Vyaire LTV2 Series
Vyaire · Model LTV2 Series
Turbine technology eliminates the need for a high-pressure air source Oxygen resource management tool reduces oxygen consumption * 2200 model only Enhanced patient comfort and care with flow trigger and internal PEEP compensation Optimization trial settings Versatility with highly customizable settings to support patient success Hot swappable battery Low cost of ownership Data output capabilities NPPV enhancements Sigh breath for more natural breathing Improved power capabilities Institutional use and for intra-hospital transport Easy to read displays Comprehensive monitoring Supports invasive and non-invasive applications The LTV2 has been authorized by the FDA under an emergency use authorization to provide continuous or intermittent ventilatory support for the care of individuals who require mechanical ventilation. The LTV2 is for institutional use only and shall only be utilized for the duration of the public health emergency.
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
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Fails the pre-use self-test / circuit check
HighSymptoms: Self-test fault, circuit-leak or compliance-check failure, will not be released for use.
Root cause: Patient-circuit / expiratory-valve leak, a flow-sensor fault, an O2-cell fault, or an internal pneumatic fault.
Flow / volume delivery inaccurate
HighSymptoms: Delivered tidal volume or flow does not match the setting, or fails the annual verification.
Root cause: Flow-sensor drift / contamination, an inspiratory / expiratory valve fault, or a blender / proportioning-valve fault.
O2 / air supply or blender fault
MediumSymptoms: Low-supply alarm, FiO2 not matching the setting, O2-cell reads wrong.
Root cause: Wall / cylinder supply issue, an inlet filter / regulator fault, the blender, or an aged O2 cell.
PEEP not held / high circuit pressure
MediumSymptoms: PEEP drifts, auto-PEEP, high-pressure alarms, poor exhalation.
Root cause: Worn or wet expiratory valve / diaphragm, or a blocked exhalation path.
Battery / power fault
MediumSymptoms: Short internal-battery run time, will not charge, transfers to battery unexpectedly.
Root cause: Aged internal battery or a power-supply fault.
Turbine / compressor fault (turbine units)
MediumSymptoms: Noisy operation, cannot meet flow demand, turbine / compressor alarm.
Root cause: Worn turbine / compressor.

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 starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Fails the pre-use self-test
- Run the self-test with the exact circuit and humidifier that will be used.
- Leak-test the circuit and the expiratory valve; fit fresh flow sensors and an O2 cell if due.
- Repeat the self-test.
- Calibrate the O2 cell and flow sensors per the manual.
- Remove from service and refer an internal pneumatic fault to the OEM / biomed.
Symptom: Delivered volume or FiO2 wrong
- Verify tidal volume / flow with a calibrated gas-flow analyser and FiO2 with an analyser at the wye.
- Calibrate the flow sensors and O2 cell.
- Inspect the inspiratory / expiratory valves.
- Check the air / O2 supply pressures and inlet filters.
- Refer the blender / proportioning valve for service if the mix is still wrong.
