Puritan Bennett 560 Ventilator User's Manual - Covidien

Installation and Assembly
To connect the DC power cable to the ventilator:
1. Line up the red marker dot on the ventilator’s DC power connector with the marker on the DC
power cable (Figure 4-6, item 1).
Figure 4-6. Connecting the DC Power Cable to the Ventilator
2. Push the DC power cable onto the ventilator’s DC power connector (Figure 4-6, item 2).
• You will hear a locking “click”.
• The DC POWER indicator on the top left corner of the ventilator illuminates (see
Figure 4-4).
To disconnect the DC power cable from the ventilator, slide the locking ring (Figure 4-6, item 3) back and pull
the plug away from the ventilator’s rear panel to disengage it.
An “DC POWER DISCONNECTION“ alarm signals an automatic switch to the internal battery in case the external
DC power source fails or becomes disconnected.

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”.
