1 Introduction
This Operator’s Manual (V60-00001-18) contains information intended to ensure safe
and effective use of the FLIGHT 60 Ventilator.
1.1 Intended Use
The FLIGHT 60 Ventilator is intended to provide continuous or intermittent
mechanical ventilation support for the care of individuals who require mechanical
ventilation. Specifically, the FLIGHT 60 is applicable for adult and pediatric (i.e.,
infant, child and adolescent) patients, greater than or equal to 10kg (22 lbs).
The FLIGHT 60 Ventilator is a restricted medical device intended for use by qualified,
trained personnel under the direction of a physician; it is suitable for use in hospital,
sub-acute, emergency room, and home care environments, as well as for transport
and emergency response applications

1.3 Overview
The FLIGHT 60 Ventilator is an electrically powered, microprocessor controlled
ventilator with pressure support for spontaneous breathing. It can be pressure or
time activated, volume or pressure limited, and time, pressure, or flow cycled.
Backup ventilation is available, manual inflation is possible, and there is an
emergency intake valve which allows the patient to pull ambient air into the patient
circuit in the event of a complete loss of supply of gas pressure. Opening pressure is
approximately –3 cmH2O (–3 mbar) during emergency intake.
The FLIGHT 60 Ventilator may be powered by external power (100-240 VAC or 12-15
VDC) or by its Li Ion internal batteries. Two internal Li Ion rechargeable batteries
power the ventilator for up to 12 hours when fully charged.
The main component of the pneumatic system is an electrically controlled pump. This
pump provides a compressed gas source so that no external air compressor is
needed. Additionally, the exhalation valve is activated by an electrically controlled
proportional solenoid.
Transport of patients with the FLIGHT 60 Ventilator requires that medical staff
have a good working knowledge of the ventilator’s use and problem resolution.
Proper emergency backup equipment must be immediately available during
transport.

Safety Instructions
General Warnings

2 Safety Instructions
At all times, strictly follow this manual. The safe use of the FLIGHT 60 Ventilator
requires full understanding of its operation, and adherence to the manual's
instructions. The equipment is only to be used for the purpose specified in Section
1.1. Observe all of the WARNINGS and CAUTIONS posted in this manual, and on
buttons found on the FLIGHT 60 Ventilator and associated accessories.
2.1 General Warnings
External power connection: To maintain grounding integrity when using AC
power, only connect to hospital grade receptacles. Always disconnect the
external power supply prior to servicing. 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.
Do not use electrically conductive patient circuits.
Always use a clean, disinfected patient circuit.
Always use an outlet filter or equivalent at the Airway Pressure Connector, to
protect the internal transducers from moisture and other contaminants.
Always use appropriate monitors to ensure sufficient oxygenation and
ventilation (such as pulse oximeter and/or capnograph) when the FLIGHT 60
Ventilator is in use on a patient.

Safety Instructions
General Warnings
Operator's Manual | 15
The ventilator is ready for operation only when:
It is completely assembled.
The Quick Check Procedure, including the Exhalation Valve Calibration has
been successfully completed.
Constant attention by qualified medical personnel is recommended whenever a
patient is ventilated with the FLIGHT 60 Ventilator.
If a fault is detected in the ventilator and its life support functions are in doubt,
immediately discontinue use; use an alternative method of ventilation until the
fault has been corrected, and contact your provider or FLIGHT MEDICAL
immediately.
Failure to identify and correct alarm violations may result in patient injury.
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.
As Li-Ion batteries are charged and discharged over time, their ability to hold a
charge is decreased with use. This can shorten the length of time the ventilator
can function while on battery power.
The batteries should be replaced when the batteries no longer meet the needs
of the user. This depends on a number of factors including settings and usage
patterns.
When the FLIGHT 60 Ventilator is used for transport applications, ensure that
the internal batteries are fully charged prior to use.

Safety Instructions
General Warnings
16 | Flight 60
When the Battery Empty alarm sounds, only a limited amount of battery power
remains, and an alternate power source should be found immediately.
Charge the batteries for a minimum of three hours before powering the
ventilator from the batteries. This provides fully charged batteries.
During storage, charge the batteries for a minimum of three hours every 30
days. This provides charged batteries.
Always ensure that the green Ext. Power LED is illuminated after connecting
the FLIGHT 60 Ventilator to an external AC or DC power source. If the LED is
not illuminated, check all power connections and resolve any problems.
Always plug the FLIGHT 60 Ventilator into an AC power supply source when not
in use, to ensure best battery performance.
The flow resistance of the air inlet filter, located on the right side of the
ventilator, is likely to increase with repeated use. Ensure that the filter is
changed regularly.
Only a FLIGHT MEDICAL approved patient circuit can be used with the FLIGHT
60 Ventilator.
Only a FLIGHT MEDICAL approved exhalation valve can be used with the
FLIGHT 60 Ventilator.

Safety Instructions
