REF 1057983 A Respironics V200 Ventilator Operator’s Manual 8-1
Chapter 8. Operating Instructions
Overview
There are three ventilation breath types:
• Volume Control Ventilation (VCV)
• Pressure Control Ventilation (PCV)
• Non-Invasive Ventilation (NPPV)
Each has mandatory or machine controlled breaths and each has patient
controlled or spontaneous breaths.
Each ventilation breath type has its own settings that are mutually exclusive
from the other ventilation modes.

• In VCV, you can select either A/C, SIMV, or CPAP mode.
• In PCV, you can select either A/C, SIMV, or CPAP mode.
• In NPPV, you can select Spont/T or Spont mode.
Alarms are specific to the ventilation breath type. Alarm limits in one
ventilation breath type are mutually exclusive from the alarm limits of the
other ventilation breath types.
The ventilator is easy to use because all mode settings and alarm limits are
selected using the same three-step process:
1. Select the parameter to be changed by pressing the associated button.
The screen shown in Figure 8-1 appears.
WARNING: Ensure that an alternative means of ventilation (that is, a resuscitator or
similar device) is available while the ventilator is in use on a patient.
WARNING: The ventilator complies with the requirements of IEC 601-1-2 (EMC
collateral standard), including the E-field susceptibility requirements at a
level of 10 volts per meter. However, even at this level of immunity, certain
transmitting devices (cellular phones, walkie-talkies, etc.) emit radio
frequencies that could disrupt ventilator operation if operated in a range too
close to the ventilator.
WARNING: DO NOT operate the ventilator in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
environment.
