the operating life of the battery.

The internal battery must be replaced once a year even if in good conditions. All batteries should be removed if the device needs storage. The absence of the internal battery should be indicated on te de vice (for example with a label) so that the device will not be accidentally used without the internal power supply. To limit the battery aging, it is

Page 20

recommended to carry out separate storage in an environment with a temperature between -20°C and +35°C. After storage, the battery needs to be recharged.

12.2.3 Fuse replacement

Spencer 170 uses two fuses type F1L250V (Fusibile Fast 5x20mm 1A). The manufacturer assumes no liability related to the use of spare parts not meeting the specifications provided. The fuse is a protection mean for the device, which interrupts the flow of current to the ventilator if it exceeds the maximum value acceptable the device. If the fuse blows, the device will continue to work with the internal power supply (battery) until it is exhausted, but will not be possible to recharge it or use it by connecting to an external power source. If the interruption involves the internal battery, the device can be used only if connected to the external power source.

This condition will be identified by the informations described for the event “Primary battery failure”.

Both fuses are placed on the side panel of the device and can be replaced with a screw driver removing the fuse holder. Verify that the filament is actually broken in order to ensure that the problem is not to be found in other components. Insert the new fuse in the removable fuse holder and screw again.

Both fuses must be replaced every year.

12.2.4 Battery replacement

The annual maintenance of the device requires, among other activities provided by the manufacturer, the replacement of all batteries. If is necessary to replace the batteries before the annual revision, follow these instructions: Verify that the device is turned off and disconnected from the power supply. Using a coin or a screwdriver, open the battery compartment. Pull out the battery pack and disconnect the connector by lifting the locking tab. Similarly, disconnect the 9V battery from its connector. Connect the new batteries and place them inside the battery compartment and close the cover. The backup battery is the type 6LF22 or 6LR61 9V commercially available. Its proper connection is ensured by the connector allowin a single way of insertion.

12.2.5 Alarms functionality test

Alarms must be subjected to regular checks to ensure that the device is suitable for use.

High pressure alarm Test 1:

Connect the device to the pneumatic supply. Set the minute volume at the lower value Set the pressure limit at 30 mbar Set the frequency higher than 25 bpm Turn on the device Close with one hand the port used to connect the breathing tube making sure it is completely obstructed.
