RoVent®Automatic Ventilator
Set Up Hardware

If ventilating using ambient air (no vaporizer or compressed gas connection):
1. Remove the caps from rear ports and allow them to remain open to atmosphere.
2. Connect the Ventilator Tubing Adaptors to the ports, and attach the Intubation
Tubing.
The hub of a standard catheter endotracheal tube will slide over the end of the
white fitting.
If ventilating using an anesthetic gas vaporizer or compressed gas source:
1. Connect the Bypass Assembly to the rear ports of the PhysioSuite.
Note: The PhysioSuite RoVent is designed to operate with the ports at
neutral pressure. The Bypass Assembly is required to neutralize any
pressure buildup in the rear tubing. Backpressure can aect ventilator
function.
2. Connect the anesthetic vaporizer or compressed gas source to the Inlet side of
the Bypass, and a passive scavenging system (such as a charcoal canister) to the
exhaust port.
Note: Kent Scientific does not recommend connecting active scavengers
directly to the exhaust tubing.
3. Connect the Ventilator Tubing Adaptors to the ports, and attach the
Intubation Tubing.
The hub of a standard catheter endotracheal tube will slide over the end of the
white fitting.
