 ENVIRONMENT SETTINGS (FOR DEFAULT MODE)
A clinician may change the “Environment Settings”, to customise
individual AIRVOs for different environments (eg. intensive care, general
care areas, emergency departments). The “Environment Settings”
37 60 95
chosen will put limits on the “Patient Settings” that the operator can
choose when in normal use.
31 10 21 This screen defines the “Environment Settings” for the AIRVO 2 when in
Default Mode (ie. non-“Junior Mode”).

Minimum dew-point The lowest target dew-point temperature that

temperature (°C) the operator will be able to select.
Possible Settings: 31, 34, 37 °C
If this is set to 31, the operator can select a target
dew-point temperature between 31 and 37. ie. 31,
34 or 37 (°C).
If the patient is tracheostomised, a clinician may
wish to set this value to 37, so that the operator
can only select a target dew-point temperature
between 37 and 37, ie. only 37 (°C).
Note: The maximum dew-point temperature
setting is always 37 °C in Default Mode.
Minimum flow (L/min) The lowest flow that the operator will be able to
select.
Possible Settings: 10 to 60 in increments of 5 L/min,
always less than or equal to Maximum Flow setting.
Example: If this is set to 10, the operator will be
able to select flows down to 10 L/min.
If this is set to 25, the operator will be able to
select flows down to 25 L/min.
Maximum flow (L/min) The highest flow that the operator will be able
to select.
Possible Settings: 10 to 60 in increments of 5 L/min,
always greater than or equal to Minimum Flow setting.
Example: If this is set to 60, the operator can
select flows up to 60 L/min.
If this is set to 35, the operator can select flows up
to 35 L/min.
Maximum oxygen fraction (%) The highest oxygen fraction that the operator
may set the unit to.
37 60 95 Possible settings: 30 - 100% in increments of 5% O2.
The unit will alarm if the measured oxygen
fraction exceeds this value.
31 10 21 Note: Even if this ‘Maximum oxygen fraction‘
setting is set to 100%, any time the measured
oxygen fraction exceeds 95%, the oxygen reading
will pulse red and the device will beep.
Minimum oxygen fraction (%) The lowest oxygen fraction that the operator
may set the unit to.
Possible settings: 21 or 25% O2.
When set to 25% the unit will alarm if the
measured oxygen fraction is below this value. This
allows detection of oxygen being disconnected.
Note that, for Oxygen display, this is a measurement only, not a control setting. The
operator changes the measured oxygen fraction by altering the AIRVO 2 target
flow setting and the flow of oxygen connected to the unit (e.g. from a flowmeter)
- there is no closed-loop control.

3. ACCEPTANCE/PERFORMANCE CHECKS
This section contains performance checks which can be carried out on the AIRVO 2, however there is
no manufacturer requirement to carry out these checks on a routine basis. These checks test the basic
functions of the unit, the operation of the flow sensor and the audible alarm signal.
The Acceptance/Performance Checks Form on page 16 can be used to record the result from these checks.

SENSOR CHECKS

To ensure quality and patient safety, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare undertakes stringent testing to each
and every unit manufactured. The AIRVO 2’s sensors, measuring temperature, flow and oxygen, have
been carefully designed to exacting criteria, and are calibrated and tested in our controlled work
environment to strict limits. Furthermore, the AIRVO 2 itself carries out regular self-checks during
normal use, comparing sensor readings against expected values.

Do not perform additional tests of internal sensor accuracy, as these often produce erroneous
results due to limitations of the external test environment and equipment used, particularly given the
temperature, humidity content and/or flow of the gases being delivered by the AIRVO 2.

ACCEPTANCE/PERFORMANCE CHECKS
The acceptance/performance checks should be conducted under the following ambient conditions:
Temperature: 22 ± 2°C, Humidity: 50 ± 5% RH.

The following equipment is required:

AIRVO 2 humidifier Heated breathing tube and chamber kit Nasal interface

ELECTRICAL SAFETY TESTS

To test for electrical safety perform the following electrical safety tests and any others required by local
regulations.

Inspection Check the power cord for damage - cuts, stretching, wear, adequate cable restraint, bent
pins. Replace with F&P approved cord if necessary.
Insulation Resistance Use a 500 VDC insulation tester to measure the resistance between the mains plug phase pin
and the heaterplate* - it should be > 10 Mohm. Repeat test from the mains plug neutral pin to
the heaterplate*.
* Note: The exposed surface of the heaterplate is anodised (high resistance). Contact MUST
be made to the bottom lip of the heaterplate at the front of the device to make proper
connection - depress the finger guard and slip the tester probe beneath the heaterplate to
ensure contact to unanodised aluminium.

Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with

the following symbol:

NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.

NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and
people.

a
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM
radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters,
an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the device is used exceeds the applicable RF
compliance level above, the device should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be
necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the device.

Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment

and the device

The device is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the device
can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters)

D.15 Condensation

D.15.1 PREVENTION OF EXCESSIVE CONDENSATION

A. Is the AIRVO 2 being used in ambient conditions between 18 – 28 °C
(64 - 82 °F)?
• If the room is less than 18 °C (64 °F), condensation is more likely to
occur.

B. Is there a local source of cooling acting on the heated breathing tube?

• A fan to cool the patient,
• An air-conditioning unit, vent or an open window?
• Are you able to remove or minimize these sources of cooling, e.g.
redirect the fan, cooling the patient, away from the heated breathing
tube?

D.15.2 CONDENSATION MANAGEMENT

Figure 22
A. Implement
 a system to check the heated breathing tube for condensate
regularly.
B. Is
 the AIRVO 2 placed below head heightFig. 22?
• This will allow condensate to drain towards the water chamber, away
from the patient.
C. If
 condensation is present, drain it back into the water chamberFig. 23:
• Disconnect the patient interface from the heated breathing tube.
• Drain the tube by lifting the patient end of the tube, allowing the
condensate to run into the water chamber. Figure 23
• At higher target flow rates, it may be necessary to first reduce the target
flow rate to 30 L/min or below, to ensure the condensate drains into the
water chamber.
D. If condensate persists, consider turning the target temperature down.
• A lower target temperature will decrease the humidity output of the
AIRVO 2, decreasing the level of condensation.
Note: The temperature and humidity level delivered to the patient will also
be reduced.
