Warnings, Cautions, and Notes
REF 1057983 A Respironics V200 Ventilator Operator’s Manual 2-9
• To disconnect the ventilator from MAINS power, remove the AC
plug from the wall power receptacle. The MAIN switch/circuit
breaker is covered to prevent unintentional ventilator turn off.
• If the operator sets the %O
2
setting to 100%, the 100% O
2
indicator does not light. The 100% O
2
indicator only lights when
the 100% O
2
front panel key has been pressed.
• The ventilator selects its power source based on the following
prioritization: AC power (if present), external battery, then backup
battery.
• The ventilator may automatically reset certain types of alarm
conditions once the causes of the alarms are corrected. After an
automatic reset, the ventilator will clear the audible alarm and will
display a Low Urgency Alarm alert in the Alert Message Insert to
inform the operator that an alarm condition existed. When this
situation occurs, use ALARM RESET to clear the visual alarm
indicator.
• For optimal performance and battery life of a newly purchased
backup battery, establish full backup battery charge by plugging
the ventilator into AC power for eight (8) hours maximum, or until
the charging indicator light turns off, and then unplug the unit.
• To monitor backup battery performance and life, run the ventilator
on battery power for at least 20 minutes at typical settings once a
month. Recharge the battery when the test is complete.
• If the 100% O
2
key is pressed and a 100% O
2
gas source is not
available, the Low O
2
alarm will be active for the two-minute
100% O
2
delivery period.
• Manual breaths are not permitted during the inspiratory phase of a
breath (whether manual or spontaneous). Pressing the MANUAL
BREATH key during these times will not result in the delivery of a
manual breath.
• Some settings buttons appear active despite the fact they are not
being used in the ACTIVE MODE. This is because the setting is
used in Apnea Ventilation or when manual inspiration is pressed.
The operator should always choose a value for an active button
that is appropriate for the patient being ventilated.
• When the active mode is set to NPPV, the HIP Limit Setting will
automatically be adjusted to 10 cmH
2
O above the current IPAP
setting.
• Pt. Leak only appears on Patient Data block on Settings screen.
• The V200 Ventilator keeps a distinct set of alarm limits for each
ventilation breath type (VCV, PCV and NPPV).
• Any of the changes made in the screen shown in Figure 8-18, do
not take effect until the operator switches to the new ventilation
breath type (in this case Pressure Control).
