TURNING THE VENTILATOR ON AND OFF

Turning the Ventilator On

To turn the LTV

®

ventilator on:

1) Connect the ventilator to an external power source:

• The AC power adapter may be used or the ventilator may be connected to an external battery.

• If you do not connect the ventilator to an external power

source, it will operate from the internal battery.

2) Press and release the On/Standby button. The ventilator will commence operation:

During POST;

• The front panel displays are illuminated.

• Verify the audible alarm is activated for 1 second (only on ventilators with a

symbol on the back panel label).

• Verify a confirming audible chirp is activated (only on ventilators with a symbol on the back panel label).

3) Once POST is successfully completed, the ventilator begins operating using the stored control settings.

P/N 19819-001 Rev. A LTV

®


Turning the Ventilator Off

To turn the LTV

®

ventilator off:

1) Disconnect the patient from the ventilator.

2) Press and hold the On/Standby button for 3 seconds. The ventilator ceases operating, the audible alarm sounds continuously and the Vent

Inop LED is lit.

• Verify a confirming audible chirp is activated immediately after the alarm is silenced (only on ventilators with a symbol on the back panel label).

4) The ventilator continues to charge the internal battery as long as it is connected to an external power source.

Note: The Vent Inop LED will remain lit for a minimum of 5 minutes and does not affect battery life.

1) Press the Select button while ALARM is displayed.

2) Verify the audible alarm is sounded.

• If a Patient Assist Call System or Remote Alarm is connected via the ventilator’s Patient Assist Port, verify the device also activates (audible/visual), as specified by its manufacturer.

3) When the alarm has sounded for at least 2 seconds, press the

Select button again.

• The audible alarm is silenced and the next menu item is displayed.

4) For ventilators with an audio sound symbol ( ) on the back panel label, verify a confirming audible chirp occurs after the alarm is silenced.

USING AC/DC POWER

Using the AC Adapter

To run the ventilator from an external AC power source.

1) Connect the power jack (straight or 90°) from the AC adapter to the power port

(earlier version ventilators) or power port pigtail connector (current version ventilators) on the left side of the ventilator.

2) Connect the proper AC power cable (110 or 220 V plug) to the AC power adapter.

3) Connect the 110 or 220 V power cable to a suitable power source.

While the ventilator is plugged in, the internal battery is continuously charged.

CAUTION: Release Button – To avoid damaging the ventilator or the power connector, press the release button on the connector before removing it from the ventilator power port pigtail connector.

Using an External DC Power Source

To run the ventilator from an external DC power source.

1) Connect the power port of the external DC power adapter cable to the power port on the left side of the ventilator (earlier version ventilators), or the power port pigtail connector (current version ventilators).

Connect the DC jack to the DC power source.

Charge Status

The ventilator is performing pre-charge qualification testing of the battery prior to starting the charge process. This happens when external power is first applied to the ventilator. The qualification process normally takes a few seconds but may take up to an hour on a deeply discharged battery.

The internal battery is charged to full level.

The battery has not reached a full charge level and is still charging.

The ventilator has detected a charge fault or internal battery fault.

The internal battery cannot be charged. Contact your CareFusion

Certified Service Technician.
