Specifications

Front Panel Controls:  Ventilator Settings; Ventilator Rate; PIP (Peak Inspiratory Pressure); PEEP/CPAP; Inspiratory Time; Flow Rate (Mandatory Breath); Background Flow; Manual Breath; Proximal Airway Pressure:; Mean Airway Pressure; I:E Ratio; Expiratory Time; Duration Positive Pressure
Power Requirements:  Pneumatic Power: Air and/or Oxygen; 35 to 90 psig (241 to 621 kPa); Electrical Power: The Infant Star is continously powered by a 12-volt battery maintained fully charged when attached to AC power. During loss of AC power, the ventilator will continue to run for a minimum of 30 minutes. 90 to 105 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 100 watts; 105 to 127 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 100 watts; 198 to 264 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 100 watts; External 12 VDC Input; 11.8 V to 18 V @ 5 amps source; Battery Recharge Time; 1 hour (ventilator not in use); 1.5 hours (ventilator in use)
Alarms:  General System Failure; Additional General System Alarms; High Peak Pressure; Low Peak Pressure; Low PEEP/CPAP; Apnea (optional);
Alarm Controls:  High Inspiratory Pressure: 5 to 105 cmH2O (maximum setting = PIP + 15 cmH2O); Low Inspiratory Pressure: 3 to 60 cmH2O
Non-Adjustable Alarms:  Airway Leak; Obstructed Tube Alarms; HIP Alarm setting; Obstructed expiratory limb; High expiratory resistance; High PEEP/CPAP; Obstructed inspiratory limb or prox. Line; Insufficient Expiratory Time; Ventilator Inop + Error Code; Low O2 Pressure;Low PEEP/CPAP: Detects drop in PEEP/CPAP > 2 cmH2O; Airway Leak: Detects gross leaks in patient circuit; Obstructed Tube Alarms: AO1: HIP Alarm setting; AO2: Obstructed expiratory limb; 5 cmH2O above HIP Alarm setting; AO3: High expiratory resistance; <50% drop from PIP to PEEP within minimum expiratory time; AO4: High PEEP/CPAP; PEEP/CPAP +6 cmH2O for 5 seconds; AO5: Obstructed inspiratory limb or proximal line; 10 cmH2O about HIP Alarm setting; Insufficient Expiratory Time: Preset at 0.2 seconds or 0.3 seconds (determined by rate); Ventilator Inop + Error code: Malfunction detected by microprocessor diagnostics; Low O2 Pressure: Less than 35 psig (241 kPa) O2 pressure; Low Air Pressure: Less than 35 psig (241 kPa) air pressure; Low Battery: Imminent loss of battery power (5 min); External Power Loss: AC power loss - internal battery in use Low Air Pressure; Low Battery; External Power Loss
Other Specifications:  Alarms are classified by urgency.
