The Sirio S2/T is a portable lung ventilator designed for emergency, first-aid, and intra-hospital transportation, suitable for use with adults, children, and newborns. It offers various ventilation modes and adjustable functions to cater to diverse patient needs.
The Sirio S2/T operates as a time-cycled ventilator, capable of automatic ventilation synchronized with the patient's spontaneous breathing activity (AUT+AST mode). It also supports assisted ventilation with pressure support (PSV) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The device measures and displays instantaneous airway pressure, spontaneous patient activity in AUT+AST and PSV modes, and provides alarms for various critical conditions. These alarms include low airway pressure/apnea, gas supply issues, low battery, high airway pressure/limit, and power failure.
The ventilator's front panel features several control knobs and indicators for easy operation. The "MINUTE VOLUME" knob allows setting the liters per minute delivered to the patient, with suggested settings marked for adult and pediatric patients. The "MODES" knob enables selection between OFF, AUT+AST, PSV, and CPAP operating modes. In AUT+AST mode, the "RATE" scale is used to adjust the breathing cycle frequency. The "PRESSURE LIMIT" knob regulates the maximum airway pressure, while the "PEEP" knob sets the end-tidal positive pressure. An oxygen mixer allows selection between 50% O2 and 100% O2, operating when connected to an oxygen supply. The device also includes a mechanical airway pressure gauge ("PAW AIRWAYS PRESSURE") for real-time monitoring.
For safety, an "ALARM RESET" button silences acoustic alarms for 20 seconds, re-enabling if airway pressure exceeds 8 cmH2O. This button also silences the "POWER FAILURE ALARM." It is recommended to connect a breathing monitor for critical patients to verify ventilation volumetrically.
The Sirio S2/T can be powered by a built-in battery, providing at least 6 hours of autonomy when fully charged. An external 12 Vdc battery, such as from an ambulance or helicopter, can also be used. The device includes an internal system for recharging its battery via the main power supply.
The trigger level, which detects spontaneous patient activity, is set by default at -1 cmH2O but can be varied from -1 to -6 cmH2O. This adjustment is made by switching on the ventilator while holding the "ALARM RESET" key, then pressing it again to cycle through sensitivity levels. The selected sensitivity is maintained until the unit is switched off, reverting to the default upon restart.
Connections for the patient circuit include an "EXP. VALVE" for the expiratory line and an "INSP. VALVE" for the inspiratory line. An "AIR FILTER" allows the patient to inspire ambient air during spontaneous ventilation if the ventilator stops or provides insufficient volume. The "GAS SUPPLY" inlet connects to oxygen or medical compressed air at 2.8-6 bar.
Routine maintenance, including cleaning, disinfecting, and sterilizing parts, is crucial for the equipment's longevity and patient safety. The housing can be cleaned with a disposable cloth moistened with regular detergent or disinfectants like Buraton 10F. Care must be taken to prevent liquid from entering internal parts. Halogenated compounds, strong organic acids, and oxygenated compounds should not be used as detergents.
Disassembled components can be washed with a pH 4-8.5 detergent and rinsed with running water, preferably decalcified, then thoroughly dried. For disinfection, components can be immersed in a disinfectant solution according to manufacturer instructions, followed by rinsing and drying.
Scheduled maintenance, including inspections and tests, should be performed by SIARE authorized personnel every 800 operating hours or at least every 6 months for limited use. All maintenance activities are recorded in the equipment's maintenance file. Only original SIARE spare parts or SIARE-checked parts should be used for replacements. The patient circuit components are recommended for replacement every 6 months, and the 12Vdc battery should be replaced every 24 months.
Special waste materials, such as batteries, accumulators, and O2 cells, must be disposed of in appropriate containers according to local norms. They should not be incinerated, opened, or recharged.
The service manual provides detailed instructions for electric and pneumatic calibration, including necessary tools like multimeters, manometers, oscilloscopes, and flow analyzer testers. Calibration procedures involve adjusting trimmers and regulators to ensure accurate frequency, voltage, flow, and pressure readings. Comprehensive testing procedures are outlined to verify external aspects, label presence, operative modes (AUT+AST, PSV, PEEP, CPAP), RATE accuracy, oxygen mixer functionality, power supply failure alarms, bronchomanometer readings, leakage absence, and low pressure/apnea alarms. These tests ensure the ventilator operates safely and correctly according to its design specifications.
