Set up and Pre-use Preparation
NOTE: If a parameter is touched and adjusted but Accept is not
pressed within 20 seconds of the last button touched, the parameter
will revert to the original setting.
Attach a Patient Circuit
Always use a clean and dry patient circuit.
Always use an inline filter (p/n HT6004701 or equivalent) at the Prox.
Line Connector to protect the internal transducers from moisture or
other contaminants.
Always use a disposable bacteria filter (p/n FLT3301P or equivalent)
on the main patient gas output.
Always orient the exhalation valve for the correct flow orientation. The
arrow should point towards the direction of flow.
The HT70 Ventilator will perform to specification when Newport
recommended breathing circuits and exhalation valves are used.
Newport cannot guarantee the safe use of breathing circuits or
exhalation valves that are not recommended.
For use with a third party humidifier:
When using a humidifier with the ventilator, be sure to follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for use.
See Figure 1:
1. Attach a bacteria filter to the Gas Output connector on the HT70.
2. Locate the short piece of 22 mm ID circuit tubing. Connect the
end that includes the prox line pressure port to the inlet port of
the humidifier.
