Chapter 1 General Information
Indications for Use Ventilation The ZOLL ventilator is indicated for use in the management of infant through adult patients weighing ≥ 5 kg with acute or chronic respiratory failure or during resuscitation by providing continuous positive-pressure ventilation. ZOLL ventilators are appropriate for use in hospitals, outside the hospital, during transport and in severe environments where they may be exposed to rain, dust, rough handling, and extremes in temperature and humidity. With an appropriate third-party filter in place, they may be operated in environments where chemical and/or biological toxins are present. When marked with an “MRI conditional” label, the ZOLL ventilators are suitable for use in an MRI environment with appropriate precautions. ZOLL ventilators are intended for use by skilled care providers with knowledge of mechanical ventilation, emergency medical services (EMS) personnel with a basic knowledge of mechanical ventilation, and by first responders under the direction of skilled medical care providers.
Pulse Oximetry (SpO2) The ventilator pulse oximeter with Masimo SET technology is intended for use for continuous noninvasive monitoring of the oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2), and pulse rate. The pulse SpO2 oximeter and accessories are indicated for use with adult and pediatric patients during both no motion and motion conditions, and for patients who are well or poorly perfused, in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, or in mobile environments.
Features • Portable ventilator that you can use in the hospital, aeromedical and ground transport, mass
casualty situations, and extreme environments. • Multiple modes of ventilation for use with acute or chronic respiratory failure in both
intubated and non-intubated patients. • Intuitive user interface minimizes user training and protects existing settings from
inadvertent contact and manipulation. • Smart Help™ messages guide the user through on-screen commands when responding to • • • • • • • •
alarms. Lightweight < 4.4 kg - for easy transport. Rechargeable battery provides over 10 hours of operation (at factory default with pulse oximeter operating). Operating temperature range for extreme conditions: -26 to 55 °C. Altitude compensation from 110 to 37.6 kPa (-2,250 to 25,000 ft). Self-contained system able to operate with or without external oxygen. Gas manifold design allows operation with both high and low-pressure oxygen sources. All oxygen is delivered to the patient breathing circuit. Sealed gas path with chemical/biological filter connected to assure safe breathing gas supply. Case and control panel protects components from weather and fluids.

Chapter 1 General Information
Warnings General • ZOLL ventilators are intended for use by qualified personnel only. You should read this • • • •
manual before using the device. Before using a ZOLL ventilator on a patient, you must test the device in its normal configuration to ensure proper operation. Do not modify this equipment without authorization of the manufacturer. This operator’s guide is not meant to supersede any controlling operating procedure regarding the safe use of assisted ventilation. Follow all governing regulations regarding the disposal of any part of this medical device, the handling of materials contaminated by body fluids, and shipment of the Li-ION batteries.
Ventilator • ZOLL ventilators can operate from its internal battery or from an external power source.
When using external power, position the power cord to avoid accidental disconnect. • The use of accessories and cables other than those sold by ZOLL may result in increased •
•

emissions or decreased immunity of this device. Portable and mobile RF communication equipment may affect the performance of this device. We describe the EMC performance for this device in Appendix A Specifications of this guide. ZOLL ventilators may cause radio interference or may disrupt the operation of nearby equipment. It may be necessary to take mitigation measures, such as re-orienting or relocating of the device or shielding the location. Do not connect to an electrical outlet controlled by a wall switch or dimmer. The protection against defibrillator depends on the use of accessories (including Pulse Oximeter) that are specified by ZOLL. Grounding: • Do not under any circumstances remove the grounding conductor from the power plug. • Do not use extension cords or adapters of any type. The power cord and plug must be intact and undamaged. • If there is any doubt about the integrity of the protective earth conductor or power supply, operate on internal battery power. As with all medical equipment, carefully route the patient circuit, patient cabling, and external power cords to reduce the possibility of patient entanglement or strangulation. The product design includes materials with phthalates in the pressure lines of both the manifold design and patient circuit. Patient mask accessories used with the device also are made with materials containing phthalates. Phthalates are NOT present in the inspiratory line (blue hose/tube) of the patient circuit.

Chapter 1 General Information • Do not use in MRI environment unless MRI marking is present. • Do not operate the ventilator on a patient when the USB port is connected to any other
device (the USB port is only for servicing the ventilator). • The ZOLL-supplied patient circuit’s labeling provides the resistance and compliance values
for the circuits under normal operating conditions. If added accessories are used (e.g. HME, filters etc.), you should assure they do not degrade the performance of the device.
Pulse Oximeter • Do not use the pulse oximeter as an apnea monitor. • A pulse oximeter should be considered an early warning device. As a trend towards patient
•
•
• •
deoxygenation is indicated, blood samples should be analyzed by a laboratory co-oximeter to completely understand the patient’s condition. Measurements: if the accuracy of any measurement does not seem reasonable, first check the patient’s vital signs by alternate means and then check the pulse oximeter for proper functioning. Inaccurate measurements may be caused by: • Incorrect sensor application or use. • Significant levels of dysfunctional hemoglobin (e.g. carboxyhemoglobin or methemoglobin). • Intra-vascular dyes such as indocyanine green or methylene blue. • Exposure to excessive illumination, such as surgical lamps (especially ones with a xenon light source), bilirubin lamps, fluorescent lights, infrared heating lamps, or direct sunlight (exposure to excessive illumination can be corrected by covering the sensor with a dark or opaque material). • Excessive patient movement. • Venous pulsations. • Placement of a sensor on an extremity with a blood pressure cuff, arterial catheter, or intravascular line. • The pulse oximeter is defibrillator-proof. The pulse oximeter can be used during defibrillation, but the readings may be inaccurate for a short time. Interfering Substances: carboxyhemoglobin may erroneously increase readings. The level of increase is approximately equal to the amount of carboxyhemoglobin present. Dyes, or any substance containing dyes, that change usual arterial pigmentation may cause erroneous readings. Alarms: Check alarm limits each time the pulse oximeter is used to ensure that they are appropriate for the patient being monitored. Loss of pulse signal can occur in any of the following situations: • The sensor is too tight. • Excessive illumination from light sources such as a surgical lamp, a bilirubin lamp, or sunlight. • A blood pressure cuff is inflated on the same extremity as the one with an SpO2 sensor attached. • The patient has hypotension, severe vascoconstriction, severe anemia, or hypothermia. • Arterial occlusion proximal to the sensor. • The patient is in cardiac arrest or is in shock.
