2 Introduction and Description
2.1 Purpose of the Elisée 150
The Elisée 150 is a valve ventilation device delivering both pressure and volumetric ventilation,
making it suitable for ventilating adult or child patients, at home and/or in a hospital setting.
It is not designed for neonatal ventilation and should not be used with circuits with a 10mm
diameter.
The circuit type chosen should be:
• 15mm in diameter for ventilation with a tidal volume between 50 and 300mL;
• 22mm in diameter for ventilation with a tidal volume > 300mL.
The device can be used with a single limb circuit and an expiratory valve, or with a double limb
circuit.
The Elisée 150 is designed to be used for both dependent and non-dependent patients.
This ventilator is fitted with an internal battery which is automatically used if the mains power
supply or external DC power supply is lost.
The Elisée 150 is designed to ensure that the patient is not affected by device malfunctions, using
a system of automatically triggered alarms.
However, it is preferable for the patient to have a backup means of ventilation close by.
Depending on the patient's condition, a backup Elisée 150 may need to be provided.

2.3 Description of power sources
The Elisée 150 can operate with four different power sources. The device automatically selects
the most secure available power source according to the following order of priority:
1. Mains AC voltage: 100-230VAC / 50-60Hz / 0.6-1A (mains power pack inserted in the Elisée
compartment).
2. DC voltage from an external source: 12-28VDC / 15A max.
3. External battery pack inside the external battery pack/mains power pack compartment.
4. Internal battery.
In the event of a power cut or if the mains power cord is disconnected, an audible and visual alarm
is activated. It can be stopped by pressing the Alarm Silence button .
Mains power pack
This pack is used for connecting the ventilator to the mains supply (see "Mains power pack" on
page 23).
Figure 2.7: Mains power pack.

This pack can also be used outside of its compartment, in which case it is connected to the
ventilator using the external power cord. This arrangement enables the ventilator to operate on
mains power and recharge the external battery at the same time (see "Figure 3.2: Connecting the
mains power pack outside of its compartment." on page 24 or see "Figure 3.4: Elisée 150 with
external battery pack and DC power source." on page 25).
Note: When powered using the external power cord, the ventilator treats this supply as an
external supply, not a mains supply.

External DC power supply
External power supply cord (mains 12-28 VDC power cord

power pack/Elisée connection)
Figure 2.8: External DC power cords.

An external DC power source (in a vehicule with 12-28V, 15A max.) can be used by connecting
the external power cord to the right side of the ventilator (see "Figure 3.3: 12-28VDC power cord,
connected." on page 24).
Note: The external DC power source must have a guaranteed life of at least one hour. If the
external power supply is less than 19 +/- 1V, the batteries will not be recharged.
18/174 NOT013189-6
External battery pack
Figure 2.9: Li-Ion external battery pack.

This battery pack is attached and removed in the same way as the mains power pack (see "Mains
power pack" on page 23).
This power supply takes priority over the internal battery.
Note: The external battery pack should be disconnected when the ventilator is switched off.
The external battery is recharged when the ventilator is connected to the mains power pack using
the external power cord or to an external DC supply (see "Figure 3.4: Elisée 150 with external
battery pack and DC power source." on page 25).
Note: When the external battery charge drops below 5%, the Elisée 150 switches to the
internal battery.
Internal battery
This battery is inside the ventilator. It is used when the ventilator is not connected to the mains
supply, to an external DC supply or to the external battery.
Whenever the ventilator is connected to an external power source (mains supply or external DC
supply) of more than 19 +/- 1V, the internal battery is automatically recharged.
Note: When the charge level falls below 15%, the Battery Low alarm is triggered. Within a
minimum of 5 minutes, this alarm is followed by the Battery Empty alarm (charge less than 5)
signalling that ventilation will stop.
Once ventilation has stopped, the device will shut down completely within a minimum of 5
minutes. During this time, connecting the device to a power source (other than the external
battery) will immediately restart ventilation.

Power status information
There are three LEDs on the top of the device showing the status of the power sources.

displayed on the screen).
Note: When the sensor is removed, the REPLACE O2 CELL alarm is triggered. Press the Alarm
Silence button once.
After removing the oxygen sensor, remember to insert the plug to prevent leaks.

3.3 Patient circuits and accessories
The Elisée 150 can be used with a single limb or a double limb patient circuit owing to its
interchangeable expiratory valve control system. To obtain the best results from this ventilation
system, a humidification system and/or antibacterial filters may be added.
The Elisée 150 ventilator is suitable for both adults and children. It is not designed for neonatal
ventilation and should not be used with circuits with a 10mm diameter.
The circuit type chosen should be:
• 15 mm in diameter for ventilation with a tidal volume between 50 and 300mL;
• 22 mm in diameter for ventilation with a tidal volume > 300mL.
Any single limb circuit with a water trap can be used with the Elisée 150, whether it is reusable
or for single use, provided that it complies exactly with the recommended circuit specifications.
You must perform a manual test whenever the patient circuit is modified (see "Manual test" on
page 65).
Note: The Elisée 150 automatically detects the patient circuit type and characteristics during the
manual test (see "Manual test" on page 65). A manual test should therefore be performed after
any changes to the circuit (type, brand, configuration, etc.).

Connection of the single limb circuit and double limb circuit
expiratory supports
There are two supports available:
• The single limb circuit support, to which the expiratory valve control and the proximal pressure
line can be connected.
Figure 3.6: Single limb circuit support.

• The double limb circuit support, to which the expiratory limb can be connected.
The supports connect directly to the left side of the ventilator.

3. Connect the proximal pressure line by fitting the hose onto the notched nipple.
Note: Depending on the circuit used, it may be necessary to cut off the tip of the proximal
pressure line.
4. Connect the inspiratory limb to the insufflation outlet.
Note: The pressure line must be located as close to the patient as possible. Measuring proximal
pressure improves insufflation pressure monitoring and pressure trigger sensitivity.
If an HME filter is added to the circuit, the proximal pressure line must be fitted between the
patient and the filter.

Expiratory trigger Tg Exp
The value which defines the end of an inspiratory phase. It can be expressed in two ways:
• In automatic mode: Automatic cycling allows the inspiratory time to be adapted to the flow
shape, and particularly to the V max.
An imaginary line (the dotted line in the diagram) is drawn from the point where the cycle
began to the point with the coordinates '3seconds; V max'.
Cycling occurs at the point where this imaginary line intersects with the flow curve.
• In manual mode (%): The expiratory trigger is expressed as a percentage of the maximum
flow.
The expiratory phase is triggered when the decreasing flow reaches the target percentage.

Inspiratory trigger TgI
The value which defines when an inspiratory phase is triggered. This trigger can be defined in
terms of flow or of pressure:
• Invasive inspiratory flow trigger TgI( V ): Operates with a double limb circuit only.
At the end of expiration, when the patient starts to inhale, the flow measured by the
expiratory sensor becomes lower than the flow measured by inspiratory sensor. The device
triggers an inspiratory phase when the difference between the flow measurements reaches
the set trigger value. The flow trigger is recommended for situations which require a very
sensitive trigger level.
• Invasive inspiratory pressure trigger TgI(P): Operates with a single or double limb circuit.
A depression in the respiratory circuit during the expiratory phase triggers the inspiratory
phase when the set trigger value is reached.
Figure 4.15: Invasive inspiratory triggers.

• Non-invasive inspiratory trigger TgI: Operates with a single or double limb circuit.
It operates according to the amplitude of the pressure variation when a patient inhales.
The operation of the trigger is based on an algorithm that analyses the differences in
expiratory pressure every 10ms, enabling detection of rapid and slow patient breathing.
The trigger also takes account of leaks in the circuit.
The most sensitive trigger value is 1.

the patient (VTE).

Figure 4.17: Tidal volume (VT).
Backup tidal volume VTS (mL)

This is the minimum tidal volume delivered in each cycle.
However, this volume cannot be delivered in the following situations:
• if the set threshold for the Pmax alarm is reached (the set Pmax value must be greater than
PS + PEEP + 5 hPa + 20%(PS + PEEP));
• if the required pressure is greater than PS (or P insp) + PEEP + 5 hPa + 20% × (PS(or P insp)
+ PEEP);
• if the required pressure is greater than 60hPa.
When the pressure is not sufficient to obtain an insufflated volume greater than or equal to the
backup tidal volume (VTS), in the following cycle the pressure support is increased to ensure the
backup tidal volume is delivered.
Note: 1hPa = 1mbar = 1.016cmH2O.

4.2 Ventilation modes
(Assisted) Controlled Ventilation ((A)CV and P(A)CV)
In (Assisted) Controlled Ventilation, the device delivers cycles with a fixed insufflation time and
set volume ((A)CV mode) or set pressure (P(A)CV mode).
In CV and PCV modes, cycles are triggered by the device (set respiratory rate). In ACV and PACV
modes, cycles can also be triggered by the patient (flow or pressure trigger) if the patient's
respiratory rate is higher than the set respiratory rate.
The inspiratory time is set by the device and is based on adjustable parameters.
In these modes, users can set recruitment cycles.
Note: When one or both of the inspiratory triggers are deactivated, ventilation changes from
Assisted Controlled Ventilation to Controlled Ventilation. In the space on the display where the
ventilation mode is shown, the "A" in ACV or PACV is greyed out.
(A)CV
Principle of (Assisted) Controlled Volume Ventilation
The course of a cycle

In (A)CV mode, cycles are flow-controlled during a fixed inspiratory time to ensure the set volume
is delivered. Controlled cycles are delivered according to the respiratory rate set by the user. In
ACV mode, assisted controlled cycles can be triggered by the patient over and above the set
respiratory rate.
Cycling occurs at the end of the inspiratory time set by the user. The inspiratory time can be set
in a variety of ways (see "Parameter options" on page 91).

It is important to set the high-pressure alarm (Pmax) to avoid the risk of barotrauma.

P(A)CV
Principle of (Assisted) Controlled Pressure Ventilation
The course of a cycle

In P(A)CV mode, cycles are pressure controlled. Flow is adjusted to maintain the set pressure
during the set inspiratory time. Controlled cycles are delivered according to the respiratory rate
set by the user. In PACV mode, assisted controlled cycles can be triggered by the patient over
and above the set respiratory rate.
The tidal volume and the minute volume are based on the resistance and compliance of the
patient's respiratory system.
The set P insp is added to the PEEP, so Total inspiratory pressure = Pinsp + PEEP.

Intermittent Assisted Controlled Ventilation (Synchronised
Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation) SIMV and PSIMV
In the Intermittent Assisted Controlled Ventilation modes, the device alternates between cycles
of assisted controlled ventilation (with regulated flow (SIMV) or regulated pressure (PSIMV)) and
spontaneous cycles with pressure support (PS) triggered by the patient.
This mode allows spontaneous breathing.
Principle
Controlled ventilation cycles (CC) are triggered according to the respiratory rate, or "mechanical
respiratory rate (frequency)" (Fmecha). The mechanical respiratory rate (frequency) dicates the
mechanical cycle time Tmecha (seconds) = 60/Fmecha. One minute of ventilation is therefore
divided into fixed mechanical cycle times, and the mechanical respiratory rate (frequency) is
unchanged.
To allow patient-ventilator synchronisation, a triggering window (Wsync) of assisted controlled
cycles (ACC) is defined before the start of each controlled ventilation cycle. This window lasts for
5 seconds in adult mode and 1.5 seconds in paediatric mode. If the patient triggers a cycle during
this window, or zone, the cycle will be an assisted controlled cycle (ACC) with either the pressure
(PSIMV) or the volume (SIMV) regulated (zone 1).
Following each trigger window (Wsync) (assisted or controlled), is an interval of time (WVS) during
which the patient can trigger a cycle of spontaneous ventilation with pressure support (5 cmH2O
minimum) (zone 3). The delivered cycle will be a pressure support cycle. The parameters for the
cycles of spontaneous ventilation with pressure support (PS) can be adjusted.
Cycles of spontaneous ventilation are always delivered with pressure support. If pressure support
was not provided with spontaneous ventilation, the patient would have to work harder to
overcome the resistance of the tubing and the ventilator. By adding a minimum pressure support
of 5 - 8cmH2O, the ventilator can effectively relieve the patient of the portion of the respiratory
effort needed to overcome the combined resistance of the machine-circuit-filter-water trap.
If after an assisted controlled cycle (ACC) is triggered the patient does not trigger a cycle within
the next trigger window (Wsync), the Elisée 150 will deliver a controlled cycle based on the
mechanical respiratory rate (frequency) (Fmecha) defined by the user (zone 2). This means that
the expiratory time (Texp) of the assisted controlled cycle is extended by the anticipated time ΔT
allowed prior to triggering of the controlled cycle. The set mechanical respiratory rate (frequency)
remains unchanged.
However, the value of ΔT is limited by the value of ΔTmax: 5s for adult ventilation, 1.5s for
paediatric ventilation.

Note: In zone 1, the patient can trigger only assisted controlled cycles (ACC), and only within the
synchronisation window (Wsync).
Depending on the respiratory rate and the I/E ratio settings, if the expiratory time is less than the
length of the Wsync (5s or 1.5s), the Wsync will last for the whole of the expiratory phase. The
patient will not be able to trigger cycles of spontaneous ventilation with pressure support
between controlled cycles (PS).

Figure 4.23: SIMV mode.

Note: In adult ventilation for example, it is important to use this mode with a respiratory rate of
less than 10 bpm if you want to keep a window for triggering spontaneous ventilation with
pressure support (WVS).
At that respiratory rate, the cycle time is 6s (60/10). If you set a Ti of 1.2 s, the Te will be 4.8s.
This means that Te < 5s (Wsync) and so the WVS value is zero.
With a respiratory rate of 8bpm and an inspiratory time of 1.2s, the Te will be 6.3s, leaving
1.30s available for the WVS.

Note:
• During SIMV it is important that you monitor the level of pressure in the patient's airway
through the high pressure alarm, to avoid barotrauma.
• During PSIMV, for both assisted controlled cycles and spontaneous cycles with pressure
support, the tidal volume is not set but results from the set pressure gradient and from the
patient's respiratory mechanics. It is therefore important that you monitor the inspiratory and
expiratory spirometry through the high and low VTI and high and low minute volume alarms.

Spontaneous ventilation (PS.SV (PS) and PS.VT)
The Elisée 150 offers two modes of spontaneous ventilation: pressure support with backup
volume and pressure support with minimum volume. Both modes include apnea ventilation as
backup ventilation for the patient.
PS.SV (PS)
Principle of Pressure support
Pressure support is a pressure mode which supports the patient's spontaneous respiration.
Inspiratory phase
Once it has detected that the patient is inhaling, the Elisée 150 pressurizes the inspiratory circuit
to reach the target pressure. The time taken to reach this pressure depends on the Slope setting,
which determines the peak flow delivered by the device.
In the pressure maintenance phase the flow is delivered and adjusted according to the patient’s
needs and the resistance and compliance of the patient’s respiratory system.
The start of each cycle is triggered by the patient.
However, the Elisée 150 has a backup rate setting (Fmini): if the number of cycles triggered by
the patient is less than the backup rate, support cycles will be triggered by the device.
PS.SV (PS) mode also allows you to set an apnea time, at the end of which the ventilator
switches to apnea ventilation if the patient does not trigger a cycle (see "Principle of Apnea
ventilation" on page 62). The patient can still trigger a cycle after the device has commenced
apnea ventilation. If the patient triggers three consecutive cycles, ventilation switches back to
pressure support.
Note: Apnea ventilation is available only when "Fmini = No".
A backup tidal volume VTS can be set: the ventilator increases the level of pressure cycle by cycle
until this volume is reached. In this case, the set level of pressure support will be ignored.
However, if the pressure required to reach the backup volume is greater than "PS max = PS +
PEEP + 5hPa + 20%(PS + PEEP) of the target pressure support" or is greater than 60hPa or the
Pmax value reached (the set Pmax value must be higher than the PS max value), the backup
volume will not be able to be delivered. The new level of pressure support is reached by
increments of PS max - (PS/2), until VTI = VTS.
Note: 1 hPa = 1 mbar = 1.016cmH2O.

Expiratory phase
The device cycles into the expiratory phase:
• When the expiratory trigger setting is reached. The setting may be:
• based on the peak flow drop (Scenario No. 1);
• an automatic setting based on the intersection of the flow curve with the 3s line
(Scenario No. 2).
• If the set pressure of 2cmH2O is exceeded during the decreasing flow stage, the patient may

Principle of pressure support with minimum tidal volume
Inspiratory phase
The start of each cycle is triggered by the patient. However, the Elisée 150 has a backup rate
setting (Fmini): if the number of cycles triggered by the patient is less than the backup rate,
support cycles will be triggered by the device.
PS.VT mode also allows an apnea time to be set, at the end of which the ventilator commences
apnea ventilation if the patient does not trigger a cycle (see "Principle of Apnea ventilation" on
page 62). The patient can still trigger a cycle after the device has commenced apnea ventilation.
If the patient triggers three consecutive cycles, ventilation switches back to pressure support.
Apnea ventilation is available only when "Fmini = No".
The delivered cycle begins with pressure support ventilation. The Elisée 150 constantly
calculates, from the VT already delivered and the inspiratory time remaining, whether the target
minimum tidal volume (VT) will be able to be delivered.
If it calculates that the target minimum VT will be reached, the Elisée 150 continues the cycle in
pressure support mode (see "Figure 4.26: PS.VT curve - Minimum tidal volume (Vt) delivered
without switching to volumetric mode." on page 59). However, if it calculates that the VT will not
be reached by staying in pressure support mode, the ventilator will switch to volumetric mode.
The Elisée 150 then delivers the remaining part of the minimum tidal volume while maintaining a
constant flow at an appropriate level until the target minimum tidal volume is reached (see "Figure
4.27: PS.VT curve - Minimum tidal volume delivered with switch to volumetric mode." on page
60). Switching to volumetric mode means that the set pressure will be exceeded during that cycle
in order for the minimum tidal volume to be delivered. Setting a Pmax alarm value limits the
extent to which the set pressure will be exceeded.
Note: To ensure optimum comfort, the minimum VT should be set to a lower value than the VTE
established in pressure support mode. If it is set too close to the established VTE, a volumetric
mode will be triggered too often. This note is only an indication; the minimum VT should be set
based on a balance between benefit and comfort.
V
t
Figure 4.26: PS.VT curve - Minimum tidal volume (VT) delivered without switching to volumetric
mode.
The target minimum tidal volume is delivered through pressure support alone. The ventilator
doesn't switch to volumetric mode while in PS.VT mode. The inspiratory flow progressively
reduces until the expiratory trigger threshold is reached.

Figure 4.27: PS.VT curve - Minimum tidal volume delivered with switch to volumetric mode.
Based on its analysis of the fixed pressure support and Ti Max parameters, the device detects,
during the course of the cycle, that the target minimum tidal volume VT cannot be delivered. The
device then activates volumetric mode during the cycle. A constant ventilatory flow is calculated
and delivered until Ti Max is reached.
The so-called "volumetric" or "controlled flow" phase occurs between vertical lines 1 and 2.
Circle A shows the peak in pressure, which is higher than the set pressure. Circle B shows the
phase during which the device maintains a constant flow, until the end of the Ti.
Caution
! In certain situations, the minimum VT cannot be delivered:
• when the delivered pressure reaches the Pmax value;
• when certain parameter settings are reached (low Ti, low PS and high VT).

Figure 4.28: Minimum tidal volume (Vt) calculation in PS.VT mode.

At any given moment:
Ti Max - Ti(inst) = Trem
where
Trem = time remaining in the cycle
The following calculation is constantly applied to determine whether maintaining the
instantaneous flow ( Vinst) until the end of the cycle will allow a volume higher than the target
minimum tidal volume to be reached.
V inst x Trem > minimum VT – delivered VT
As soon as this expression ceases to be true, the calculated instantaneous flow must be
maintained until the end of the cycle to ensure the target minimum VT is reached.
Expiratory phase
When the cycle is entirely spontaneous (the device does not switch to volumetric mode), cycling
to expiration occurs in the same way as in PS.SV (PS) mode (see "Figure 4.25: Expiratory phases
in PS.SV (PS) mode." on page 57):
• When the expiratory trigger setting is reached; the setting may be:
• based on the peak flow drop (Scenario No. 1);
• an automatic setting based on the intersection of the flow curve with the 3 second line
(Scenario No. 2).
• If the set pressure of 2cmH2O is exceeded during the decreasing flow stage, the patient may
have initiated active exhalation (Scenario No. 3).
• When the maximum inspiratory time set by the user is reached (Scenario No. 4), if none of
the above conditions are met. This scenario can occur if there are leaks in the circuit, or if the
flow doesn't decrease sufficiently to reach the expiratory trigger setting.
When the ventilator switches to volumetric mode (constant ventilatory flow) in order to reach the
target tidal volume within the time allowed (Ti Max), cycling occurs:
• at the end of the maximum inspiratory time (Ti Max).
• or if the pressure in the circuit reaches the Pmax safety threshold and the inspiratory flow is
maintained at a constant level, causing a peak in pressure.
Generally speaking, this function provides a high level of safety, particularly for patients receiving
invasive ventilation. The purpose of this mode is to address the main disadvantage of PS.SV (PS)

mode: being unable to deliver a minimum VT in each cycle when the patient's inspiratory effort is
reduced, the patient's compliance is altered and/or the patient's resistance is increased.

Principle of Apnea ventilation

At the end of the apnea time (set Tapnea, timed from the start of the expiratory phase), if the
patient has not breathed, the ventilator switches to backup apnea ventilation. This ventilation can
be either pressure or volumetric.
The adjustable parameters are:
• in volumetric mode: apnea time (Tapnea), tidal volume (VT), respiratory rate (F) and inspiratory
time (Ti) (or V max or I/E).
• in pressure mode: apnea time (Tapnea), inspiratory pressure (P insp.), respiratory rate (F) and
inspiratory time (Ti).
Note: During apnea ventilation the patient can still trigger a pressure support cycle through the
inspiratory trigger. If the patient triggers three consecutive cycles, the apnea ventilation will
change to pressure support ventilation.

circuit compliances and O2 sensor gain.
Note: This test checks the O2 sensor; if the sensor is found to be faulty, a message will appear
at the bottom of the test results screen.
These measurements must be performed with all the accessories that will be used during
ventilation (expiratory valve, water trap, humidifier, etc.). Every time an accessory is added or
removed, this test must be repeated.
Caution
! The event log records the time and results of each manual test.
Warning
! During the test, the ventilator must not be connected to the patient.
If the test is unsuccessful, stop using the ventilator and contact the technician.

5.3 Programming ventilation options
The Elisée 150 allows you to save two sets of ventilation parameters. From the main clinical
screen you can modify the P1 and P2 programs (if the P2 activation option is set to yes,
see "Parameter options screen" on page 91) or set the parameters for one or more ventilation
options for a new patient.
When you have entered a program you can make the desired modifications. These modifications
are automatically saved when you exit the clinical screens.
Caution
! When the clinician enters the parameters for a new patient ventilation with the P2 activation
option selected, the parameters are saved in both P1 and P2. The parameter and alarm
settings are then saved in P1, whereas the parameter settings recorded in P2 will be the
default values.

Description of the parameter options
BTPS correction
When ventilating a patient, you must correct the BTPS (body temperature, ambient pressure,
saturated with water vapour). The correction is applied only to the measured expiratory volume
(VTE). This option must be deactivated for ventilation not involving a patient. Measurements are
taken in ATPD (ambient temperature and pressure, dry) conditions.
This option is activated by default. It is deactivated when the technical menu is accessed.
P2 activation
Allows you to program two ventilation options (P1 and P2). The patient can choose one of these
ventilation options. When the clinician configures a new patient ventilation with the P2 activation
option selected, the new configuration is saved in both P1 and P2.
Ti, max flow and I/E settings in volumetric (ACV) mode

This option allows the clinician to choose the set parameter to be used in volumetric ventilation.
The available options are inspiratory time (Ti), maximum flow ( V max) and I/E ratio.
Note: Modifying any one of these parameters can change the ventilation settings.

7 Alarms
7.1 Monitoring the alarms

To ensure the patient's safety, when an alarm is triggered the user is alerted by:
• An audible alert: the alert depends on the alarm priority. The beeps are made by two buzzers
(86dBA at 1m and 78dBA at 3m) and a digital sound system with adjustable volume.
• Visual alerts:
• The name of the triggered alarm is displayed at the top of the touch screen;
• In clinical mode, the alarm page icon flashes;
• In clinical mode, on the alarm page, the threshold responsible for triggering the alarm
flashes;
• One of the two LEDs on the front of the Elisée 150 flashes (red or orange depending on the
priority of the triggered alarm).

Alarms are also divided into three categories according to whether or not they can be turned off:
• Audible alarms which cannot be turned off.
• Audible alarms which can be turned off temporarily.
Pressing the Alarm Silence button blocks the audible alert for 120 seconds. The visual alarm
remains activated.
• Audible alarms which can be turned off.
Pressing the Alarm Silence button turns off the audible and visual alerts.
Note: The user cannot change the alarm priority.
Silencing audible alarms

To prevent alarms being triggered during an aspiration procedure on the patient, press the Alarm
Silence button to prevent audible alarms from being triggered for two minutes.
During this time any triggered alarms will be detectable only through the alarm message
displayed on the screen. The following symbol shows that audible alarms have been blocked
for two minutes. Press this button again to unmute the alarms.

9 Technical Specifications and Description
9.1 Technical description and operation
Technical description
Caution
! This section is intended for qualified technicians trained by ResMed.
The Elisée 150 is a volumetric and pressure ventilator. The air flow is generated by a turbine from
ambient air flowing through the air inlet. The Elisée 150 can therefore operate without a
pressurised air supply. Closed-loop control between the turbine and a valve allows the pressure
and the volume of air delivered to the patient to be monitored accurately.
The low-pressure oxygen port allows enrichment of delivered air.
The ventilator body consists of a printed circuit board and a pressurised air assembly connected
to a turbine.
Printed circuit board

Controls the operation of the ventilator through the main microcontroller. The main
microcontroller controls:
• Power supply switching;
• Ventilation measurements and controls;
• Alarms;
• User interfaces.
A second microcontroller monitors the activity of the main microcontroller.
Pressurised air assembly

The pressurised air assembly consists of:
• A main turbine for ventilation;
• A PEEP microturbine to maintain positive end expiratory pressure;
• A rotary slide valve providing closed-loop control of flow rates and pressures;
• An I/E solenoid valve which controls the inspiratory and expiratory phases;
• A spontaneous inspiration valve.

Operation of the ventilator

Outside air is sucked in through an anti-dust filter.
It may be enriched with oxygen using the low-pressure oxygen port (max 400kPa). The FiO2 is
monitored using a dedicated chemical sensor (if the oxygen monitoring option is activated).
The turbine then compresses the oxygen/air mixture. The turbine enables closed-loop control of
the required pressures and flow rates.
The turbine speed is regulated by the microprocessor on the basis of the set parameters. It is
controlled either by the inspiratory flow sensor in the volumetric modes, or by the proximal
pressure sensor in the pressure modes.
At the turbine outlet, a valve controlled by a stepper motor accurately controls the level and shape
of air pressure and flow.
An I/E solenoid valve controls the expiratory valve, which in turn controls the inspiratory and
expiratory times.
There is also a microturbine which can generate a counter-pressure during the expiratory phase
to maintain the level of PEEP.
A sensor dedicated to triggering detects pressure demands.
For safety reasons, an inspiratory valve allows the patient to breathe spontaneously regardless of
the status of the ventilator.
A temperature sensor monitors increases in internal temperature, and controls the cooling fans.
Two solenoid valves (auto offset) enable automatic recalibration of the inspiratory flow sensor
offset.

Pressure
• Maximum pressure:
• 60hPa (= 60.96cmH2O) in volumetric ventilation;
• 60hPa (= 60.96cmH2O) in pressure ventilation.
To obtain these maximum pressures:

• For pressure ventilation:
Set up PACV with Pinsp = 50cmH2O and PEEP = 10cmH2O, and connect a double limb
patient circuit fitted with a Maquet lung test to the device. Start ventilation.
• For volumetric ventilation:
Set up adult, non-invasive ACV and set VT = 0.65L and Pmax alarm = 60hPa (=
60.96cmH2O). Connect a double limb patient circuit and block the other end. Start
ventilation and check that the HP alarm is triggered.
• Maximum pressure in single-fault conditions: 70hPa (= 71.12cmH2O).
• Negative pressure during exhalation: None.
• The High Pressure alarm is triggered when the inspiratory proximal pressure is higher than
the High Pressure alarm threshold.
• As a safety feature, if the turbine output pressure is greater than 60 – 70hPa (= 61.0 –
71.1cmH2O), the 30V power supply to the turbine is cut. This is achieved by means of an
electronic pressure switch which is independent of both the microprocessor and the proximal
pressure sensor.

Implicit (calculated) parameters
Some parameters are adjustable, while others are calculated from the adjustable parameters. The
latter are implicit parameters (e.g. Ti and F are adjustable parameters; the implicit setting
Te = 60/F – Ti).
The adjustable parameters are: Max flow ( Vmax), Ti, Te and I/E.
Note: Ti, I/E and Vmax can be either adjustable or implicit parameters depending on the original
configuration selected for the volumetric modes (parameter options). If a beep sounds while the
user is setting the parameters, it means the I/E ratio has been inverted because of an
adjustment to one of the parameters.

Total inspiratory pressure control

The threshold for total inspiratory pressure is: Pressure support + PEEP = 60cmH2O, or Pinsp. +
PEEP = 60cmH2O, or Pinsp. + Precruit. + PEEP = 60cmH2O.
It is impossible to set a pressure higher than this value; even if a value higher than 60cmH2O is
displayed, this limitation is always observed.
