under approved medical direction.
Warning: Use only as directed. Improper usage or unauthorized
modification of this product may result in user or patient injury.
Warning: Unit is not MRI compatible.
Warning: Not for use in Toxic Environment or in the presence of
flammable anesthetics.
Connecting to an Oxygen Source:
Located on the right side of the ventilator and marked with text is a diameter index
safety system (DISS) fitting. Connect a 50 psi oxygen source with a minimum of 40
LPM flow capacity to this fitting. The unit comes with a single use supply hose made of
PVC. A rubber reusable hose may be purchased and is recommended. See
accessories.
Warning: Proper tidal volumes may not be provided with a gas source
not meeting the specified requirements on page 4.
Warning: This device operates with medical gases under pressure,
including oxygen. Do not use this device while smoking or near open
flames. Do not use on this device or operate near flammable materials.
Caution: In order to provide optimal performance, check all gas
supplies to assure only clean, dry gas is used, free of contaminants
and/or liquids.
The gas source may also be a high flow air/oxygen blend meeting the flow and pressure
requirements.
Select the proper inspiratory time:
Press the ON/OFF button to activate the unit. The EPV100 has the options of a 2
second inspiratory time (this is used on adults with tidal volume requirements of more
than 600ml) and a 1 second inspiratory time (this is used on children or adults). Push
the appropriate Inspiratory time button and a green LED will show the selected
Inspiratory time
Select the desired Breaths per Minute, BPM:
The EPV100 has a BPM range of 8 to 20 with a 2 second inspiratory time and a BPM
range of 8 to 30 with a 1 second inspiratory time. Use the up and down arrows above
or below the text “BPM” to set the desired BPM. The BPM setting will be displayed in
the window above the selection arrows.
The American Heart Association Guidelines 2005 recommend a BPM rate of 8 to 12 for
an adult and 12 to 20 for a child. These are recommendations and you should always
follow your physicians or medical directors’ instructions.
Select the desired Tidal volume, Tv:
Turn the tidal volume knob to desired tidal volume. The flow to the patient is different
for each tidal volume.

Verify the Pressure Relief Setting:
This unit has a factory set pressure relief setting of less than 60cm H2O. The 60
cmH2O setting is a maximum regardless of vent settings. The pressure relief setting
will vary slightly with tidal volume setting. Lower tidal volumes will have a slightly lower
pressure relief point. Always verify the relief pressure after the vent settings have been
selected. To check the actual relief pressure, block the end of the ventilator breathing
circuit and observe the reading on the airway pressure gauge. This will be the
maximum airway pressure. You should hear an audible alarm and see a flashing light
as this maximum pressure is reached.
Warning: Preset tidal volumes may not be delivered when the
maximum pressure limit is reached. Inspiratory times will remain
constant, however no additional tidal volume will be delivered after the
pressure limit is reached.
Connecting the patient breathing circuit:
Located on the left side of the unit is a 22mm connection for a patient breathing circuit.
The patient breathing circuit has been design to fit with an oxygen mask (22mm outside
diameter) or endotracheal tube (15mm inside diameter). Install the corrugated tubing
over the connector so that it is on securely. Follow the established guidelines for
maintaining the patient’s airway.
Verify the patient is receiving good ventilation:
Once the patient is connected to the ventilator the patient should be observed to make
sure they have adequate chest rise and fall. The chest rise should be even and should
return to a normal position. If the patient does not have adequate chest rise check the
tidal volume setting, patient connections and examine the patient for a possible
obstruction of the airway or other injury. The patient should be monitored to make sure
they are receiving proper ventilation.

8
The airway pressure gauge should be observed to make sure the patient is receiving
adequate positive pressure ventilation. If the gauge reading is low during the delivery of
a breath and the chest rise is also low, check the tidal volume setting, patient
connections and examine the patient for a possible obstruction of the airway or other
injury. The gauge reading should also be observed to make sure it is not too high.
Common numbers used in practice are a maximum of 20 cm H2O for and unprotected
airway and 30 cm H2O for a protected airway. Higher pressures may be required
based on the patient’s condition and you should always follow the physician’s
instructions. A high reading with pressure limit alarm may indicate a blocked airway or
a stiff lung. If you are using a PEEP valve with the ventilator circuit the PEEP pressure
will not be displayed on the gauge (airway pressure display).
Spontaneous Breathing by the Patient:
Should the patient begin to breathe spontaneously the EPV100 will allow ambient air to
be pulled in through an anti-suffocation valve located in the breathing circuit connection
fitting. The EPV100 ventilator will not adjust its breath delivery if the patient breathes
spontaneously.
Warning: Do not cover or block Anti-suffocation valve.
Warning: Should a mechanical problem develop or the patient appears
to be experiencing difficulty breathing while connected to the unit,
disconnect the unit immediately and ventilate by other means.
Cold Temperature Operation
Operating time will be significantly reduced if the batteries are stored at low
temperatures. At 15°F (-9°C) the battery life will be approximately 9 hours (10 BPM and
2 second It) before the low battery indicator turns on. The low battery indicator will still
give about a 2 hour low battery warning. Batteries should be replaced when the low
battery indicator appears as run times are reduced at low temperatures. When the unit
stops operating you will receive a breath delivery alarm.
Warning: Batteries stored at temperatures below 15°F (-9°C) may not
have enough power to properly operate the solenoid valve in the unit
resulting in tidal volumes that are not the indicated value.

8 Alarms:
This ventilator contains several alarms. These alarms are high airway pressure, low
source gas, low battery and a breath delivery failure alarm.
The high airway alarm is an audible alarm with a red LED that is actuated when the
airway pressure during inspiration reaches 45 cm H2O. The safety pressure relief will
actuate at pressures between the alarm setting and 60 cm H2O.
Warning: Preset tidal volumes may not be delivered when the
maximum pressure limit is reached. Inspiratory times will remain
constant, however no additional tidal volume will be delivered after the
pressure limit is reached.
This alarm is automatically cleared when 25 seconds pass without a high airway
pressure being detected.
Low source gas alarm is an audible alarm with a red LED that activates when the
source gas pressure drops below 40 to 35 psi. This is an indication that the unit will
stop functioning soon and that the unit may not be delivering proper tidal volumes.
Warning: Preset tidal volumes may not be delivered when the low
source gas pressure is reached.
This alarm clears when proper source gas pressure is restored for 15 seconds.
The low battery alarm is a red LED that indicates the battery is running low. The unit
will operate about 2 hours after the alarm first turns on. The batteries should be
replaced when the low battery alarm turns on.
Warning: The displays on the unit will stay on after the unit has
stopped delivering breaths. Batteries should be replaced when a low
battery condition is encountered.
This alarm clears when the batteries have proper battery voltage.
The breath delivery alarm is a flashing red LED. This alarm uses the same light as
the high airway pressure alarm. The breath delivery alarm will sound when the airway
pressure does not reach 9 cm H2O in 15 seconds. This alarm may indicate that the
patient has become disconnected from the unit or the unit has stopped delivering
breaths. This alarm clears when airway pressure exceeds 9 cm H2O.
Silence Button –When there is an alarm, the user may press the button for the
currently selected inspiratory time for 3 seconds to silence the alarm. This will turn off
the buzzer for 110 seconds as long as there are no other alarms. Pressing this button
will not clear the alarm LED’s.

9 Battery Replacement:
The batteries are replaced by loosening the 4 thumbscrews on the battery door located
on the front of the unit. The batteries should be removed by gently prying the top (+) of
the battery up and towards the bottom of the unit. Replace the batteries with 2 “D” size
alkaline batteries only. Do not mix new and old batteries when installing in unit. The
batteries must be inserted with the positive (+) end of the battery towards the top of the
unit. For ease of installation, install the bottom (-) of the battery first. Replace the
battery door and tighten the 4 thumbscrews.
Turn the unit on and verify that the displays turn on. Connect a 50 psi oxygen source to
the unit and verify that the unit does deliver breaths. The breath delivery alarm will
sound if the unit is not connected to a test lung. This is normal and not a concern. The
ventilator is now ready for use. Always turn the ventilator off when not in use to
preserve battery life. The ventilator does not turn off automatically.
Warning: Do not recharge alkaline batteries.
10 Cleaning:
The EPV100 should be cleaned after each use. To clean the EPV100 keep the gas
supply hose on the unit to prevent contamination of the oxygen circuit.
Warning: Cleaning procedures should be performed in an environment
free of oil and petroleum based products.
The EPV100 has been designed to be water resistant but the unit cannot be submerged
or sprayed down for cleaning.
Wipe the unit down with a damp rag containing a mild detergent to remove any residue
from the surface. Once the residue has been removed the unit may be wiped with
isopropyl alcohol or a cold disinfecting solution to kill bacteria. The unit should be wiped

12 Check-out Procedure :
The unit should be checked for proper operation before each use. This can be done
after cleaning to prepare the unit for the next use.
Set the ventilator to the following settings:
BPM = 10
Tidal Volume = 640
Inspiratory time = 2 seconds
General Operation Check:
1. Connect a 50 PSI Oxygen source to the unit, turn the power on and it should
begin to cycle.
2. Using a stop watch count the number of breaths delivered in 1 minute (60
seconds).
Confirm that between 9 and 11 breaths have been delivered.
Confirm that the inspiratory time is significantly shorter than the expiratory
time. (At the settings noted above, ventilator should provide a 2.0 second
inspiratory time and a 4.0 second expiratory time)
3. Connect the 22 mm tubing or the allied patient circuit provided, to the patient
circuit connection port. (See Item 9 Under Features Page 5). Block the patient
end of the corrugated tubing.
Confirm that the airway pressure does not exceed 60 cm-H2O, by monitoring
the “Airway pressure display” on the face of the EPV100 ventilator.
An alarm will sound at approximately 45 cm-H2O
4. Visually inspect the anti-suffocation valve in the patient circuit connection port to
verify that the valve is flush to the contour of the round inner surface and no gap
exists.
Alarm Mode Check
1. Low source gas:
Reduce the source gas pressure below 35 PSI and monitor the red LED
display turns on and an audible alarm sounds. Return the source gas
pressure to 50 PSI, and the alarm should clear in 15 seconds
2. High Airway pressure:
Block the patient circuit connection port, and monitor the red LED display for
“High airway Pressure” and an audible alarm will sound. The mechanical
pressure relief should limit the airway pressure to less than 60cm-H2O
3. Breath Delivery:
Clear the patient circuit connection port and allow the EPV to cycle for at least
20 seconds. The Airway Pressure display should not exceed 9 cm-H2O for
15 seconds. Monitor that the red LED is flashing on the “Breath delivery
Alarm” and an audible alarm will sound.
Should the unit fail any of these tests contact Allied Healthcare Products, Inc., technical
support center at 1-800-411-5136.
