1 Safety Information
1.1
Definitions
This manual uses three indicators to highlight critical information: Warning, Caution, and Note. They are defined as follows:
Warning
Indicates a condition that can endanger the patient or the ventilator operator.
Indicates a condition that can damage the equipment.
Note:
Indicates points of particular emphasis, that make operation of the ventilator more efficient or convenient.
It is essential to read, understand and follow these instructions before using the Puritan Bennett™ 560
Ventilator.
In order to use the ventilator correctly and efficiently and to help prevent incidents, please pay particular attention to sections 1.2, “Warnings” , as well as all warnings and cautions contained throughout this manual.
Note:
Many of the functions of the ventilator are not accessible when the Locking key is enabled. For additional assistance contact your Clinician or equipment representative.
1.2
Warnings
General Warnings Regarding Use of Equipment
• The ventilator must be used only under the responsibility and on the prescription of a doctor.
• The ventilator must be used according to its intended use. Refer to section 2.1, “Indications for
Use” .
• Be aware this manual describes how to respond to ventilator, but it does NOT tell you how to respond to the patient.
• While the ventilator is in use, an alternative means of ventilation should always be available in the event of a ventilator problem. This is particularly true for ventilator-dependent patients.
Supplementary observation, appropriate for the patient's condition, is also recommended.
• To ensure that ventilation continues uninterrupted, ensure alternative power sources are available (AC power source, extra batteries, or an auxiliary DC car adapter). Be prepared for the possibility of power failure by having an alternative means of ventilation ready for use— particularly for ventilator-dependent patients.
Safety Information
•
Do not allow a patient to remain connected to the ventilator when ventilation is stopped, because a substantial quantity of exhalation gas, primarily carbon dioxide, may be inhaled by the patient. In some circumstances, inhaling carbon dioxide may lead to under-ventilation, suffocation, and serious injury or death.
• The ventilator must not be used with flammable anesthetic substances.
• Do not start ventilation until you ensure that the device is suitably assembled, that the air inlet filter is properly installed and is not obstructed, and that there is proper clearance all around the unit. Also ensure that the patient circuit is suitably connected to both the ventilator and the patient and that the patient circuit, including all hoses, is not damaged or obstructed.
•
A ventilator-dependent patient should always be monitored by trained and competent medical personnel. Ensure that the patient’s caregiver is able and prepared to take suitable action in the event the ventilator identifies an alarmed condition or experiences a problem.
•
Do not use a patient circuit with a leak accessory for ventilator-dependent patients.
•
Before dispensing the ventilator to caregivers or the patient for home use, ensure the Locking
Key is activated so that critical ventilator settings are not modified.
• Do not perform ventilator alarm tests while the patient is connected to the ventilator. Provide the patient with an alternate means of ventilation before conducting these tests.
•
Verify the functionality of the alarm conditions before connecting the patient to the ventilator.
•
If the ventilator fails the alarm tests or if you cannot complete the tests, refer to chapter 3,
“Troubleshooting” or call your equipment supplier or Covidien.
• When an alarm condition is triggered, or there is evidence of a patient-ventilator fault or problem, examine the patient first before examining the ventilator.
•
A continuous alarm condition will be activated if the ventilator power switch is turned off while ventilation is in progress. When the power switch is turned back on again, ventilation will resume without having to press the VENTILATION ON/OFF button.
•
To reduce the risk of infection, wash your hands thoroughly before and after handling the ventilator or its accessories.
• A patient treated by mechanical ventilation is highly vulnerable to the risks of infection. Dirty or contaminated equipment is a potential source of infection. Clean the ventilator and its accessories regularly and systematically before and after each use and following any maintenance procedure to reduce the risks of infection. The use of a bacterial filter at the ventilator’s outlet—or both ports if a double-limb circuit is used—is recommended. Refer to chapter 7, “Cleaning” .
•
Handle the ventilator with care during and after use, particularly when ambient temperatures are high. Some ventilator surfaces may become hot, even if safety specifications are not exceeded.
Warnings Regarding Installation and Environment of Use
•
Even though the Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator meets current safety standards, the internal
Lithium-ion battery of the device exceeds the 100Wh threshold and is therefore considered to be
Dangerous Goods (DG) Class 9 – Miscellaneous, when transported in commerce. As such, the
Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator and/or the associated Lithium-ion battery are subject to strict transport conditions under the Dangerous Goods Regulation for air transport (IATA: International
Air Transport Association), International Maritime Dangerous Goods code for sea and the
European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) for Europe. Private individuals who transport the device are excluded from these regulations although for air transport some requirements apply. For air transport; the Puritan Bennett™ 560
Ventilator is permitted as checked-in or carry-on baggage. Two spare batteries per person may be taken on board as carry-on luggage only, with the prior approval of the airline. This classification and regulatory requirements may vary depending upon the country and mode of transport.
Therefore it is recommended that users verify with the carrier / airline as to which measures to take before the voyage.
1-2 User’s Manual
Safety Information
•
To minimise the risk of damage, you must use the ventilator’s Dual Bag to transport the ventilator. See Table F-1, List of Consumables and Accessories .
• Regularly clean the ventilator’s Dual Bag according to manufacturer’s recommendations.
• The ventilator should never be immersed in any liquid, and any liquid on the surface of the device should be wiped away immediately.
•
To avoid damage to the ventilator, in particular the batteries or electrical components, fluids must not be allowed to enter the device, particularly through the air inlet filter or the cooling apertures located in the side, rear, and bottom panels of the ventilator.
•
To ensure correct and lasting operation of the device, ensure that the ventilator is installed and operated in the environmental conditions recommended in Appendix A, “Specifications.”
• Do not leave power cables lying on the ground where they may pose a hazard.
• Do not operate the ventilator in direct sunlight, near heat sources, outdoors, or near installations where liquid may pose a risk without first providing adequate protection for the device.
•
Avoid using the ventilator, if possible, in dusty environments. Dusty environments may require more vigilant monitoring, cleaning, and/or replacement of air intake and other filters.
• Ensure that the ventilator’s immediate surroundings allow for the proper operational connection of the device without folding, pinching, or damaging any of the required cables or tubes, and that the connection of the patient circuit to the patient provides for a secure, comfortable fit.
• Place the ventilator in a safe place when ventilating and according to the recommendations in this manual.
•
Do not place the ventilator in a position where a child can reach it or in any position that might cause it to fall on the patient or someone else.
• To ensure correct and lasting operation of the ventilator, ensure that its air circulation holes
(main inlet or cooling) are never obstructed. Place the device in an area where air can freely circulate around the ventilator and avoid installing it near floating fabrics, such as curtains.
• If the ventilator has been transported or stored at a temperature that differs more than 20 °C
(
36 °F) from the temperature in which it will be operating, the ventilator should be allowed to stabilise in its operating environment for at least two (2) hours prior to use.
• If the ambient temperature where the device is operated is greater than 35 °C (95 °F), the flow supplied at the device outlet may exceed 41 °C (106 °F). This may lead to undesirable side effects for the patient. To avoid injury to the patient move the patient and the ventilator to a cooler location. For more information, contact Covidien.
•
The default setting for altitude compensation is YES. Altitude compensation should always be set to YES for accurate volume delivery calculations at all elevations.
• To reduce the risk of a fire hazard, keep matches, lighted cigarettes, and all other sources of ignition (such as flammable anesthetics and/or heaters) away from the ventilator and oxygen hoses.
• Regularly check the cleanliness of the air inlet filter located on the rear of the ventilator. If necessary, replace the filter before the recommended replacement period is over (see chapter 8,
“Routine Maintenance” ). This is particularly important when the ventilator is installed on a wheelchair, because environmental conditions may cause the filter to become dirty more rapidly.
•
Handle the ventilator with care during and after use, particularly when ambient temperatures are high. Some ventilator surfaces may become hot, even if safety specifications are not exceeded.
Warnings Regarding Electrical Power Supplies
•
Never connect your ventilator to an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch because the power may be inadvertently turned off.
User’s Manual 1-3
Safety Information
•
The operator should connect the ventilator to an AC power source whenever available, for safer operation.
• The maximum recommended shelf life of the internal battery is two (2) years. Do not use a battery that has been stored for two years prior to its first use.
•
Periodic recharging is important to help maximise useful life of the battery. Do not store the internal battery for extended periods, without recharging, as this may reduce the maximum life.
• For the AC (“mains”) power cable to be properly secured, the attachment located on the power cable must be fitted into the power cable holder incorporated in the battery access cover and located under the AC (mains) power socket. Refer to section 4.2, “Connecting to External AC
Power” .
•
The power supply to which the ventilator is connected (both AC and DC) must comply with all applicable standards and provide electrical power corresponding to the voltage characteristics inscribed on the rear of the ventilator to ensure correct operation. Refer also to the electrical specifications found in Appendix A, “Specifications” .
• Ensure that the ventilator’s internal battery is fully charged before connecting the ventilator to an external DC power source. Powering the ventilator using an external 12– 30 VDC power source (via the DC power cable) does not enable its internal battery to recharge.
• Due to its limited internal battery’s reserve capacity, the ventilator should only be operated on the internal battery when no other power source is available. Ensure that the internal battery never becomes fully discharged.
• When using a car auxiliary adapter (cigarette lighter) ensure the car has been started prior to plugging in the ventilator’s DC adapter. Refer to chapter 4.3, “Connecting to an External DC
Power Source” .
• Even if the “INTERNAL BATTERY” charging indicator is off, charging of the battery may sometimes be incomplete if the ambient temperature is above 40 °C (104 °F) because of the battery’s internal heat safety device.
• When the “LOW BATTERY“ alarm is triggered, immediately connect the ventilator to an AC power supply to maintain ventilation and recharge the internal battery.
•
Batteries should be disposed of according to environmental legislation in your country and locality.
• Never expose any batteries to direct flame.
• Ensure that the AC power cable is in perfect condition and not compressed. The device should not be turned on if the AC power cable is damaged.
Warnings Regarding Hoses and Accessories
•
The ventilator must not use, nor be connected to, any anti-static or electrically conductive hoses, tubing, or conduits.
• Minimum and maximum VTE alarm parameters must be properly set to warn in the event of patient disconnection.
•
Before opening the packaging for the Patient Circuit, ensure that no damage is evident to the packaging or its contents. Do not use if evidence of damage exists.
• The patient circuit should not be changed during ventilation.
• On a DAILY basis, inspect the patient circuit to ensure that it shows no signs of damage, is properly connected, and is operating correctly without leakage.
•
Single Use accessories should not be reused.
1-4 User’s Manual
Safety Information
•
The exhalation block is intended for single use by a single patient . It may periodically be cleaned, but it cannot be disinfected or sterilised. To maintain good measurement quality when used continuously, clean the exhalation block periodically (refer to section 7.3, “Cleaning the
Exhalation Block” ). The exhalation block should be changed every 4 months and cannot be reused with any other patient.
•
During invasive ventilation (when an artificial airway bypasses the patient’s upper respiratory system), the patient’s upper respiratory system cannot humidify the incoming gas. For this reason, the use of a humidifier, to minimise drying of the patient’s airway and subsequent irritation and discomfort, must be used.
• If exhaled tidal volume measurements are required to ensure correct patient ventilation a double limb patient circuit configuration must be used in order to detect leaks. In this case, both the minimum and maximum VTE alarm parameters must be properly set to warn in the event of patient disconnection.
•
Failing to replace a dirty air inlet filter, or operating the ventilator without a filter, may cause serious damage to the ventilator.
• Before cleaning the ventilator, first disconnect the ventilator and the patient circuit.
• If the ventilator is used indoors, the condition of the air inlet filter should be checked monthly. If the ventilator is used outdoors or in a dusty environment, the filter should be checked weekly and replaced as necessary.
• The air inlet filter is not reusable; do not attempt to wash, clean, or reuse it.
• The patient circuit should always be positioned to avoid hindering the patient's movements, to prevent accidental disconnection or leakage, and to minimise the risk of patient strangulation.
•
For pediatric use, ensure that the patient circuit type fits, and, in all respects, is suitable for use with a child. Use a pediatric circuit for patients that weigh under 53 lb. (23 kg). To ensure proper performance of the ventilator, See Table F-2, List of Circuits , on page F-2, for a list of recommended patient circuits.
• Resistance of the exhalation valve and accessories (water traps, filters, HMEs etc) must be as low as possible.
•
Adding attachments to the ventilator breathing system can cause the pressure during exhalation at the patient connection port to increase.
• The exhalation valve must allow rapid discharge of the circuit pressure. Ensure that the exhalation valve is always clean and its evacuation aperture (exhaust port) is never obstructed.
•
Users must always possess an additional breathing circuit and exhalation valve while using the
Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator.
• Always ensure that the humidification device is positioned lower than both the ventilator and the patient. Use water traps, if necessary, to limit water in the patient circuit and periodically empty these water traps.
• If a heated humidifier is used, you should always monitor the temperature of the gas delivered to the patient. Gas delivered from the ventilator that becomes too hot may burn the patient's airway.
• Adding accessories to the ventilator breathing circuit, such as a humidifier and water trap(s), may result in a decrease in tidal volume delivered to the patient due to the added compressible volume of the accessory. Always assure that the patient is receiving the appropriate inspired volume when altering the breathing circuit configuration.
•
The level of inspiratory resistance of the circuit and accessories (bacteria filter, humidifier, HMEs etc) must be as low as possible. Settings—particularly the PATIENT DISCONNECTION alarm, maximum inspired volume (Max VTI), and minimum inspired volume (Min VTI) settings—must be periodically adjusted according to changes in the patient circuit resistance—especially when filters are replaced.
User’s Manual 1-5
Safety Information
•
To ensure proper performance of the ventilator, use a patient circuit recommended by Covidien in this manual; refer to chapter 4, “Installation and Assembly” and Appendix F, “Parts and
Accessories” . The total specified length of the patient circuit tubing as measured from the ventilator outlet to the ventilator inlet is 1.1 metres (3.6 feet) to 2.0 metres (6.6 feet). The tubing must conform to all applicable standards and must be fitted with Ø 22 mm terminals that also conform to all applicable standards. Ensure that both the length and the internal volume of the patient circuit are appropriate for the tidal volume: a corrugated tube of Ø 22 mm for adult patients, and a corrugated tube of Ø 15 mm for pediatric patients with a tidal volume lower than
200 ml.
•
To ensure proper performance of the ventilator, use only accessories (including oxygen accessories) approved and recommended by Covidien. See Appendix F, “Parts and Accessories” or contact your customer services.
•
When using non-invasive ventilation (NIV) without an exhalation valve, use a vented nose or face mask or a non vented combined with a leak accessory. When using non-invasive ventilation
(NIV) with an exhalation valve, use a non-vented mask.
•
Before using the Nurse Call system, ensure that its connections are secure and it operates properly. For more information, contact Covidien or your equipment supplier.
• To connect the ventilator to a Nurse Call device, contact Covidien or your equipment supplier to check the ventilator's compatibility with the Nurse Call device and order a suitable connection cable.
• Do not use Nurse Call devices that operate based on the closure of an electrical circuit, because the devices often do not take into account possible cable disconnection or a total loss of power.
Ensure that the Nurse Call device is always connected to the ventilator.
Warnings Regarding Settings
• Before starting ventilation, always verify that all settings are properly set in accordance with the required prescription.
•
Before starting ventilation, ensure that the device is properly assembled and that the air inlet, cooling vents, and alarm sound diffusion holes are not obstructed. Ensure also that the patient circuit is of the proper configuration (double or single limb), properly connected to the ventilator, and that the circuit hoses are neither damaged nor compressed and contain no obstructions or foreign bodies.
•
The CPAP mode does not provide a set respiratory rate. Do not use this mode for ventilatordependent patients.
• Do not allow a patient to remain connected to the ventilator when ventilation is stopped, because a substantial quantity of exhalation gas, primarily carbon dioxide, may be inhaled by the patient.
• Alarm volume should be adjusted with respect to the ventilator’s operating environment and so that the patient's caretakers can hear the alarms. The audible alarm vents located at the front of the device should never be obstructed. The alarm can be paused with the Alarm Pause function by pressing the ALARM CONTROL key twice once the alarm has been declared.
•
Ensure that the I Sens setting is not set to OFF when ventilating patients capable of triggering spontaneous breaths.
• Monitor the patient's state of health in order to ensure that the ventilator’s settings are always suited to the patient’s current physiological requirements.
•
In adult or pediatric use ensure that the adjusted tidal volume is compatible with the needs of the patient.
• When changing the mode during ventilation, significant transitions of pressure, flow or cycling rate might occur, depending on the difference between the modes. Before setting the new mode, first ensure that the settings between the different modes are compatible. This reduces the risk of discomfort and harm to the patient.
1-6 User’s Manual
Safety Information
• Do not conduct the ventilator alarm test while the patient is connected to the ventilator. Switch the patient to an alternate means of ventilation before testing.
• The setting of the Min PIP alarm must be adjusted for the patient, but must also be set high enough to allow the PATIENT DISCONNECTION alarm to trigger properly. Perform the Low
Pressure Test to ensure the Min PIP alarm is properly set.
• If APNEA TIME is set to a value higher than 60/Control R then the APNEA alarm will not activate.
• If an APNEA alarm is required, set the APNEA setting to YES in the Preferences Menu.
• The Apnea Alarm should be set to YES for ventilator dependant patients.
• Setting Alarm limits to extreme values can cause the ventilator alarms to malfunction.
• Ensure the Insp Time setting is compatible with the physiological requirements of the patient.
• Adjustable alarms should not be systematically cancelled; instead, they should be adjusted according to the needs and condition of the patient.
• A continuous alarm condition will be activated if the ventilator power switch is turned off while ventilation is in progress. When the power switch is turned back on again, the ventilation will resume without having to press the VENTILATION ON/OFF button.
• In the SIMV mode the use of a double limb circuit is recommended. The Min VTE setting should remain active in the event that pressure losses are present on the patient circuit downstream from the proximal pressure link. In such cases the “PATIENT DISCONNECTION” alarm would not be systematically activated in case of a disconnection of the circuit.
• The inspiration trigger threshold should be carefully modified in order to avoid the risk of false triggering or “autotriggering” of the ventilator. For example, Level 1P, the most sensitive mode, is recommended for pediatric use. However, for an adult, this setting may result in autotriggering.
• The sound level of the alarms should be adjusted according to the installation environment and the size of the area monitored by the patient’s caregiver. Ensure that the alarm sound apertures at the front of the device are never obstructed.
Warnings Regarding USB Memory Device
• Always verify the file ID before using a USB memory device to transfer data between the ventilator and a PC.

2 Ventilator Overview
2.1
Indications for Use
The Device name is indicated for the continuous or intermittent mechanical ventilatory support of patients weighing at least 11 lb (5 kg) who require mechanical ventilation. The ventilator is a restricted medical device intended for use by qualified, trained personnel under the direction of a doctor. It is essential to read, understand, and follow these instructions before using the Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator.
Target Patients
Specifically, the ventilator is applicable for adult and pediatric patients who require the following general types of invasive or non-invasive ventilatory support, as prescribed by an attending doctor:
• Positive Pressure ventilation
• Assist/Control, SIMV, or CPAP modes of ventilation
• Breath types including Volume Control, Pressure Control, and Pressure Support
Target Environments
The ventilator is suitable for use in institutional, home, and portable settings. It is not intended for use as an emergency transport ventilator.
The Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator is suitable for use on commercial aircraft, per FAA requirements. Refer to chapter A.11, “Standards Compliance and IEC Classification” . Patients traveling with the Puritan Bennett™
560 Ventilator may be required by their airline to demonstrate evidence of compliance with the RTCA/DO-
160F standard, as well as other requirements. Contact your airline prior to travel to determine airline specific requirements and documentation.
Warning
Even though the Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator meets current safety standards, the internal
Lithium-ion battery of the device exceeds the 100Wh threshold and is therefore considered to be Dangerous Goods (DG) Class 9 – Miscellaneous, when transported in commerce. As such, the
Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator and/or the associated Lithium-ion battery are subject to strict transport conditions under the Dangerous Goods Regulation for air transport (IATA:
International Air Transport Association), International Maritime Dangerous Goods code for sea and the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by
Road (ADR) for Europe. Private individuals who transport the device are excluded from these regulations although for air transport some requirements apply. For air transport; the Puritan
Bennett™ 560 Ventilator is permitted as checked-in or carry-on baggage. Two spare batteries per person may be taken on board as carry-on luggage only, with the prior approval of the airline. This classification and regulatory requirements may vary depending upon the country and mode of transport. Therefore it is recommended that users verify with the carrier / airline as to which measures to take before the voyage.
Ventilator Overview
Target Operators
The ventilator may be operated by:
• Respiratory therapists
• Doctors
• Nurses
• Homecare providers
• Patient and patient’s families
Warning
This ventilator must be used only under the responsibility and on the prescription of a doctor.
2.2
Contraindications
This ventilator is not for use with anesthetic gases, and is not intended for use as an emergency transport ventilator.
2.3
Operational Use
The Puritan Bennett™ 560 Portable Ventilator uses a micro-turbine to provide ventilatory support to patients.
Clinicians may use a variety of interfaces to connect patients to the ventilator: nasal masks or full face masks; endotracheal or tracheotomy tubes. User-selectable ventilation modes are:
• Assisted Controlled Volume (V A/C)
• Assisted Controlled Pressure (P A/C)
• Volume Synchronised Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (V SIMV)
• Pressure Synchronised Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (P SIMV)
• Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)
• Pressure Support Ventilation with apnea ventilation (PSV/ST)
Safety Net
Incorporated in the ventilator design is an alarm system that continuously monitors both patient and machine for signs of specific errors or faults that could lead to an unsafe condition. Should any of these errors or faults be detected, the alarm system announces the specific alarm condition both audibly and visually. The machinerelated alarm conditions are factory set, whereas the patient-related alarm conditions are defined by alarmthreshold values selected by an operator (a clinician or a caregiver). For more information, refer to chapter 3, “Alarms and Troubleshooting”
Settings
A software key, known as the “Locking Key,” restricts access to ventilation parameter settings and ventilation mode changes in order to distinguish between “clinician” usage and “patient” usage.
Oxygen Enrichment
Oxygen may be supplied from an external, low pressure source, but the oxygen flow must be limited to 15 lpm
(50 kPa, 500 mbar). The ventilator automatically compensates for the extra flow created by the external oxygen supply ( refer to chapter 4, “Installation and Assembly” )
Breathing Circuit
The ventilator can be used with a single or double limb patient circuit. If exhaled volume monitoring is required
(such as ventilator dependant patients), use the double-limb circuit for exhaled tidal volume monitoring. For more information, refer to section 4.4, “Patient Circuit” .
2-2 User’s Manual

3 Alarms and Troubleshooting
Warning
Setting Alarm limits to extreme values can cause the ventilator alarms to malfunction.
When an alarm condition is triggered, or there is evidence of a patient-ventilator fault or problem, examine the patient first before examining the ventilator.
Note:
Many of the functions of the ventilator are not accessible when the Locking key is enabled. For additional assistance contact your Clinician or equipment representative.
Default alarm setting preferences should be entered prior to using the ventilator.
The alarms or faults generated by your Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator are classified into two categories:
• Ventilation (or utilisation) alarms
• Technical faults
Some of the ventilator alarms are adjustable, depending on ventilation modes. Automatic, non-adjustable alarms also exist to create a safety net for safer patient ventilation.
Alarms indicate events likely to affect the ventilation in the short term and necessitate rapid intervention (refer to section 3.8, “Troubleshooting” ).
Technical faults do not directly affect machine operation. Therefore, the user is not alerted to technical faults.
Only authorised and trained technicians may consult the maintenance menu (refer to the Puritan Bennett™
560 Service Manual).
Alarms and Troubleshooting
3.1
Alarm Level of Priority
The alarm hierarchy for signalling the level of alarm criticality is listed below.
• Very High Priority (VHP): Immediate critical situation; ventilation is impossible:
Continuous Sound Signaling / With or Without Continuous Red LED Illumination / With or
Without Message / With or Without Display Lighting (it is possible for an alarm condition to occur that may not have both a message and lighting).
• High Priority (HP): Critical situation in the short term; ventilation is potentially compromised:
High Speed Intermittent Sound Signaling / Flashing Red LED Illumination / With Message /
With Display Lighting
• Medium Priority (MP): Critical situation in the long term; ventilation is not affected in the short term:
Medium Speed Intermittent Sound Signaling / Flashing Yellow LED Illumination / With
Message / With Display Lighting
Note:
If there is no corrective action and if the audible alarm is not inhibited (Audio Paused) or reset
(Alarm Reset) within 60 seconds, High Priority alarms will sound at the maximum level of 85 dB(A).

4 Installation and Assembly
Warning
Before operating the ventilator, read, understand, and strictly follow the information contained in Chapter 1, “Safety Information”.
A patient treated by mechanical ventilation is highly vulnerable to the risks of infection. Dirty or contaminated equipment is a potential source of infection. Clean the ventilator and its accessories regularly and systematically before and after each use and following any maintenance procedure to reduce the risks of infection. The use of a bacterial filter at the ventilator’s outlet—or both ports if a double-limb circuit is used—is highly recommended. Refer to chapter 7, “Cleaning” .
4.1
Installing the Ventilator
To install your Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator:
• Choose an area where air can circulate freely; avoid proximity to loose fabrics such as curtains.
• Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
• Set the ventilator on a flat and stable surface so that its feet are all in contact with the surface.
The ventilator may operate in any position, provided that the air inlets are not obstructed and the device cannot fall and possibly cause damage and/or personal injury.
Warning
The operator should connect the ventilator to an AC power source whenever available, for safer operation.
To ensure correct and lasting operation of the ventilator, ensure that its air circulation holes
(main inlet or cooling) are never obstructed. Place the device in an area where air can freely circulate around the ventilator and avoid installing it near floating fabrics, such as curtains.
Do not place the ventilator in a position where a child can reach it or in any position that might cause it to fall on the patient or someone else.
Ensure that the ventilator’s immediate surroundings allow for the proper operational connection of the device without folding, pinching, or damaging any of the required cables or tubes, and that the connection of the patient circuit to the patient provides for a secure, comfortable fit.
Do not operate the ventilator in direct sunlight, near heat sources, outdoors, or near installations where liquid may pose a risk without first providing adequate protection for the device.
If the ambient temperature where the device is operated is greater than 35 °C (95 °F) , the flow supplied at the device outlet may exceed 41 °C (106 °F). This may lead to undesirable side effects for the patient. To avoid injury to the patient move the patient and the ventilator to a cooler location. For more information, contact Covidien.
Installation and Assembly
To reduce the risk of a fire hazard, keep matches, lighted cigarettes, and all other sources of ignition (such as flammable anesthetics and/or heaters) away from the ventilator and oxygen hoses.
Never connect your ventilator to an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch because the power may be inadvertently turned off.
Even if the “INTERNAL BATTERY” charging indicator is off, charging of the battery may sometimes be incomplete if the ambient temperature is above 40 °C (104 °F) because of the battery’s internal heat safety device.
The use of any accessory other than those specified, with the exception of the power supplies or cables sold by Covidien, may lead to an increase in electromagnetic emissions or a decrease in the equipment protection against electromagnetic emissions. If the ventilator is used adjacent to such accessories or stacked with such devices, the ventilator’s performance should be monitored to verify normal operation.
The Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilatorrequires special precautions for electromagnetic compatibility and should be installed and started according to the recommendations found in
Appendix A, “Specifications.” In particular, the use of nearby mobile and portable communications equipment using radio frequencies, such as mobile telephones or other systems exceeding the levels set in the IEC / EN 60601-1-2 standard, may affect its operation.
Refer to section A.10, “Manufacturer’s Declaration” .
The ventilator must not use, nor be connected to, any anti-static or electrically conductive hoses, tubing, or conduits.
4.2
Connecting to External AC Power
Any of four power sources: AC power, 12 – 30 VDC power, Internal Battery power, or Auxiliary DC car adapter
(cigarette lighter) can be used to power the ventilator. But when AC power is available, the ventilator will automatically select AC power as its operating power source.
Warning
The power supply to which the ventilator is connected (both AC and DC) must comply with all current and applicable standards and provide electrical power corresponding to the voltage characteristics inscribed on the rear of the ventilator to ensure correct operation.
Ensure that the AC power cable is in perfect condition and not compressed. The device should not be turned on if the AC power cable is damaged.
Connect the external electrical power source by first connecting the power cable to the ventilator and then to the external power source. Follow the reverse procedure to disconnect the device from electrical power sources.
Do not leave power cables lying on the ground where they may pose a hazard.
To prevent accidental disconnection of the AC power cable, use the power cable holder ( Figure 4-1 , item 1)

4.3
Connecting to an External DC Power Source
Warning
Ensure that the ventilator’s internal battery is fully charged before connecting the ventilator to an external DC power source. Powering the ventilator using an external 12– 30 VDC power source (via the DC power cable) does not enable charging of its internal battery.
When using a car auxiliary adapter (cigarette lighter) ensure the car has been started prior to plugging in the ventilator’s DC adapter.
4-4 User’s Manual
Installation and Assembly
Note:
An alternative means of ventilation should always be available, particularly when the patient is in transit or away from wall power.
While using the ventilator on external battery power it is vital that a qualified caregiver (capable of providing necessary corrective actions in the event of alarm conditions) is present.
When AC power is not available use an external DC power prior to using internal battery power.
To connect the ventilator to an external power source do the following:
1. Ensure the car’s engine is started prior to connecting the ventilator.
2. Firstly connect the DC power cable into the ventilator.
3. Then connect the DC power cable into the car auxiliary adapter.
Note:
Whenever AC power is unavailable, the ventilator can operate from a continuously powered external 12 –
30 VDC power source via a DC power cable ( Figure 4-5 , item 1) that connects to the ventilator’s rear panel
DC power input connector ( Figure 4-5 , item 2). The DC power cable is optional; refer to Appendix F,

Patient Circuit
Warning
Before opening the packaging for the Patient Circuit, ensure that no damage is evident to the packaging or its contents. Do not use if evidence of damage exists.
For pediatric use, ensure that the patient circuit type fits, and, in all respects, is suitable for use with a child. Use a pediatric circuit for patients that weigh under 53 lb. (23 kg). See Table F-2,
List of Circuits , on page F-2 for a list of recommended patient circuits.
If exhaled tidal volume measurements are required to ensure correct patient ventilation a double limb patient circuit configuration must be used in order to detect leaks. In this case, both the minimum and maximum VTE alarm parameters must be properly set to warn in the event of patient disconnection.
The patient circuit should always be positioned to avoid hindering the patient's movements, to prevent accidental disconnection or leakage, and to minimise the risk of patient strangulation.
Ensure that the ventilator’s immediate surroundings allow for the proper operational connection of the device without folding, pinching, or damaging any of the required cables or tubes, and that the connection of the patient circuit to the patient provides for a secure, comfortable fit.
The patient circuit is intended for single use by a single patient and should be changed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and according to the patient circuit lifetime.
Refer to the instructions for use supplied by the manufacturer of the patient circuit (included with the ventilator) and chapter 4, “Installation and Assembly” .
4-6 User’s Manual
Installation and Assembly
After assembling, cleaning, or reassembling the patient circuit, and on a daily basis, inspect the hoses and other components to ensure that there are no cracks or leaks and that all connections are secure.
To ensure proper performance of the ventilator, use a patient circuit recommended by Covidien in this manual; refer to chapter 4, “Installation and Assembly” and Appendix F, “Parts and
Accessories” . The total specified length of the patient circuit tubing as measured from the ventilator outlet to the ventilator inlet is 1.1 metres (3.6 feet) to 2.0 metres (6.6 feet). The tubing must conform to all applicable standards and must be fitted with Ø 22 mm terminals that also conform to all applicable standards. Ensure that both the length and the internal volume of the patient circuit are appropriate for the tidal volume: a corrugated tube of Ø 22 mm for adult patients, and a corrugated tube of Ø 15 mm for pediatric patients with a tidal volume lower than 200 ml.
Adding accessories to the ventilator breathing circuit, such as a humidifier and water trap(s), may result in a decrease in tidal volume delivered to the patient due to the added compressible volume of the accessory. Always assure that the patient is receiving the appropriate inspired volume when altering the breathing circuit configuration.
Users must always possess an additional breathing circuit and exhalation valve while using the
Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator.
4.4.1 Choosing the Patient Circuit Type
Single limb circuits are used with breathing modes where spirometry measurements are not required, and double limb circuits are used with breathing modes where spirometry is required. Be sure to choose the appropriate circuit in the menu preferences; in particular, ensure that Pediatric Circuit Yes/No is set to YES when using a pediatric circuit (refer to chapter F, “Parts and Accessories” ).

Figure 4-10. Single limb Patient Circuit Without Exhalation Valve
For both types of circuits, shown previously, you should connect the end of the proximal pressure tube as close as possible to the patient (at the mask or cannula entry, if possible) so that the ventilator can account for all load losses due to the circuit and its potential accessories. If this is not possible, it is best to modify the PATIENT
DISCONNECTION triggering threshold by doing one of the following: set a Max VTI alarm limit for pressure modes or a Min VTE alarm limit for all ventilation modes if using a dual limb circuit.
As a reminder: Ensure that the length and the internal volume of the patient circuit are compatible with the tidal volume: ringed tube Ø 22 mm for adults and ringed tube Ø 15 mm for pediatric patients with tidal volumes lower than 200 ml. Use, if necessary, a 22F-15M link on the outlet and a 15M-22M link on the exhalation block for a double limb circuit.
Warning
When using non-invasive ventilation (NIV), without an exhalation valve, use a vented nose or face mask or a non vented combined with a leak accessory. When using non-invasive ventilation
(NIV), with an exhalation valve, use a non vented mask.
The level of inspiratory resistance of the circuit and accessories (bacteria filter, humidifier, and so on) must be as low as possible. Settings—particularly the PATIENT DISCONNECTION alarm,
High inspired volume (High VTI), and Low inspired volume (Low VTI) settings—must be periodically adjusted according to changes in the patient circuit resistance—especially when filters are replaced.
Resistance of the exhalation valve and accessories (water traps, filters, HMEs etc) must be as low as possible.
The exhalation valve must allow rapid discharge of the circuit pressure. Ensure that the exhalation valve is always clean and its evacuation aperture (exhaust port) is never obstructed.
Do not start ventilation until you ensure that the device is suitably assembled, that the air inlet filter is properly installed and is not obstructed, and that there is proper clearance all around the unit. Also ensure that the patient circuit is suitably connected to both the ventilator and the patient and that the patient circuit, including all hoses, is not damaged or obstructed.
Adding accessories to the ventilator breathing circuit, such as a humidifier and water trap(s), may result in a decrease in tidal volume delivered to the patient due to the added compressible volume of the accessory. Always assure that the patient is receiving the appropriate inspired volume when altering the breathing circuit configuration.

Filters
Warning
Regularly check the cleanliness of the air inlet filter located on the rear of the ventilator. If necessary, replace the filter before the recommended replacement period is over (see chapter 8,
“Routine Maintenance” ). This is particularly important when the ventilator is installed on a wheelchair, because environmental conditions may cause the filter to become dirty more rapidly.
The ventilator features two filter types:
• air inlet filter
• bacteria filter
Air Inlet Filter
Consisting of foam and fine particle filter media and located at the rear of the ventilator, this filters the air as it enters the ventilator.
Figure 4-11. Air Inlet Filter
Warning
The air inlet filter is not reusable; do not attempt to wash, clean, or reuse it.
Failing to replace a dirty air inlet filter, or operating the ventilator without a filter, may cause serious damage to the ventilator.
Bacteria Filter
It is highly recommended that you install a bacteria filter (see Figure 4-12 ) on both single and double limb circuits. In a double limb configuration, two bacteria filters are used: one at the
TO PATIENT port, and the other at the FROM PATIENT port.
• Connected to the TO PATIENT port:
This filter protects the ventilator from contamination by the patient (primarily, rebreathed gas).
Refer to Figure 4-8 , item 1.
User’s Manual 4-11
Installation and Assembly
• Connected to the FROM PATIENT port:
This filter protects the internal exhalation flow sensor from the gases exhaled by the patient.
Refer to Figure 4-8 , item 10.
Figure 4-12. Bacteria Filter
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for more information about the use and maintenance of the bacteria filter(s).
4.6
Humidifier
The humidifier ( Figure 4-13 ) adds moisture (water vapour) and warms the gas in the patient circuit. It is inserted into the patient circuit between the main outlet and the patient (refer to Figure 4-7 and Figure 4-8 ).
Warning
During invasive ventilation (when an artificial airway bypasses the patient’s upper respiratory system), the patient’s upper respiratory system cannot humidify the incoming gas. For this reason, the use of a humidifier, to minimise drying of the patient’s airways and subsequent irritation and discomfort, must be used.
Always position a humidification device so that it is lower than both the ventilator and the patient. Use water traps, if necessary, to limit water in the patient circuit and periodically empty these water traps.
If a heated humidifier is used, you should always monitor the temperature of the gas delivered to the patient. Gas delivered from the ventilator that becomes too hot may burn the patient's airway.
Adding accessories to the ventilator breathing circuit, such as a humidifier and water trap(s), may result in a decrease in tidal volume delivered to the patient due to the added compressible volume of the accessory. Always assure that the patient is receiving the appropriate inspired volume when altering the breathing circuit configuration.

Refer to the humidification device’s instruction for information on operating, cleaning, and sterilising the humidifier.
4.7
Exhalation Block
Warning
The exhalation block is intended for single use by a single patient . It may periodically be cleaned, but it cannot be disinfected or sterilised. To maintain good measurement quality when used continuously, change it every 4 months.
Ensure that the exhalation block is completely dried after cleaning and prior to use.
Warning
When an exhalation block is set up, each time it is removed, or after installing a new exhalation block on the machine, it is essential that the exhalation flow sensor be recalibrated before the exhalation block is used.
The exhalation block requires calibration and should only be removed or cleaned by qualified personnel.

Oxygen
4.8.1 Administering Oxygen
Warning
The ventilator must not be used with flammable anesthetic substances.
Oxygen therapy for patients with respiratory failure is a common and effective medical prescription. However, be aware that inappropriate oxygen use may potentially lead to serious complications, including, but not limited to, patient injury.
To avoid injury to the patient and/or possible damage to the ventilator: before using the ventilator, use a flow meter (flow regulator) to regulate the oxygen supply to specifications before connecting the ventilator to the oxygen supply.
Ensure that the oxygen supply pressure to the machine never exceeds 7 psi (50 kPa) or a flow of
15 lpm. Refer to Table A-8 on page A-3 for volume and sensitivity tolerances.
User’s Manual 4-13
Installation and Assembly
The Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator can be used with an optional oxygen analyser with minimum and maximum concentration alarms. Always measure the delivered oxygen with a calibrated oxygen analyser (FIO
2
kit) that features a minimum and maximum concentration alarm in order to ensure that the prescribed oxygen concentration is delivered to the patient.
Oxygen administered to the patient is introduced from an external source into the machine through the oxygen connector at the rear of the ventilator. It is then integrated into the total volume of delivered gas. Remove the oxygen inlet connector from the back of the ventilator when external oxygen is not in use.
The specific oxygen flow to the patient depends on the physiological characteristics of the patient and the ventilator settings.
The oxygen flow setting should be adjusted for each patient and established in relation to a calibrated oxygen monitor measurement. Since the factors that affect administered oxygen flow may change over time, you must ensure that these settings always correspond to the current oxygen therapy objectives specified by the physician.
4.8.2 Connecting the Oxygen Supply
Warning
Ensure that the only gas supplied to the ventilator through the dedicated oxygen supply connector is medical-grade oxygen.
The hose connecting the ventilator to the oxygen source must be designed exclusively for use with medical-grade oxygen. Under no circumstances should the oxygen hose be modified by the user. In addition, the hose must be installed without the use of lubricants.
A connector ( Figure 4-15 , item 1) for an external low pressure oxygen source is available at the rear of the ventilator. It is essential that you also use the special coupler (item 2) supplied with the ventilator to attach the external low pressure oxygen source to the connector. The connector is also fitted with a non-return airtight valve system. The non-return airtight valve system includes a stud (item 3) and a locking tab (item 4).

1. Open the rear panel of the Dual Bag.
2. Slip the ventilator into the Dual Bag, pushing it in completely to ensure a snug fit.
3. Shut the rear panel of the Dual Bag ensuring that the hook and loop fastener strips are securely fastened.
4.10 Mounting the Ventilator on a Wheelchair
Warning
Due to its limited internal battery’s reserve capacity, the ventilator should only be operated on the internal battery when no other power source is available. Ensure that the internal battery never becomes fully discharged.
Do not operate the ventilator in direct sunlight, near heat sources, outdoors, or near installations where liquid may pose a risk without first providing adequate protection for the device.
To avoid damage to the ventilator, in particular the batteries or electrical components, fluids must not be allowed to enter the device, particularly through the air inlet filter or the cooling apertures located in the side, rear, and bottom panels of the ventilator.
If exhaled tidal volume measurements are required to ensure correct patient ventilation a double limb patient circuit configuration must be used in order to detect leaks. In this case, both the minimum and maximum VTE alarm parameters must be properly set to warn in the event of patient disconnection.
To minimise the risk of damage, you must use the ventilator’s Dual Bag to transport the ventilator. See Table F-1, List of Consumables and Accessories .
Before using the ventilator’s internal battery, ensure that the battery is fully charged and that the charge holds. Back up ventilators or those in storage should be connected to an AC power source to protect the integrity of the battery.
Regularly check the cleanliness of the air inlet filter located on the rear of the ventilator. If necessary, replace the filter before the recommended replacement period is over. This is particularly important when the ventilator is installed on a wheelchair, because environmental conditions may cause the filter to become dirty more rapidly.

5 Operating Procedures
5.1
Turning on the Ventilator
Warning
Before operating the ventilator, read, understand, and strictly follow the information contained in Chapter 1, “Safety Information”.
If the ventilator has been transported or stored at a temperature that differs more than 20 °C
(
36 °F) from the temperature in which it will be operating, the ventilator should be allowed to stabilise in its operating environment for at least two (2) hours prior to use.
To reduce the risk of a fire hazard, keep matches, lighted cigarettes, and all other sources of ignition (such as flammable anesthetics and/or heaters) away from the ventilator and oxygen hoses.
While the ventilator is in use, an alternative means of ventilation should always be available in the event of a ventilator problem. This is particularly true for ventilator-dependent patients.
Supplementary observation, appropriate for the patient's condition, is also recommended.
To ensure that ventilation continues uninterrupted, ensure alternative power sources are available (AC power source, extra batteries, or an auxiliary DC car adapter). Be prepared for the possibility of power failure by having an alternative means of ventilation ready for use— particularly for ventilator-dependent patients.
Do not start ventilation until you ensure that the device is suitably assembled, that the air inlet filter is properly installed and is not obstructed, and that there is proper clearance all around the unit. Also ensure that the patient circuit is suitably connected to both the ventilator and the patient and that the patient circuit, including all hoses, is not damaged or obstructed.
Users must always possess an additional breathing circuit and exhalation valve while using the
Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator.
Verify the functionality of the alarm conditions before connecting the patient to the ventilator.
Before starting ventilation, always verify that all settings are properly set in accordance with the required prescription.
If the ventilator fails the alarm tests or if you cannot complete the tests, refer to section 3.8,
“Troubleshooting” or call your equipment supplier or Covidien.

6 Internal Battery
Warning
Even though the Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator meets current safety standards, the internal
Lithium-ion battery of the device exceeds the 100Wh threshold and is therefore considered to be Dangerous Goods (DG) Class 9 – Miscellaneous, when transported in commerce. As such, the
Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator and/or the associated Lithium-ion battery are subject to strict transport conditions under the Dangerous Goods Regulation for air transport (IATA:
International Air Transport Association), International Maritime Dangerous Goods code for sea and the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by
Road (ADR) for Europe. Private individuals who transport the device are excluded from these regulations although for air transport some requirements apply. For air transport; the
Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator is permitted as checked-in or carry-on baggage. Two spare batteries per person may be taken on board as carry-on luggage only, with the prior approval of the airline. This classification and regulatory requirements may vary depending upon the country and mode of transport. Therefore it is recommended that users verify with the carrier / airline as to which measures to take before the voyage.
Ensure that the ventilator’s internal battery is fully charged before connecting the ventilator to an external DC power source. Powering the ventilator using an external 12– 30 VDC power source (via the DC power cable) does not enable charging of its internal battery.
The maximum recommended shelf life of the internal battery is two (2) years. Do not use a battery that has been stored for two years prior to its first use.
Periodic recharging is important to help maximize useful life of the battery. Do not store the internal battery for extended periods, without recharging, as this may reduce the maximum life.
6.1
Battery Capacity
The reserve capacity offered by the internal battery depends on the level of ventilation parameters, the environmental conditions (primarily in terms of temperature) and the physiological characteristics of the patient.
With a fully charged battery at a normal room temperature of 25 ºC (± 5 ºC), the ventilator can be expected to operate on internal battery power for the average durations shown in Table 6-1 .
Checking the battery charge level requires that the ventilator be running on battery power at the time of the battery check. To check the battery charge level, temporarily disconnect the ventilator from AC power (while in Stand By mode or while providing ventilation) and read the percent charge level displayed adjacent to the battery icon displayed at the top of the ventilator's display screen.

Battery Operation
Warning
Before using the ventilator’s internal battery, ensure that the battery is fully charged and that the charge holds. Back up ventilators or those in storage should be connected to an AC power source to protect the integrity of the battery.
Note:
Buzzer and battery alarms may occur when the unit is first powered on after the internal battery has been completely drained. Connect to an AC power source and recycle power.
In the event of AC power interruption or disconnection of the external AC or DC power supply, the ventilator automatically switches to its internal battery and the following events occur:
• The Battery symbol is displayed at the top on the general information line.
• Battery reserve capacity is displayed on the right of the symbol.
• The “INTERNAL BATTERY“ indicator at the top left of the ventilator’s front panel is continuously lit ( Figure 6-1 ).

Internal Battery
Figure 6-1. Internal Battery Indicator
• A loss of external supply alarm is activated.
If ventilation is stopped , the internal battery reserve capacity is displayed as a percentage of battery charge.
Refer to Figure 6-2 .
Figure 6-2. Battery Reserve Capacity as a Percentage
If the ventilator is running , the internal battery reserve is momentarily displayed as a percentage. Then, after the ventilator calculates the battery time remaining (which takes about two minutes, depending on the power consumption of the ventilator), the internal battery reserve is then displayed in hours and minutes (rounded to the nearest fifteen minutes). Refer to Figure 6-3 .
Figure 6-3. Battery Reserve Capacity in Hours and Minutes
The “LOW BATTERY“ and “EMPTY BATTERY“ alarms (refer to chapter 3, “Alarms and Troubleshooting” ) are triggered when the internal battery reserve is reduced.
User’s Manual 6-3
Internal Battery
Warning
Due to its limited internal battery’s reserve capacity, the ventilator should only be operated on the internal battery when no other power source is available. Ensure that the internal battery never becomes fully discharged.
When the “LOW BATTERY“ alarm is triggered, immediately connect the ventilator to an AC power supply to maintain ventilation and recharge the internal battery.
From the time that an “EMPTY BATTERY“ alarm is activated, if no external supply is connected to the ventilator, other alarms may be triggered due to insufficient supply voltage.
In the final discharge phase, the “EMPTY BATTERY” alarm will become continuous, and ventilation may be interrupted at any time during this phase.
Note:
The “EMPTY BATTERY” alarm symbol may disappear shortly before the ventilator completely stops, but it always triggers a final, continuous alarm.
6.3
Testing the Battery
Your ventilator continuously and automatically checks the state of the internal battery, even when the battery is not used as the main source of energy. The “BATTERY FAULT1“ alarm is activated whenever a problem is detected in the battery or the charger.
However, on a monthly basis you should disconnect the ventilator from the external power supply to check the integrity of the connections linking the internal battery to other ventilator components.
6.4
Recharging the Battery
In the event that the battery charge level is considered insufficient, as per the reserve capacity display, recharge of the internal battery is necessary. In general, it is recommended that the ventilator be allowed to charge when the battery drops below 80%, and that the ventilator be recharged systematically after storage and before using it again.
Note:
To avoid cycling and extend battery life while connected to an AC power source, the battery will not begin charging until it has dropped below an 85%-90% charge.
TTo charge the internal battery, do the following:
Connect the ventilator to the AC power source.
• The “AC POWER” indicator illuminates ( Figure 6-4 , item 1).
6-4 User’s Manual
• The “INTERNAL BATTERY“ indicator flashes ( Figure 6-4 , item 2).

Internal Battery
2
Figure 6-4. Power Indicators When Charging the Battery
When the battery charge is complete, the “INTERNAL BATTERY“ indicator turns off.
Warning
Even if the “INTERNAL BATTERY“ indicator is off, charge of the battery may sometimes be incomplete regardless of charge time when the ambient temperature is above 40 °C (104 °F).
This is due to the characteristics of the battery’s internal heat safety device.
Although it is not necessary to start the ventilator to charge the battery, charging the battery during operation will increase the time required to fully charge the internal battery.
When recharging a depleted internal battery, it may be necessary to leave the ventilator on charge for up to six
(6) hours if the ventilator is on standby and about 13 hours if ventilation is operating.
Warning
Ensure that the ventilator’s internal battery is fully charged before connecting the ventilator to an external DC power source. Powering the ventilator using an external 12–30 VDC power source (via the DC power cable) does not enable charging of its internal battery.
6.5
Storage
If the ventilator is to be stored for an extended period of time, it is not necessary to remove the battery. However, the ventilator should be stored in cool, dry, well-ventilated environment, as follows:
• Temperature: approximately 21 °C (70 °F)
• Humidity: less than 80% RH
User’s Manual 6-5
Note:
When the device is in storage it should be recharged monthly to maximise battery life.
If the battery is stored for more than one month at a temperature greater than 21 °C (70 °F), or for more than one or two weeks at a temperature greater than 45 °C (113 °F), the reserve capacity of the battery may be affected. It will then be necessary to recharge the battery before using it again.
If the ventilator has been in storage for longer than 30 days connect it to an AC power source, turn on the unit by the I/O switch at the rear of the ventilator, and let it charge for 15 minutes prior to starting ventilation.
Note:
Fully charge the internal battery prior to disconnecting from AC Power source (“mains”).
The battery should not be stored for more than two years, whatever the conditions.

Follow the accessory manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning the ventilator’s accessories and components, including the patient circuit.
Warning
After assembling, cleaning, or reassembling the patient circuit, and on a daily basis, inspect the hoses and other components to ensure that there are no cracks or leaks and that all connections are secure.
Never use a liquid cleaner inside the patient circuit, or on any component of a gas pathway.
Clean the patient circuit only as specified by the manufacturer's instructions.
7.3
Cleaning the Exhalation Block
Warning
The exhalation block is intended for single use by a single patient . It may periodically be cleaned, but it cannot be disinfected or sterilised. To maintain good measurement quality when used continuously, clean the exhalation block periodically. The exhalation block should be changed every 4 months and cannot be reused with any other patient.
Ensure that the exhalation block is completely dried after cleaning and prior to use.
When an exhalation block is set up, each time it is removed, or after installing a new exhalation block on the machine, it is essential that the exhalation flow sensor be recalibrated before the exhalation block is used.
Note:
Many of the functions of the ventilator are not accessible when the Locking key is enabled. For additional assistance contact your Clinician or equipment representative.
7-2 User’s Manual
8 Routine Maintenance
Warning
On a DAILY basis, inspect the patient circuit to ensure that it shows no signs of damage, is properly connected, and is operating correctly without leakage.
Do not attempt to open, repair or otherwise service the ventilator yourself. Doing so might endanger the patient, damage the ventilator, and/or void your warranty. Only personnel authorised and qualified by Covidien should repair, open or service the ventilator.
8.1
Replacing the Air Inlet Filter
Warning
Regularly check the cleanliness of the air inlet filter located on the rear of the ventilator. If necessary, replace the filter before the recommended replacement period is over. This is particularly important when the ventilator is installed on a wheelchair, because environmental conditions may cause the filter to become dirty more rapidly.
Failing to replace a dirty air inlet filter, or operating the ventilator without a filter, may cause serious damage to the ventilator.
The air inlet filter is not reusable; do not attempt to wash, clean, or reuse it.
If the ventilator is used indoors, the condition of the air inlet filter should be checked monthly. If the ventilator is used outdoors or in a dusty environment, the air inlet filter should be checked weekly and replaced as necessary.
To replace the air inlet filter:
1. Hold the filter between your fingers (see Figure 8-1 , item 1).
2. Remove the filter ( Figure 8-1 , item 2) and discard it.
3. Place the new filter in the device, while ensuring that: a. The fine particle side of the filter faces outwards , away from the ventilator.
Routine Maintenance b. The filter is properly installed in its housing. Proper installation of the filter prevents particles from entering the device.

For a list of parts and accessories, refer to Appendix F, “Parts and Accessories” or contact your service representative or consult www.puritanbennett.com.
* The exhalation block replacement frequency may be 3 months (**) for patients ventilated by tracheotomy > 12 hours / day. The replacement frequency may be extended to 6 months for patients ventilated < 12hours / day depending on the frequency of technician visits
** This minimum replacement period is based on bench test validation performed under 24/24 continuous ventilation and active humidification conditions over a period of 3 months. (Test report
N°08DE265). Test report results show that no condensation or drops of water that would affect flow measurement were found in the exhalation block or the Piezzo valve.
8-2 User’s Manual
Routine Maintenance
Note:
For all additional accessories not necessarily considered as consumables consult the manufacturer’s recommendations.
To prevent any risk of cross contamination we recommend the use of DAR™ filters (Ref: 351/5856 or equivalent) to protect the patient outlet port and the exhalation block port.
Warning
Regularly check the cleanliness of the air inlet filter located on the rear of the ventilator. Replace it when necessary—even before the recommended replacement period has elapsed, and particularly when the ventilator is installed on the wheelchair. Environmental conditions may cause the filter to become dirty more rapidly.
The exhalation block is intended for single use by a single patient . It may periodically be cleaned, but it cannot be disinfected or sterilised. To maintain good measurement quality when used continuously, clean the exhalation block periodically (refer to section 7.3, “Cleaning the
Exhalation Block” ). The exhalation block should be changed every 4 months and cannot be reused with any other patient.
Failure to observe these recommendations may result in a loss of performance, excessive overheating, a loss of certain functions and, in the long term, compromise the longevity of the ventilator.
Maintenance of the Internal Battery
The internal battery does not need to be removed to verify its correct operation.
Periodic Test of the Internal Battery
Your ventilator continuously and automatically checks the state of the internal battery, even when the internal battery is not used as the main power source.
However, the battery charge status should be checked MONTHLY by disconnecting the ventilator from external power supplies (refer to section 6, “Battery Operation.” ). Such a test is imperative after opening the ventilator or after a prolonged period of non-use (one month or more), in order to ensure the correct operation of internal connections linking the battery to other components.
Warning
The maximum recommended shelf life of the internal battery is two (2) years. Do not use a battery that has been stored for two years prior to its first use.
Periodic recharging is important to help maximise useful life of the battery. Do not store the internal battery for extended periods, without recharging, as this may reduce the maximum life.
Replacement of the Internal Battery
The internal battery should be replaced when the battery capacity drops below 3840 mAh. Keep in mind that, for environmental protection, the ventilator and its components—including its internal battery—cannot be disposed of with household waste. You must submit the ventilator and its components for suitable selective collection and possible recycling and observe all applicable regulations.
Note:
As the total number of battery charge/discharge cycles approaches 300, a drop in potential of as much as
20% may be detected.

The compliance levels in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2.5 GHz are intended to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment could cause interference if it is inadvertently brought into patient areas. For this reason, an additional factor of 10/3 is used in calculating the recommended separation distance for transmitters in these frequency ranges.
c
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the ventilator is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator.

B Modes of Ventilation
B.1
Modes of Ventilation
This chapter is a general description of the various modes of ventilation and breath types available with the
Device name.
Note:
The default ventilation mode setting is P A/C; for more information, see below.
B.1.1 Assist/Control (A/C) Modes
When set to an Assist/Control mode, machine-initiated breaths are delivered at a clinician-set volume or pressure, inspiratory time, and rate. If the patient triggers a spontaneous breath between machine breaths, the ventilator will deliver a breath based on the volume or pressure settings and inspiratory time.
Whether initiated by the patient or the ventilator, all breaths are delivered at the same preset volume or pressure and inspiratory time.
The names of the Assist/Control modes are:
• V A/C, if the breaths are based on a volume setting
• P A/C, if the breaths are based on a pressure setting
B.1.2 SIMV Modes
When set to a SIMV (Synchronised Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation) Mode, machine-initiated breaths are delivered at a clinician-set volume or pressure, inspiratory time, and rate. These mandatory breaths are synchronised with patient effort. If the patient triggers a spontaneous breath between machine breaths, the ventilator will deliver a spontaneous breath, which is pressure-supported.
CPAP spontaneous breaths are not available in SIMV modes.
The names of the SIMV modes are:
• V SIMV, if mandatory breaths are based on a volume setting
• P SIMV, if mandatory breaths are based on a pressure setting
B.1.3 CPAP Mode
In CPAP, the ventilator maintains a constant level of pressure in the patient’s airway.
Modes of Ventilation
B.1.4 PSV Mode
PSV mode maintains a constant level of pressure in the patient’s airway during exhalation. In addition, the ventilator applies a clinician-set pressure (Pressure Support) to each of the patient’s breaths. This has the same benefits as CPAP, with the additional benefit of assisting the patient in moving gas into his or her lungs.

RATE alarm will be triggered if the total breath rate exceeds the maximum limit set.
Max P (Maximum Inspiration Pressure)
Max P allows the ventilator to adjust the inspiratory pressure up to a maximum limit in order to reach the target tidal volume (Vt Target).
Mbar
An abbreviation for “millibar“ which is a unit of measure for atmospheric pressure.
Mean Airway Pressure
Average patient pressure during each breath.
Minimum Exhalation Time
Minimum exhalation time before allowing the patient inspiratory trigger.
Minimum Inspiratory Time
Minimum inspiratory time before allowing the patient to exhale.
M Vol (
Minute Volume)
Flow delivered at each breath to the patient is measured by the inspiratory flow sensor and that measurement is used to calculate minute volume (Vt x Rtot)
Nurse Call
This function allows for remote alerts of ventilator alarm conditions (for example, when the ventilator is in an isolation room)
P A/C (Pressure Assist /Control)
A ventilator mode which provides machine-initiated breaths delivered at a clinician-set pressure, inspiratory time, and rate.
Patient Breath
Breathing cycle initiated by the patient.
G-4 User’s Manual

Glossary
Patient Counter
Counter of ventilation time for the patient.
Patient effort
Inspiratory effort initiated by the patient.
Patient circuit
Tubing between the ventilator and the patient.
Pause
Waveforms freezing function.
PAW (Peak Airway Pressure)
The Peak Airway Pressure is the average peak pressure during the inspiratory phase, measured by each cycle and over the previous 24 hour period.
Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP)
The highest pressure measured in the patient circuit during the inspiration phase.
Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP)
Pressure in the patient circuit at the end of expiration.
Pressure Control (P Control)
Augmentation of the patient's ventilation synchronously with inspiratory effort until a preset pressure is met. Pressure is maintained throughout patient inspiratory flow, and is cycled to expiration by time (controlled by the selected Inspiratory Time setting). Used in Assist/Control mode.
Pressure Support (P Support)
Augmentation of the patient’s ventilation synchronously with inspiratory effort until a preset pressure is met. Pressure is maintained until inspiratory flow is reduced to a percentage of peak flow that depends on the exhalation sensitivity setting for the inspiration, when the ventilator cycles into exhalation. Available in SIMV or Spontaneous modes.
PSI
Pounds Per Square Inch.
PSV (Pressure Support Ventilation)
Pressure support ventilation.
Rebreathing
The patient breathes his/her exhaled gas.
Respiration rate
The number of breath cycles (inspiration + expiration) completed within one minute
.
Normal resting adult respiratory rates are from 12 – 20 breaths per minute (bpm).
Rise Time
This determines how the target pressure will be reached, and indirectly defines the minimum inspiration time.
G-5
Glossary
Rtot
Parameter measured by the ventilator equal to the total number of breaths per minute (bpm).
Sensitivity
This adjustable parameter determines the amount of inspiratory effort required by the patient before the ventilator delivers an assisted breath, or demands flow in the case of a spontaneous breath.
The Puritan Bennett™ 560 Ventilator is flow-triggered, with sensitivity levels in the range from
1 to 5: the lower the number, the more sensitive the trigger.
Sigh
A sigh is an increased volume of gas delivered to the patient at a set rate. i.e. every 50 breaths.
Spont Cyc (Spontaneous Cycling)
This is the percentage of ventilation cycles initiated by the patient over the previous 24 hour period.
Spontaneous
A ventilation mode that delivers assisted breaths only. Spontaneous mode does not provide breaths if the patient does not make an inspiratory effort greater than the sensitivity settings and there is no apnea backup rate.
Standby
The operational mode of the ventilator where it is powered (power supply I/O button set to the
I position), but is not ventilating the patient.
SIMV (Synchronised Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation)
A ventilator mode which provides a mechanism for synchronising the ventilator-delivered breaths with a patient's inspiration, as detected by the ventilator.
Tidal volume (Vt)
Volume of gas delivered to the patient in a breath.
Unfreeze
Resumption of the waveform plot tracing on the ventilator’s display.
V A/C (Volume Assist / Control)
A ventilator mode which provides machine-initiated breaths are delivered at a clinician-set volume inspiratory time, and rate.
Vent Time (Ventilation Time)
The ventilation duration data is based on the patient counter and shows the total ventilation time in hours and minutes over the previous 24 hour period.
Volume breath
Inspiration of the selected volume, delivered over the selected inspiratory time.
