Circuits, Accessories, and Monitoring
The EO-150 can be used with five different configurations:
- Single Limb with valve
- Single Limb with valve + proximal flow
- Double Limb (with adapter)
- Single limb with Leak
- Single limb with Mouthpiece
Breathing circuits can have diameters of 10 (valve circuits), 15, or 22 mm and they are nor EOVE exclusive
Yes, a circuit calibration is mandatory with every change in circuit configuration to ensure accurate performance. The ventilated mask can be included in the circuit unlocking step, particularly for neonatal patients.
A range of accessories is compatible with the EO-150, including the FIO2 Cable, SPO2 Cable, Nomad Bag, Travel Bag, Remote Alarm Cable, Battery Pack (EO-BAT9), Y cable, Trolley, and Upright Brackets. Only accessories recommended by EOVE should be used.
Supplemental oxygen must be added through the ventilator's oxygen inlet at the back of the device. Use only medical-grade oxygen. The oxygen supply must be turned on only after ventilation has started and turned off when ventilation stops to prevent oxygen accumulation, which can be a fire risk. It is recommended to monitor supplemental oxygen using the optional FiO2 cell.
To monitor the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2), you'll need an optional FiO2 kit cable (O2CELCBL), an FiO2 cell (ENVITEC OOM102-1 or equivalent), and a T-cell adapter (ENVITEC 46-006005 or equivalent).
- Plug the FiO2 cable into the dedicated FiO2 port on the device.
- Plug the FiO2 sensor into the other end of the cable.
- Attach the T-adapter to the inspiratory patient port. The cell must be positioned vertically to get the most reliable measurement.
- Plug the FiO2 sensor into the T-adapter.
- Finally, to get FiO2 monitoring, activate the sensor in the CONFIG menu. The sensor must be calibrated in ambient air (21% oxygen) before use and without any supplemental oxygen.
To monitor transcutaneous carbon dioxide (tcCO2), you can use an optional Sentec PCO2 monitor. You will need a Sentec PCO2 monitor, an RS232/USB converter cable, and a compatible SENTEC tcCO2 sensor.
- Turn on both the Sentec monitor and the EO-150 ventilator.
- Connect the RS232/USB converter to the USB_1 port on the EO-150.
- Verify that the Sentec device status shows as "CONNECTED" in the device's menu under the Information tab.
- Calibrate the PtCO2 sensor and place it on the patient according to the Sentec instructions.
- The measurement will appear on the EO-150's display once the Sentec monitor validates it.
