Air Liquide Healthcare EOVE-150
Air Liquide Healthcare · Model EOVE-150
Ventilator Based on an innovative blower design with fast response time down to 80ms, EOVE-150 ventilator offers best in class ventilation features for pediatric and adult patients with smart sensitive triggers and a wide range of tidal volume from 30 to 2500ml. Combining single or double branch circuit with tidal volume down to 30 ml and respiratory rate up to 80 bpm, EOVE-150 ventilators offers great performance to treat newborn patient.
Key tips
- ·Never disable a low-pressure/circuit-disconnect alarm while troubleshooting - silence it, don't disable it.
- ·Verify the O2 supply source and pressure before assuming an internal fault.
- ·Circuit type must match the patient population (adult/pediatric/neonatal) - a mismatched circuit invalidates delivered volumes.
Typical Failure Modes
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
Exhalation valve leak / failure
HighSymptoms: Low exhaled tidal volume, high leak alarm, inability to maintain PEEP.
Root cause: Diaphragm/valve degraded by secretions and cleaning cycles.
Flow / pressure sensor drift
MediumSymptoms: Inaccurate delivered volume, false volume/pressure alarms.
Root cause: Sensor contamination or aging of differential-pressure transducer.
Power supply / battery failure
HighSymptoms: Unexpected shutdown, persistent low-battery alarm.
Root cause: Aged internal battery or failed PSU.
O2 blender / mixer fault
MediumSymptoms: FiO2 out of range, oxygen alarm.
Root cause: Failed solenoid or proportional valve in blender.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Daily pre-use check: self-test, circuit integrity, alarm function
- ·Scheduled circuit and inspiratory filter replacement per manufacturer interval
- ·Flow and pressure sensor calibration verification
- ·Battery load test and runtime check
- ·Annual full PM and electrical safety test
Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Exhalation valve leak / failure
- Confirm the presentation - typically low exhaled tidal volume, high leak alarm, inability to maintain PEEP - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: diaphragm/valve degraded by secretions and cleaning cycles.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the exhalation valve assembly per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
