1047358 Rev N Respironics V60 Ventilator User Manual 5-1
Chapter 5. Setting up the ventilator for use
Set up the ventilator for each patient use as described in this chapter. For first-
time installation, refer to Appendix A.
Connecting oxygen WARNING: Connect the ventilator only to an appropriate medical-grade oxygen
source.
WARNING: To ensure accuracy of oxygen administration and to monitor for the
presence of contamination (incorrect gas connected), use an external
oxygen monitor to verify the oxygen concentration in the delivered gas.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, do not use a high-pressure oxygen hose that is
worn or contaminated with combustible materials like grease or oil.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of hypoxia, connect only oxygen to the high-pressure
connector at the rear of the ventilator.
WARNING: To reduce patient risk of oxygen toxicity, keep free-flowing oxygen away
from air inlet of ventilator.
CAUTION: To prevent possible damage to the ventilator, ensure that the
connection to the oxygen supply is clean and unlubricated, and that
there is no water in the oxygen supply gas.
Connect the oxygen hose to an appropriate high-pressure oxygen source.
Use of SIS connectors and supplemental oxygen accessories such as the O
2
manifold requires higher oxygen supply pressures. Consult Table 10-9 on
page 10-6 for appropriate oxygen pressure ranges.
Installing an oxygen
monitor
Install a Teledyne MX300 oxygen monitor, or the equivalent, and follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for setup and calibration.
