Philips 200 manual Operating, Storage, Temperatures, Bacteria Filter, Patient Circuits, General

5

Operating	Do not use this device if the ambient temperature is warmer than
and Storage	40˚ C (104˚ F). If the device is used at room temperatures warmer than
Temperatures	40˚ C, the temperature of the airflow may exceed 43˚ C. This could
	cause system alarms, thermal irritation, or injury to the patient’s airway.
Bacteria Filter	Philips Respironics recommends that a main line outlet bacteria filter
	(Part Number 342077) be used whenever the device is used for invasive
	therapy or if the ventilator may be used on multiple patients.
Patient Circuits	The ventilator should only be used with patient interfaces (e.g., masks,
(General)	circuits and exhalation ports) recommended by Philips Respironics.
	Proper operation of the device, including alarms, with other circuits has
	not been verified by Philips Respironics and is the responsibility of the
	health care professional or respiratory therapist.
	When adding any components to the breathing system, the flow
	resistance and dead space of the added components such as
	humidifiers, speaking valves, Heat Moisture Exchangers (HMEs) and
	filters should be carefully considered in relation to the potential for
	adverse effects on the patient’s ventilatory management and device
	alarms.
Passive Circuits	An exhalation port is required when using a passive circuit.
	For the passive circuit, at low expiratory pressures, the flow through
	the exhalation port may be inadequate to clear all exhaled gas from
	the tubing – some rebreathing may occur. Rebreathing of exhaled air
	for longer than several minutes can in some circumstances lead to
	suffocation.
Active Circuits	Only use the active exhalation devices designed for Trilogy200. Philips
	Respironics has not verified proper operation of other active exhalation
	devices, and their use may result in improper or unsafe device
	operation.
	With active exhalation circuits, the exhalation device must be operating
	properly for the ventilator to deliver therapy. The exhalation device
	should be inspected on a daily basis and replaced whenever necessary.
System Checkout	Do not use the ventilator on a patient until a system checkout has been
	performed. See Chapter 10 of this manual.
	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.
