eove EO-150 - Patient Circuit, Power, and Accessories; Patient Circuit Setup and Calibration

Chapter 3 - Patient circuit, power supplies and accessories configurations
WARNING

Use only CE marked circuit components approved for use with the EO 150.

When using a non
-
invasive interface, the measurement of patient exhaled gas volume may
be affected by leaks.

To ensure correct functioning of the circuit, it is recommended that a calibration be
performed at the installation of each new circuit.

Install patient circuit tubing carefully, to avoid risk of strangulation or tripping.
CAUTION
For pediatric patients, ensure that the breathing circuit type is suitable for use with a child.
Pediatric patient circuits should be used when tidal volume is lower than 300 ml.
Patient Circuit options
NOTE:
The leak configuration is recommended for
non
-
invasive
ventilation, however the EO
-
150 leak modes are compatible with invasive configurations if using intentional leakage
such as whisper accessory.
The EO-150 ventilator can be used with five different circuits, as seen below. All circuits require
proximal pressure tubing. Breathing circuits may be 10, 15 or 22 mm in diameter.
See the following table to select suitable circuits and settings for different patient types.
30 ml to 300 ml
Paediatric
10 mm or 15 mm
> 300 ml
Adult
15 mm or 22 mm
The five types of circuits used by the EOVE ventilator can be found in the following table:
Single Limb with valve
Single limb circuit with expiratory valve
(expiratory valve
integrated into the circuit)
Single Limb with valve +
proximal flow
Single limb circuit with expiratory valve and proximal flow sensor
Double Limb (with adapter)
Double limb circuit (expiratory valve integrated into the adapter)
Single limb with Leak
Single limb circuit with intentional leak using proximal free plug
or proximal adaptor
Single limb with Mouth Piece
Single limb circuit with mouth piece using proximal free plug or
proximal adaptor
CAUTION
To ensure
accurate performance, a circuit calibration is mandatory at every change of
circuit configuration.
The blue proximal flow sensor tube must be connected at the side closest to the patient
and according to the symbols on the ventilator ports. If connected in the wrong way, no
VTE will be displayed.
Do not connect patient interfaces before starting the calibration. Patient interfaces
include any components such as catheter mount, mask, tracheostomy tube or intentional
calibrated leak.
