3.2 Owner/operator and user qualification
As an owner/operator or user, you must be familiar
with the operation of this medical device. Observe
the legal requirements for operation and use (in Germany, the regulations governing owner/operators of
medical devices apply in particular). Basic recommendation: get a person authorized by WEINMANN
Emergency to provide you with proper instruction
about the handling, use and operation of this medical device.
3.3 Ventilation function
MEDUMAT Easy operates within a pressure range of
2.7 to 6 bar and at a flow rate of not less than
70 l/min O
It uses high-pressure, medicinal-grade oxygen. An
external pressure reducer brings this down to the required operating pressure. The oxygen supply is fed
in at input valve.
The ventilation settings are continuously variable.
These settings (frequency and volume per minute
are coupled) and the inspiration/expiration ratio of
1:1.67 are regulated by internal electronic control
mechanisms.
The gas for inspiration flows along the hose and
through the patient valve and either the mask or
tube into the patient’s airways. The patient valve is

4. Safety instructions
4.1 Safety regulations
For your own safety, the safety of your patients, and
to comply with the requirements of EU Directive 93/
42/EEC, please observe the following points:
General
• Please read the directions for use carefully. They
are an integral part of the ventilator and must be
kept available for reference at all times.
• Use the MEDUMAT Easy for the described purpose only (see “3.1 Intended use” on page 10).
• The user must subject the patient hose system to
a functional check and a visual inspection before
use (see “8.3 Checking patient hose system” on
page 48).
14 Safety instructions
Note: • Do not use the MEDUMAT Easy in toxic environ-
ments or where there is a risk of explosion.
• MEDUMAT Easy is not suitable for hyperbaric
use (pressure chamber).
• Do not use MEDUMAT Easy with flammable
anesthetics.
• A back-up ventilator should always be available
in case of technical failure.
• Before starting to work with MEDUMAT Easy,
you must understand how to operate it.
• To prevent infection or bacterial contamination,
please observe section “7. Hygienic preparation” on page 40.
EN
• MEDUMAT Easy should be used only by medically qualified personnel who have had training
in ventilation techniques. Incorrect use can cause
severe physical injury.
• Please note that a safe distance must be maintained between MEDUMAT Easy and equipment
that emits HF radiation (e.g. mobile phones),
otherwise malfunctions may occur (see “ Recommended safe distances between portable or
mobile HF telecommunication devices (e.g. mobile phones) and MEDUMAT Easy” on page 64).
• We recommend that maintenance work such as
inspections and repairs be performed only by the
manufacturer, WEINMANN Emergency, or by
qualified technicians expressly authorized by
WEINMANN Emergency.
• Malfunctions and a lack of biocompatibility may
result if third-party articles are used. Please note
that in such cases all warranty entitlement and liability claims shall be void where items other
than the accessories recommended in the instructions for use or original spare parts are
used.
• Design changes to the device are not permitted
and may put patients and users at risk.
Oxygen
Spontaneous explosive reactions can occur if highpressure oxygen comes into contact with flammable
substances (fat, oil, alcohol etc.):
• Keep the equipment and all screw connections
absolutely free from oil and grease.
• Always wash your hands before starting to work
on the oxygen supply.
Safety instructions 15
EN
• Smoking and open flames are strictly prohibited
in the vicinity of all fittings containing or transporting oxygen.
• During assembly and when changing the oxygen
cylinder, only hand pressure should be used
when tightening the screw connections to the
cylinder and to the pressure reducer. Never use
tools for this purpose. Excessive tightening damages the screw threads and seals, and can cause
leaks.
• Protect oxygen cylinders from accidental falls. If
a cylinder falls over, the pressure reducer or the
valve may break off and cause a violent explosion.
Important • Always open the valve of the oxygen cylinder
slowly to prevent pressure damage to the other
fittings.
• The oxygen cylinder should never be completely
emptied, as this may allow air containing moisture to enter the cylinder and cause corrosion.
Ventilation/Operation
16 Safety instructions
• Both patient and ventilator must be kept under
constant observation during ventilation.
• When connecting the patient valve, please ensure that the direction of respiratory gas flow
(> patient >) is correct. Make sure that neither
the expiration tube nor the spontaneous breathing tube on the patient valve are blocked or their
function impeded in any other way, e.g. by the
patient’s position.
Note: • Disposable hose system WM 28110 is intended
to be used only once.
EN
Software
• Extensive validation tests have been performed
to minimize risks arising from software errors.
Accessories
• Please protect the silicone and rubber components from UV radiation and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this can make them
brittle and friable.

5. Installation
A permanent mounting is usually necessary only
when MEDUMAT Easy is installed as a fixture in rescue vehicles, helicopters or aircraft.
If MEDUMAT Easy is supplied complete on a portable system or in an emergency rucksack, it is ready
for use and requires no further installation. Separate
directions for use are supplied for portable systems
and emergency rucksacks.
In order to ensure safe and reliable operation, functional tests must be carried out after installation (see
“8. Functional checks” on page 45).
5.1 Connecting the oxygen cylinder
Always wash your hands thoroughly before starting
any work on the oxygen supply. Products containing
hydrocarbons (e.g. oils, greases, alcohols, hand
creams, sticking plasters) may cause explosive reactions if they come into contact with high-pressure oxygen.
18 Installation
Never use wrenches or similar tools to tighten or
loosen the screw connections.
Removing the empty cylinder
1. Close the valve of the oxygen cylinder.
Switch on MEDUMAT Easy with ON/OFF switch.
This exhausts any residual oxygen and depressurizes the ventilator. Wait until the pressure
gauge on the pressure reducer shows an oxygen
content of zero before undoing the screw connection by hand.
EN
2. First switch off MEDUMAT Easy again.
3. Then loosen the screw connection to the
cylinder.
Connecting the new cylinder
1. First briefly open and close the valve of the new
oxygen cylinder. This should blow out any particulate matter.
Keep the valve opening away from the body,
making sure that neither yourself nor other persons can be injured by escaping particles.
2. Next use the fluted connecting nut to couple the
pressure reducer to the valve on the oxygen cylinder. Tighten the connecting nut by hand.
3. If the pressure hose is not already connected to
the exit from the pressure reducer, make this
connection with the G 3/8 connecting nut.
4. Screw the other end of the pressure hose on to
pressure gas connection on the MEDUMAT Easy
if this has not yet been done.
5.2 Ventilation hose
1. Slide the pressure gauge tube onto connection.
2. Slide the ventilation hose onto connection.
Make sure that this does not cause any kinks in
the pressure gauge tube already connected. If
necessary, turn the ventilation hose while sliding
on as appropriate.

otherwise they may be damaged or split.
3. Connect the patient valve to the other end of the
ventilation hose and pressure gauge tube.
4. If a mask is being used for ventilation, attach the
mask connection to the patient valve (identical
with tube connection),
or
if the patient is intubated, attach the patient
valve to the tube.
20 Installation
Filter
If a filter is to be used, this should be installed
between the patient side connector on the patient
valve and the mask or tube.
Always follow the instructions supplied by the
manufacturer of the filter.
EN
Note: Please note that the respiratory resistance of the
entire system is increased when an HME filter or bacteria filter is used and under certain circumstances,
may exceed the value permitted by EN 794-3.
PEEP valve
If a PEEP valve is to be used, this should be inserted
into the expiration tube on the patient valve.
To adjust the PEEP valve, always follow the instructions supplied by its manufacturer.
5.3 Wall mounting set
A wall mounting set (see “11.2 Accessories” on
page 60) is available for permanent fixing, e.g. on a
vertical surface inside a vehicle.
Please refer to the sheet enclosed with the wall
mounting set for details of dimensions and installation procedure.

6. Using the ventilator
6.1 Switching on / self test
1. Open the valve of the oxygen cylinder slowly.
The pressure gauge will now show the pressure
in the cylinder.
2. Where appropriate, calculate how long the remaining oxygen will last (see “6.11 Calculation
of oxygen content/remaining operating time”
on page 37). Always change the cylinder in good
time, e.g. when the pressure is lower than
50 bar, to ensure that oxygen is available for an
adequate period.
3. Select the desired ventilation settings (see “6.2
Selecting the ventilation settings” on page 23).
4. Switch on the MEDUMAT Easy with ON/OFF
switch. The ventilator will then run a self test
lasting approx. 2 seconds.
If audio response is enabled, you will hear before
the self test the sentence “Open oxygen cylinder”.
22 Using the ventilator

If an error is found, all the LEDs in alarm panel
continue flashing and an alarm sounds. If this happens, MEDUMAT Easy must not be used for ventilation.
If audio response is enabled, you will hear the
message “Device malfunction! Administer alternative ventilation”.
After the self test, the ventilator repeatedly
checks the oxygen cylinder pressure until adequate pressure is detected. Otherwise an alarm is
sounded.
The MEDUMAT Easy will then start to function
with the selected ventilation settings.
6.2 Selecting the ventilation settings
We recommend selection before switching on, to
prevent unnecessary waste of oxygen.

inhalation.
2
To switch the MEDUMAT Easy to Demandflow
mode, turn the ventilation settings regulator knob
until it engages in the fixed point marked by the
white triangle. The green LED indicates that it is
ready for operation. If audio response is enabled, the
ventilator announces “Demandflow mode”.
Attach the mask to the patient valve and place it over
the patient’s mouth and nose. Hold the mask to ensure a firm seal. The flow is switched on by the patient breathing in (triggering the device). When the
patient starts to breathe out, the flow stops and the
expired air is removed via the patient valve. The patient should breathe calmly and evenly. The Demandflow cannot be altered. At higher breath rates, fresh
air is automatically mixed in with the oxygen. This is
done via the spontaneous breathing tube of the
patient valve.
The Demandflow mode is ended by turning the regulator knob back to ventilation mode from the index

position marked by the white triangle, or by switching off the ventilator.
If audio response is activated, the ventilator confirms
the return to ventilation mode by announcing:
“Mask ventilation mode. Tilt back head, secure mask
tightly” (from serial number 8000 and following repair/servicing/firmware update: “Ventilation pressure limit 20 mbar”).
6.8 Terminating ventilation or Demandflow
Important
Never empty the oxygen
cylinder completely. Return the cylinder for filling
while it still contains residual pressure. This prevents
entry of moist atmospheric
air that can cause
corrosion.
1. Check the oxygen supply on the pressure reducer gauge. Always change the cylinder in good
time, e.g. when the pressure is lower than
50 bar, to ensure that oxygen is available for an
adequate period.
2. Close the valve of the oxygen cylinder.
3. Switch off the MEDUMAT Easy. To prevent the
ventilator being switched off unintentionally, ON/
OFF switch must be kept pressed down for at least
2 seconds until the LEDs in the alarm panel
3 light
up. If audio response is enabled, the ventilator announces: “Close oxygen cylinder”.

enabled, you will hear the message “Device malfunction! Administer alternative ventilation”.
In this case you must not use the MEDUMAT Easy.
The failure alarm can be confirmed by pressing the
ON/OFF switch.
The patient valve is designed to enable spontaneous
breathing in the event of equipment failure.
When is the alarm set off?
An alarm signal is given as soon as any one of the
functional problems mentioned above occurs. The
relevant LED starts flashing and an acoustic signal
sounds. If audio response is enabled, the user also
hears additional information about the individual
alarm.
Using the ventilator 29
EN
Simultaneous disconnection and drop in oxygen
pressure will initially set off only the < 2.7 bar alarm.
Stenosis alarm
Actual ventilation pressure exceeds the maximum
ventilation pressure (20 or 45 mbar).
MEDUMAT Easy briefly switches to expiration if the
maximum ventilation pressure is exceeded, but then
tries to continue inspiration in the same inspiration
phase.
If the maximum ventilation pressure is exceeded for
a second time during the same inspiration phase, the
unit finally switches to expiration and vents the patient tube system completely. The next inspiration
begins with the following ventilation stroke according to the frequency selected. This does not affect
the set frequency.
The alarm is set off if airway resistance is exceeded
in
two successive inspiration phases. This is intended
to prevent false alarms, e.g. due to coughing.
If audio response is enabled, the unit announces
“Check airways and minute volume” (from serial
number 8000 and following repair/servicing/firmware update: “Check airways and settings”).

Disconnection alarm
As a rule this alarm is due to interruption of the
breathing system.
The alarm is set off when the rise in pressure fails to
reach at least 8 mbar in
phases.

< 2.7 bar O2 alarm
Oxygen pressure at the pressure connection to the
MEDUMAT Easy has dropped to less than 2.7 bar. The
reason is usually an almost empty oxygen cylinder.
In this case MEDUMAT Easy can no longer function
correctly because the operating parameters are no
longer within the permissible limits.

The battery is failing. Failure of the automatic ventilation function must be expected. Immediate steps
must therefore be taken to provide alternative ventilation (see “6.12 Alternative ventilation procedures” on page 39).
If audio response is enabled, you will hear the message: “Device malfunction! Administer alternative
ventilation”.
The ventilator must be switched off before the battery can be changed (see “ Changing the main battery” on page 57).
Cancelling acoustic alarm
If there is an alarm, you can temporarily cancel the
acoustic alarm by pressing the alarm mute button:

Level 2 has been reached, the cycle starts again
at 0 mbar on Level 1 and the stenosis and disconnection alarm LEDs go out.
Select the setting 0 (0 mbar) if you want to
switch off the audio response facility. You will
then hear the message: “Audio response is off!”
in the language most recently selected.

8. Functional checks
Before each use, after each dismantling and reassembly, and at the very least every 6 months, the user must
carry out functional checks on the ventilator.
Note: Before carrying out the functional check on
MEDUMAT Easy, you must connect the ventilation
hose and the patient valve.
MEDUMAT Easy must not be used if the functional
checks reveal defects or deviations from the specified parameters.
First try to correct the error with the help of the information provided in section “9. Troubleshooting”
on page 54. If this is not possible, have the unit repaired by the manufacturer – WEINMANN
Emergency – or by specialists explicitly authorized by
WEINMANN Emergency.
A complete functional check includes:
• “8.2 Checking for leaks in the system” on
page 47;
• “8.3 Checking patient hose system” on
page 48;
• “8.4 Checking the minute volume” on page 49;
• “ Checking the breath volume” on page 49;
• “8.5 Checking maximum ventilation pressure”
on page 50;
• “8.6 Checking Demandflow” on page 51;
• “8.7 Checking the alarm systems” on page 52;
We recommend that you always hold reserve stocks
of the following items:
• replacement washers for the connections;
Functional checks 45
EN
8.1 Intervals
• lip membranes for the patient valve.
Note: Ensure that the test bag is not damaged and test its
function regularly, e.g. in the context of device
servicing.
Before each use:
• Perform a functional check.
After each use or dismantling:
• Clean, disinfect or sterilize the ventilator and its
components (see “7. Hygienic preparation” on
page 40);
• Check the lip membrane in the patient valve (see
“8.3 Checking patient hose system” on
page 48). It must not be crinkled, sticky or misshapen.
• Perform a functional check.
46 Functional checks
At least every 6 months, if the ventilator
has not been used in the meantime:
• Perform a functional check.
EN
8.2 Checking for leaks in the system
1. Open the valve of the oxygen cylinder slowly.
You can now read the pressure in the cylinder
from the gauge on the pressure reducer. For example, a reading of 200 bar means that the cylinder is full, whereas 100 bar means it is half full.
Always change the cylinder in good time, e.g.
when the pressure is lower than 50 bar, to ensure that oxygen is available for an adequate period.
2. Close the cylinder valve again.
3. Watch the needle of the gauge on the pressure
reducer for approx. 1 minute. If it stays in the
same place, the system is free of leaks. If the
needle drops steadily, there is a leak somewhere.
Repairing leaks
Always keep a stock of
washers for the connections available.
Important
The screw connections on
the oxygen lines must be
tightened by hand only.
1. Prepare a soap/water solution using non-perfumed soap.
2. Wet all the screw and hose connections with the
solution. Bubbles will form at the site of the leak.
3. Depressurize the system:
To do this, first close the oxygen cylinder. Switch
on MEDUMAT Easy briefly until the pressure
gauge on the O
cylinder reads “0”. Then switch
2
off MEDUMAT Easy again.
4. If leaks are discovered, the defective components must be changed.
5. After changing, make a fresh check for leaks.
6. If it proves impossible to eliminate the leak, the
ventilator will have to be repaired.
Functional checks 47
EN
8.3 Checking patient hose system
Checking reusable hose system
1. Dismantle the patient valve.
2. Carry out a visual check of all components for
cracks or other physical damage.
The lip membrane must be replaced if it is crinkled, sticky or misshapen. It must no longer be
used for ventilation as it could cause serious
functional problems.
Also perform a visual check of the valve membranes in the expiration and spontaneous
breathing arms. To do so, there is no need to dismantle the valve membranes. Crinkled, misshapen or sticky valve membranes must be replaced,
however, as they can lead to considerable malfunctions.
3. Reassemble the patient valve.
When reassembling, make sure that the lip
membrane is correctly positioned.
48 Functional checks
Checking disposable hose system
Visual inspection
Check the following items by inspecting the patient
hose system:
• the patient valve and the connectors may not

8.7 Checking the alarm systems
Important
In the case of the stenosis
alarm and the disconnection alarm, the alarm signal
(or message) is only set off
when the cause of the
alarm is repeated in two
successive inspiration
phases. This prevents the
alarm being triggered by a
very short-lived dysfunction.
Important
In this test the rise in pressure is so strong that the
pressure gauge needle may
overswing into the red
zone. There are technical
reasons for this, and it does
not indicate any malfunction.
Stenosis
1. Open the oxygen cylinder.
2. Remove the tube or the ventilation mask from
the patient valve.
3. Switch on MEDUMAT Easy.
4. Switch the mask/tube switch to .
5. Keep the ventilation connector on the patient
valve closed with the flat of your hand during
two successive inspiration phases. The
stenosis
alarm should be set off.
If audio response is enabled, the ventilator announces “Check airways and minute volume”
(from serial number 8000 and following repair/
servicing/ firmware update: “Check airways and
settings”).
Disconnection (interruption of breathing system)

EN
10.1 Batteries
MEDUMAT Easy is equipped with two batteries:
• Main battery (lithium battery 3.6 V) for main
power supply. This may be changed by the operator.
• A CR2430 button cell. This can only be changed
by specialist personnel. It supplies auxiliary power to the electronic system if the main battery
fails. This makes it possible to set off an alarm
even if the main battery fails.
The battery capacity is calculated to be sufficient for
power requirements under normal operating conditions for the full period between the two-yearly services. The batteries are completely replaced every
two years during servicing.
We recommend having the batteries changed only
by the manufacturer – WEINMANN Emergency – or
by qualified specialists expressly authorized by the
manufacturer. Special precautions need to be taken
during the change in order to protect the electronic
system.
In an emergency, proceed as follows:
Changing the main battery
1. Make sure the ventilator is switched off.
2. Open the battery compartment on the side of
the MEDUMAT Easy (e.g. with a coin).
3. Remove the old 3.6 V lithium battery.
4. Insert a new battery. Make sure it is inserted the
right way round.
5. Close the battery compartment again.
Important
The 3.6 V lithium battery is a special battery for this

10.2 Change valve membrane in patient valve
If one of the valve membranes in the expiration or
spontaneous breathing arms of the patient valve is
crinkled, sticky or misshapen, it must be changed.
Spontaneous breathing arm
1. Take the spontaneous breathing insert out of
the patient valve. To do so, push the two locking lugs out of their seat, using a small screwdriver, for example.
2. Pull the defective valve membrane out of the
spontaneous breathing insert using pointed
tweezers.
3. Put in a new valve membrane.
4. Push the spontaneous breathing insert back into
the patient valve.
10.3 Storage
58 Servicing
Expiration arm
1. Use pointed tweezers to pull the defective valve
membrane out of the expiration arm.

Válvula del paciente
El símbolo en la válvula del paciente indica que
si la membrana labial está doblada, viscosa o desplazada, debe cambiarse de inmediato. En este caso, no
utilice la válvula del paciente bajo ningún concepto
para respiración artificial, puesto que podrían producirse fallos de funcionamiento (véase “8.3 Comprobación del sistema de mangueras para pacientes” en
la página 120).
El símbolo advierte de la posición de colocación
correcta de la membrana labial.
Cuando conecte la válvula del paciente, tenga en
cuenta el sentido de flujo del gas respiratorio hacia el
paciente (flecha).

estos casos perderá cualquier derecho de garantía o de indemnización si no utiliza los accesorios
recomendados en las instrucciones de uso ni las
piezas de repuesto originales.
• Las modificaciones constructivas del aparato no
están permitidas y pueden poner en peligro tanto al paciente como al usuario.
82 Indicaciones de seguridad
Oxígeno
El oxígeno altamente comprimido en contacto con
sustancias inflamables (grasa, aceite, alcohol, etc.)
puede producir reacciones explosivas espontáneas:
• Mantenga los aparatos y todos los tornillos
completamente libres de aceite y grasa.
ES
• Antes de trabajar con el suministro de oxígeno,
lávese bien las manos.
• Está terminantemente prohibido fumar o prender
fuego cerca de las válvulas que conducen el
oxígeno.
• Durante el montaje y cuando cambie la botella,
apriete sólo con la mano las tuercas de la botella
de oxígeno y del regulador de presión. No use
nunca herramientas. Si se aprieta mucho, pueden dañarse las roscas y las juntas, lo cual provocaría fugas.
• Proteja las botellas de oxígeno para evitar accidentes. Si la botella cayera sobre el regulador de
presión o la válvula, podrían desprenderse y provocar explosiones fuertes.
Importante • Abra siempre la válvula de la botella despacio
para evitar sacudidas de presión en las válvulas.
• No vacíe las botellas de oxígeno del todo, puesto
que podría penetrar aire humedecido y provocar
corrosión.
Respiración artificial / Manejo
• Durante la respiración artificial, debe vigilar continuamente al paciente y el aparato de respiración.
• Cuando conecte la válvula del paciente, tenga
en cuenta el sentido de flujo (> paciente >) del
gas respiratorio. Procure que el brazo de espiración y el brazo de respiración espontánea de la
válvula del paciente no estén cubiertos ni impedidos, p. ej., por la colocación del paciente.
