LTV 1200 Operator's Manual - CareFusion Emergency Preparedness

WARNING
Ventilation Variables and O2 Consumption - Variations in the patient’s minute ventilation, I:E ratio
and/or ventilator setting changes or equipment status (i.e. circuit leaks) affect the consumption rate of
oxygen. When warranted by a patients condition, it is recommended that a back-up cylinder or
alternative source of oxygen be available at all times.
Before Using Automobile Cigarette Lighter or Power Outlets - Before using Automobile Cigarette
Lighter or Power Outlets as a power source for the LTV ® 1200, assure that the ventilator’s internal
battery is in good condition and fully charged. Poor cigarette lighter or power outlet connections,
electrical system defects (battery, charging system, etc.), or use of vehicle accessories (air
conditioner, high current lights, high power audio equipment, etc.) could result in less than the
required voltage being delivered to the ventilator, generate a POWER LOST alarm and switch the
ventilator’s power source to the internal battery.
Unauthorized Parts or Accessories – Serious harm to the patient may result from the use of
unauthorized parts or accessories. Only items expressly approved by Pulmonetic Systems may be
used in conjunction with the LTV ® 1200 ventilators.
Unapproved Adapters – Only Pulmonetic Systems Accessories should be used to connect the
ventilator to Patient Assist Call Systems. These accessories incorporate safety features to reduce the
risk of shock. Do not attempt to modify these accessories in any way.
Patient Assist Call Connector – Do not apply more than 25V rms or 32VDC to the Patient Assist
Call connector.
Ventilator Service and Repair - All servicing or repair of the LTV ® 1200 ventilator must be performed
only by a service technician certified by Pulmonetic Systems.
Patient Circuits – Pulmonetic Systems Patient Circuits, Exhalation Valve Assemblies and Water
Traps are shipped clean, not sterile.
Ultra Violet Light Sensitivity – The material used in the tubing of the Reusable Patient Circuits is
not UV stable. Avoid exposure of the tubing to UV light.
Mounting Screws - Refer to the information contained in Pulmonetic Systems Replacement Screws
Kit, P/N 11149, to determine the appropriate accessories mounting screws or accessories
replacement screws location, type and length to use when removing or exchanging external
accessories on an LTV ® ventilator.
Mounting Screw Use – Internal damage to the ventilator may result if the wrong length mounting
screws are used when installing or removing external accessories.
Patient Circuit Accessories - The use of accessories such as Speaking Valves, Heat-Moisture
Exchangers and Filters create additional patient circuit resistance and in the event of a disconnection,
may impede the generation of a Low Pressure alarm. Ensure that the Low Pressure alarm settings
accommodate these types of accessories when used in combination with patient circuits.
Low Minute Volume Control Settings - The Low Min. Vol. control should be set to its highest
clinically appropriate value. If there is a clinical need to set the Low Minute Volume alarm to lower
values or off (“- - -“), perform a clinical assessment to determine if an alternative monitor (i.e. a Pulse
Oxymeter with an audible alarm, or a Cardio Respiratory Monitor) should be used.
The MR Conditional LTV ® 1200 System is specified as - An LTV ® 1200 Ventilator (P/N 18888-
2XX), LTV ® 1200 MR Safe 15ft Patient Circuit (P/N 19189-001), MR Conditional Floor Stand (P/N
14982-001), and a LTV ® AC adapter (P/N 18053-001). Adding not approved parts or accessories may
cause patient and/or operator harm.
