11. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
11.1 Principle of operation
When turning on the device, the electronics predisposes the device to operate in the mode described as “controlled”. Starts the cyclical
delivery of medical gas that is sent to the patient at regular intervals according to the frequency set by the operator.
The real pressure in the patient circuit is always monitored by the manovacuometer placed on the front panel.
The selection of “AIR-MIX” or “NO AIR_MIX” mode depends on the patient’s oxygenation needs.
The device has an internal 12V battery which provides an autonomy of about two hours when disconnected from the main power supply.
It’s also present a 9V backup battery needed for the operation of the alarms of the main battery charge status.
11.2 Operating modes
Controlled breathing (IPPV)
This mode is selected by default when the unit is turned on. It consist in the erogation of the medical gas to the patient according to the
parameters set with the adjustment knobs. With this mode, the inspiratory and expiratory time ratio is constantly 1:2.
In conditions of medical gas input failure, the ventilator turns on a continuous acoustic alarm. This alarm, is also activated during normal
use when the source of medical gas is empty.
Air Mix/No Air Mix Selection
The switch placed in the middle of the front panel, is used to activate and deactivate the AIR MIX mode.
If in NO AIR MIX mode, the ventilator delivers only the medical gas coming from the main medical gas supply to which the device is
connected. If the supply system delivers oxygen, the ventilator will deliver to the patient an oxygen concentration of 100%. Selecting the
AIR MIX mode, the ventilator draws 60% of gas from the medical gas supply and the remaining 40% from the environment where the
device used. In this case, if the main gas supply deliver oxygen, the concentration of this gas administered to the patient will be of 60%.
Same considerations apply also if the main supply system delivers medical air.
It is absolutely not appropriate to use AIR MIX mode in polluted atmosphere.
11.3 Usage
The physician who directs rescue operation is responsible for the choice of the device to be used and for the clinical assessments needed
for the proper use of this device.
In standard conditions it is suggested to remove any implants, evaluate the need of bronchoaspiration, hyperextend the patient’s head
and, to ensure that the airways are clear, position the face mask over the mouth and nose checking the adherence of the soft part of the
mask on the patient’s face, in order to obtain a sealed system. The Volume/minute parameter selection knob, has a regulation by steps.
This method of regulation prevents from variations of the set parameters if happens accidental contact with the knob when the device is
used. If the patient is intubated, disconnect the mask from the patient valve. Insert in the free hose the endo-tracheal tube with its
connector. Resistance of the airways due to obstructions or external cardiac massage does not cause a variation of the respiratory volume
and frequency. In case of reduction of the compliance, the ventilator will react with a rise of respiratory pressure at a constant volume
Note:
The medical gas flow is not influenced by pressure. The ventilator does not monitor the oxygen concentration (mechanical mixing). Unless
otherwise specified the parameters are expressed in ATPD (Ambient, Temperature and Pressure Dry).
11.4 Alarms
Each visual or acoustic alarm is caused by an abnormal condition which requires attention and the intervention of the operator. Here are
described the characteristics of the alarms and the interventions to be carried out
Battery
Type of alarm: Visual and intermittent acoustic
Meaning: the internal battery is low
Action: connect the device to an external power source complying with the specifications given in paragraph 4.3 or replace the
battery with the reserve one.
Medical gas
Type of alarm: acoustic
Meaning: the medical gas has not enough pressure
Action: Verify the system and the gas supply .

Kompak and Portavent systems have the same operating characteristics as described for the ventilator. The accessories are stored in
compartments. For Kompak versions, the side panel used for the connection to the power supply, is accessible opening the side of the bag
with the zip closure. In Portavent versions, the side pane is accessible only from the frontal part of the device. After charging, be sure that
whole the system has been carefully closed.
The tanks inside Kompak and Portavent must be always closed when the device is not used.
If used in rainy conditions, it is necessary to disconnect the device from the power supply and to close the cases leaving only a small
opening to allow the passage of the patient tube.
12. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
12.1 Cleaning
Failure to carry out the correct cleaning routine could increase the risk of cross infection, due to presence of body fluids and/or residuals.
The operator must always wear adequate personal protection such as gloves and mask, etc. during all checking and cleaning procedures.
The described operations must be performed after each use of Spencer 170.
Turn off the device
Isolate it from the power supply (if connected)
The cleaning of the external parts of the device can be carried out using suitable disinfectants for surfaces as described in the table.
USABLE PRODUCTS

If is used a disposable patient circuit, replace it.
If is used a reusable patient circuit, disassemble every part and sterilize according to a validated procedure.
Similarly, replace or sterilize the mask.
After confirming the ventilator and all accessories are completely dry, is possible to reconnect the device to the power supply.
The use of high pressure water is prohibited,because it should penetrate into the device causing risks of corrosion of components
and risks of electric leakage and short circuits. During every cleaning procedure, check that were not used any kind of lubricants.
12.2 Precautionary maintenance
Establish a maintenance program and periodic testing routine, identifying an employee responsible for this. The person to whom the
ordinary maintenance of the device is entrusted must ensure the basic requirements foreseen by the manufacturer in following paragraphs
are inspected.
All maintenance and periodic servicing activities must be registered and kept together with the servicing reports. These documents have to
be kept for a period of 10 years after the disposal of the device itself. This register will be made available to the competent authorities
and/or manufacturer if requested.
Routine maintenance of the device must be carried out by operators in possession of specific qualifications, trained and experienced in the
use and maintenance of the device.
The operator must always wear adequate personal protection such as gloves and mask, etc. during all checking and cleaning procedures.
Checks to be carried out before and after each use and at deadline indicated above, are as follows:
General functionality of the device
Cleanliness of the device (remember that the failure of cleaning may cause the risk of cross infections)
Correct fixation of all nuts, bolts and screws
No structural part is deformed or compromised
12.2.1 Controllo batteria allarmi 9V
The 9 V backup battery must be regularly checked or replaced depending on its use. Using a tester ensure that the voltage on the battery is
not lower than 10%. The correct polarity when connecting the 9 V battery is guaranteed by the seat of the battery holder and the symbols
indicated on the same. For Kompak and Porta Vent systems be careful to remount the ventilator on the chassis without forcing the fixing
screws.
The alarm battery must be replaced once a year even if in good conditions.
12.2.2 Controllo carica batteria interna
The device is powered by a rechargeable battery. A new battery is never fully charged. It will be fully charged only after being charged for
24 consecutive hours before the first use of the device. The battery recharges automatically when the device is connected to the power
supply 12 Vdc or through a 220 Vac adapter connected to the main supply.
With fully charged and in good condition battery, the ventilator can run for about two hours. With old or in poor condition battery will have
shorter autonomy.
If the device is not used for a long time, more than 3 months, you need to recharge the battery. Do not keep the unit in charge beyond the
time specified. Fully discharge the battery and / or maintain the equipment continuously powered from external source, results in a
significant reduction of the operating life of the battery.
The internal battery must be replaced once a year even if in good conditions.

17
12.2.3 Fuse replacing
Spencer 170 uses a fuse type F1L250V (Fuse Fast 5x20mm 1A). The manufacturer assumes no liability related to the use of spare parts not
meeting the specifications provided.
The fuse is a protection mean for the device, which interrupts the flow of current to the ventilator if it exceeds the maximum value
acceptable the device.
If the fuse blows, the device will continue to work with the internal power supply (battery) until it is exhausted, but will not be possible to
recharge it or use it by connecting to an external power.
To replace the fuse, unscrew with a flat screwdriver the removable part of the fuse holder.
Verify that the filament is actually broken, so to be sure that the problem is not to be found elsewhere.
Insert the new fuse in the removable fuse holder and screw again.
12.2.4 Battery replacing
The annual maintenance of the device requires, among other activities provided by the manufacturer, the replacement of all batteries. If is
necessary to replace the batteries before the annual revision, follow these instructions:
Verify that the device is turned off and disconnected from the power supply.
To replace the main battery, unscrew the two screws on the sides of the cover and remove it. Remove the battery and unplug the sockets.
Connect the new battery by putting the red faston on the positive terminal of the battery (also marked with red) and the black faston on
the negative pole. Replace the battery and screw the battery cover.
The backup battery is inserted in a small compartment whose removal requires no tools. Pull it out by holding on recess at the bottom.
The backup battery is the type 6LF22 or 6LR61 9V commercially available. The correct indication of polarity is indicated inside the
removable compartment and must be strictly respected.
