Airway Pressure
The Airway Pressure display is a bar of LEDs that is used to display the real-time airway circuit
pressure. The displayed pressures range from -10 cmH2O to 100 cmH2O in increments of 2 cmH2O. In
addition to displaying the real-time airway pressure, a single LED may be lit showing the Peak
Inspiratory Pressure of the previous breath when the PIP LED ON setting is selected in the extended
features.
When the PIP Displayed control setting is ON, the Airway Pressure bar graph display marks a breath’s
peak inspiratory pressure during the breath’s exhalation phase.

Display Window
The display window is a 12 character, 5x7 dot matrix array that is used to display alarms, monitored
data, and Extended Features menu items. Messages are displayed with the following priorities (highest
to lowest):
1. Control Locked message
2. Active Alarms
3. De-activated alarms
4. Control limiting messages
5. Battery Status messages (from pressing Battery Check)
6. Extended Features menu items
7. Monitored Data

Indicators
The following sections describe the LED indicators on the front panel that do not have associated front
panel controls.

Patient Effort
This LED is lit briefly each time a patient trigger is detected.

Alarm Status
Alarms have three priority levels. The LTV2 has a bi-color LED (red and yellow) to visually indicate the
priority of an alarm. When multiple active alarms exist at the same time, alarm messages are displayed
in the display window in order of priority.
For more information on ventilator alarms, see “Chapter 9:–Ventilator Alarms.”

Power Source
In addition to the external power source (an AC wall power adapter, for example) the LTV2 2200 and
2150 ventilators are capable of running from an internal (fixed) battery and a removable battery.
The Power Source LED will be illuminated to indicate from which source the LTV2 2200/2150 is
drawing power.
• External Power
• Removable Battery
• Internal Battery
The External Power indicator will illuminate if the ventilator is using an external power source (an AC
power adapter or external power source).
The Internal Battery indicator will illuminate (solid on) if the ventilator is using the internal battery and
will flash if the internal battery is being charged. The Removable Battery indicator will illuminate (solid
on) if the ventilator is using the LTV2’s removable battery and will flash if the removable battery is being
charged. These LEDs only indicate power source and do not indicate charge level status.

WARNING
Battery run time. When the battery reaches the IntBat LOW level, the ventilator will only run for
approximately ten minutes before generating an internal battery empty alarm (IntBat EMPTY). The
approximate times shown here are based on tests using the nominal settings, a new battery and a
full charge cycle as specified in “Appendix A:–Ventilator Specifications.” Actual run time may be
more or less depending on ventilator settings, patient demand, and battery age or condition. It is
highly recommended that an alternate power source is connected BEFORE the ventilator reaches the
IntBat EMPTY alarm condition to ensure continuous, uninterrupted patient ventilation.

If the LTV2 2200/2150 ventilator is operated on its removable and/or internal batteries to the point that
they are completely depleted, the ventilator will shut down.

CAUTION
AC Power Source. Only use the approved LTV2 AC Power Adapter, when connecting the ventilator
to an AC power source.
External DC Power Source or External Battery. Only use the approved method and connectors
specified in “Chapter 14:–Power and Battery Operation,” when connecting the LTV2 2200/2150
ventilator to an external DC power source or external battery.
Internal Battery Use. The length of time the ventilator will operate on internal power is a function of
many factors such as settings, charge level and condition or age of the battery; therefore, prolonged
use of the internal battery as a standard operating practice is not recommended.
