Connecting the Ventilator to the Patient
After you have nished adjusting your ventilator settings, perform
the following steps to connect the ventilator to the patient.

1. Perform System Checkout

Do not connect the ventilator to the patient until you perform the
system checkout procedures dened in Chapter 10.

2. Start Therapy

Press the button to begin therapy. When you start therapy, the
display backlight and the backlights on the buttons turn on, the red
and yellow alarm LEDs turn on momentarily, and an audible indicator
sounds to indicate that therapy has started. The Startup screen
appears on the display.

3. Connect the Breathing Circuit to the Patient Interface

After you have assembled the system, started therapy, and adjusted
your ventilator settings as needed, you can connect the breathing
circuit to the patient. The illustration below shows the breathing
circuit connected to a mask. You can also connect the breathing
circuit to a tracheostomy tube.
Note: Trilogy200 provides
features to control access to the
device (prescription) settings
and to transfer new device
settings onto the device using
the SD Card. These features
are intended to be used as part
of your clinical/institutional
procedures governing the use,
security, and control of this
medical device.
WARNING
To make sure the device is
operating properly at start-up,
always verify that the audible
tone sounds and the alarm
LEDs light red and then yellow
momentarily. Contact Philips
Respironics or an authorized
service center for service if these
indications do not occur at
start-up.
