5.6 Passive Breathing Mode
For the LAVC-2000 ONLY
There is a gray cap on the bottom left hand corner of the machine, this caps the channel of gases between ambient and the
canister. If the operator wishes to have the patient breath passively (without ventilation assist or control) remove the cap. This
breaks the seal between the bellows chamber and the Servo. This is intended as an emergency / backup mode of operation
and is not intended for regular operation.
Note: When the operator wishes to return to the ventilator function (either assist or control) the cap must be replaced hand
tight only. If a break occurs in this seal, the patient breathing effort is lost to ambient and the signal will not be transmitted
to the Servo, which is the heart of the ventilator.
5.7 Drainage System
The LAVC-2000-D has an integrated moisture drain system that facilitates the collection of moisture with an integral valve
that allows the user to see the collected moisture in the absorber and eliminate it using a ¼ turn valve. The drain assembly
is installed underneath the absorber and prevents moisture from accumulating on the plates or remaining in the absorber.
The funnel component of the absorber directs all moisture into the drain assembly which can be eliminated by opening the
drain valve until the drain is empty. EICKEMEYER® recommends draining moisture between cases and operating the drain
valve when the machine is not in use.
Note: Older models of the LAVC-2000-D that have the original style absorber without the built-in funnel and moisture drain
system can be upgraded to incorporate the moisture drain system. Please contact EICKEMEYER® for to obtain a quote on
upgrading your existing machine.
