The “Smart” Heliox Fitting
A DISS-type, No. 1180 smart connector fitting is
also available for use with an 80/20 Heliox gas
mixture (Figure 2–28). Follow the instructions
contained with your Heliox kit to install the
tethered Heliox connector. This fitting has no
integral water trap/filter. All AVEA “Smart”
connectors with or without the integral water
trap/filter, attach in the same way. Align the
connector (Figure 2–27 and Figure 2–28), seat
gently onto the fitting and screw down the fitting
collar until finger tight.

The AVEA “Smart” connectors signal to the ventilator which type of fitting is attached and therefore which gas controls to
initiate.
The fitting on the right of the panel is for attaching the Oxygen gas source. The O
2
fitting type is CGA DISS type, No.
1240. (NIST or Air Liquide oxygen fittings are also available from CareFusion.)
