•The Elisée 150 must not be covered or positioned in a way which could impede ventilation.
•Before connecting the patient to the ventilator, check the whole of the patient circuit to
eliminate any risk of leaks or defective parts.
•Alarms should be checked and adjusted before the device is used for a new patient. They
should also be checked and adjusted regularly when the device is being used for home
ventilation. These checks could be included in regular servicing.
•The ventilation settings must be decided and applied under the supervision of a physician or
qualified and trained staff.
•Do not use the ventilator with antistatic or electrically conductive patient circuits.
•It is recommended that you have an alternative means of ventilation available.
•For ventilation-dependent patients, it is vitally important that you monitor the ventilator while
it is in operation. Ensure that the person caring for the patient is capable of taking the
necessary corrective action if an alarm is triggered or if the device malfunctions.
•Do not use the ventilator if there are obvious external defects or unexplained changes in
performance.
•The ventilator and its clinical manual have received CE marking (notified body: TÜV Rheinland,
CE 0197). All accessories used must be CE-marked and must comply with the relevant
standards.
Operation
•Do not use this device in the presence of flammable anaesthetic agents.
•Several different pressure measurement units are used in this manual, to correspond to the
usual measurement units. 1mbar = 1hPa = 1.016cmH2O.
•The user must ensure that the total resistance of the patient circuit and ventilation
accessories does not exceed 6hPa (= 6.096cmH2O) for a flow rate of 60 L/min in adult
ventilation, or 6 hPa for a flow rate of 30L/min in paediatric ventilation.
Technical characteristics
•The pressure in the device will not be lower than atmospheric pressure during the expiratory
phase.
•The maximum pressure delivered by the device cannot exceed 60 - 70hPa

2 Introduction and Description
2.1 Purpose of the Elisée 150
The Elisée 150 is a valve ventilation device delivering both pressure and volumetric ventilation,
making it suitable for ventilating adult or child patients, at home and/or in a hospital setting.
It is not designed for neonatal ventilation and should not be used with circuits with a 10mm
diameter.
The circuit type chosen should be:
•15mm in diameter for ventilation with a tidal volume between 50 and 300mL;
•22mm in diameter for ventilation with a tidal volume > 300mL.
The device can be used with a single limb circuit and an expiratory valve, or with a double limb
circuit.
The Elisée 150 is designed to be used for both dependent and non-dependent patients.
This ventilator is fitted with an internal battery which is automatically used if the mains power
supply or external DC power supply is lost.
The Elisée 150 is designed to ensure that the patient is not affected by device malfunctions, using
a system of automatically triggered alarms.
However, it is preferable for the patient to have a backup means of ventilation close by.
Depending on the patient's condition, a backup Elisée 150 may need to be provided.

2.3 Description of power sources
The Elisée 150 can operate with four different power sources. The device automatically selects
the most secure available power source according to the following order of priority:
1. Mains AC voltage: 100-230VAC / 50-60Hz / 0.6-1A (mains power pack inserted in the Elisée
compartment).
2. DC voltage from an external source: 12-28VDC / 15A max.
3. External battery pack inside the external battery pack/mains power pack compartment.
4. Internal battery.
In the event of a power cut or if the mains power cord is disconnected, an audible and visual alarm
is activated. It can be stopped by pressing the Alarm Silence button .
Mains power pack
This pack is used for connecting the ventilator to the mains supply (see "Mains power pack" on
page 23).
Figure 2.7: Mains power pack.
This pack can also be used outside of its compartment, in which case it is connected to the
ventilator using the external power cord. This arrangement enables the ventilator to operate on
mains power and recharge the external battery at the same time (see "Figure 3.2: Connecting the
mains power pack outside of its compartment." on page 24 or see "Figure 3.4: Elisée 150 with
external battery pack and DC power source." on page 25).
Note: When powered using the external power cord, the ventilator treats this supply as an
external supply, not a mains supply.

18/174 NOT013189-6
External DC power supply
Figure 2.8: External DC power cords.
An external DC power source (in a vehicule with 12-28V, 15A max.) can be used by connecting
the external power cord to the right side of the ventilator (see "Figure 3.3: 12-28VDC power cord,
connected." on page 24).
Note: The external DC power source must have a guaranteed life of at least one hour. If the
external power supply is less than 19 +/- 1V, the batteries will not be recharged.

power pack/Elisée connection)
12-28 VDC power cord

19/174Introduction and Description
NOT013189-6
External battery pack
Figure 2.9: Li-Ion external battery pack.
This battery pack is attached and removed in the same way as the mains power pack (see "Mains
power pack" on page 23).
This power supply takes priority over the internal battery.
Note: The external battery pack should be disconnected when the ventilator is switched off.
The external battery is recharged when the ventilator is connected to the mains power pack using
the external power cord or to an external DC supply (see "Figure 3.4: Elisée 150 with external
battery pack and DC power source." on page 25).
Note: When the external battery charge drops below 5%, the Elisée 150 switches to the
internal battery.
Internal battery
This battery is inside the ventilator. It is used when the ventilator is not connected to the mains
supply, to an external DC supply or to the external battery.
Whenever the ventilator is connected to an external power source (mains supply or external DC
supply) of more than 19 +/- 1V, the internal battery is automatically recharged.
Note: When the charge level falls below 15%, the Battery Low alarm is triggered. Within a
minimum of 5 minutes, this alarm is followed by the Battery Empty alarm (charge less than 5)
signalling that ventilation will stop.
Once ventilation has stopped, the device will shut down completely within a minimum of 5
minutes. During this time, connecting the device to a power source (other than the external
battery) will immediately restart ventilation.

20/174 NOT013189-6
Power status information
There are three LEDs on the top of the device showing the status of the power sources.
Table 2.2: Power status information
Note: If the ventilator is operating on battery power alone, you must ensure it is adequately
charged (green light, flashing slowly). If not, connect the ventilator to the mains supply.
The battery charge is displayed one minute after the ventilator is started: one stroke in the
battery symbol indicates a charge level of around 25%.
