20 EN Overview
2. Description

2.1 Intended use

The MEDUMAT Transport is an automatic oxygen ventilator with additional preoxygen-
ation and monitoring functions (pressure, flow and CO2).
MEDUMAT Transport is used for the controlled and assisted, as well as invasive and non-inva-
sive, ventilation of adults, children, and infants. In the case of volume-controlled ventilation,
tidal volumes of 50 ml or more are possible. Smaller tidal volumes are also possible in the
case of pressure-controlled ventilation.
MEDUMAT Transport must only be operated when installed permanently or on approved por-
table systems.

2.2 Applications
MEDUMAT Transport can be used in the following cases for up to 30 days:

Emergency
• for resuscitation at the place of the emergency
• for longer-tem use in continuing emergency situations
• for preoxygenation via a ventilation mask
• for inhalation via an oxygen mask or nasal cannula

Transport
• in ground, sea and air emergency medical service
• between hospital rooms and departments
• between a hospital and other locations (secondary transport)

Ventilation in hospitals
• recovery room
• intensive care unit
• surgery preparation and follow-up
• emergency department
MEDUMAT Transport is also suitable for gentle ventilation of anesthetized patients (TIVA:
total intravenous anesthesia).

Description EN 21
2.3 Operator and user qualification
MEDUMAT Transport must only be used by persons who can verify that they have the
following qualifications:
• A medical qualification and training in ventilation techniques
• Training in the use of the MEDUMAT Transport by a person authorized
by WEINMANN Emergency
Improper use may lead to serious physical injury.
As the operator or user, you must be fully familiar with the correct operation of this medical
device. Observe the statutory requirements for operation and use (in Germany, particularly
the German regulations governing owners/operators of medical devices (MPBetreibV)).
General recommendation: You should seek instruction on the correct handling, use and
operation of this medical device from a person authorized by WEINMANN Emergency.

2.4 Function
The unit
MEDUMAT Transport is used to treat apnea and to provide respiratory support. By means
of adjustable ventilation parameters, the unit ensures uniform ventilation tailored to the
patient.
Pressure-controlled and volume-controlled ventilation modes can be selected for optimum
patient ventilation.
In CPAP + ASB mode, the unit enables assisted spontaneous breathing with continuous
positive airway pressure and respiration-controlled oxygen inhalation. In addition, the unit
permits O2 inhalation for preoxygenating the patient.
The unit allows the oxygen concentration of the respiratory gas to be adjusted.
Depending on the version, the unit's large display can show up to three spirometric curves
(pressure, flow and CO2) or two curves and additional measured values.
For emergency situations, rapid selection of default types of ventilation is possible.
With the data communication option enabled, the device can transmit its application data
to an application documentation system via Bluetooth.

22 EN Description
Patient Hose System
The ventilation gas is supplied to the patient via the Patient Hose System, comprising the
ventilation hose and all leads necessary for comprehensive ventilation and monitoring.
The Patient Hose System is designed to permit spontaneous respiration even if the
MEDUMAT Transport malfunctions.
The following versions of the patient hose system are available:
• Reusable hose system with CO2 measuring hose
• Reusable hose system without CO2 measuring hose
• Disposable hose system with CO2 measuring hose
• Disposable hose system without CO2 measuring hose
• Disposable hose system with reduced dead space with CO2 measuring
hose
• Disposable hose system with reduced dead space without CO2
measuring hose
• Disposable hose system with reduced dead space with CO2 measuring
hose for adults and children
• Disposable hose system with reduced dead space without CO2
measuring hose for adults and children

Hygiene input filter (optional)

For ventilation in a contaminated atmosphere, MEDUMAT Transport can be used with a
hygiene input filter. This protects the device from viral and bacterial contamination.

Inhalation adapter
The ventilation gas can alternatively be supplied to the patient via the inhalation adapter
and the inhalation hose. During inhalation the measuring ports on the device are blocked
by a cover so the device does not take in ambient air.

Description EN 23
3. Safety information
Read these instructions for use carefully. It is part of the unit and must be available at all
times.
For your own safety and that of your patients, and in accordance with the requirements of
Directive 93/42/EEC, please observe the following points:

General
• Always carry out a functional check before using the unit
(see "10. Function check" on page 115).
• Please observe the section "9. Hygienic preparation" on page 109 in
order to avoid infection or bacterial contamination.

Warning!
• Risk of injury. Only use MEDUMAT Transport if you are a qualified
medical professional and have received training in respiration
techniques. Improper use may lead to serious physical injury.
• Risk of injury. Never leave the patient or the ventilator unattended during
ventilation. Only then can you respond quickly if the patient's condition
deteriorates or in the event of an alarm or malfunction. Delayed response
on the part of medical personnel may lead to serious physical injury.
• Risk of injury from deactivated alarm LED, deactivated acoustic alarm
output and darkened display in NVG mode!
The alarms are barely perceptible as a result of the deactivated alarm
LED, the deactivated acoustic alarm output and the darkened display in
NVG mode. This can injure the patient.
– Always monitor the patient during ventilation.
– Only use the NVG option in the military sector.
• Only use MEDUMAT Transport for the designated purpose
(see "2.1 Intended use" on page 21).
• MEDUMAT Transport is not suitable for hyperbaric use (pressure
chamber).
• The unit is not licensed for use in explosive atmospheres. The unit must
not be used in combination with flammable gases or anesthetics.
• The unit is not licensed for use in poisonous atmospheres.
• Only operate the unit in a contaminated atmosphere with a hygiene in-
put filter.

24 EN Safety information
• Only operate the unit with a filter compartment cover or hygiene input
filter to prevent any liquids from entering the unit.
• Always keep the air inlet openings on the filter compartment cover or the
suction inlets on the hygiene input filter clear.
• Only have modifications to the unit carried out by the manufacturer,
WEINMANN Emergency, or by a technician expressly authorized by
WEINMANN Emergency.

Caution!
• Do not place a switched-on cellular phone or radio closer than 1 m from

Safe handling of oxygen
Warning!
• Risk of explosion! In combination with combustible substances (grease,
oil, alcohol etc.), highly compressed oxygen may give rise to spontaneous
explosive reactions.
• Risk of fire! If only the O2/AIR inlet/outlet is used, close the O2/AIR inlet
on the side with a suitable cap. Otherwise, gas will escape from the O2/
AIR inlet on the side.
• Risk of poisoning! Highly concentrated oxygen can have a toxic effect on
the patient if administered for too long and depending on the age of the
patient. When ventilating with pure oxygen or an oxygen-air mixture,
make sure that oxygen is only administered for an appropriate period.
• Keep the units and all screwed unions absolutely free from oil and
grease.
• Be sure to wash your hands before working on the oxygen supply.
• Smoking and open flames are strictly prohibited in the vicinity of fittings
containing oxygen.

Caution!
• When assembling the unit, and when changing cylinders, tighten all
screwed unions on the oxygen cylinder and pressure reducer by hand
only. Never use tools. Overtightening damages the threads and seals,
resulting in leaks.
• Secure the oxygen cylinders so that they cannot fall over. If a cylinder falls
on the pressure reducer or valve, these could break off, causing a violent
explosion.
• Risk of insufficient oxygen supply! Two oxygen sources can be connected
to this unit simultaneously. Make sure that only one oxygen source is
open at any given time and that there is no gas reflux. Otherwise, one of
the oxygen sources may empty itself unnoticed. Sufficient oxygen supply
to the patient can then no longer be guaranteed when the unit is in use.
• Always open the cylinder valve slowly to prevent pressure hammer on the
fittings.
• Do not empty oxygen cylinders completely, as this may allow moist
ambient air to enter and cause corrosion.

26 EN Safety information
Ventilation/Handling
Caution!
• The USB port on the device must only be used for the application scenarios
outlined in the instructions for use. Only USB sticks which conform to the
USB standard 2.0 should be inserted in the USB port, otherwise this
interferes with operation of the unit, putting the patient at risk.
• Patient and ventilator must be kept under continuous observation during
ventilation.
• Prolonged ventilation can lead to atrophy of the muscles (dependency of
the patient on ventilation).
• Prolonged ventilation may lead to the airway drying out. Ensure
adequate conditioning of the respiratory gas.
• Only apply high ventilation pressures for short periods and only if
medically indicated. Permanently applied high ventilation pressures can
be injurious to the patient.
• Make sure that the patient valve is not covered or its function impaired,
e.g. by the patient's position.
• The patient hose systems for the device have different dead spaces.
Please take the dead space into consideration when selecting the
ventilation parameters, particularly when ventilating infants with very
small tidal volumes. Otherwise, there is a risk of insufficient ventilation.
• Do not place the patient valve of the disposable hose system with
reduced dead space near the O2/Air inlet of the MEDUMAT Transport,
in order to prevent the device sucking in CO2.
• Please note that the inspiratory resistance of a disposable hose system
with reduced dead space increases during adult ventilation.
• Please note that the use of additional accessories between the ventilation
hose and patient (e.g., humidifiers, nebulizers, and goosenecks) increas-
es the dead space.
• The device is not suitable for the ventilation of premature babies (born
before the end of the 36th week of pregnancy).
• Please note that if concentrator oxygen with an oxygen concentration
outside of the specifications is used (see 14.1, page 142), the tolerances
specified for the O2 measurement may also vary.
• Risk of injury from switching on a device with activated NVG mode
during daylight or without a night vision device!
A device with activated NVG mode cannot be used straight away during
daylight or without a night vision device. This can injure the patient.
– Keep an alternative ventilation unit at the ready.

Safety information EN 27
 • When performing ventilation with a tidal volume Vt < 200 ml, a
PEEP > 0 mbar and an inspiratory O2 concentration set to FiO2 < 70%,
the inspiratory O2 concentration administered can deviate from the set
value. Reduce the PEEP to decrease the administered inspiratory O2
concentration.

Patient Hose System

Warning!
• Risk of injury. Only use the Patient Hose System if you are a qualified medical
professional and have received training in respiration techniques. Improper use

4. Installation
As a rule, MEDUMAT Transport only has to be installed for stationary use in rescue vehicles,
helicopters or aircraft. In this case, fastening sets can be supplied as accessories.
If MEDUMAT Transport is supplied complete on a portable system, the unit is ready for
operation and no further installation work is required. There are separate instructions for
use for the portable systems.

Warning!
After installation, you must perform a functional check (see "10. Function check" on
page 115) to ensure reliable operation.

4.1 Connecting oxygen cylinder

Warning!
• Risk of explosion! Wash your hands thoroughly before doing any work
on the oxygen supply. Hydrocarbon compounds (e.g. oil, grease,
cleaning alcohol, hand cream or adhesive plasters) can cause explosive
reactions if they come into contact with highly compressed oxygen.
• Never use wrenches or other tools to tighten or unscrew the union nuts.

Notice:
Only use the High Flow OXYWAY Fast II and OXYWAY Fix III pressure reducers on the
MEDUMAT Transport. Foreign pressure reducers can impair the unit's efficiency.

Removing the empty cylinder

1. Close the valve on the oxygen cylinder.
Switch on MEDUMAT Transport at the On/Standby/Off
switch. This allows the remaining oxygen to escape and
the unit is pressure-free. Only when the contents gauge
on the pressure reducer indicates 0 bar, can the
screwed union be undone by hand.
2. Switch MEDUMAT Transport off again.
3. Undo the screwed union at the cylinder by hand.

30 EN Installation
Connecting a new cylinder
1. Briefly open the valve of the new oxygen cylinder, then shut it again. This is to blow
away any particles of dust.
Caution!
• Make sure that the patient is not connected up to the MEDUMAT
Transport when you are establishing the gas supply. Otherwise, the
unit's automatic self-test can lead to incorrect results.
• When doing this, hold the valve opening away from your body in such a
way that any flying particles cannot injure yourself or other people!
2. Screw the pressure reducer to the cylinder valve using
the knurled union nut. Tighten the union nut by hand.
3. Screw the pressure hose onto the outlet of the pressure
reducer (if not already connected) using the G 3/8
union nut.

4. Screw the other end of the pressure hose to the

compressed gas connection of the MEDUMAT
Transport (if not already connected).

Connecting a second oxygen source

Caution!
Risk of insufficient oxygen supply
Two oxygen sources can be connected to this unit simultaneously. Make sure that only
one oxygen source is open at any given time and that there is no gas reflux. Otherwise,
one of the oxygen sources may empty itself unnoticed. Sufficient oxygen supply to the
patient can then no longer be guaranteed when the unit is in use.
If desired or if foreseen in your establishment, you can connect a second oxygen source,
e.g., an oxygen cylinder or a CGC to the O2/AIR inlet/outlet (quick connector to the front
of the unit).

Notice:
If your unit is equipped with a DIN quick connector, no oxygen can be fed into the
unit with the associated DIN gas probe. With this combination it is only possible to
draw off oxygen.

Installation EN 31
4.2 Connecting the hose system
Caution!
Risk of injury posed by ventilation with inhalation mask, tube or inhalation cannula!
Before ventilating a patient, ensure that no inhalation mask, tube, or inhalation
cannula is being used for the ventilation. Otherwise, ventilation with a connected
inhalation mask, tube, or inhalation cannula could injure the patient.

A reusable hose system is supplied with the MEDUMAT Transport. Alternatively, a

disposable hose system and a disposable hose system with reduced dead space are also
available. Information on the disposable hose system with reduced dead space can be
found in the instructions for use for the patient hose system WM 66696. To connect
reusable and disposable hose systems, proceed as follows:
1. Press the ventilation hose onto the corresponding
connection on the unit.
2. Attach the connector of the BiCheck flow sensor

Elbow

Hose protection sleeve

The tube protection sleeve is pulled over the ventilation
hose with connected BiCheck flow sensor. It prevents the
hose system from tangling on other items of equipment
and being damaged.

Water filter for CO2 measuring hose

Notice:
Always operate the unit with a water filter when CO2 suction is activated. Otherwise
particles that have been sucked in can damage the CO2 module.
The water filter WM 97012 loses efficiency after approx. 8 hours of continuous operation,
depending on the temperature, humidity and any coarse particles such as mucus.
Change the filter after eight hours at the latest.
The filter's decreasing efficiency is indicated by the alarm message "CO2 occlusion" on the
display. This message is accompanied by a medium-priority audible alarm.

Installation EN 33
4.3 Connecting the inhalation adapter
An inhalation adapter for oxygen inhalation via the MEDUMAT Transport is supplied with
the unit. The inhalation mode is used for administering a defined oxygen flow of
1-10 l/min via a suitable interface.
On delivery, the inhalation adapter is secured to the connection for the ventilation hose by
a retaining band. To connect the inhalation adapter, proceed as follows:
1. Connect the inhalation adapter to the ventilation hose
port on the unit.
or
Connect the inhalation adapter to the patient-side port
of the patient hose system.
2. To block the measuring ports on the device during
inhalation, place the cover on the inhalation adapter on
the upper two measurement ports on the device.

Notice

mode.
7. Set the advanced ventilation parameters for the select-
ed mode.
8. Select "Start ventilation" and confirm your selection.
The ventilation begins in the newly selected ventilation
mode.
If you change from one ventilation mode to another, the unit will respond as follows:
• Ventilation parameters which are also available in the new ventilation
mode are retained unchanged.
• Ventilation parameters which are not available in the new ventilation
mode are saved, but have no influence on current ventilation progress.

48 EN Operation
 The saved values become available again as soon as the previous
ventilation mode is reactivated.
• When changing from volume-controlled ventilation to pressure-
controlled ventilation, the unit adopts the preset inspiratory pressure
from the operator menu.
• If you have selected a volume-controlled mode, and if the tidal volume
or ventilation rate has changed, the device automatically adapts the
corresponding alarm limits (± 30%) before the ventilation mode is
changed. This automated process does not apply if the parameters are
changed during ventilation without the ventilation mode being changed.

5.7 Selecting additional ventilation functions

The ventilation functions "O2 concentration" and "100% O2" are available for all the
ventilation modes. You can call up and set these functions at any time using the fixed-
assignment function buttons on the right of the display.

Warning!
Risk of poisoning! Highly concentrated oxygen can have a toxic effect on the patient
if administered for too long, depending on the age of the patient. When ventilating
with pure oxygen or an oxygen-air mixture, make sure that oxygen is only
administered for an appropriate period.

Setting the O2 concentration

To save oxygen, ventilation is normally carried out with an oxygen/air mixture. The
administered oxygen concentration can be selected between 40% and 100%. The
currently measured value is shown in the info field on the display.
If you switch from oxygen/air mixture (40% O2) to pure oxygen (100% O2), the respiratory
minute volume changes within the preset tolerances (see "14. Technical Data" on
page 142). To set the O2 concentration, proceed as follows.
1. Use the FiO2 button to call up the "O2 concentration"
menu.

2. Select the required inspiratory O2 concentration using

the navigation knob or the function buttons.

Operation EN 49
 Notice:
When performing ventilation with a tidal volume
Vt < 200 ml, a PEEP > 0 mbar and an inspiratory O2
concentration set to FiO2 < 70%, the inspiratory O2
concentration administered can deviate from the
set value. Reduce the PEEP to decrease the
administered inspiratory O2 concentration.
3. Press the button or the navigation knob to confirm
your selection.

Activate the 100% O2 function

To raise the oxygen concentration to % briefly (two minutes maximum), you can use the
"100% O2" function.
1. Press the "100% O2" button to activate the function.
The message "100% O2" appears in the display.
2. Press the "100% O2" button again to end the function.
Ventilation is continued with the originally set O2
concentration. The function is ended automatically
after two minutes.

5.8 Performing ventilation

Endotracheal tube
As a rule, the patient is intubated before the tube is connected to the patient valve.
1. Set the desired ventilation mode and the associated ventilation parameters.
2. Attach the patient valve to the endotracheal tube connector.
3. During ventilation, check the respiratory parameters on the display. This will enable you
to determine whether ventilation is adequate.

Notice:
If your unit is equipped with the optional CO2 measurement, you can check the tube
position on the basis of the capnogram and correct it if necessary.

Ventilation mask
1. If necessary, use the elbow supplied with the hose system to allow you to optimize the
route of the hose system, depending on the patient's position.

50 EN Operation
 Caution!
Using the elbow increases the dead space of the hose system. Take this into account
when setting the ventilation parameters. Otherwise the success of treatment may be
compromised.
2. Attach the mask to the hose system.
3. If necessary, introduce a Guedel oropharyngeal tube to keep the patient's airways free.
4. Place the ventilation mask over the patient's mouth and nose.
5. Tilt back the patient's head and, at the same time, hold the mask tight against the
patient's face with the C grip.

5.9 Monitoring ventilation

General
During ventilation, you must monitor the patient continuously. You can follow the progress
of ventilation on the display. You can select various display formats.
High airway resistances, e.g., due to obstructions of the airway or during external cardiac
massage, may change the respiratory minute volume, depending on the ventilation mode.
If lung compliance decreases, the unit responds as follows:
• With volume-controlled ventilation, the ventilation pressure rises until
the set pressure limit is reached, while the ventilation volume remains
constant. Then the applied volume drops.
• With pressure-contolled ventilation, the applied volume drops while the
pressure remains constant.
Example of ventilation progress before and
after decrease in compliance during volume-controlled
ventilation

Notice:
All the displayed measurements for flow, volume, or MV relate to ambient
temperature and ambient air pressure.

Operation EN 51
Displayed measurements
During ventilation, the following parameters are displayed
as numbers:
– O2i: inspiratory O2 concentration measured by the
unit
– Vte: expiratory tidal volume/breath volume
– f/(fsp): respiratory rate/number of spontaneous
breaths per minute and the corresponding alarm
limit
– MVe: expiratory minute volume and the
corresponding alarm limits
– etCO2: end-tidal CO2 concentration (only with
units equipped with optional CO2 measurement)
and the corresponding alarm limits.
If you deactivate CO2 suction in the Options | CO2
configuration menu, the CO2 display is crossed out
in red.
If you select two curves and measurements for your curve
display, you will be shown the following measurements in
the display:
– pPeak: Peak pressure in mbar
– pPlat: Plateau pressure in mbar
– pMean: Mean pressure of all measurements in
mbar
– Vleak: Leakage in % Vti

Ventilation progress curves

For the purpose of monitoring ventilation, the standard
unit displays the following parameters as curves:
– Pressure, flow
– Pressure, flow, measurements
– Pressure gauge (only in volume-controlled modes)

52 EN Operation
 If you have a unit equipped with CO2 measurement, you
can vary the display as follows:
– Pressure, flow
– Pressure, CO2
– Pressure, flow, CO2
– Pressure, flow, measurements
– Pressure, CO2, measurements
– Gauge (only in volume-controlled modes)

5.10 Performing inhalation

Caution!
The device must not be operated in combination with a nebulizer during oxygen in-
halation via an inhalation hose system. Otherwise the device does not generate suf-
ficient pressure for the ventilation and thus inhibits the therapy.
1. Connect the inhalation adapter to the ventilation hose
port on the unit.
or
Connect the inhalation adapter to the patient-side port
of the patient hose system.
2. To block the measuring ports on the device during the
inhalation, place the cover on the inhalation adapter on
the upper two measurement ports on the device.

Notice
The cover is not required when connecting the in-
halation adapter to the patient-side port of the pa-
tient hose system. In this case, the connection plug
of the measuring hose system blocks the measur-
ing ports instead.

3. Switch on the device.

4. Select "New patient".

Operation EN 53
 5. Select "Adult", "Child", "Infant", or "Height" and
confirm your selection.
The "Mode" submenu opens.

6. Select the "Inhalation" mode and confirm your

selection.

7. Then select "Start ventilation" and confirm your

selection.
The device starts the inhalation.

5.11 Alarm signals

Alarm priority
MEDUMAT Transport classifies alarms into the following priority levels:
• high priority
• medium priority
• low priority
If two or more alarms occur simultaneously, alarms with the currently highest priority are
displayed cyclically.
You can set limit values for alarms relating to respiratory physiology (see "7.2 Alarm Limits"
on page 85).

54 EN Operation
Display of alarms
MEDUMAT Transport displays alarms as follows:
• High priority
– LED flashes red
– "High priority" alarm sounds every 8 seconds
– Alarm text appears in info field; info field flashes
Info field red
– Corresponding alarm limit in the measurement
field flashes red
• Medium priority
– LED off
– "Medium priority" alarm sounds every 15 seconds
– Alarm text appears in info field; info field flashes
yellow
– Corresponding alarm limit in the measurement
field flashes yellow
• Low priority
– LED off
– "Low priority" alarm sounds every 30 seconds
– Alarm text appears in info field; info field has
turquoise background
Set alarms are displayed in the "Alarm Limits" menu in
their priority color (see "7.2 Alarm Limits" on page 85).

Muting the alarm

You can use the alarm mute button at any time to mute
the alarm signal for 120 s. During this time, the yellow LED
of the alarm mute button flashes. Pressing the button
again reactivates the acoustic alarm. The visual alarm
continues to remain active.
Visual and acoustic alarms are reset automatically as soon
as the cause of the alarm has been removed.

Operation EN 55
 Notice
• Following the start of ventilation, all alarms are
automatically muted for 120 seconds. This is with
the exception of the technical alarms "Supply
pressure < 2.7 bar", "Battery almost empty", and
"Device malfunction", which cannot be muted.
During this time, visual alarms are still displayed.
• The acoustic alarm output is permanently muted in
NVG mode.

5.12 Ventilation with breathing system filters

(not supplied with the unit)
For hygiene purposes, and to condition the air for breathing, you can equip the patient valve
with commercially available filters (HME, bacterial or combined HME/bacterial filters) with
standard 15/22 mm connections. This increases both inspiratory and expiratory resistance.
Therefore you should monitor the ventilation pressure and volume with special care.
Allowance must be made for the larger dead space, especially with children.
Always follow the filter manufacturer's instructions for use.

5.13 Ending ventilation

Caution!
Never empty the oxygen cylinder completely. Always ensure that there is a certain
residual pressure in the cylinder when you return it for filling, since this prevents
moist ambient air from entering and causing corrosion.
1. Check the remaining oxygen content on the contents gauge of the pressure reducer. If
the contents gauge indicates 50 bar or less, the cylinder must be refilled or a reserve
cylinder obtained to ensure that the unit remains ready for use.
2. Close the valve on the oxygen cylinder.
3. Hold down the On/Standby/Off button for 2 seconds to
switch the unit to standby.

Notice:
The unit still uses up electricity in standby mode. If the unit does not need to be used
for a long time or is not connected to the power supply, we recommend switching
it off completely. To do so, hold down the On/Standby/Off button until the LED alarm
goes out (approx. 10 seconds).

56 EN Operation
5.14 Calculating the Oxygen level/Operating time
Caution!
When calculating the oxygen level in the cylinder, take into account the unit's O2
consumption (see "14.5 O2 consumption of the unit" on page 149). Otherwise you
may miscalculate how long the cylinder will last, which may impair the success of
treatment.

Oxygen level in the cylinder

Oxygen volume = cylinder volume x cylinder pressure
Cylinder volume x Cylinder pressure = Oxygen content
Example 1 10 l x 200 bar = 2000 l

Example 2 10 l x 100 bar = 1000 l

Ventilation operating time

Vt (tidal volume) x f (respiratory rate) = MV (minute volume)

Oxygen supply (l) 100

Ventilation operating time (min) = ------------------------------------------------------------------- × -------------------------------------------------
Vt x f + O 2 consumption O 2 concentration

Example 1:
O2 supply = 1000 l; Vt x f = 11 l/min; 100% O2, O2 consumption 0.3 l (see "14.5 O2
consumption of the unit" on page 149).
This gives:
1000 l 100
Ventilation operating time (min) = -------------------------- × ---------------- = 88 min = 1 h 28 min
11.3 l/min 100%

If MEDUMAT Transport is operated with an O2 concentration less than 100%, the operating
time will increase correspondingly.

Operation EN 57
5.15 Alternative ventilation
In the event of the MEDUMAT Transport breaking down during ventilation, you have the
following alternatives:

Ventilation bag
1. Pull the patient valve off the tube or mask.
2. Attach the ventilation bag, e.g., COMBIBAG WM 11000 from WEINMANN Emergency
and perform manual ventilation.

Oxygen failure
If the oxygen supply fails or no medical oxygen is available, the MEDUMAT Transport can
also be operated with sterile compressed air or concentrator oxygen (see "Options" on
page 91).

5.16 Changing battery during use

You should change a battery with low capacity in good time. Always keep a fully charged
replacement battery ready for use.
Proceed as follows:
1. Have the fully charged battery ready to hand.
2. Press and hold the On/Standby/Off button until the alarm LED goes out (approx.
10 seconds). The device is now switched off.

Caution!
Do not remove the battery whilst the device is in operation, as this prevents the
settings for the last patient being safely stored. Always switch off the device first.
3. Pull the low battery currently in use out of the unit's battery compartment.
4. Insert the replacement battery into the compartment until you hear an audible click.
5. Switch on the device.
6. To adopt the settings entered before changing the battery: Click on "Previous patient"
in the Start menu to call up the settings.
7. Continue with ventilation.

58 EN Operation
5.17 Battery management
MEDUMAT Transport has an internal power supply with a rechargeable battery.
Two battery versions are available:
• BATTERY pack Plus WM 28385 for internal and external charging; can be
recharged either in the unit or using an external power supply unit
WM 28937; charge level can be checked on the battery.
• BATTERY pack WM 28384 for internal charging; can only be recharged
in the unit; charge level can be checked on the battery.
For recharging the battery, an external DC power supply with 12 – 15 V (internal charging)
or 15 V (external charging) is required. Use only the vehicle/aircraft on-board electrical
power supply or, if charging from the mains, use power supply unit WM 28937.
MEDUMAT Transport can be operated from an external power supply when the battery is
empty. The battery is charged while the unit is in operation but charging takes longer than
when the unit is switched off.

Caution!
• Never operate the unit without a battery because any voltage dips in the
power supply cannot then be bridged. This would mean that
uninterrupted ventilation of the patient could not be guaranteed.
• Battery-operated medical devices have a limited operating period.
MEDUMAT Transport can normally be operated for 7.5 hours (see "14.1
Specifications" on page 142) without an external power supply,
provided that the battery is fully charged. You should therefore ensure
that the battery is always as fully charged as possible, or that you have a
spare battery ready for use.

Battery charge level indicator (MEDUMAT Transport)

At the top left of the display you will find the symbol
indicating the battery charge level. This is displayed in five
levels. The picture opposite shows examples of a full, half-
full and empty battery.

Charging batteries
MEDUMAT Transport starts charging the battery automatically, as soon as the following
conditions are met:
• External power supply with at least 12 V DC is
connected
• The battery is not full (<95% charge)
• Battery temperature not above 45°C or below +5°C
Notice:
The battery WM 28385 has its own charging interface,
so it can also be charged outside the MEDUMAT
Charging indicator Transport. Only use the power supply unit WM 28937.
If charging cannot be started, e.g., because the battery
temperature is outside the permitted range (+ 5°C -
45°C), the charging indicator glows red. It only goes
out once all the conditions for starting charging are
met.
While the battery is being charged, the charging indicator
flashes green.

Notice:
If the battery is deeply discharged and you charge it in
the device, the red alarm LED will light up for a short
period of time. It goes out again when the battery
charge level progresses.

Operation EN 61
Ending battery charging
MEDUMAT Transport automatically determines the optimum point at which to end
charging by measuring and evaluating the charging curve and battery temperature. As
soon as charging has ended, the charging indicator glows green continuously.

Interrupting battery charging

Battery charging is continuously monitored by MEDUMAT Transport.
Faults which cause charging to be interrupted are:
• Battery temperature rises above 45°C, e.g., due to high ambient
temperature, or falls below +5°C
• Charging current is too high (>3 A) e.g., due to a short-circuit
If one of these problems occurs, charging is automatically interrupted and the charging
indicator glows red.
Charging is also interrupted if there is no external power supply, e.g., because the unit,
which is mounted on a portable system, is removed from the wall mounting. The charging
indicator does not light up in this case because this is not a fault, but a normal operating
situation. As soon as the external power is restored, e.g., when the portable system is put
back into the wall mounting, charging continues immediately.

6.3 Additional functions and safety functions
NIV
NIV: Non-Invasive Ventilation (Mask ventilation)

This additional function can also be activated in all

pressure-controlled modes and in the CPAP + ASB
mode.The leakage alarm is deactivated. The unit uses
optimized trigger algorithms for non-invasive ventilation.
If non-invasive ventilation is activated, only the ventilation
modes BiLevel + ASB, aPCV, PCV, and CPAP + ASB
available for this are shown in the "Mode" menu.
If non-invasive ventilation is activated, the symbol for mask
ventilation appears in the "Mode" function indicator.

Caution!
• If the NIV function is not activated during ventilation with leakage, the
patient can only trigger the unit by greatly increasing his/her respiratory
efforts. This may endanger the success of treatment.
• In certain circumstances, the required O2 concentration may not be
achieved during ventilation with leakage. This is for technical reasons and
does not indicate a malfunction. When the NIV mode is activated, the
alarm limit for "O2 concentration ↑" is therefore automatically set to
20 Vol%.

Apnea ventilation
Apnea ventilation is a safety function which causes the
unit to take over and continue ventilation if the patient
stops breathing (Apnea). If the patient is no longer
breathing spontaneously and the set Apnea time (see "7.2
Alarm Limits" on page 85) in the "Alarm Limits" menu has
elapsed, the unit will ventilate the patient (mandatorily)
with a preset ventilation mode. A high-priority alarm
sounds and the mode function indicator flashes red.
Apnea ventilation is available in the ventilation modes
BiLevel + ASB, aPCV, CPAP + ASB, PRVC + ASB, S-IPPV,
and SIMV + ASB.

66 EN Ventilation modes
 You can activate or deactivate apnea ventilation in the
"Apnea ventilation parameters" menu. The "Apnea
mode" menu item allows you to select which ventilation
mode the unit utilizes during apnea ventilation:
• BiLevel + ASB (pressure-controlled)
• SIMV + ASB (volume-controlled)
In this menu, you can also set the ventilation parameters for
Apnea ventilation. If you do not set any ventilation parameters,
the unit adopts the presettings for these ventilation modes
according to the patient (Infant, child, adult).

Pre-oxygenation
Pre-oxygenation is a function which enables the oxygen
content in a patient's lungs to be increased quickly, e.g., in
preparation for intubation.
The device administers a flow of 10-25 l/min with 100%
O2, which can be set in the menu item "Pre-oxygenation".
Pressure is limited to 10 mbar for safety reasons.
You can select pre-oxygenation in the "Mode" menu (see
"6. Ventilation modes" on page 63). To deactivate pre-ox-
ygenation, switch to another ventilation mode.

Inhalation
Inhalation is a function which makes it possible to increase
the oxygen content in a patient's lungs. The inhalation
flow can be set at a value between 0 l/min and 10 l/min.
The unit administers a flow of 100% O2 which can be set
in the menu item "Inhalation".
You can select inhalation in the "Mode" menu (see "6.
Ventilation modes" on page 63).

Caution!
In the case of oxygen inhalation, check that the inhalation
hose is connected and the measuring ports on the
MEDUMAT Transport are blocked (see "4.3 Connecting
the inhalation adapter" on page 34).

The BiLevel + ASB mode is used for pressure-controlled ventilation combined with free
spontaneous respiration at pressure levels pInsp and PEEP during the entire breathing cycle
and for adjustable pressure support at PEEP level.
This mode is used on patients who have no spontaneous respiration or on spontaneously
breathing patients. The BiLevel + ASB ventilation mode is also used as the mode for Apnea
ventilation (see "Apnea ventilation" on page 66).
The patient can trigger a mandatory, pressure-controlled mechanical breath during a
predetermined trigger time slot. The trigger time slot is 20% of the expiration time Te
before the anticipated mandatory mechanical breath. For the rest of the time, the patient
can breathe spontaneously or with the aid of pressure support (see "CPAP + ASB" on
page 74).
Tidal volume and minute volume are determined by the set pInsp, lung compliance and the
set inspiration time Ti.

Warning!
• Risk of hyperventilation! Continuously monitor the patient's measured
respiratory rate and measured minute volume in order to prevent
hyperventilation. To this end, set a narrow alarm limit for the f ↑ alarm, in order
to recognize the risk of hyperventilation in good time.
• Risk of air trapping! Continuously monitor the airway pressure in order to
prevent air trapping.
• Risk of intrinsic PEEP! An expiration that is too short can cause the pressure to
increase slowly at the end of the expiration. Monitor the sensitivity of the
inspiratory trigger. If the set PEEP is exceeded, a high-priority alarm (PEEP ↑)
guarantees the safety of the patient.

In case of spontaneous respiration, the patient has the possibility of increasing the rate and
consequently the minute volume MV. If the patient displays a spontaneous respiratory ef-
fort within a specified time slot of the expiration, the mandatory mechanical breath is syn-
chronized with the patient's respiration. The time slot or trigger time slot can be set in %
of Te before the next expected mandatory mechanical breath. If the patient displays a

The CPAP + ASB mode can be separated into its individual elements:
The set value CPAP/PEEP is used to increase the pressure level of respiration in order to raise
the functional residual capacity (FRC) of a spontaneously breathing patient.
The ASB mode is used for pressure support of insufficient or exhausted spontaneous
respiration. The patient is able to breathe spontaneously without any restriction, but is
supported in his breathing effort by MEDUMAT Transport.
The CPAP + ASB mode is used exclusively on patients with adequate spontaneous
respiration.
In principle, the pressure is set at the end of expiration (PEEP). In addition, pressure support
(Δ pASB) can be switched on if needed. Ventilation can be individually adjusted to suit the
patient with the aid of the inspiratory and expiratory triggers. The inspiratory trigger
indicates a sensitivity for triggering pressure support. The expiratory trigger determines
when the unit should switch off pressure support, which enables the administered volume
and the inspiration time to be set indirectly.
The set maximum pressure limitation (pMax) ensures the safety of the patient.

The controlled ventilation mode PRVC + ASB combines the advantages of both pressure-
controlled ventilation and volume-controlled ventilation. The set tidal volume is applied
with the minimum ventilation pressure possible.
Ventilation begins with three volume-controlled breaths with the set tidal volume and
decreasing flow. The volume-controlled breaths have a plateau time of 50% of the
configured inspiration time Ti. The unit selects the measured plateau pressure as starting
value for the inspiratory pressure pInsp of the following pressure-controlled ventilation. It
measures the administered volumes and adjusts the ventilation pressure accordingly. If the
lung parameters change during ventilation, the unit alters the inspiratory pressure pInsp in
increments of a maximum of 3 mbar in order to achieve the set tidal volume again and
thereby automatically compensate for changes in the patient.
Measuring the applied volume is improved by compensating hose compliance. This enables
precise control of the required tidal volume, in particular of small tidal volumes under high
airway pressures.
The set maximum pressure limitation (pMax) ensures the safety of the patient. For safety
reasons inspiratory pressure pInsp is 5 mbar below the set maximum pressure limitation
(pMax). Once maximum ventilation pressure (pMax - 5 mbar) is achieved, the unit
administers as much volume as possible. If this volume deviates from the set tidal volume,
the unit triggers the low-priority alarm "Vt not achievable".

Ventilation modes EN 77
6.5 Volume-controlled ventilation modes
Warning!
Risk of inconsistent volume once pressure limitation pMax is reached! Monitor the
patient continuously throughout volume-controlled ventilation modes and change
the setting parameters if necessary. Once the pressure limitation is reached, a high-
priority alarm (airway pressure ↑) guarantees the safety of the patient.

Warning!
• Risk of hyperventilation! Continuously monitor the patient's measured

hyperventilation. To this end, set a narrow alarm limit for the f ↑ alarm, in order
to recognize the risk of hyperventilation in good time.
• Risk of air trapping! Continuously monitor the airway pressure in order to
prevent air trapping.
• Risk of intrinsic PEEP! An expiration that is too short can cause the pressure to
increase slowly at the end of the expiration. Monitor the sensitivity of the
inspiratory trigger. Once the set PEEP is exceeded, a high-priority alarm (PEEP ↑)
guarantees the safety of the patient.

The S-IPPV mode is used for volume-controlled ventilation with a variable mandatory
minute volume MV. Throughout the entire expiratory phase, a trigger is active which
enables the patient to trigger a new breath. This means the patient has the option of
increasing the respiratory rate and therefore the minute volume MV, and adapting these
to his/her needs. As a rule this mode is used on patients who have inadequate spontaneous
respiration.
Ventilation in the S-IPPV mode corresponds to ventilation in the IPPV mode with the
difference that it is possible to synchronize ventilation with the patient's efforts to inhale.
Since the setting for the respiratory rate is lower, the patient can trigger mandatory
mechanical breaths spontaneously. A trigger time slot extending throughout the expiration
time is available for this synchronization.

The SIMV + ASB mode is used for volume-controlled ventilation with a fixed mandatory
minute volume MV.
The patient can breathe spontaneously between the mandatory mechanical breaths and
thereby increase the minute volume.
During spontaneous respiration, the mandatory mechanical breath is synchronized with
the patient's breathing. The mandatory minute volume and the mandatory respiration rate
remain unchanged.
The set maximum pressure limitation (pMax) ensures the safety of the patient.
The SIMV + ASB ventilation mode is also used as the mode for Apnea ventilation
(see "Apnea ventilation" on page 66).
The patient can trigger a mandatory, pressure-controlled mechanical breath during a
predetermined trigger time slot. The trigger time slot is available in the final 20% of
expiration time Te. For the rest of the time, the patient can breathe spontaneously or with
the aid of pressure support (see "CPAP + ASB" on page 74).

7.1 Activating automatic alarm limits

General
When the "Activate automatic alarm limits" function is
activated, the unit automatically determines limits for the
alarms relating to respiratory physiology. Alternatively, you
can activate the automatic alarm limits by keeping the
alarm mute button depressed (approx. 2 seconds).
Crucial for determining the limits are the respiratory values
measured at the moment when the function is activated
(Vte, MVe, f, if necessary etCO2).
In the "Alarm Limits" menu (see "7.2 Alarm Limits" on
page 85), you can set the amount of deviation (in %) from
the current respiratory value, which should trigger an
alarm.

Notice:
This overwrites the values set in "Alarm Limits" (see
"7.2 Alarm Limits" on page 85).

84 EN Main menu
Automatic alarm calculation for the Apnea alarm
Depending on the set percentage, the Apnea alarm is set to 4 (10%), 5 (20%) or 6 (30%)
respiratory periods. The length of a respiratory period is 60/f in seconds, i.e., with a
measured respiratory rate of, for example, 15/min, the increments for the Apnea alarm
limit are 16 s, 20 s, and 24 s.

7.2 Alarm Limits

You can set limit values for alarms relating to respiratory
physiology. Once the limit values are reached, the unit
triggers an alarm.
You can set the following:

9. Hygienic preparation
The MEDUMAT Transport and the accessories used must be hygienically prepared after
each use. Please refer to the instructions supplied with the disinfectant used. We recom-
mend using gigasept FF® (new) for immersion disinfection and terralin® protect for wipe
disinfection.
Always carry out a functional check after the hygienic preparation (see "10. Function
check" on page 115).

9.1 MEDUMAT Transport

Warning!
Never immerse the MEDUMAT Transport or the BiCheck flow sensor lead in
disinfectant or other liquids. Otherwise the unit may be damaged, causing a hazard
to users and patients.
Keep MEDUMAT Transport and the BiCheck flow sensor connecting lead clean by wiping
with disinfectant. If using a hygiene input filter, do not remove it for wipe disinfection;
leave it installed.
Please refer to the instructions supplied with the disinfectant used. We recommend using
terralin® protect for wipe disinfection.

9.2 Hose systems

Depending on the hose system used, the hose system may contain disposable articles. Do
not reuse.
For preparing the other components, follow the instructions for use supplied with the hose
systems.

Hygienic preparation EN 109

9.3 Parts and accessories
Masks and all silicone parts must be cleaned in a disinfectant solution:
1. All surfaces must be wetted, free of bubbles, inside and outside. Allow the disinfectant
to act for the full time specified by the manufacturer.
2. After disinfection, rinse the parts thoroughly with drinking water to avoid residues of
the disinfectant solution causing problems.
3. Always allow parts to dry in the air.
4. Carry out a visual inspection and replace any damaged parts immediately.
The reusable ventilation tube, reusable patient valve (see previous section), reusable
BiCheck flow sensor and ventilation masks with silicone cushion can also be autoclaved.

9.4 BiCheck flow sensor

Observe the following instructions for hygienic preparation to avoid damage to the
BiCheck flow sensor:

Caution!
• Never rinse off the BiCheck flow sensor under running water. Ingress of
a water stream or jet may damage the BiCheck flow sensor. Take
particular care to avoid a water stream or jet directly entering the CO2
outlet. To rinse the BiCheck flow sensor after hygienic preparation, swirl
it carefully in drinking water.
• Never dry the BiCheck flow sensor with compressed gas, as this may
damage the measuring wires in the BiCheck flow sensor. Leave the
BiCheck flow sensor to drip dry for a sufficient length of time.
Alternatively, you can connect the patient hose system, without the test
lung, to the MEDUMAT Transport and actuate several mechanical
breaths.
• For the purpose of thermal disinfection or sterilization, place the BiCheck
flow sensor in a fine-meshed small parts tray with a lid to prevent the
BiCheck flow sensor coming into direct contact with streams or jets of
liquid.
• Do not clean the CO2 outlet with a brush. This can damage the
measuring wires in the BiCheck flow sensor.

110 EN Hygienic preparation

9.5 Fittings
Warning!
Risk of explosion! Never immerse the fittings in disinfectant or other liquids. Only
carry out wipe disinfection. Liquid must not be allowed to enter the pressure reducer.
Otherwise there is a risk of explosion.
If it is absolutely necessary to clean the fittings (e.g., pressure reducer, valve), use a clean
cloth. The cloth may be dry or moistened with clean water.

9.6 Hygiene input filter (optional)

Before changing the hygiene input filter, wipe-disinfect the outside of the unit with the hy-
giene input filter installed.
To guarantee filter efficiency, the hygiene input filter has a life of 24 hours of ventilation
(at FiO2 < 100% oxygen) or a maximum of 6 months.
The hygiene input filter is a single-use device. Do not reprocess it. Dispose of it correctly.

9.7 Cleaning, disinfection and sterilization

Warning!
Risk of explosion! If wipe disinfection is required, make sure that no liquid enters the
connections. Cleaning agents containing alcohol or grease become flammable when
combined with compressed oxygen and can cause explosions.
Carry out hygienic preparation of the MEDUMAT Transport and the accessories used, as
described in the following table.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the hose system and with the disinfectant used. We
recommend using gigasept FF® (new) for immersion disinfection and terralin® protect for
wipe disinfection. You are advised to use suitable gloves for disinfection work (e.g., house-
hold or disposable gloves).

Notice:
• The minimum service life of reusable components is at least
30 preparation cycles.
• You can find further information about hygienic preparation and a list of
all the suitable cleaning agents and disinfectants in a brochure on the
Internet at www.weinmann-emergency.com.

10.1 Intervals
Before each use:
• Perform a function check.

After each use or disassembly:

• Clean, disinfect and sterilize the unit and the components
(see "9. Hygienic preparation" on page 109).
• Perform a function check.

At least every 6 months:

• Perform a function check.
• Every six months, the device asks you to change the suction filter or the
hygiene input filter (if any) before it displays the function check status
report. Then change the suction filter (see "12.5 Changing the suction
filter" on page 131) or the hygiene input filter (see "12.6 Changing the
hygiene input filter" on page 132).

Every 24 hours of ventilation at FiO2 < 100% (following a prompt during

the function check)
• Change the hygiene input filter (see "12.6 Changing the hygiene input
filter" on page 132)

Every time contamination is transferred/in case of suspected notifiable

infectious disease/in case of notifiable infectious disease/in case of vis-
ible soiling of the filter e.g. by blood/if there is mechanical damage to
the hygiene input filter:
• Change the hygiene input filter (see "12.6 Changing the hygiene input
filter" on page 132).

116 EN Function check

10.2 Checking the system for leaks
1. Open the valve on the oxygen cylinder slowly. You can
now read the cylinder pressure on the contents gauge
of the pressure reducer. For example, a reading of
200 bar means that the cylinder is full; a reading of
100 bar means that it is still half full.
You should change the cylinder in good time, e.g.,
when the pressure falls below 50 bar, to ensure a
sufficiently long operating time.
2. Close the cylinder valve again.
3. Watch the needle of the contents gauge on the
pressure reducer for approx. 1 minute. If the position of
the needle stays constant, the system is free from leaks.
If the needle falls steadily, there is a leak in the system.

Repairing leaks
Notice:
Always keep a stock of replacement seals for the connections.

1. Prepare a soapy solution using unperfumed soap.

2. Wet all the screw and hose connections with the solution. If bubbles form, this indicates
a leak.
3. Release the pressure in the system:
Close the oxygen cylinder valve. Switch MEDUMAT Transport on briefly until the
contents gauge on the O2 cylinder indicates "0". Then switch MEDUMAT Transport
off again.

Caution!
The screwed unions of the oxygen tubes must only be tightened by hand.
4. If there is a leak, change the faulty parts.
5. Then check for leaks again.
6. If the leak cannot be corrected, the unit must be repaired.

Function check EN 117

10.3 Checking the patient valve
(reusable hose system only)
Caution!
• Also observe the "Function check" section in the instructions for use of the
"Patient Hose System" WM 66696.
• Never use torn, wavy, distorted or sticky diaphragms for ventilation. Otherwise
considerable malfunctions are to be expected.
• When assembling the patient valve, it is essential you make sure that the PEEP
control diaphragm is correctly positioned and the right way up (the letters TOP on
the PEEP control diaphragm must face upwards). Otherwise the patient valve may
malfunction, putting the patient at risk.
1. Pull all the tubes and cables off the patient valve.
2. Dismantle the patient valve.

12. Maintenance

12.1 MEDUMAT Transport

Have the cleaned, disinfected unit serviced at regular intervals. Maintenance work (except:
changing the suction filter or the hygiene input filter), safety checks according to §11 of
the MPBetreibV (German regulations governing owners/operators of medical devices) (only
in Germany) and maintenance work such as inspections and repairs must only be carried
out by the manufacturer or a technician specifically authorized by the manufacturer.
Additional information for Germany: In accordance with the safety check (STK) regulation
of the German regulations governing owners/operators of medical devices (MPBetreibV
§11) which is valid under German law, we as the manufacturer recommend that all
accessories for use of the MEDUMAT Transport that are connected with the same be
subject to a safety check (STK) every two years.

Keep to the following intervals:

12.2 Sending in device

Warning!
Risk of infection due to contaminated parts during maintenance work!

The device, components, and accessories may be contaminated, and infect the tech-
nicians with bacteria or viruses.

• Clean and disinfect the device, components, and accessories.

• Do not send in parts which are potentially contaminated.
1. Uninstall components and accessories.
2. Clean the device, components, and accessories (see "9. Hygienic preparation" on
page 109).
3. Send in the device and, if necessary, components and accessories to WEINMANN Emer-
gency or a technician specifically authorized by WEINMANN Emergency.

Notice
If you send in parts that are obviously contaminated, they will be disposed of at your
expense by WEINMANN Emergency or by a technician specifically authorized by
WEINMANN Emergency.

130 EN Maintenance
12.3 Batteries
The batteries used for MEDUMAT Transport are maintenance-free. Nevertheless, it is
advisable to fully charge them at regular intervals (every 6 - 12 months, depending on the
length of use) and then fully discharge them again.
This complete decharging/charging cycle calibrates the batteries' internal capacity
calculation and so ensures that the charge display is as accurate as possible. After the
learning cycle, charge the battery fully again so that it is ready for use.

Notice:
The batteries used for MEDUMAT Transport do not have a "memory effect".
Therefore you can recharge them when they are only partially discharged without
reducing their capacity or life. However, in terms of their functioning even these
batteries have only a limited life of at least 300 charging cycles.

12.4 Accessories
Separate maintenance intervals and maintenance volumes apply for the accessories to
MEDUMAT Transport. Please observe the respective instructions for use.
Oxygen cylinders must be re-examined on a regular basis. The due date can be found on
the corresponding label on the cylinder.

12.5 Changing the suction filter

Caution!
• Never operate the unit without the suction filter. Otherwise the unit's functions
may be impaired or the unit may be damaged.
• Do not reuse filters.

Notice:
If using a device with hygiene input filter, you only have to change the hygiene input
filter (see "12.6 Changing the hygiene input filter" on page 132). The suction filter
is then changed every 2 years as part of servicing.

Maintenance EN 131
 1. Undo the two screws in the filter compartment cover
and remove the cover.

Notice:
Support the cover on one side with a slot-head
screwdriver. This prevents the cover from jamming
while you are lifting it off.

2. Remove the old suction filter with tweezers and dispose

of it correctly.

Screws 3. Clean the area of the air inlet and outlet openings with
a cotton bud (moistened with disinfectant).
Filter compartment cover
Caution!

Do not use compressed air for cleaning the area of

the air inlet and outlet openings, as this may blow
dust particles into the unit. This can cause
malfunctions, thereby putting the patient at risk.

4. Wipe the filter compartment cover with disinfectant and allow to dry.
5. Install the new suction filter with tweezers so that the letters "top" remain visible when
the filter is in place.
6. Refit the cover and screw tight.
7. Perform a function check (see "10. Function check" on page 115).
8. Confirm the suction filter change at the end of the function check.

12.6 Changing the hygiene input filter

Notice:
If using a device with hygiene input filter, you only
have to change the hygiene input filter. You leave
the suction filter in the device.

1. Wipe-disinfect the outside of the unit and the hygiene

input filter.
2. Turn the bayonet locks on the hygiene input filter so
that they are crosswise to the protective ridges.

132 EN Maintenance
 3. Remove the hygiene input filter from the device and
dispose of it correctly.

4. Place a new hygiene input filter onto the filter mount.

Neue Abbildung einfü- Observe the following: The bayonet locks on the hy-
gen giene input filter must be crosswise to the protective
ridges.

5. Turn the bayonet locks so that they are in line with the
protective ridges.
The hygiene input filter has been changed.
6. Perform a function check (see "10. Function check" on
page 115).
7. Confirm the hygiene input filter change at the end of
the function check.
or
If the hygiene input filter change is not displayed in the
function check: Confirm the hygiene input filter change
in the "Options" menu item (see "7.7 Options" on
page 91).

12.7 Storage
If MEDUMAT Transport is not going be used for a considerable length of time, we
recommend the following procedure:
1. Clean and disinfect the unit (see "9. Hygienic preparation" on page 109).
2. Switch the unit off by pressing the On/Standby/Off button (approx. 10 seconds) until the
alarm LED goes out completely.
3. Store MEDUMAT Transport in a dry place (see "14. Technical Data" on page 142).

Maintenance EN 133
 Caution!
Be sure to observe the maintenance intervals even when the unit is in storage, as
otherwise it must not be used when removed from storage.

Notice:
If the device is going to be stored for longer than a week, remove the battery and
store separately. To keep the battery ready for use, charge it every six months.

12.8 Disposal
Ventilator
Do not dispose of the unit in the household waste. Consult
an authorized electronic waste recycling company for the
proper disposal of the unit. You can find out their address
from your environmental officer or from your local council.
The device packaging (cardboard box and inserts) can be
disposed of as waste paper.

Disposal of batteries
Do not dispose of used batteries in the household waste.
Contact WEINMANN Emergency or a public waste disposal
authority.

14.4 Separation distances

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile

RF telecommunication devices (e.g., cellular phone) and MEDUMAT Transport
The MEDUMAT Transport is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which the RF
interference is controlled. The customer or user of the MEDUMAT Transport can help to avoid
electromagnetic interference by observing the minimum distance between portable and mobile RF
telecommunication devices (transmitters) and the MEDUMAT Transport, as recommended below,
according to the transmitter's power output.

14.7 Attainable tidal volume with counterpressure

With volume-controlled ventilation, the volume released to the patient is influenced by the
hose compliance. In relation to the respective airway pressure, the tidal volume falls by
0.79 ml/mbar (reusable hose system) or by 0.9 ml/mbar (disposable hose system).

14.8 Calculation of body weight on the basis of
body height
In the start menu, you can set the height of the patient under the menu item New patient
(see “5.2 Switching the unit on/Self-test” on page 41). The device calculates the appropri-
ate ventilation parameters based on the set height and the corresponding ideal body
weight (IBW).
The IBW value is calculated as follows:
• Child(1) (height ≤ 154 cm):

IBW = 2.05 x e0,02 x height

• Adult(2) (height > 154 cm):

IBW male = 50 + 2.3 x [height/2.54 - 60]

IBW female = 45 + 2.3 x [height/2.54 - 60]

With the aid of the IBW, the tidal volume can be calculated as follows:

(KG = body weight)

Example
• Patient, male, height 185 cm
• Setting for Vt/kg KG = 6 ml/kg

IBW = 50 + 2.3 x [185 cm/2.54 - 60] = 79.51 kg 80 kg

Vt= 80 kg x 6 ml/kg = 450 ml

 Term Explanation
Time during inspiration when the gas flow to the patient is zero.
Plateau time The plateau time can be set in volume-controlled ventilation modes
and is 0% - 50% of the inspiration time Ti.
Positive pressure (in relation to the atmosphere) in the lungs which

The pressure limitation is set indirectly via pMax. If the ventilation
pressure reaches the set value pMax, it is limited to this set pressure

limit. This means the desired volume cannot be applied. Pressure
limitation is a limit which protects the patient.

Pressure support ASB applies extra volume which supports

inspiration. Pressure support is triggered by the patient. The
amount of pressure support depends on the Δ pASB parameter and
the expiratory trigger.
Pressure-controlled ventilation determines the pressure which is
administered to the patient's lungs (inspiratory pressure pInsp as
the control variable). The breath volume is determined by the
Pressure-controlled ventilation
compliance of the lungs and the applied pressure. The maximum
pressure in the lungs remains constant, whereas the volume varies.
Example: PCV ventilation mode.
Measurement for the airway resistance (flow resistance of the
respiratory gas) which must be overcome during inspiration and

Threshold which must be reached for the ventilator to recognize
the patient's effort to inhale. The trigger threshold can be set in the
Trigger threshold unit:
– Inspiratory: 1 l/min - 15 l/min and out.
– Expiratory: 5% - 50% of maximum flow
Time slot in which the patient can trigger a mechanical breath by
his/her efforts to inhale (triggers). The length of the trigger time
slot depends on the ventilation mode and its settings. Examples:
Trigger time slot
With SIMV + ASB this is 20% of the expiration time before the
mandatory mechanical breath; with S-IPPV it is % of the expiration
time.
Volume-controlled ventilation determines the volume which is
administered to the patient (tidal volume Vt as the control variable).
Volume-controlled ventilation
Airway pressure results from the compliance of the lungs and the
inhaled volume. Example: IPPV ventilation mode.
