Device Description
The e360 Ventilator is a high performance ventilator that is easy to use
and maintain. The e360 features a dual servo gas delivery system, a
servo controlled active exhalation valve, a simple to use interface and
a touch screen graphics monitor. The electronically-controlled inlet gas
mixing system is superior to traditional pneumatic mixers that must
exhaust gas from the system to consistently deliver precise oxygen
concentrations. The dual servos respond immediately to changes in
the set FIO2. Approximately 60 minutes of operational backup power
is available when the ventilator’s internal battery is fully charged.
In addition, the e360 has remote alarm (nurse call) and external
alarm silence connections, an RS232 interface to connect to central
monitoring systems, a VGA port to connect to an external monitor, and
USB port for uploading software and downloading saved files.
When the e360 is turned on, the power on self-test (POST) verifies
the integrity of the software and hardware of the ventilator. During
operation, the ventilator performs regular pressure transducer
calibrations and software tests to ensure accuracy of monitored and
displayed data. A user initiated Circuit Check ensures that there are
no leaks in the breathing circuit system, measures circuit compliance
and resistance, and calibrates the exhalation flow sensor. User
initiated sensor calibration tests allow for calibration of the Oxygen
and Exhalation Flow Sensors.
All breath types and modes include a range of ventilation and alarm
settings appropriate for adult or pediatric/infant patients. The e360
has settable alarm limits for High and Low Peak Airway Pressure,
High and Low Expiratory Minute Ventilation/ Back Up Ventilation,
High Respiratory rate, disconnect threshold and Apnea. There are
built-in alarms for O2 monitoring, O2 and Flow Sensors, Low Baseline
Pressure, High Baseline Pressure, Sustained High Baseline Pressure,
Ventilator settings violations, Low Battery, Gas Supply Failure, Device
Alert, and Power Switchover.
The ventilator monitors and displays the power source, exhaled
volumes, peak flows, breath timing parameters (I:E ratio, respiratory
rate, and inspiratory time), delivered oxygen concentration, patient
pressures (peak, plateau, mean airway, and baseline), and pulmonary
mechanics.
During exhalation, the e360 uses a bias flow to flush exhaled CO2
and stabilize temperature, humidity, and baseline pressure in the
patient breathing circuit. A stable baseline pressure between breaths
helps to minimize auto-triggering.
