The Vivo 65 can be used with the following patient circuit configurations:
• Dual limb circuit (adult or paediatric), connected to an integrated active exhalation valve,
for internal measurement of expired volume, pressure and flow.
• Single limb circuit with external leakage port or external active exhalation valve.
• Circuit with mouthpiece interface.
1.1.1 Multiple Use
This is a multiple patient multiple use device. If it should be used by multiple patients, see
the cleaning instructions in 7.3 Change of Patients, page 127 before assigning it to a new
patient.
1.2 Intended Use
The Vivo 65 (with or without the SpO2 and CO2 sensor) is intended to provide continuous
or intermittent ventilatory support for the care of individuals who require mechanical venti-
lation. Specifically, the ventilator is applicable for paediatric through adult patients weighing
more than 5 kg.
The Vivo 65 with the SpO2 sensor is intended to measure functional oxygen saturation of
arterial hemoglobin (%SpO2) and pulse rate. The Vivo 65 with the CO2 sensor is intended
to measure CO2 in the inspiratory and expiratory gas.
The device is intended to be used in home, institution, hospitals and portable applications
such as wheelchairs and gurneys. It may be used for both invasive and non-invasive
ventilation.
1.3 Contraindications
• The use of the Vivo 65 is contraindicated for patients who need to be ventilated with
oxygen concentrations (FiO
2
) higher than achievable when combining inlet from a low
pressure oxygen source at 15 l/min with actual ventilator settings.
• Generally, after surgery, the surgeon should be consulted to avoid organ damage and
help determine ventilator parameters that do not adversely affect hemodynamics or have
a negative impact on the patient’s health status.
• In case of facial surgery, make sure to choose a suitable patient interface, in order to
avoid discomfort and injury.
1.3.1 Undesirable Side Effects
WARNING!
The Vivo 65 is not intended to be used as an emergency transport ventilator or critical
care ventilator.
If the patient experiences chest discomfort, pain, severe headache or shortness of breath
while using the Vivo 65, a physician or responsible clinician shall be contacted immediately.
1.4 About this Manual
CAUTION!
Always read this manual before setting up and using the Vivo 65 or performing mainte-
