Medtronic Puritan Bennett 980 Ventilator NIV Plus Software User guide

  • Hello, I'm your chat assistant. I've reviewed the Quick Reference Guide for the Puritan Bennett 980 Ventilator, focusing on its NIV+ software. This document details the ventilator’s interface calibration process, its ability to measure pressures, and how it assesses neonatal ventilation efficiency. I'm ready to address your questions about this device and its operation.
  • What is the purpose of the NIV+ software?
    What calibration does the NIV+ software include?
    What does the NIV+ calibration provide?
    What is the first step in performing interface calibration?
The Puritan Bennett™ 980 ventilator includes NIV+
software. It works with NeoMode 2.0 software to
provide a NIV+ calibration function on the Puritan
Bennett™ 980 ventilator’s more settings screen.
This NIV+ calibration is supplemental to but not
a substitute for the SST.
KEY FEATURES
The NIV+ software is designed to measure end
inspiratory and end expiratory pressures at
the patient interface. This provides valuable
information to the clinician and may reduce the
uncertainty around eective pressure delivery
to the patient. It also provides a robust means of
determining disconnect, especially when leaks are
present. The NIV+ software:
∙ Includes interface calibration for prongs
and mask
∙ Provides monitored data values that reect end
inspiratory (PI END IF) and end expiratory (PEEPIF)
pressures on the patient side of the
NIV interface
∙ Assesses eciency of neonatal ventilation with
varying interfaces
PERFORMING AN
INTERFACE CALIBRATION
1. Ensure the Puritan Bennett™ 980 ventilator is in
the “Waiting for patient connect,” “Stand-by,”
or “Disconnect”.
2. With the NIV ventilation type selected,
touch the More Settings tab.
3. Touch the Calibrate button for the NIV
Interface Cal.
4. Remove the proximal ow and ETCO2 sensors
from the patient connection port of the
breathing circuit. Make sure the port is open
to the air.
5. Connect the neonatal NIV interface to the
breathing circuit.
6. Position the NIV interface similarly to how it will
be positioned on the patient.

7. Ensure that the patient connection portion
of the interface is open to air.
8. Select the interface to be calibrated.
9. Touch Conrm.
10. Keep the breathing circuit and interface still
and in a position that simulates patient use
until the calibration is nished.

This guide is provided as a convenience companion document to the Operator’s Manual
and the IFU. It is not intended to replace the Operator’s Manual or the IFU, which should
always be available while using the ventilator. It is important to familiarize yourself with all
information in the Operator’s Manual relevant to your institution’s use of the ventilator,
including on-screen help instructions, warnings, and cautions.
11. Check that Calibration Status is PASSED.
12. Touch Accept.

13. Ensure that ventilation and alarm settings are
clinically appropriate.
14. Connect the interface to the patient and
ensure that ventilation begins.
Note: The NIV+ software on the Puritan Bennett™
980 plus ventilator can store one prong and one
mask calibration.
