1. Introduction to the Inspiration Ventilator

This section briefly describes the INSPIRATION Ventilator systems safety information, controls and indicators.

Reference this manual and the INSPIRATION Ventilator System User Manual when performing any maintenance on the
ventilator.
1.1. Intended Use

The Inspiration Ventilator System is designed for use on patient population sizes from Neonatal through Adult
who require respiratory support or mechanical ventilation and weight a minimum of 0.3kg (0.66lb). The
Inspiration Ventilator System is to be used by healthcare professionals in hospitals or healthcare facilities and
intra-hospital transport to provide continuous positive pressure ventilatory support using medical oxygen and
compressed medical air from either an internal air compressor or external air sources to deliver oxygen
concentrations of 21% to 100%. Ventilatory support can be delivered invasively or noninvasively to patients
who requires Assisted/Control Ventilation, Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation or Spontaneous
Ventilation.
INSPIRATION Ventilators include the following features:
User-selected oxygen concentration

Volume or pressure based breaths delivered in controlled, synchronized intermittent mandatory or
spontaneous modes
Flow or pressure breath triggering
Apnea monitoring and ventilation backup system
Numeric or waveform display of user-defined ventilator data
Respiratory mechanics monitoring
Smart Sigh breaths delivered at user-defined frequency and breath amplitude
User-defined Smart Nebulizer functions
EZ-Flow sensor allows proximal flow monitoring
Prioritized alarm system
Spontaneous Positive Airway Pressure (SPAP) and Volume Targeted Ventilation (VTV) modes
Non Invasive Ventilation (NIV) available in all modes
Auto Control
Accommodates the optional integrated Phasein Capnography Module (7i only)
CliniNet Server option allows real-time access to the ventilator for centralized data management
User-configurable graphic user interface (GUI)
Ideal Body Weight (IBW) Calculator
Only qualified and properly trained personnel should attempt to use, service, or maintain the ventilator:
read this manual carefully and keep within reach of the device.

Used the device improperly
Failed to follow the operating instructions.
Disregarded any warnings, cautions or other technical data.
Modified the device in any way.
Operated the device using accessories that are not listed in the associated product
documentation, or do not meet applicable international standards.
1.8. Basic Safety Information and Warnings

The INSPIRATION should only be operated and maintained by personnel with appropriate
technical and clinical training. All patients requiring ventilation must be monitored appropriately
by competent medical personnel.
US Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.

Only medical air and medically pure oxygen should be used for ventilation. Do not use
anesthetics and potentially explosive gases. Ensure that the air and oxygen supplies are
completely oil-free.

To avoid any potential fire hazard, keep all matches, lighted cigarettes, and other sources of
ignition away from the device.
Ensure that an alternate source of ventilation is always available when using the INSPIRATION
Ventilator System.
When the INSPIRATION Ventilator is connected to an external device via the serial port, the
power cord should be in use to ensure proper grounding.
Do not replace any accessories or other parts of the INSPIRATION while a patient is being
ventilated.
Do not use the INSPIRATION Ventilator unless an internal battery with at least a minimal charge is
installed.
If the INSPIRATION Ventilator has been stored for an extended period, recharge the battery
before use.
Maintenance should always be conducted in compliance with all relevant safety regulations.
Check that the remote alarm system (nurse call) is activated before leaving the patient
unattended.
Repairs, assembly, and use must be conducted by trained personnel, and the ventilator must be
checked by trained personnel annually.
A bacteria filter can be placed between the To Patient outlet and the patient breathing circuit to
prevent cross contamination.
A bacteria filter can be placed between the ventilators exhalation cover and the patient
breathing circuit to prevent possible contaminated patient exhaled gas entering the room.
Do not sterilize the INSPIRATION Ventilator System.
Before each use, check the water traps on the gas inputs for any residual water or particles.
If any damage to the ventilator is apparent, its life-supporting function can no longer be
guaranteed. Stop using the ventilator immediately and use an alternate form of ventilation.
Do not operate the ventilator in positioned next to a curtain that could block the flow of cooling
air, thereby causing the equipment to overheat.
Adding attachments or other components or sub-assemblies to the ventilator breathing system
may cause the pressure gradient to increase across the ventilator breathing system, measured
with respect to the patient connection.
To avoid electrical shock while servicing the ventilator, be sure to disconnect the ventilator from
all power sources.
The INSPIRATION Ventilator complies with the requirements of IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC Collateral
Standard), which include E-field immunity and ESD requirements. However, even though the
device is compliant at the levels of immunity specified in the standard, certain transmitting
devices (cellular phones, walkie-talkies, cordless phones, paging transmitters etc.) emit radio
frequencies that could potentially interrupt ventilator operation if located in close proximity to
the ventilator. Practitioners should be aware that radio frequency emissions are additive, and
that the ventilator must be located a sufficient distance from transmitting devices to avoid
interruption.
Do not operate the ventilator in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment.
Consult with your institutions biomedical engineering department in case of interrupted
ventilator operation, and before relocating any life support equipment.
Preventive Maintenance, cleaning and sterilization activities must be conducted in accordance
with the procedures and recommended intervals detailed in of this manual to ensure prolonged
operation of the ventilator.

Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol.
Electromagnetic Compatibility Declaration

Note 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency applies.
Note 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from
structures, objects and people.
(a) The ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz are 6.765 MHz to 6.795 MHz; 13.553
MHz to 13.567 MHz; 26.957 MHz to 27.283 MHz; and 40.66 MHz to 40.70 MHz.
(b) The compliance levels in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range of 80 MHz
to 2.5 GHz are intended to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communication equipment could cause
interference if it is inadvertently brought in to the patient areas. For this reason, an additional factor of 10/3 is used in
calculating the recommended separation distances for transmitters in these ranges.
(c ) Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile
radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To
assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the ventilator is used exceeds the applicable RF
compliance level above, the ventilator should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the ventilator.

(d) Over the frequency range of 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 1V/m.
Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the
Inspiration Ventilator
The ventilator is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The use of the
ventilator can help to prevent electro-magnetic disturbances by maintaining the minimum distance between portable and mobile RF
communications equipment prior (transmitters) and the ventilator as recommended below, according to the maximum output of
power of the communications equipment.

2. Theory of Operation
This section includes an in depth overview of the INSPIRATION Series ventilator system. The pneumatic and
electronic subsystems are described in detail. Also covered is an explanation for how the firmware interfaces with
the subsystems to control ventilator operation.
2.1. Overview of Operation

The INSPIRATION Ventilator System includes two major subsystems which deliver respiratory support at
operator-set parameters:
The Pneumatic System

Controlled by the microprocessor
Supplies conditioned air and oxygen to the patient system
The Electronic System
Applies and supervises the power sources
Provides electronic control of ventilator components
High pressure air and oxygen enter the ventilator from an external source via the high-pressure gas
connectors. Two solenoids control the amount of air and oxygen supplied to the tank. Gas supplied to the
patient exits the tank through a proportional valve, which is servo-controlled using feedback from internal flow
and pressure sensors. An active expiratory valve regulates pressure levels in the patient tubing system during
inspiration and exhalation.
Pressure sensors, flow sensors, and other sensors are used throughout the system to provide feedback
measurements to the microprocessor. After undergoing digital conversion, these measurements control
breath delivery, patient monitoring, and system monitoring.
The operator uses an encoder switch, touch sensitive user interface display, and front panel keys to select
ventilation parameters.
The ventilator can operate using power from AC mains, an external 24 VDC battery, an external 24 VDC power
source, or internal batteries. If AC mains power is unavailable, the ventilator runs on power from the external
battery (if available) or internal batteries.

2.2. Pneumatic System
The Inspiration Ventilators pneumatic subsystem uses an innovative manifold that is designed to eliminate
internal ventilator tubing. A microprocessor-controlled blending system regulates and mixes high-pressure
source gases for delivery to the patient without requiring in-line regulators. Internal and proximal transducers
provide continuous feedback to control breath delivery and monitor patient data.

The gas inlet system (Figure 3) permits the connection of high-pressure air and oxygen sources to the
ventilator via the high-pressure connectors. It filters the gas by removing moisture and particulate
matter (5um), and then it directs the gasses to the blending system. The components, which
comprise the gas inlet system, are described in the following paragraphs.
2.3.1. Inlet Check Valves (CV1 & CV2)

Inlet check valves allow unobstructed high-pressure gas to flow into the ventilator, while preventing gas
flow back to the high-pressure gas supplies. CV1 is located in the O2 supply path and CV2 is located in
the Air supply path.

2.3.3. Water Traps & Inlet Filters
Inlet Filter
Water Trap Bowl
Figure 5: Water Traps & Inlet Filters
High-pressure gas enters the water trap (Figure 5) and is directed into the bowl, where moisture in the gas is
trapped. Oxygen passes through filter F1 and Air through filter F2. These particulate filters are designed to
remove moisture and small amounts of particulates that may be present in medical grade air.
Failure to replace the inlet filters at the required maintenance interval may compromise the operation of
components downstream of the system. If the air or oxygen sources are susceptible to moisture and/or
contaminants, use additional filter/water traps or hydrophobic filters upstream of the ventilator inlets.
The Inlet Filters are not intended to perform the primary cleaning of air & moisture

Figure 7: Blender Flow Measurement
The blending system (Figure 6) uses two solenoid valves and a flow measurement system to blend air and
oxygen. The microprocessor controlled solenoid valves use feedback from the flow measurement system to keep
the tank pressurized with the correct mixture of air and oxygen.
A pressure sensor in the tank (P1) determines when a blending cycle is required. The frequency of the blending
cycles depends on gas usage, which is determined by ventilator settings and other requirements such as purge
flow and oxygen sample flow.
The ventilator maintains tank pressure at an acceptable range according to patient type. A blending cycle begins
when the microprocessor determines that more gas is required in the tank to meet current requirements. Gas
requirements are based on patient settings, base/bias flow for triggering, proximal purge flow, and oxygen
settings.

At each blending cycle, the microprocessor determines the volume of gas required from each of the high-
pressure supply systems to refill the tank with the correct air and oxygen mixture. The microprocessor energizes
the blender valves sequentially during the blending cycle to supply the required gas volumes. When a blender
valve is energized, the microprocessor monitors the flow delivered through the blender flow sensor. When it
determines the correct volume of air or oxygen has been delivered, the corresponding valve is de-energized.
The blending system maintains an accurate air and oxygen mixture regardless of the supply conditions. If supply
pressures and flows fluctuate, the microprocessor adjusts blending valve operation times as needed to maintain
the correct mix of air and oxygen.
Blender Solenoid Valves (SV1, SV2)
The microprocessor energizes blender solenoid valves as needed to ensure the correct mixture of gas is
maintained within the tank. The solenoid valves are mounted on a separate dampened block to reduce the
sound of valve operation. Each solenoid valve connects to two extension tubes that direct gas to and from the
valve
Blender Impact Filters (F3, F4)
The blender impact filters are located between the outlet of each blender solenoid valve and the inlet of its
extension tube (F3 - Oxygen, F4 - Air). The sintered bronze impact filters collect any particulates greater than
approximately 40 m.
Blender Flow Measurement System (FS1, dP1)
The Blender Flow Measurement System (Figure 7) measures gas flow delivered through the blender solenoid
valves (SOL1, SOL2) during each blending cycle. The flow measurement system includes a sintered bronze
resistive element (FS1) positioned in the path of gas flow and a corresponding differential pressure sensor (dP1),
located on the Power board.
Gas flow through the resistive element (FS1) causes a pressure differential which is measured by pressure
transducer (dP1). Because the pressure differential is directly proportional to the amount of gas flow through the
resistive element, this measurement is used to determine the correct gas mixture in the tank
Compressor switchover: If FS1/dP1 measures a flow less than 30 l/min during a normal blending cycle, the
microprocessor senses a loss of the high-pressure air supply and turns on the optional internal backup
compressor, if installed. The microprocessor senses the air supply is restored when FS1/dP1 measures a flow
greater than 36 l/min, and turns off the internal compressor.
Internal Compressor (COMP)

An optional internal compressor (Figure 9) is available for the ventilator. In the event of a loss of the high-
pressure air supply, the ventilator turns on the internal compressor. The dual-piston compressor operates on DC
voltage, allowing operation on internal battery power.

The compressor draws room air into the pneumatic system through a sintered bronze inlet filter located at the
rear of the pneumatic module. Air flows through the upper pneumatic block (Sensor Block 2) and into the
compressor. Compressed air exits the compressor, flows through Sensor Block 2, the compressor-unloading valve
(SOL3.)
Figure 9: Compressor Figure 8: Compressor Unloading Valve (Sol 3)
Air from the internal compressor flows through the compressor unloading solenoid valve (SOL3) and it is directed
to either atmosphere or to the air blender solenoid Sol2. SOL3 (Figure 8) is a three-way solenoid with Normally
Open (N.O.), Normally Closed (N.C.), and Common (COMM) ports. The normally open port vents to atmosphere.
SOL3 remains de-energized during compressor startup, allowing the compressor to start with no load. SOL3 is
then energized to route the compressor output to the tank via the air blender solenoid Sol2. A small bronze
muffler attached to the normally open port of SOL3 silences the sound of venting air.

2.4.1. Tank Assembly (Reservoir)
The tank holds mixed gas, which is available for patient delivery and other incidental requirements such as purge
flow. The tank (Figure 10) consists of several separate interconnected chambers that provide approximately one
liter of compressible volume. The pressure in the tank is maintained within a pressure range specific to the
selected patient type.
Figure 10: Tank Assembly (Reservoir)
2.4.2. Tank Over-Pressure Valve (OPV)

The tank over-pressure valve (OPV) is incorporated
into the upper block of the tank (Figure 11). The OPV is
factory-set to open in the event that internal tank
pressure exceeds 1.8 bar (26 psi).
Figure 11: Tank Overpressure Valve (OPV)
2.4.3. Tank Pressure Transducer (P1)

The tank pressure transducer (P1), located on the Power Board, continuously monitors the internal tank
pressure. The microprocessor uses internal tank pressure to determine when blending cycles are required.

Safety valve (SV)
The gas delivery system (Figure 12) supplies and monitors mixed gas delivery to the patient according to
operator-selected settings. The inspiratory proportional valve (PV1) controls breath delivery parameters and
supplies mixed gas to the patient tubing system.
Inspiratory Valve (PV1)
The microprocessor varies a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal to open and close the proportional inspiratory
valve (PV1) as needed to provide required inspiratory flow. The microprocessor uses feedback from the flow
measurement system (FS2/dP2) to determine flow from PV1. PV1 controls all breath parameters except oxygen
concentration (FiO2).

Internal Flow Measurement System (FS2/dP2)
The internal flow measurement system (FS2/dP2) monitors flow delivered through the inspiratory valve (PV1).
The internal flow measurement system includes a resistive mesh element (FS2) positioned at the outlet of PV1.
Gas flow passing through FS2 causes a pressure differential pressure, measured by pressure transducer dP2 on
the Sensor board. Because differential pressure measured at dP2 is directly proportional to the amount of gas
flow through FS2, the microprocessor uses feedback from FS2/dP2 to regulate PV1 operation for volume and
flow delivery applications.
Internal Pressure Measurement Transducer (P2)
Internal pressure measurement transducer (P2) continuously monitors breath delivery system pressure. The
microprocessor uses this measurement to regulate operation of the inspiratory valve (PV1) and the expiratory
valve (PV2) for pressure delivery applications.
High Pressure Relief Valve (HPRV)
To protect the patient from harm that might result from a continuous high pressure event, a high pressure relief
valve (HPRV) is included in the safety valve block (Figure 13). The HPRV is a mechanical relief valve that
automatically vents venting excess pressure to atmosphere when pressure in the patient system exceeds 120
cmH2O (this is called cracking pressure).
SV
HPRV
Figure 13: Safety Valve Assembly

Safety Valve (SV)
To provide the patient with an open breathing path to ambient air in the event of an emergency, a safety valve
(SV) is included in the safety valve block (Figure 13). The safety valve includes a solenoid valve and sealing disc.
The solenoid valve is energized during normal operation, which extends the plunger that seats the sealing disc
and closes the ambient port).
In the event of a critical error condition (technical fault), the solenoid is de-energized. This condition, called
safety valve open (SVO), retracts the valve plunger from the sealing disc. The sealing disc remains loosely in
position on its sealing surface and acts as an inspiratory check valve. Any inspiratory effort from the patient
displaces the sealing disc and allows and inspiratory flow to be drawn from atmosphere. Patient exhalation
pushes the sealing disc against its sealing surface and closes off the ambient port. During a SVO condition, the
patient can exhale through the open exhalation system
2.6. Proximal Measurement System
Proximal flow measurement (FS3, dP3)

Proximal pressure transducer (P3)
Proximal purge system (R2, R3)
Proximal over-pressure protection (CV3, CV4)
Figure 14: Proximal Measurement System
The proximal measurement system uses a proximal flow sensor and transducers on the Sensor board to measure
patient exhaled tidal volume and proximal airway pressure. The ventilator also uses the proximal flow sensor for
flow triggering.
The proximal flow sensor is optional. If unused, you must configure the ventilator to turn off the flow sensor.
Turning off the proximal flow sensor disables flow triggering and patient monitoring derived from proximal
measurements.
A continuous proximal purge flow (rinse flow) clears the sensing lines of moisture and patient secretions, and
prevents contamination from entering the ventilator. Check valves protect the differential pressure transducer
from over-pressure damage in the event that flow sensor tubes become occluded.
Proximal Flow Measurement (FS3, dP3)
The proximal flow sensor (Figure 14) provides feedback on patient exhaled volumes and flow triggering. The flow
sensor is available in two sizes (adult/pediatric and infant/pediatric) and as single patient use or reusable (sensor
body only.) The proximal flow measurement system includes a flow sensor (FS3) positioned directly in the patient
exhaled gas path, and a corresponding differential pressure sensor (dP3) on the Sensor board.
Gas flow passing through the flow sensor (FS3) causes a pressure drop across the sensor. The two outer tubes of
the flow sensor carry the pressure signals to dP3. The pressure differential measured at dP3 is directly
proportional to the gas flow through the flow sensor. The microprocessor uses this information to calculate and
display values for exhaled tidal volume (Vte), exhaled minute volume (Ve), and exhaled spontaneous minute
volume (Ve Spont). The microprocessor also uses this information to make alarm (volume) decisions and
determine if the patient flow-trigger threshold has been reached.

Proximal Pressure Transducer (P3)
The proximal pressure transducer (P3) on the Sensor board continuously monitors pressure at the patient wye.
P3 tees into the upstream pressure line of the proximal flow sensor. The microprocessor uses this measurement
to calculate and display values for peak pressure (Ppeak), plateau pressure (Pplateau), mean pressure (Pmean),
and end exhalation pressure (PEEP). The microprocessor also uses this measurement to make alarm (pressure)
decisions and determine if the patient pressure trigger threshold has been reached.
Proximal Purge System (R2, R3)
A continuous proximal purge flow (rinse flow) clears the flow sensor lines of moisture and patient secretions, and
prevents contamination from entering the ventilator. Two restrictors/orifices (R2, R3) on Sensor Block 2 provide
a small purge flow (approximately 4ml/min nominal) from the tank through each of the proximal flow sensor
lines. The purge flow restrictors are matched during the manufacturing process to ensure that they do not offset
differential pressure transducer (dP3) measurements.
Proximal Over-Pressure Protection (CV3, CV4)
The proximal measurement system includes two check valves (CV3/CV4) to protect the differential pressure
transducer (dP3) from over-pressure damage to that could result from an occlusion of a proximal flow sensor
line. CV3 and CV4 have a cracking pressure of 100 cmH2O and allow flow in either direction in the event of an
over-pressure condition. If the pressure differential between the proximal pressure lines exceeds 100 cmH2O,
each check valve opens and vents the excess pressure to the opposite proximal line, equalizing the pressure on
both sides of dP3.

2.7. Exhalation System
The exhalation system (Figure 15) seals the patient system during the inspiratory phase of ventilation. During the
expiratory phase the exhalation system opens to allow patient exhalation and the set level of PEEP.
Exhalation System
Expiratory Valve (PV2)
Exhalation Cover and Exhalation Membrane make up the Exhalation Valve (EV)
PV2
Exhalation Membrane
Exhalation Valve Cover
Figure 15: Exhalation System
The exhalation system includes a reusable cover and a membrane that seals the patient system under the control
of the expiratory proportional valve (PV2).
During a volume-targeted inspiration, PV2 is fully energized to apply the maximum closing force on the expiratory
membrane and cover. PV2 remains fully closed throughout all volume-controlled breath deliveries.
During a pressure-targeted inspiration, PV2 is energized to the position that maintains target pressure. PV2
releases any excess pressure within the system based on feedback from the internal pressure transducer P2.
During exhalation, PV2 is proportionally controlled as required to maintain the set PEEP level.
During a critical error condition (technical fault), PV2 is fully de-energized to complement a safety valve open
(SVO) condition. In the de-energized state, any patient inspiratory effort closes the exhalation membrane, and any
expiratory effort opens the exhalation membrane, allowing exhaled gases to vent to atmosphere.
The proximal measurement system uses a proximal flow sensor and transducers on the Sensor board to measure
patient exhaled tidal volume and proximal airway pressure. The ventilator also uses the proximal flow sensor for
flow triggering.
Expiratory Valve (PV2)

The microprocessor controls PV2 by varying the pulse width modulation (PWM) signal. The PWM signal applies
force to the PV2 plunger, which in turn presses the exhalation membrane and cover to seal the patient tubing
system. The microprocessor controls PV2 based on feedback from internal pressure transducer P2.
Exhalation Valve (EV)
The exhalation valve (EV) consists of exhalation membrane and exhalation cover.
The exhalation membrane seals the patient system when the PV2 plunger presses it against the seating surface
of the exhalation cover. The exhalation membrane is reusable and is certified for up to 10 sterilization cycles
with maximum temperature of 134 C (275 F).
The exhalation cover provides a seat for the exhalation membrane. It includes a From Patient port for
connecting expiratory tubing. Exhaust ports around the circumference of the cover minimize expiratory
resistance. The exhalation cover is reusable and is certified for up to 100 sterilization cycles with maximum
temperature of 134 C (275 F).
2.8. Oxygen Monitoring

The oxygen monitoring system (Figure 16) continuously monitors the oxygen percentage being delivered to the
patient in real-time.
Oxygen Sensor Oxygen Sensor Block
Figure 16: Oxygen Monitoring
Restrictor/orifice (R1) provides a small sample flow (0.4 l/min nominal) of blended gas from the tank. The
sample flow is directed through a jet into the galvanic fuel cell oxygen sensor (OS). The sample gas is then
vented to atmosphere.

The output voltage from the OS is proportional to the partial pressure of oxygen in the sampled gas. The
sensor board receives this voltage, and the microprocessor uses this information to display the measured
oxygen % on the monitoring screen. The ventilator activates a preset alarm when the monitored oxygen % falls
outside of the allowed range.
To ensure accurate oxygen monitoring, replace the oxygen sensor every 12 months or as required. The
ventilator User calibration screen provides an automated full-scale oxygen sensor calibration. The ventilator
also performs a single-point calibration whenever the 100% O2 function completes its five-minute time
interval.
2.9. Nebulizer System

The ventilator includes a pneumatic, microprocessor controlled, smart nebulizer system (Figure 17). Because
the inlet source to the nebulizer is the ventilator tank, the monitored oxygen percentage is unaffected during
nebulizer therapy. The microprocessor assesses the amount of gas passing to the nebulizer circuit on a breath-
by-breath basis and adjusts the volume and pressure delivered through the inspiratory valve as needed to
compensate. This allows the ventilator to maintain delivered tidal volumes and pressures within an acceptable
level of accuracy.
Nebulizer (SOL4)
Front Block
Figure 17: Nebulizer System
The nebulizer solenoid valve (SOL4) turns off when inspiratory flow drops below 5 l/min. The internal nebulizer
is not available when the infant patient type is selected. The nebulizer solenoid is a two-way, normally closed
valve. The flow required for nebulization comes from tank gas passing through SOL4. During inspiration in
volume or pressure targeted ventilation, SOL4 is energized, diverting gas through the nebulizer circuit.

2.10. Electronic System
The ventilator can be powered by one of three available electrical power sources; AC mains, the internal battery or
an external DC power source (i.e. external battery or external 12 VDC power supply). During operation, the
microprocessor controls the pneumatic breath delivery system and continuously monitors breath delivery and
ventilator parameters. The operator uses the touch screen interface, the keyboard, and encoder switch to select
ventilator settings.

The power input components of the Inspiration comprise of the ventilator power cord and a medical grade power inlet
receptacle incorporating a line filter (Figure 20). The inlet filter is suitable to accommodate AC line voltages of 100-240VAC

2.12. Power Supply

The power supply (Figure 21) includes a medical-grade high efficiency supply with auto ranging characteristics. It is rated for a
supply voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC at 50 to 60 Hz. The power supply provides a single regulated 24 VDC output routed to
the power board. The power board generates other voltages required for ventilator operation. The power supply incorporates
power fail circuitry which provides an output signal to the power processor in the event of a loss or decrease of AC supply
voltage.
Figure 21: Power Supply

2.13. Internal Batteries
In the event of a loss of AC power, the internal battery (Figure 22) provides temporary backup power. Two 12-VDC sealed
lead-acid battery cells are connected serially at the Power board, which provide a 24 VDC backup supply.
The internal battery is rated at 7.2 amp/hours. With a full charge the internal battery should power ventilator operation, with
high pressure gas supplies and nominal settings in use, for 120 minutes. With the internal compressor in use, battery life is
120 minutes.
Replace the internal battery every 24 months to ensure that reliable battery backup is available. The ventilator charges the
internal battery when it is connected to AC power.

Figure 23: Internal Battery Wiring Diagram
The Internal Battery must be connected per the Internal Battery Wiring Diagram
(Figure 23). This diagram can also be found on the inside of battery compartment
cover.

2.14. External Battery
To supplement the AC mains and the internal battery, the operator has the option of using an external 24VDC battery. An
external DC receptacle is provided on the ventilators rear panel to allow connection of the external battery or external 24VDC
power source (Figure 24).
DC-Input:

The external battery is not charged by the ventilator; therefore an external battery
charger must be used to recharge the external battery after use.

2.15. Power Board
The Power board is mounted vertically in the ventilator pneumatic chassis, and includes:
Power system software storage: The Power board includes a power processor chip with a flash EPROM that stores power
system software. An RS232 connector adjacent to the power processor chip allows software updates.
Power processor reset switch: The reset switch is used during power system software updates and for troubleshooting.
Power source management: The power processor monitors available power sources at all times and controls the
transition between them. AC mains power always takes highest priority and powers the ventilator when available. If AC
mains power is unavailable, the ventilator switches to external 24-VDC power (if available) and then to the internal 24-
VDC battery.
Internal battery charging and monitoring: The Power board charges the internal battery whenever AC mains power is
connected, regardless of whether the ventilator is switched on or not.
Pneumatic control: Power board circuitry controls all the valves in the pneumatic chassis according to signals from the
main microprocessor on the Processor board.
Blender pressure measurements: The Power board includes pressure transducers dP1 (blender flow sensor) and P1 (tank
pressure), which are used to regulate blender operation.
Input/output interfaces: The Power board includes interface circuitry for the RS232 (RJ45 connector), Ethernet (RJ45
connector), and nurse call (RJ12 connector) interfaces.
Main processor supervision: The power processor performs continuous monitoring and diagnostic checks on the main
microprocessor located on the Processor board. If this monitoring detects a problem that might compromise safe
ventilator operation, the power processor annunciates an error and the ventilator enters a safety-valve-open condition.

information, which the microprocessor uses to regulate pneumatic system operation.
Alarm management: Processor board circuitry continuously compares operator-set alarm limits with measurements
from the pneumatic system (via ADC) and elsewhere, to detect violations of alarm limits. If an alarm is detected the
microprocessor commands an alarm message be displayed with the appropriate level of visual and audible indication.
Power processor supervision: The microprocessor performs continuous monitoring and diagnostic checks on the power
processor chip on the Power board. If it determines that safe ventilator operation might be compromised, the
ventilator annunciates an error condition and enters a safety valve open condition.

3. Power On Self Test (POST)
The ventilator performs POST each time the ventilator powers up.
Figure 34: POST Screen
POST performs a complete check of ventilator operation before use. The order of the tests (each test requiring
more hardware than the previous) allows POST to systematically identify any problem components.
POST Test 1: Tests external RAM components

POST Test 2: Tests internal processor RAM
POST Test 3: Tests for correctness of the program code in ROM used in flash memory locations
POST Test 4: Tests the integrity of NVRAM data, ADC initialization, integrity of EPROM memory locations,
etc.
If POST detects an error condition, the ventilator attempts to enter a known state and annunciates appropriate
alarm messages. If a failure occurs during the early part of POST, the ventilator halts the POST screen and sounds
a continuous alarm. If a failure occurs later in POST, the ventilator displays the POST screen with applicable
technical fault (TF) error code in the Self-Test field and sounds a high-priority alarm.
Regardless of when the error is detected, ventilation is not possible until that error is corrected. See section for
definitions and corrective actions for POST error codes.

Figure 36: Calibrations

4.1. Proximal Flow Sensor Calibration
Flow sensor calibration is run by the user in order to define the performance characteristics of the proximal flow sensor prior
to use. The calibration data derived during this procedure is stored in NVRAM and used during normal operation to ensure
accurate proximal measurements.
The manufacturer recommends that flow sensor calibration is performed routinely prior to use; between patients and at all
times following its replacement or sterilization. Failure to perform proximal flow sensor calibration as required may lead to
inaccuracies in exhaled volume measurements (Vte), and problems with flow triggering characterized by insensitivity or auto
triggering.
During the first part of flow sensor calibration the device exercises the inspiratory proportional valve (PV1) to ensure it opens
fully. Once the proportional valve is exercised, the device checks to see the reservoir pressure (P1) remains below 100cmH2O
pressure. Failure at this stage results in an emptying tank error accompanied by an appropriate error number. On successful
completion of this first test the device recharges the reservoir for the next steps.
Next, with zero flow conditions, the device performs a re-zero for all of the transducers which are used for the calibration.
Internal flow sensor (dP2), internal pressure (P2), proximal flow sensor (dP3) and proximal pressure (P3) are zeroed prior to
being used for the calibration.
Next the inspiratory valve (PV1) is opened to deliver a flow of 30 l/min into the patient tubing system and through the
proximal sensor located at the wye. The flow passing through the proximal element (FS3) results in a proportional differential
pressure reading internally at transducer dP3. The microprocessor assesses the reading and the resultant gain to determine
that it is within limits, and which limit it falls within; Adult/Pediatric or Infant/Pediatric. If the values fall within limits the
calibration proceeds to the next stage. If the values fall outside of both ranges or if some other issue is detected the
calibration terminates and displays an appropriate error message.
During the next part of the procedure the device checks the characteristics at a second lower flow value. If the values seen in
the previous step are found to fall within Pediatric /Infant limits a flow of 6 l/min is used for this calibration. If the values seen
in the previous step are found to fall within Adult/Pediatric limits a flow of 10 l/min is used for this calibration.
The inspiratory valve (PV1) is opened to deliver the second lower flow into the patient tubing system and through the
proximal sensor at the wye. The microprocessor assesses the reading at dP3 and associated gain to determine if it is within
limits. In the event that readings are within limits this step and the calibration as a whole passes. In the event that readings
at this stage are outside of limits an error code specific to the stage and the nature of the problem detected is displayed on
screen.
Perform a flow sensor calibration before each patient use and following flow sensor replacement or sterilization. Failure to
perform proximal flow sensor calibration can lead to inaccuracies in exhaled volume measurements (Vte) and flow triggering
problems (insensitivity or auto-triggering).
The Proximal Flow Sensor Calibration requires at least one high-pressure gas source.

Performing a flow sensor calibration defines the
performance characteristics of the proximal flow
sensor before use. The calibration data is stored
in NVRAM and used during normal operation to
ensure accurate proximal measurements.
The flow sensor can be positioned proximally at
the circuit Wye or distally at the expiratory port.
During flow sensor calibration, the flow sensor
position will be defined by the user as (Prox.) if
the flow sensor is positioned proximally at the
circuit Wye or (Exp.) if the flow sensor is
positioned at the expiratory port. Only
Adult/Pedi flow sensors are allowed to be
positioned at the ventilators expiratory port.
To begin the calibration, first connect a complete

Patient Circuit (including a Proximal Flow Sensor)
to the ventilator and select START.
Figure 37: Calibrate Flow Sensor START
Block the breathing circuit Wye and then press

the OK button. Once the OK button is pressed,
the STOP button will be displayed and the flow
sensor calibration will begin.

When instructed, unblock the wye.
When the Calibration is complete, you will see

one of two messages, depending on which
Proximal Flow Sensor you are using:

4.3. System Test
The System Test may be run by the user in order to verify the integrity of the patient tubing system components. Running the system
test allows the operator to quantify any leakage from the patient tubing system prior to clinical patient use.
During the system test the device also quantifies the compliance characteristics of the patient tubing system. The calculated system
compliance (ml/cmH2O) will then be used on a breath by breath basis to compensate for circuit effects and ensure that volume
delivery and measurements are maintained to specification.
The manufacturer recommends the system test is performed routinely between patients and when the patient tubing system or
components thereof are replaced or modified. Failure to perform system test as required may lead to leaks or incorrect compliance
factors influencing breath delivery and monitoring functions.
During the first part of system test the device exercises the inspiratory proportional valve (PV1) to ensure it opens fully. Once the
proportional valve is exercised, the device checks to see the reservoir pressure (P1) remains below 100cmH2O pressure. Failure at this
stage results in an emptying tank error accompanied by an appropriate error number. On successful completion of this first test the
device recharges the reservoir for the next steps.
Next, with zero flow conditions, the device performs a re-zero for all of the transducers which are used for the calibration. Internal
flow sensor (dP2) and internal pressure sensor (P2) are also zeroed prior to being used for the calibration.
On completion of this step the device displays a message in the test progress field prompting the user to block wye. The user should
block the wye with an appropriate stopper then confirm to proceed.
Once the device receives this confirmation PV2 is closed, and PV1 is opened to deliver a flow of 6 l/min into the patient system. As the
system pressure passes 10cmH2O compliance flow detection starts, and the pressure continues to rise to a target of 50cmH2O. Once
this pressure is reached PV1 is closed and PV2 remains closed.
After a short stabilization period (~ 1 second), the device holds the system closed for 4 seconds during which it monitors the pressure
drop at P2. The test passes if the leakage detected is less than or equal to 3cmH2O/second. If the leakage falls outside this range the
test fails and a fault specific error code is displayed.

Prior to starting the System Test,
connect a complete Patient
Circuit to the ventilator. Leave
the wye open. Select START

4.5. Oxygen Sensor Calibration
Oxygen sensor calibration is run by the user in order to define the performance characteristics of the internal oxygen sensor prior to use.
The calibration data derived during this procedure is stored in NVRAM and used during normal operation to ensure accurate
measurement of the patient inspired FiO2 level.
The manufacturer recommends that oxygen sensor calibration is performed routinely between each patient use and following
replacement of the oxygen sensor or Sensor board. Failure to perform oxygen sensor calibration as required may lead to inaccuracies in
the monitored oxygen percentage.
The device performs a two point calibration procedure using 100% oxygen and then 21% oxygen. The inspiratory valve (PV1) is opened
to deliver a flow of approximately 10 l/min into the patient system. As the open PV1 draws gas from the reservoir the blending system
refills it to maintain the required oxygen concentration.
Starting with 100% oxygen the device allows a period of time for the reservoirs oxygen concentration to stabilize and then a further
period to allow the sensor reading to stabilize. On completion the microprocessor compares the reading and associated gain against
limits. If the reading falls outside of limits the calibration stops and a specific error code is displayed. If the reading falls within limits the
process is repeated for 21% oxygen.
The Oxygen Sensor Calibration requires the use of a high pressure oxygen supply as
well as an air supply (either an external high pressure source or the internal
compressor)

Prior to beginning the Oxygen
Sensor Calibration, first ensure
high pressure Oxygen and Air
sources are connected to the
ventilator and the Oxygen Sensor is
properly connected. Then select
START.

Using any of the Fab Tests in an inappropriate way or by untrained personnel may
seriously damage the ventilator.
If using high pressure gases during troubleshooting with Fab Test 1 it should be noted
that internal tank pressure will not be regulated. It is recommended that gases be
regulated at source to approximately 1.5 bar (20 psi) to avoid opening the reservoir
over-pressure valve.

6.1. Fabrication Test 1 FT01 (Outputs)
Fabrication Test 1 - Outputs (Figure 66) allows the service technician to perform troubleshooting procedures and
control a number of the components and circuits within the pneumatic and electronic systems.
Each of the Pneumatic Valves and associated electronic circuits within the system may be energized in order to
confirm correct operation. To perform a test to a given pneumatic valve, use the following procedure:
Select Master and switch to On. Master must be switched on before any other pneumatic components may be
enabled.
With the master enabled,

select the valve or
combination of valves, as
required to meet your
testing goals. Proportional
valves may be cycled
through their full control
range; PV1 0-1000, PV2 0-
1000.
With the required

components switched on
the technician may observe
the device for the response
appropriate to each test to
determine whether its
operation is normal. On
completion each item
should be turned Off.
To check PV1: open SOL1 or

SOL2 to charge the reservoir Figure 66: Fab Test 1 (Outputs)
with gas, cycle PV1 through
its control range; observe flow from the To Patient Port.
To check SOL1 or SOL2; open either SOL1 or SOL2 (whichever required), open SOL 4; observe flow from the
nebulizer port.
By using these controls individually or in combination the devices pneumatic components may be tested for
functionality.

Battery (2 x 12v) - This area of the screen permits the technician to view information pertaining to battery
condition and charging status. The values available in this area are as follows:
Battery Switch Provides an indication of the status of the 2 battery circuits
Capacity Current battery capacity, as a value (mAh) and as a percentage of maximum capacity. The left hand
figure (a) represents current mAh measurement from the internal battery. The right hand figure (b) represents
the maximum capacity available on the battery at last calibration cycle. The middle figure denotes the current
capacity as % (a/b).
Control Indicates whether battery charging is active. On denotes battery being charged. Off denotes no
charging.
Batt status Indicates the battery condition. OK denotes battery OK and available for use or charging.
OFFLINE denotes battery which is damaged, disconnected or in a severely depleted condition.
Battery Disconnection allows the service technician to disconnect the internal batteries for shipment or
storage. This feature is available only if the ventilator is connected to AC Power and the internal batteries are
installed and connected. If the ventilator is running on the internal batteries, or the internal batteries are
disconnected, the feature will be unavailable. Once the battery disconnection has been enabled, the
ventilator will not run on the internal batteries.
If the battery disconnection has been enabled and the ventilator is not turned off, battery functionality can be
turned back on by toggling the Battery Disconnection button to Connected.

If the battery disconnection has been enabled and the ventilator has been turned off, battery functionality will
be re-enabled automatically once the ventilator is connected to AC power.
Battery Force Charge If the Battery Status displays Damaged (combined battery voltage <19V), the ventilator
will not recharge the internal batteries. The Battery Force Charge feature allows the service technician to
manually charge the internal batteries. This should only be attempted if replacement batteries are not
immediately available, as replacement of depleted batteries is always preferable.
To begin the Battery Force Charge, select the Start button. Allow the batteries to charge between 1 and 2
hours. To end the Battery Force Charge, select the Stop button. If the force charge is successful, the internal
batteries voltage (U batteries) will read 24 V.
If the batteries do regain a full charge, the Internal Battery Test must be run to ensure the batteries are
capable of supplying enough power to run the ventilator for a minimum of 2 hours. The Internal Battery Test
can be found at the end of this manual in the Performance Verification Section.
If the batteries do not regain a full charge they must be replaced.
If the Battery Status is Shorted, the Battery Force Charge feature will be unavailable.
Following is a brief table illustrating how different combinations of values from the above parameters may be
used to define the current condition of internal batteries and associated circuitry:

Battery Calibration
The battery calibration function allows the service technician to perform a calibration of the internal batteries.
This calibration procedure updates available capacity figure shown on the farthest right position in the capacity
section of Fab Test 4. The calibration runs automatically but does require operator action at certain points
during the procedure.
To perform the calibration, select Calibrate Batts. With the selection made the device first charges the internal
batteries fully. With the internal batteries charged the device alarms to highlight this fact and to prompt the
operator to disconnect the AC power cord. On confirmation that AC mains is disconnected the device starts
the internal compressor (if available), opens Sol 4, and runs a discharge cycle (note if internal compressor is

not available this stage takes a considerable length of time). As the internal battery reaches the point of being
flat the device alarms once again to highlight this fact and to prompt the operator to reconnect the AC power
cord. Again on confirmation the device recharges the internal batteries fully. On completion the message
Calibration Stopped is displayed and the capacity figure is updated.
Communications - This area of the screen permits the service engineer to view information pertaining to
communications between the main system processor (Mc) and the power interface controller (Pic). The
information available in these areas is as follows:

6.5. Fabrication Test 5 FT05 (Sensor Adj.)
Figure 70: Fab Test 5 (Sensor Adjust)
Fabrication Test 5 Sensor Adjust (Figure 70) allows the service technician to perform a zeroing operation on
all of the devices pressure transducers. Additionally the screen allows a calibration of purge flow offsets.
Running the Cal zero calibration is required upon the replacement of either the Sensor board or the Power
board. In addition to this, it is recommended that these procedures are performed prior to performing any of
the internal calibration procedures in order to eliminate any offsets.
The sensor zero adjustment may be performed at any time troubleshooting suggests it is necessary.
Remove all pressure from the device prior to performing the zero procedure. Ensure all tubing, including
proximal sensor tubing, is removed from the device.
Select Cal Zero. The calibration runs automatically as each sensor is zeroed. The device will report a pass or fail
status. The sensors that will be zeroed are: P1 Tank, dP1 Mixer, P2 Valve, dP2 valve, P3 Proximal, dP3
Proximal, dP3 Prox High Gain and Oxygen Sensor.
Each onscreen box should turn green indicating the corresponding pressure transducer was successfully
zeroed.
The Cal rinse flow allows the device to quantify the amount of offset of dP3 (proximal flow) which may be
caused by the effects of proximal purge flow. The slightest difference between the purge flows passing
through the sensing lines and channels causes an offset on dP3. Reservoir pressure affects the amount of
purge flow which is produced therefore as the reservoir pressure varies, the dP3 offset will also vary. Rinse
flow calibration quantifies the affects at a range of pressures.

Prior to performing a rinse flow calibration it is recommended the Cal zero is performed. Connect high
pressure air with a pressure of at least 2 bar (29 psi) to the ventilator. Remove the proximal flow sensor tubing
from the ventilator. Select Cal rinse flow to commence calibration. The device operates the blending system to
pressurize the reservoir to approximately 1500 mbar. With the reservoir charged the device allows the
pressure to decay naturally through the purge flow and oxygen restrictors. The device checks dP3 offset
between certain ranges of reservoir pressure down through to zero. Values are stored in NVRAM and an
average result is displayed.
6.6. Fabrication Test 6 FT06 (Adj. Values)

Fabrication Test 6 - Sensor Adjust (Figure 71) allows the service technician to review gain and offset data for
all of the devices internal transducers. This information is for reference use only and not typically used in the
field.

6.7. Fabrication Test 7 FT07 (Flow Adjust)
Figure 72: Fab Test 7 (Flow Sensor Adjust)
Fabrication Test 7 Flow Sensor Adjust (Figure 72) allows the service technician to perform a detailed
calibration of the devices two internal flow measurement devices, FS1/dP1 blender flow sensor and FS2/dP2
internal flow sensor.
The flow sensor calibration procedure may be required upon the replacement of the Blender Module, blender
flow sensor (FS1/dP1), Front Interface Block, internal flow sensor (FS2/dP2), Sensor Board, Sensor Block 2, or
the Motherboard. In addition the flow sensor calibration procedure may be performed at any time as
troubleshooting suggests that it is necessary.
To perform this operation a calibrated flow analyzer is required. eVent Medical recommends the use of the
TSI Certifier Plus flow analyzer or equivalent measurement device. Please ensure that any instrument used
carries a valid calibration certificate. Test devices should be configured to measure Flow Air with ATP
(atmospheric temperature & pressure) correction. The test equipment set up is demonstrated in Figure below.
To perform the calibration, do the following:
Connect a regulated high-pressure gas source to the Air DISS fitting located on the back of the ventilator. To
begin, regulate the pressure to 0 bar.
Connect the high flow port of the Gas Analyzer to the To Patient Connector.
Turn the Pneumatics switch On. This will open the blender valves.
The PV1 (Insp) should be set to 500.
Slowly increase the regulated high pressure gas source until a flow of 5 lpm 0.05 lpm is observed on the Gas
Analyzer display.
Note: At this stage, an onscreen message will instruct you to wait 5 minutes in order to allow the unit to warm
up.
After 5 minutes readjust the regulator until a flow of 5 lpm 0.05 lpm is again observed on the Gas Analyzer
display.

Once a steady flow of 5 lpm is achieved select the Gain Adjust Set Point for 5 lpm. The device will then
perform a self-calibration. When completed successfully, the message GainOk, saved; Adjust at 16 lpm will be
displayed.

inspiratory proportional valve (PV1).
The PV1 Calibration may be required upon replacement of the inspiratory valve, Power Board, or the
Motherboard. In addition the proportional valve calibration procedure may be performed at any time as
troubleshooting suggests that it is necessary.
To perform this calibration, do the following:
Turn the Pneumatics switch On. This will open the blender valves.
Slowly increase the regulated supply pressure until the onscreen P1 Tank monitor reads 300 mbar 10 mbar.
Once a steady pressure of 300 mbar is achieved select the Pressure Adjust Set Point for 300 mbar. The
onscreen status will then display the message: Heating up; Wait for 200s.
After 200 seconds have passed, the status will display the message: Ready for 800 mbar.
Once a steady pressure of 800 mbar is achieved select the Pressure Adjust Set Point for 800 mbar. After a
few moments the status will display the message: Ready for 1300 mbar.

Once a steady pressure of 1300 mbar is achieved select the Pressure Adjust Set Point for 1300 mbar. After a
few moments, the onscreen status should display the message: Calibrated.
Once the calibration is complete, reduce the regulated high-pressure air source to 0.

10.2. Cleaning and Inspection
To prevent transmission of disease, use protective equipment when handling

contaminated filters, HMEs or other patient accessories.
To prevent damage to ESD-sensitive components, always follow ESD guidelines when
servicing and handling components inside the ventilator.
Before starting the performance verification correct any problems found during the
preliminary inspection Failure to correct such problems can affect testing accuracy.
Clean and inspect the ventilator as follows:

Clean the ventilator exterior using appropriate germicidal or antibacterial agent. Clean all exterior
surfaces including gas connections, water traps and the mains cord.
Remove and inspect the ventilator fan inlet filter, and clean or replace as necessary.
Verify that air and oxygen fittings and water traps are securely attached to the ventilator.
Inspect inlet filters for excessive discoloration and replace as necessary.
Open the ventilator chassis and clean interior as necessary.
Visually inspect the ventilator interior and exterior for any obvious problems such as missing or broken
parts, loose assemblies, or disconnected wires, connectors or tubes. Repair as necessary before
performance verification testing.
10.3. Performance Testing Guidelines

Examine all test equipment before testing. Verify that equipment works correctly and that any
applicable calibration certification is up to date.
The ventilator is manufactured in a controlled environment with accurate pneumatic

and electronic test equipment. Performance verification test requirements have been
established with specified test equipment.

Pneumatic testing: Allow the ventilator and pneumatic analyzer to run for at least 15 minutes. Perform
any self-calibrations (zero calibration, oxygen sensor calibration, etc.) only after the 15-minute warm-up
is complete. Set the pneumatic analyzer to ATP correction, gas type air/oxygen, and
inspiratory/expiratory trigger levels to 1 l/min.
To ensure systematic performance verification and logical fault diagnosis, perform tests in the order
given. If repeating a test, use the control settings defined at the beginning of that test.
Use the troubleshooting information in this section to determine the cause of any test failure.
If a problem occurs during performance verification, verify that you have followed all steps correctly and
that all required settings are correct before attempting any repairs.
Interrelationships between some settings can affect the order in which settings can be selected.
Alarms: Set any user-configurable alarms to the widest ranges possible to reduce the occurrence of
nuisance alarms during testing. Use the Alarm silence key as required during testing. Except for the
Alarm silence key, do not change settings during testing unless specifically instructed to do so.

10.4. Electrical Safety Test
Electrical safety testing verifies that ground resistance and earth leakage current are within safe limits. Set up the
ventilator and electrical safety tester as shown (Figure 76).
Figure 78: Electrical Safety Test Setup
Follow these steps:
With the ventilator switched off, plug the ventilator mains cable into the electrical safety tester AC
receptacle.
Clip the ground test probe (electrical safety tester) to the retaining screw on the mains cable clamp
(ventilator back panel) or, if available, to the ground stud.
Use the electrical safety tester to measure ground resistance. Ground resistance must be < 0.2 .
Switch the ventilator on and allow it to successfully complete POST.
Use the electrical safety tester to measure leakage current in forward and reverse polarities. Earth leakage
current must be < 300 A for forward and reverse polarities.
Switch the ventilator off and disconnect the electrical safety tester.
10.5. Internal Battery Test

Prior to testing, ensure the internal batteries are fully charged. A minimum charge time of 8 hours is
recommended.
Connect the ventilator to AC power.

13. Communication Interface

For convenience the following section provides a detailed description of how to configure the Inspiration Ventilators nurse
call and serial communication ports.
For the serial communication interface, a full listing is provided for all relevant commands and SNDA responses.
13.1. Nurse Call Port Configuration

The nurse call port allows the Inspiration series ventilator to be connected to a remote alarm system. Nurse
call pin assignments (floating contacts) are shown in Figure 79 below.
Figure 81: Nurse Call Port Configuration
13.2. Serial (RS-232) Port Configuration

Pin assignments for the Serial (RS-232) Port of the Inspiration series ventilator are as shown on Figure 80 below
Figure 82: RS-232 Port Configuration
13.3. Serial (RS-232) Port Setup

Serial port parameters for the Inspiration series ventilator are pre-configured and may not be adjusted by the user. The
settings in use are as follows:
Baud Rate: 9600
Data Bits: 8

Stop Bits: 1
Parity: OFF
Flow Control: OFF
13.4. Serial (RS-232) Protocol

This protocol is specifically designed for the Inspiration ventilator family and allows complete monitoring of all settings
and measurements. For specific information about this protocol please refer to RS232 eVent Inspiration Protocol V1.1.
13.5. Serial (RS-232) Port Commands

The communications port responds to these commands facilitating communication to and from the ventilator using the
serial ports:
RSET: clears the data from the ventilators receive buffer
SNDA: tells the ventilator to send ventilator settings and monitored data to the host system
13.6. RSET (Clear Ventilator Buffer)

Enter the RSET command exactly like this:
RSET <CR>
Where <CR> is a carriage return. The ventilator only responds if it receives a carriage return. When the ventilator receives
the RSET command, it clears its receive buffer. The ventilator does not send a response to the host system.
13.7. SNDA (Send Ventilator Settings and Data)

Service Enter the SNDA command exactly like this:
SNDA<CR>
Where <CR> is a carriage return. The ventilator responds only if it receives a carriage return. When the ventilator receives
the SNDA command, it responds with a code MISCA, followed by the ventilator settings and monitored data information.
The MISCA response follows the format shown in Figure 81 below:

Figure 83: MISCA Responses
The MISCA command response is designed to be compatible with the MISCA

command response from Puritan-Bennett Ventilators, including the 7200, 700 series
and 800 series. In the fields where the command response differs from that of the
Puritan-Bennett ventilators, the difference is noted in the field description.
