Connecting Additional Equipment
WARNING: Vent Inop is a serious condition, which is indicated by both visual and audible
alarms. If the ventilator is attached to a patient when Vent Inop occurs, the
patient must be supported with another means of life support ventilation.
When connecting a humidifier to the patient circuit, follow the setup
procedure supplied by the humidifier manufacturer. The following steps should
be followed to electrically connect the humidifier to the ventilator (for 100-
120 VAC ventilators). For ventilators using voltage other than 100-120 VAC,
the humidifier must be connected to another AC outlet.
1. Remove the cover of the humidifier AC power outlet on the back of the
ventilator (Figure 6-3).
