Warnings
Device usage
The Philips Respironics E30 ventilator is a multi-patient use device, but should only be used on a single
patient at any given time.
Patient monitoring
Prior to placing a patient on the ventilator, a clinical assessment should be performed to determine:
• The device alarm settings
• Needed alternative ventilation equipment
• If an alternative monitor (i.e. an alarming Pulse Oximeter or Respiratory Monitor) should be used
Alternative Ventilation
For ventilator dependent patients, always have alternate ventilation equipment, such as a back-up ventilator,
manual resuscitator, or similar device available. Ventilator dependent patients should be continuously
monitored by qualied personnel. These personnel should be prepared to provide alternate therapy in the
event of ventilator failure or inoperative equipment.
Oxygen
When using supplemental oxygen with this system, turn the device on before turning on the oxygen. Turn the
oxygen o before turning the device o. This will prevent oxygen accumulation in the device. Explanation of
the Warning: When the device is not in operation and the oxygen ow is left on, oxygen delivered into the
tubing may accumulate within the device’s enclosure. Oxygen accumulated in the device enclosure will create
a risk of re.

Introduction 3
Philips Respironics E30 User Manual
Operating
and storage
temperatures
Do not use this device if the room temperature is warmer than 95˚F (35˚C) because
the temperature of the airow may exceed 109˚F (43˚C). This could cause thermal
irritation or injury to the patient’s airway.
Do not use the device while positioned in a warm place, such as direct sunlight or
near a heating appliance. These conditions can increase the temperature of the
airow and could cause thermal irritation or injury to the patient’s airway.
Do not use the ventilator outside of the environmental conditions listed in the
specication section of this manual.
Device start-up Make sure the device is working properly at start-up. Contact Philips Respironics or
the product support team if these indications do not occur at start-up. See Chapter 3
for more information about device start-up.
Viral bacteria
filter
A viral bacteria lter must be installed in the patient circuit (between outlet of device
and patient) to prevent contamination.
Patient circuits The ventilator should only be used with compatible patient interfaces (e.g., masks,
endotracheal tubes, trachs, circuits and exhalation ports). Proper circuit setup is the
responsibility of the healthcare professional. Patient interface should not be used
unless the device is turned on and operating properly. The circuit’s exhalation device
should never be blocked.
Explanation of warning: The device is intended to be used with special masks
or connectors that have exhalation ports to allow continuous ow of air out of
the mask. When the device is turned on and functioning properly, new air from
the device ushes the exhaled air out through the exhalation device. However,
when the device is not operating, enough fresh air will not be provided through
the mask, and exhaled air may be rebreathed. Rebreathing of exhaled air can, in
some circumstances, lead to suocation.
If you are using a full face mask (a mask covering both your mouth and your nose),
the mask must be equipped with a safety (entrainment) valve; otherwise, a leak
exhalation device must be added to the circuit.
An exhalation port is required. Do not block the exhalation port. This can reduce
airow and result in rebreathing of exhaled air.
At low expiratory pressures, the ow through the exhalation port may be inadequate
to clear all exhaled gas from the tubing – some rebreathing may occur.
Do not pull or stretch the tubing. This could result in circuit leaks.
Verify operation of the Patient Disconnect alarm with any changes in the patient
circuit.
Improperly
functioning
ventilator
If you notice any unexplained changes in the performance of the device, if it is
making unusual sounds, if water is spilled into the enclosure, or if the enclosure is
cracked or broken, discontinue use and contact Philips Respironics.

4 Introduction
Philips Respironics E30 User Manual
Patient
disconnect
You should not rely on any single alarm to detect a patient disconnect condition. The
Low Minute Ventilation and Apnea alarms should be used in conjunction with the
Patient Disconnect alarm.
Test the operation of the patient disconnect function daily and whenever a change is
made to the circuit. An increase in circuit resistance can prevent proper operation of
some alarms.
Power cord Route the power cord to the outlet in a way that will prevent the cord from being
tripped over or interfered with by chairs or other furniture.
This device is activated when the power cord is connected.
Use only power cords supplied by Philips Respironics for this device. Use of power
cords not supplied by Philips Respironics may cause overheating or damage to the
device.
Accessories Ensure accessories and parts are compatible before you connect a patient to the
device. Consult the accessory’s instructions before use. Electronic accessories that
are not intended for use with this device may cause adverse performance including:
increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this
equipment.
Oxygen When administering xed-ow supplemental oxygen, the oxygen concentration
may not be constant. The inspired oxygen concentration will vary, depending on
the pressures, patient ows and circuit leak. Substantial leaks may reduce the
inspired oxygen concentration to less than the expected value. Appropriate patient
monitoring should be used, as medically indicated, such as an alarming pulse
oximeter.
When using oxygen with this system, the oxygen supply must comply with local
regulations for medical oxygen.
Do not connect the device to an unregulated or high pressure oxygen source.
Use an SpO2monitor to verify patient’s oxygenation level.
Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen should not be used while smoking or in the
presence of an open ame.
Do not use the device in the presence of a ammable anaesthetic mixture in
combination with oxygen or air, in the presence of nitrous oxide, or in an oxygen-
enriched environment.
Do not use the device near a source of toxic or harmful vapors.
When using oxygen with this system, turn the device on before turning on the
oxygen. Turn the oxygen o before turning the device o. This will prevent oxygen
accumulation in the device. Explanation of the Warning: When the device is not
in operation and the oxygen ow is left on, oxygen delivered into the tubing may
accumulate within the device’s enclosure. Oxygen accumulated in the device
enclosure will create a risk of re.

12 Introduction
Philips Respironics E30 User Manual

This chapter describes the therapy modes and features available on the device.
2.1 Device therapy modes
Therapy Mode Description
CPAP Continuous Positive Airway Pressure; CPAP maintains a constant level of
pressure throughout the breathing cycle.
S Spontaneous Pressure Support; A therapy mode where breaths are
patient-triggered and patient-cycled. The device triggers to IPAP
(Inspiratory Positive Airway Pressure) in response to spontaneous
inspiratory eort and cycles to EPAP (Expiratory Positive Airway
Pressure) during exhalation. The device also cycles a patient-triggered
breath if no patient exhalation eort is detected for 3 seconds. The level
of Pressure Support delivered is determined by the dierence between
the IPAP and EPAP settings (PS = IPAP - EPAP)
S/T Spontaneous/Timed Pressure Support; A therapy mode where each
breath is patient-triggered and patient-cycled or machine-triggered and
machine-cycled. S/T mode is similar to S mode, except that the device
also will enforce a set minimum breath rate by, if necessary, providing
machine (time) triggered breaths. For these breaths, the inspiratory time
is also a set value.
PC Pressure Control Pressure Support; A therapy mode where each breath is
patient or machine-triggered and machine-cycled. PC mode is similar to
S/T mode, except that all breaths are machine-cycled. This is a pressure-
limited, machine or patient-triggered, time-cycled mode. The cycle time
is determined by the Inspiratory Time setting.
2.2 Triggering
Auto-Trak is a combination of multiple triggering algorithms. The parameters of the algorithms are
automatically set to synchronize the therapy with a variety of patients.
