OPRHT50NA B0908
SECTION 1 OPERATOR’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR PATIENT SAFETY The Operating manual (p/n OPRHT50-NA) contains information intended to ensure safe and effective ventilator use. The label on the inside of the front cover door is meant to complement not replace the Operating manual. The design of the HT50 ventilator, the Operating and Service manuals, and the labeling on the ventilator take into consideration that the purchase and use of the equipment is restricted to trained professionals, and that certain inherent characteristics of the ventilator are known to the operator. Instructions, warnings and caution statements are therefore limited to the specifics of the Newport HT50. Caution Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. This manual excludes references to various hazards which are obvious to medical professionals and operators of this equipment, to the consequences of product misuse, and to potentially adverse effects in patients with abnormal conditions. When the HT50 is used in home care and sub acute environments it is important that the primary caregiver has received training and has demonstrated competency in all equipment functions. A specific written care plan must be established by the attending physician. Transport of patients with the HT50 requires that medical staff have a good working knowledge of the ventilator’s use and problem resolution. Proper emergency back-up equipment must be immediately available during transport. HT50 operators must recognize their responsibility for implementing safety monitoring mechanisms which supply appropriate information on equipment performance and patient condition. Patient safety may be achieved through a wide variety of means such as electronic surveillance of equipment performance and patient condition. However, equipment surveillance should not replace direct observation of clinical signs. The HT50 operator is solely responsible for selecting the appropriate level and method of patient monitoring. Product modification or misuse can be dangerous. Newport Medical Instruments, Inc. (NEWPORT) disclaims all liability for the consequences of product alterations or modifications, as well as for the consequences which might result from the combination of this ventilator with other products, whether supplied by Newport or by other manufacturers, unless such a combination has been specifically endorsed by Newport.

Please review all WARNINGS and Cautions outlined in this manual prior to using the HT50 for the first time.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS At all times, strictly follow this Manual. The safe use of the HT50 Ventilator requires a full understanding of its operation and adherence to the manual’s instructions. The equipment is only to be used for the purpose specified under “Intended Use” (see OPRHT50NA B0908
1-3
OPERATOR’S RESPONSIBILITY Section 2). Observe all of the WARNINGS and Cautions posted in this manual and on labels found on the HT50 Ventilator and associated accessories.
General Warnings External power connection: To maintain grounding integrity when using A.C. power, only connect to hospital grade receptacles. Always disconnect the external power supply prior to servicing. Always use the A.C. power cord supplied with the HT50. Make certain the power cord ferrite is always attached to the A.C. power cord to ensure that the HT50 meets EMC requirements. There is a risk of explosion if used in the presence of flammable anesthetics. All settings and adjustments in the different ventilation modes must be made in accordance with a physician’s prescribed therapy. NEWPORT cannot warrant or endorse the safe performance of third party humidifiers for use with the HT50. When the HT50 is operating on battery power, the optional built-in humidifier does not function. A heat moisture exchanger, or other humidification device, should be used until the unit is connected to A.C. power at which time the built-in humidifier can be used. Do not use electrically conductive patient circuits. Always use a clean patient circuit. Always use an inline filter (p/n HT6004701 or equivalent) at the Airway Pressure Connector to protect the internal transducers from moisture or other contaminants. Always use appropriate monitors to ensure sufficient oxygenation and ventilation (such as pulse oximeter and/or capnograph) when the HT50 Ventilator is in use on a patient. The ventilator is ready for operation only when: a) It is completely assembled, and; b) The Quick Check Procedure, including the Exhalation Valve Calibration (see Appendix A, Operating Manual) or OVP (Service Manual) has been successfully completed. Constant attention by qualified medical personnel is recommended whenever a patient is ventilated with the HT50. When the HT50 is used in homecare environments, proper education and training of the appointed caregiver must be provided prior to the patient leaving the health care facility. If a fault is detected in the ventilator and its life functions are in doubt, immediately discontinue use; use an alternative 1-4
OPRHT50NA B0908
SECTION 1 method of ventilation until the fault has been corrected. NEWPORT Technical Service Department immediately. Failure to identify and correct alarm violations may result in patient injury. Continuous oxygen monitoring is required for patient safety. The HT50 does not have a built-in alarm system to notify of a failure or disconnection of the oxygen source. Ensure that the oxygen source is not empty before and during the use of the optional Air/Oxygen Entrainment Mixer or Oxygen Blending Bag Kit. The primary internal battery should be replaced every 12 months or sooner if the use time no longer meets the needs of the . This will depend on a number of factors including settings and usage patterns. The secondary internal battery should be replaced every 24 months. Please recognize that any life equipment should have appropriate alternate power sources and means of ventilation readily available in case of a mechanical or system problem. If you need alternative power sources, Newport Medical Instruments Inc. When the HT50 is used for transport applications, ensure that the internal battery system is fully charged prior to use. When the Battery Empty audible alarm sounds continuously, only a limited time of internal battery power remains and an alternate power source should be found immediately. Frequent deep discharge of the internal battery system will decrease the amount of time the HT50 will operate on battery power from a full charge state. If you use the internal battery system as your primary power source, replace the primary battery as needed to ensure that the battery operation time is sufficient. Charge the internal battery system for a minimum of 8 hours before powering the ventilator from the internal batteries. This will provide approximately 80% of the battery charge. If the battery system is completely depleted, it will take approximately 10 hours to fully recharge. Always ensure that the green Ext. Power LED lights after connecting the HT50 to an external AC or DC power source (it can take up to two minutes to light). If the LED does not light, check all power connections and resolve any problems. Always plug the HT50 into an external power supply source when OPRHT50NA B0908

SECTION 3 FRONT CONTROLS & INDICATORS Front controls that have corresponding LED indicators are included with the description of the control. The HT50 front is shown in Figure 3-1 on pg 3-3.
On / Standby This button toggles between the following conditions: Standby (if attached to external power, the battery is being charged) Setting (allows setting of control parameters) On (enables ventilation) Standby Standby: The HT50 is dormant and ventilation is not enabled. If attached to external power, the Ext. Power/ Charging Int. Battery LED is lit green, indicating that the internal battery is being charged. The On/Standby indicator is not lit. Setting: Pressing the On/Standby button once changes the ventilator from Standby to Setting condition. NOTE: There is approximately a two second delay in going from Standby to Setting condition. During this time, the HT50 performs a self test and will light all displays on the front . During Setting condition, all adjustable LEDs are lit. This allows the operator to preset and adjust controls prior to ventilation. The On/Standby indicator is not lit. The Message Display Window shows “Press ON to Vent,” suggesting that the On/Standby button needs to be pressed if you want the HT50 to start ventilation. On: Pressing the On/Standby button once more changes the ventilator from Setting to On. In the On condition, the HT50 is ventilating and the On/Standby indicator is lit green. Pressing the On/Standby button twice while in On condition turns the ventilator from On to Standby.
MODE Control The MODE control buttons enable the to switch between the following operational modes: • A/CMV • SIMV • SPONT In A/CMV and SIMV, mandatory breaths can be pressure controlled or volume controlled. A green LED indicates which operational mode is active.

DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS, INDICATORS, ALARMS & CONNECTIONS If the HT50 is in Setting condition, changes are made by pressing the requested MODE button once. If in ON condition, changes are made by pressing the requested MODE button twice. After the first press, the Message Display Window reads “PRESS AGAIN” and the requested MODE’s indicator starts to blink. If the requested MODE button is not pressed within 5 seconds, the change is cancelled.
A/CMV (Assist / Control Mandatory Ventilation) In A/CMV, the may choose to pressure or volume control mandatory breaths. In either case, all breaths delivered to the patient, whether time (ventilator initiated) or patient-triggered, are the same. The ƒ (frequency) setting determines the minimum number of time-triggered mandatory breaths delivered each minute. The P trig setting determines the airway pressure threshold that patient effort must reach to trigger additional mandatory breaths. If patient effort doesn’t cause airway pressure to drop enough to meet the Ptrig threshold, or if the patient doesn’t breathe, the HT50 will deliver the set ƒ (frequency) of mandatory breaths. NOTE: If the Ptrig setting is not adjusted to a level that allows the patient’s inspiratory effort to be detected, A/CMV mode performs as CMV (control) mode.
SIMV (Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation) In SIMV, the may choose to pressure or volume control mandatory breaths. In either case, all mandatory breaths delivered to the patient, whether time (ventilator initiated) or patient-triggered, are the same. In addition, the may choose to pressure the spontaneous breaths in between mandatory breaths. Unlike A/CMV, the ƒ (frequency) setting in this mode determines the total rather than the minimum number of time (ventilator) or patient triggered mandatory breaths delivered each minute. The ƒ (frequency) setting also establishes a timing window which determines whether a patient trigger results in a mandatory breath or a spontaneous breath. The P trig setting determines the airway pressure threshold that patient effort must reach to trigger mandatory breaths and also to trigger spontaneous breaths in between mandatory breaths. If patient effort doesn’t cause airway pressure to drop enough to meet the P trig threshold or if the patient doesn’t breathe, the HT50 will deliver the set ƒ (frequency) of mandatory breaths each minute. 3-6
OPRHT50NA B0908
SECTION 3 SPONT (Spontaneous Ventilation) In this mode, all breaths are patient triggered by spontaneous efforts. P (Pressure Ventilation) may be used to spontaneous efforts. When PEEP/AP is set above 0, the ventilator mode is AP (without P) or Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (with P). ▲ Up and ▼ Down Control The ▲Up/▼Down control buttons have multiple uses on the HT50. 1. Parameter Adjustment: Use the ▲Up/▼Down buttons to adjust ventilation control parameter values (including Pressure Control and Volume Control values), alarms, and humidifier setting (if available). Select the desired parameter by pressing its touch button once. The corresponding value (numerical display) will blink. Press the ▲Up control to increase or the ▼Down to decrease the affected parameter value. The value continuously changes when the ▲Up/▼Down controls are pressed and held. The value adjustment is accepted if (1) the presses the selected parameter button again, or (2) the selects a different parameter, or (3) five seconds elapses. Pressing a parameter button without pressing either the ▲Up or ▼Down control button within 5 seconds causes the parameter to retain its current value. NOTE: If in the On condition and switching between Volume Control and Pressure Control, the value adjustment for the new breath type selected (Volume or Pressure) will be accepted as noted above, but the breath type (VC or PC) will only change if the presses the new breath type control button again. 2. Monitored Information: The ▲Up/▼Down controls are used to access and display monitoring messages in the Message Display Window. Monitored information includes volume, frequency, pressure values and operation information. See pg 323 for more information on the Message Display Window. When the HT50 is ventilating, and there are no alarm messages displayed on the Message Display Window, press the ▲Up control button to access the monitoring information. Pressing the ▲Up button again allows you to scroll through the messages. 3. Changing Default Settings: The ▲Up/▼Down controls are also used in Set Up to change a set up value. See Set Up on pg 3-27 for more details.

DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS, INDICATORS, ALARMS & CONNECTIONS ƒ (frequency) Range: 1 to 99 b/min The ƒ (frequency) setting determines the minimum number of time triggered mandatory breaths in the A/CMV mode and the total number of mandatory breaths in the SIMV mode. The frequency or rate value is displayed in the window adjacent to the selector button. The is alerted to frequency settings which result in an inverse I:E Ratio by an audible beep and an “Inverse I:E” message in the Message Display Window. Attempts to continue increasing the value after this alert are permitted up to an I:E Ratio of 3:1. NOTE: In SPONT mode, the ƒ setting is not utilized but the value can be preset.
tI (inspiratory time) Range: 0.1 to 3.0 sec The tI setting determines the inspiratory time for mandatory breaths (volume or pressure control). The selected time value is displayed in the window adjacent to the selector button. The is alerted to tI settings which result in an inverse I:E Ratio by an audible beep and an “Inverse I:E” message in the Message Display Window. Attempts to continue increasing the value after this alert are permitted up to an I:E Ratio of 3:1. If the inspiratory time setting causes the flow rate to reach the maximum or minimum level of the flow specification, adjustment of tI ceases, a beep sounds, and a setting limitation message appears in the Message Display Window. NOTE: In SPONT mode, the tI setting is not utilized but the value can be preset. NOTE: See pg. 3-24 for a list of setting limitation messages.
Volume Control (tidal volume) Range: 100 to 2,200 mL, ATPS NOTE: When Volume Control is first initiated, or when a large change is made to the volume setting, it may take 5 or 6 breaths to reach the volume setting. Pressing this control button, followed by pressing the ▲Up/▼Down controls, allows the adjustment of the tidal volume setting. When the green Volume Control LED illuminates, the adjacent window displays the set tidal volume. See Theory of Operation, pg 4-5 for more details. 3-8

DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS, INDICATORS, ALARMS & CONNECTIONS NOTE: The minimum target airway pressure is 5 cmH2O / mbar above set baseline pressure.
P trig (sensitivity) Range: 0.0 to –9.9 cmH2O/mbar The P trig setting determines trigger sensitivity in of how far airway pressure must drop below the set baseline pressure for a patient’s spontaneous efforts to be detected. The P trig LED indicator illuminates each time the airway pressure reaches the set P trig level, and turns off once the airway pressure has returned to baseline pressure. The blinking P trig LED is referred to as the Patient Effort Indicator. The P trig value is displayed in the adjacent window. Set Ptrig as close to 0.0 cmH2O as possible without autotriggering to maximize triggering synchrony.
PEEP/AP Range: 0 to 30 cmH2O/mbar The PEEP/AP setting establishes airway pressure in the patient circuit during the exhalation phase. It is also referred to as base or baseline pressure. The set PEEP/AP value is displayed in the adjacent window. NOTE: In Pressure Control ventilation, PEEP/AP cannot be set higher than 5 cmH2O/mbar below the set Pressure Control setting. NOTE: The value of PEEP/AP plus P cannot exceed 60 cmH2O/mbar.
P (pressure ) Range: 0 to 60 cmH2O/mbar The P (pressure ) setting determines the target rise/change in pressure during inspiration for patient triggered spontaneous breaths in SIMV and SPONT modes. The target pressure is the set P plus the PEEP level. Any time the active P control is pressed, P flow delivery slows to a lower level then it gradually increases to the appropriate level as pressure rise is re-assessed. NOTE: The value of PEEP/AP plus P cannot exceed 60 cmH2O/mbar.

SECTION 3 High Baseline Pressure Alarm (automatic) Audible Alarm: Visual Alarm: Message Window:
Intermittent beep ▲Paw indicator blinks red HIGH Pbase
The High Baseline Pressure (High Pbase) alarm is activated when airway pressure is above the Low ▼ Paw alarm limit setting at the beginning of a time activated mandatory breath. The alarm resets when Paw drops to within 5 cmH2O / mbar of the set PEEP/AP level.
Occlusion Alarm, Circuit (automatic) Audible Alarm: Visual Alarm: Message Window:
Intermittent beep ▲Paw indicator blinks red at the high priority rate OCCLUSION
An Occlusion alarm is activated when airway pressure is above the set PEEP + 15 cmH2O/mbar at 3 seconds after the beginning of expiration, or at the end of expiration, whichever comes first. When a breathing circuit occlusion occurs, the ventilator will be unable to release the pressure, therefore additional breaths will not be delivered until the condition is corrected. The alarm resets when airway pressure falls to within 15 cmH2O/mbar of baseline, at which point breath delivery is resumed.
Occlusion Alarm, Device (automatic) Audible Alarm: Visual Alarm: Message Window:
Intermittent beep ▲Paw indicator blinks red at the high priority rate and Device Alert indicator blinks OCCLUSION
An Occlusion alarm is activated when airway pressure is above the set PEEP + 15 cmH2O/mbar at 3 seconds after the beginning of expiration, or at the end of expiration, whichever comes first. When the Occlusion alarm is caused by a malfunction inside the ventilator, the HT50 will attempt to relieve circuit pressure through its redundant safety system. If successful, ventilation will continue, but in an alarmed state. It is possible that the condition causing the alarm will self-correct, in which case the alarm is reset. Otherwise, the ventilator will continue to alarm until the necessary service is performed. If the HT50 is unsuccessful in relieving circuit pressure, additional breaths will not be delivered unless airway pressure falls to within 15 cmH2O/mbar of baseline.

SECTION 4 GENERAL SYSTEM OVERVIEW The Newport HT50 Ventilator is a compact, lightweight, powerconservative, ventilator that is designed to provide ventilation for adult and pediatric (infants, children & adolescents) patients with body weight >10 kg. The HT50 Ventilator’s unique, patented dual-micro-piston gas compressing technology allows the HT50 to operate without an external compressed gas source, making it convenient to use in a variety of environments such as hospitals, emergency response, subacute facilities, homes and transport operations. The dual micro pistons’ ability to deliver a variable flow enables the HT50 to provide a full range of operating modes and breath types, including Assist Control, SIMV and SPONT modes with Volume Control and Pressure Control mandatory breaths, Pressure of spontaneous breathing and servo-controlled leak-compensated PEEP. Leak compensation helps to improve triggering and avoid auto-triggering when a leak is present. The HT50 may be used with an endotracheal tube, tracheal tube, mask or mouthpiece. The HT50 provides monitoring of inspiratory tidal volume (every breath), inspiratory minute volume, total respiratory rate, peak pressure, mean pressure and baseline (PEEP) pressure. Realtime patient circuit pressure is displayed at all times on the airway pressure gauge on the face . The sets variable alarm settings for High Pressure, Low Pressure, High Inspiratory Minute Volume and Low Inspiratory Minute Volume, with Back Up Ventilation provided in all modes in response to a Low Minute Volume Alarm. There are also built in alarms for High Baseline, Low Baseline, (Circuit) Occlusion, Apnea, PCV Not Reached, Check Prox Line, Power Switchover (from external to internal), Low Battery and Empty Battery and Device Alerts. The HT50-H model also provides humidifier related alarms. Gas delivery to the patient may be enriched with oxygen (0.211.00) using either the Air Oxygen Entrainment (50 psi) Mixer (HT460700) or the Low Flow Oxygen Blending Bag Kit (HT600044). There is an Auto-Lock feature that may be enabled or disabled. The alarm loudness may be set to two different levels. The HT50 may be operated from a variety of AC (100-240 VAC @ 50 / 60 / 400 Hz) or DC (12-30 VDC) external power sources or from the Dual Pac Internal Battery System. The Autolighter Cable (HT460085) accessory enables connection to an automobile-type DC outlet.
OPRHT50NA B0908
4-1
THEORY OF OPERATION Any time external power is connected to the ventilator, the Dual Pac Internal Battery system is charging. And when external power is lost, the (new and fully charged) Dual Pac Internal Battery system takes over and powers the HT50 for up to 10 hours, at standard ventilator settings. A Battery Low Alarm alerts the when a minimum of 30 minutes operating time remains. The HT50 is available with a built-in humidifier or without. The HT50 is very easy to set up and use with clear indications of all ventilation and alarm settings and alarm violations. NOTE: When the HT50 is used in a home care environment it is important that the primary caregiver has received training and has demonstrated competency in all equipment functions. A specific written care plan must be established by the attending physician. NOTE: Transport of patients with the HT50 requires that medical staff have a good working knowledge of the ventilator’s use and problem resolution. Proper emergency back-up equipment must be immediately available during transport.
A/CMV MODE (Assist/Control Mandatory Ventilation) In A/CMV mode, time activated (mandatory) breaths are delivered in accordance with the ƒ setting. Patients can trigger mandatory breaths in addition to, or in place of, time activated (mandatory) breaths if the effort they generate causes airway pressure to meet the P trig setting. Every such patient effort results in a mandatory breath. The breath can be volume or pressure controlled. PEEP/AP may be added. Tidal volume is determined by the target pressure, tI, and patient respiratory mechanics in Pressure Control and by the tidal volume setting in Volume Control. As with all HT50 operating modes, Back-up Ventilation is • activated if the Low ▼VI alarm limit is violated.

Figure 4-1 Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV)
SIMV MODE (Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation) In SIMV mode, patients receive a fixed number of volume or pressure controlled mandatory breaths (time or patient activated) and may breathe spontaneously between mandatory breaths, with or without pressure (P). See Figure 4-1 for schematic illustration. PEEP/AP may be added. The first patient triggered breath in any mandatory breath interval will be a patient triggered mandatory breath. The patient has the rest of the interval to breathe spontaneously. If the patient does not trigger the ventilator, and one complete mandatory breath interval has elapsed, a time triggered mandatory breath is delivered. A mandatory breath lockout interval is activated whenever the patient triggers a mandatory breath. This limits the number of mandatory breaths (time triggered or patient triggered) the patient receives in 60 seconds to the ƒ (b/min) setting. As with all HT50 operating modes, Back-up Ventilation is • activated if the Low ▼VI alarm limit is violated.
SPONT MODE (Spontaneous Ventilation) In SPONT mode, mandatory breaths are not delivered but the can adjust both PEEP/AP and pressure (P) levels. The patient has control over each breath.
OPRHT50NA B0908
4-3
THEORY OF OPERATION When PEEP/AP is set above 0, the ventilator mode is AP (without P) or Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure (with P ). Ensure that Ptrig is set so the HT50 detects all spontaneous patient efforts. Entries for tidal volume, pressure control, ƒ, tI and Low Paw alarm limit are all inactive in SPONT mode. However, s can preset these parameters for future A/CMV or SIMV operation. As with all HT50 operating modes, Back-up Ventilation is • activated if the Low ▼VI alarm limit is violated.
P (Pressure ) P only functions during patient triggered spontaneous breaths in SIMV and SPONT modes. During each spontaneous breath, the ventilator s the patient by elevating the airway pressure to the P + PEEP level. Breaths are terminated when (1) flow to the patient drops to 25% of that breath’s peak flow rate, or (2) the target airway pressure is exceeded by 3 cmH2O (mbar), or (3) after 3 seconds of inspiration.
PRESSURE CONTROL (Pressure Control Ventilation) The HT50 targets and maintains patient airway pressure at the set pressure control level throughout inspiration. Breath termination occurs when (1) the set tI elapses, or (2) Paw exceeds the Pressure Control setting by 8 cmH2O (mbar). NOTE: The target airway pressure for pressure controlled mandatory breaths in A/CMV and SIMV is the display setting above ambient pressure, not above PEEP. Both time and patient triggered mandatory breaths can be delivered in A/CMV and SIMV Pressure Control operation. During SIMV Pressure Control operation, patients can breathe spontaneously between mandatory breaths with or without pressure . NOTE: When disconnecting the patient circuit during PCV/PSV ventilation, i.e. for suctioning, the flow may increase in order to compensate for the low pressure. After reconnecting the patient circuit, the flow will automatically readjust to meet the patient’s demand.

OPRHT50NA B0908
SECTION 4
VOLUME CONTROL (Volume Control Ventilation) During Volume Control ventilation, tidal volume can be set for mandatory breaths. If a volume setting is changed while the ventilator is operating, the change takes place in increments over a series of breaths. When tidal volume is adjusted, inspiratory time remains constant • and V (mandatory flow) changes. If an attempted tidal volume setting results in a flow rate in excess of 100 L/min or less than 6 L/min, adjustment ceases and the is alerted by an audible beep and the message • • “Reached Max V” or “Reached Min V” will appear in the Message Display Window. •
NOTE: Make sure that the mandatory flow (V) setting is adequate to meet patient flow demands. The flow setting is displayed by • pressing the front button labeled V. Mandatory flow is changed by adjusting tI.
BACK-UP VENTILATION Back-up Ventilation is an alarmed function that activates when • the delivered inspiratory minute volume (VI) falls below the Low • • ▼VI alarm limit setting. During Back-up Ventilation, the Low ▼VI (Back-up Vent) alarm indicator blinks, an audible alarm sounds, • and “Low V i (BUV)” is displayed in the Message Display Window. The ventilation settings employed by Back-up Ventilation are displayed on the front . Back-up Ventilation is functional in all modes. NOTE: Back-up Ventilation is not active for 60 seconds after the adjusts any ventilator controls, changes modes or turns the ventilator On from the Setting condition. NOTE: During Back-up Ventilation, the Silence/Reset button can be pressed to silence the audible alarm. This will not cancel Back-up Ventilation. NOTE: Back-up Ventilation in the HT50 is based on the delivered inspiratory minute volume. The inspiratory minute volume may be different from the expiratory minute volume in some conditions, such as in the case of a patient breathing circuit or patient airway leak. Back-up Ventilation in A/CMV and SIMV Modes: (Back-up Ventilation parameters are indicated on the front displays.)
OPRHT50NA B0908
4-5
THEORY OF OPERATION In A/CMV or SIMV modes, mandatory breath frequency increases by 1.5 times the frequency ( ƒ ) setting, up to a maximum of 99 b/min. The minimum breath frequency delivered is 15 b/min. The frequency (ƒ) will only increase up to a rate that produces a 1:1 I:E ratio even if the calculated Back-up Ventilation rate is higher. Back-up Ventilation in SPONT Mode: (Back-up Ventilation parameters are indicated on the front displays.)
In SPONT mode, the MODE changes from SPONT to SIMV, Pressure Controlled ventilation, mandatory breath frequency ( ƒ ) = 15 b/min., peak inspiratory pressure = 15 cmH2O/mbar above set PEEP and inspiratory time (tI) = 1.0 sec. Cancellation of Back-up Ventilation Cancelled If during Back-up Ventilation, the adjusts any ventilation parameter, Back-up Ventilation is suspended for one minute and all selected ventilation parameters are employed.

OPRHT50NA B0908
SECTION 5 AIR / OXYGEN ENTRAINMENT MIXER (Optional Accessory) An optional Air/Oxygen Entrainment Mixer (p/n HT460700) is designed for exclusive use with the Newport HT50 ventilator. It is used to blend atmospheric air with pressurized medical grade oxygen at a precise ratio. The standard oxygen inlet connection is DISS 1240. Flow Range: FIO2: Accuracy: Input Pressure – Oxygen:
Up to 100 L/min 0.21 to 1.00 ±8% (at flows: 10-100 L/min) 35-90 psig / 240-620 kPa
WARNING The oxygen concentration to the patient should be monitored with a device that will sound an alert if the concentration deviates from the set value. WARNING The Air/Oxygen Entrainment Mixer is designed to operate with hospital grade O2 supply. NOTE: No oxygen is delivered through the Air/Oxygen Entrainment Mixer while the HT50 is in Setup or Settings Condition.
Installation Instructions WARNING Make sure to monitor and when necessary replace the air inlet filter to ensure that it is clean when using the Mixer. The Air/Oxygen Entrainment Mixer attaches into the inlet port on the Filter Cover, located on the right side of the ventilator. NOTE: Before attaching the Air/Oxygen Entrainment Mixer, make sure that the three hold-down screws on the Filter Cover are tight. If the screws are not tight, ambient air may enter the HT50 from around the inlet cover. This may change the oxygen enrichment level delivered to the patient when the Mixer is in use.
1. Unscrew the three thumb screws on the Filter Cover from the ventilator housing. 2. Remove the Cover and inspect the filter. Replace it if it is dirty. 3. Reattach the Filter Cover, ensuring that the three thumb screws are tight. Inspect Filter OPRHT50NA B0908

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE Reassemble Valve:
Reassembly must be done correctly to ensure proper operation of the ventilator. 1. Attach the diaphragm to the white plastic drive line fitting. The diaphragm must be carefully seated so that it lays flat on the white plastic drive line fitting and snaps on around the edge completely. 2. Place the fitting/diaphragm assembly in the valve body with the drive line fitting lined up in the same direction as the proximal pressure fitting on the other side of the valve. 3. Carefully place the cap over the fitting/diaphragm assembly and turn the cap clockwise until it comes up against the stop. 4. Perform an exhalation valve calibration to ensure proper operation of the ventilaor. NOTE: Do not try to turn the drive line fitting after securing the cap. This may cause the diaphragm to become wrinkled or unseated and affect ventilator performance. Perform a successful exhalation valve calibration to proper valve assembly.
HT50 Air Inlet Particle Filter WARNING NEVER operate the HT50 without a clean inlet particle filter in place. WARNING NEVER reverse inlet particle filter when dirty. The air inlet particle filter, located on the right side of the ventilator behind the Filter Cover, keeps dirt and particles out of the ventilator’s piston system. As the filter becomes dirty it can reduce the volume of air drawn into the ventilator. Check the inlet filter weekly. Replace with a new filter when the majority of the filter surface area has changed from a clean white to a dirty brown color. Inlet filters are not reusable. NOTE: After replacing the filter, make sure that the three holddown screws on the Filter Cover are tight. If the screws are not tight, ambient air may enter the HT50 from around the inlet cover. NOTE: HOME CAREGIVERS: When the HT50 is used in homecare environments, the filter may become dirty more frequently and must be inspected and/or changed more often.

OPRHT50NA B0908
SECTION 6 Proximal Inline Filter WARNING Always use a Proximal Inline Filter (p/n HT6004701 or equivalent) at the Airway Pressure Connector to protect the internal pressure transducers from moisture or other contaminants. WARNING Never reverse the Proximal Inline Filter. The Proximal Inline Filter has a very important function in the HT50. Located at the Airway Pressure Connector, it protects the internal pressure transducers from moisture or other contaminants that may be present in the proximal airway tubing. Since there is no purge flow coming from the HT50, it is important to always use a Proximal Inline Filter (p/n HT6004701 or equivalent). Check the Prox Inline Filter weekly. Discard it and replace with a new filter if it appears to have gotten wet or come in with a contaminant. Inline filters are not reusable. In the event that the filter does become occluded, the primary indication for this would be a Low Pressure Alarm indication with the message “CHECK PROX LINE.” Should this happen, replace the filter. NOTE: NEWPORT strongly recommends that extra Prox Inline Filters be available at all times when using the HT50 ventilator Caution Do not wash or sterilize the Prox Inline Filter.
MAINTENANCE Preventive Maintenance The Air Inlet Filter (located behind the Filter Cover) must be checked weekly. Replace when the majority of the filter surface area has changed from a clean white to a dirty brown color. Air Inlet Filters are not reusable. NOTE: HOME CAREGIVERS: When the HT50 is used in homecare environments, the filter may become dirty more frequently and must be inspected and/or changed more often. WARNING NEVER reverse inlet particle filter when dirty. Check the Prox Inline Filter weekly. Replace with a new filter if it appears to have gotten wet or come in with a contaminant. Inline filters are not reusable. Inspect the HT50 on a regular basis for signs of broken or frayed power cord. The exhalation valve should be inspected to OPRHT50NA B0908

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE that there are no cracks or damaged surfaces. Wipe down the surface of the ventilator housing regularly to remove any dust that might accumulate. If service is required your home equipment provider.
Dual Internal Battery Maintenance The primary internal battery should be replaced every 12 months or sooner if the use time no longer meets the needs of the . This will depend on a number of factors including settings and usage patterns. The secondary internal battery should be replaced every 24 months. To preserve the Dual Pac internal battery life: 1. Always plug the HT50 into external power sources when available to keep the Dual Pac Internal Battery charged up, whether or not the HT50 is in use. Be sure to check that the green “Ext. Power” LED is lit. 2. Always keep Power Save function ON. 3. Always have available a back up power source, AC Power Cord and optional Autolighter Power Cord Accessory (p/n HT460085). 4. It is recommended that you keep a Battery Use Time Log so that you know when it is time to have your primary internal battery (LA) replaced. “Use Time” is the time from when you unplug your ventilator from A.C. and power it on internal battery until it indicates a “Battery Low” alarm.
10,000 Hour Maintenance A comprehensive maintenance should be performed after 10,000 hours of operation. The 10,000 hour maintenance includes replacement of the intake filter and pump assembly and performance of the Operational Verification Procedure. Refer to the HT50 Service Manual, p/n SERHT50-NA, or the Newport Medical Technical Service Department for detailed information on the 10,000 hour maintenance. NOTE: HOME CAREGIVERS: Do not attempt to open or perform any service procedures on the HT50. Only Newport Medical trained technicians are authorized to service the ventilator. your Homecare Dealer or Newport Medical. See page 16 and 1-7 for information.

SECTION 6 GENERAL WARNINGS Preventive maintenance work, repairs, and service may only be performed by NEWPORT trained or factory-authorized personnel. Always follow accepted hospital procedures or physician instructions for handling equipment contaminated with body fluids. The ventilator and its accessories must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after each patient use. Perform all cleaning and sterilization of external parts and accessories in accordance with established hospital procedures, physician prescription or Homecare Dealer instructions. Certain components of the ventilator, such as the exhalation valve and the front , consist of materials that are sensitive to some organic solvents used for cleaning and disinfection (e.g. phenols, halogen releasing compounds, oxygen releasing compounds, and strong organic acids). Exposure to such substances may cause damage that is not immediately recognizable. The reusable exhalation valve, reusable breathing circuit, humidifier bottle, and other parts that come in direct with the patient should be sterilized between use.

Charge battery to full charge level. Battery charges in 5-8 hrs from A.C. or external D.C. Check charge level by pressing Int. Battery (Push to Test) button and view level in Paw monitor window.
Note: New battery use time is up to 10 hours at nominal ventilator settings with Power Save turned ON (see Specifications on pg. 2-4). The first Battery Low alarm will occur when a mimimum of 30 minutes of operating time remains. Battery Empty alarm will occur when a mimimum of 15 minutes of battery time is left.
Extend battery use time by plugging into A.C. or D.C. (car adapter) when available. Suggestion: Optional accessory, Automobile 12V power cord p/n HT460085, can be used to plug ventilator into automobile cigarette lighter. Ensure that the green Ext. Power LED is lit when connected to an AC or DC power source (it can take up to two minutes). If LED is not lit, check connections and resolve any problems. Power Save is OFF. This will decrease battery use time by 20% to 30%.
Enter Setup and turn Power Save ON.

Press Alarm Silence/Reset to clear latched alarm indicators.
Ventilation settings used create higher peak and mean pressures than nominal settings as outlined in operating manual.
Battery is not in optimal condition / needs to be replaced.
At your ventilator settings, note the battery use time until the first Battery Low alarm sounds. A minimum of 30 minutes of operating time remains until shutdown. This will be your expected battery use time at your settings. The internal battery capacity begins to diminish at approximately 200 deep discharge cycles. This means that after 200 deep discharge cycles (battery is used to the “Battery Low” alarm and then recharged), the total battery use time will be significantly less than when new. As the battery ages the Battery Low alarm will occur sooner. If this begins to infringe on the needed battery use time prior to scheduled replacement, the primary internal battery should be replaced.

Questions and Answers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . C-1
OPRHT50NA B0908
APPENDIX C QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 1. Can I use the HT50 to deliver BiPAP (Mask Ventilation)? • Yes. Use a standard anesthesia-style of mask and NOT a mask with a vent/hole in it. Minimizing leaks will improve successful ventilation with a mask. Any mode can be used, but follow physicians orders. If specific parameters are ordered, then Pressure Control pressure is the same as High PAW, PEEP is the same as Low PAW, tI is the same as High Time. Set the rate (ƒ) to set Low Time using this formula: ƒ = 60 divided by (High Time plus Low Time). Set Ptrig as in regular ventilation – reduce until the ventilator auto triggers, then increase slowly until auto triggering stops. 2. Why do I need to place a filter inline with the proximal pressure tubing? • The proximal pressure tubing does not have a purge flow therefore it would be possible for fluid/contaminants in the breathing circuit to enter the HT50 through the proximal tubing. The filter provides a contamination barrier. 3. Can I use a single patient use breathing circuit on the HT50? • Yes. There are several good single use breathing circuits available from Newport Medical and other suppliers. A good quality circuit is important in controlling PEEP, patient trigger sensitivity and patient comfort. You can access a list of circuits that have been tested for use on the HT50 at www.ventilators.com/Bulletins.asp • Newport recommends that you perform an exhalation valve calibration each time you install a clean disposable circuit, just as you would with a reusable circuit. This is to accommodate circuit and exhalation valve performance variations. Do not use a circuit that fails the exhalation valve calibration. 4. What size of breathing circuit should I use on pediatric patients? • Breathing circuit tubing should always be 22 mm ID. For small patients, use pediatric-sized, low deadspace tubing / connectors from the exhalation valve to the patient for a single limb and from the wye connector to the patient for a "J" circuit.
OPRHT50NA B0908
C-1
HT50 HELP GUIDE 5. How does the HT50 handle leaks in the airway/breathing circuit? • The HT50 can manage to maintain the set PEEP/AP level when the patient has a small airway leak by generating a low flow (~7.5 L/min) in the breathing circuit. Also, the pressure in the exhalation valve is servo controlled to maintain the set baseline (PEEP) pressure. 6. Is it possible to use a heat moisture exchanger (HME) with the HT50’s single-limb breathing circuit? Is the continuous flow generated when PEEP is added a problem? • Yes, you can use a heat moisture exchanger (HME) whenever it is appropriate for the patient. The continuous flow generated by the HT50 when PEEP > 0 will exit the exhalation valve prior to the HME. 7. How do I obtain hours of operation? • Press the ▲Up arrow until the information is displayed. The Message Display Window displays the following: H xxxxx Sxxxx L or Q. Where H is hours of operation, S is Software revision and L or Q is alarm loudness setting (Loud or Quiet). 8. Why does the HT50 Ventilator make a vibration noise? • The dual micro-pistons that generate gas within the HT50 move back and forth very quickly and therefore make a vibration under normal circumstances. They will vibrate more when generating higher flows since they will be moving faster. You may notice this during pressure or pressure control -- or particularly when there is a leak or disconnect.
