Connecting Patient Circuit and Gas Supply
In this part of the O-Two e700 ventilator training video, viewers are guided through the proper steps to connect the patient breathing circuit and gas supply:
Oxygen Supply Connection:
Attach the high-pressure oxygen supply hose to the 9/16-inch DISS (Diameter Index Safety System) connector.
Hand-tighten only — do not use tools.
Sensor Hose Setup:
Connect the sensor hose with the lower locking mechanism to Sensor Connector #1.
Attach the second sensor hose to Connector #2 by simply pushing it on.
Breathing Circuit Connection:
Connect the 22mm breathing circuit hose to the male 22mm outlet on the ventilator.
The other end of the oxygen supply hose should be connected to a regulated oxygen source — either a gas cylinder or a wall outlet.
Gas Supply Activation:
Turn on the gas supply slowly and fully.
Patient Safety Precaution:
Do not connect the breathing circuit to the patient while attaching the circuit to the ventilator.
Optional Filter Use:
A breathing circuit filter may be used, but it must be placed between the patient connection and the mask or ET tube.
Elbow Connector Note:
Ensure the elbow connector is always present and properly connected, as it is prone to falling off.
This connector links the breathing circuit to the patient’s mask or endotracheal (ET) tube.
This segment emphasizes accuracy and safety, ensuring that each component is securely and correctly connected before initiating ventilation.

Battery
This part of the video explains how the O-Two e700 ventilator is powered and provides step-by-step instructions for installing the internal battery.
The O2E700 can operate using either its internal rechargeable battery or an external AC/DC power supply. For safety and uninterrupted ventilation, a fully charged battery must always be installed, even when using an external power source. This ensures continuous operation in case of power failure or disconnection.
Battery Installation Steps:
Ensure safety first – Turn off the ventilator and unplug it from the electrical supply.
Open the battery compartment by turning the yellow screw knobs on the cover counterclockwise.
Connect the battery leads carefully.
Close the battery compartment and turn the yellow knobs clockwise to secure it.
• Important Tip:
When replacing the battery, never pull it by the connectors. Instead, use the battery standoff to gently remove it after disconnecting the leads.
Quick Start
This segment of the video demonstrates how to quickly power on the O-Two e700 ventilator and begin the initial setup.
Turning On the Device:
Press and hold the On/Off key for one second.
Upon startup, the ventilator displays three patient silhouettes representing:
Infant
Child
Adult
Patient Size Selection:
Rotate the control knob to highlight the desired patient size.
Press the control knob to confirm your selection.
If no selection is made within 20 seconds, the ventilator will automatically default to Child mode.
Each patient category includes preset ventilation parameters to simplify and speed up the setup process, allowing caregivers to begin ventilation promptly without needing to manually configure initial settings.
Ventilator Controls
This section of the video provides an overview of the user interface and control elements used to operate the O-Two e700 ventilator. The device is managed using a combination of membrane keys and a control selection knob, allowing users to access and adjust ventilation settings easily.
Main Controls and Their Functions:
On/Off Button
Press for 1 second to power on the ventilator.
Press for 4 seconds to power off the ventilator.
Control Selection Knob
Rotate to navigate settings and modes.
Press to confirm selections.
Manual Key
During exhalation, pressing this key delivers a mandatory breath using the set flow or pressure.
Holding the key after inspiratory time triggers the inspiratory hold function (up to 6 seconds), maintaining lung pressure by closing the exhalation port.
After the hold time, the ventilator automatically transitions to the exhalation phase.
Enabled in all modes except CPAP and CPR.
Brightness Key
Adjusts screen color and contrast for better visibility.
Silence Key
Mutes audible alarms for 2 minutes.
Can be used proactively even when no alarm is active.
Displays a mute symbol on the screen.
Pause Key
Pauses ventilation while keeping other controls active (except Manual).
Activates a pause symbol and confirmation prompt on the screen.
If not confirmed by pressing the knob within 10 seconds, the pause is canceled.
Lock Key
Disables all buttons except On/Off, Silence, Brightness, and the Control Knob.
Displays a lock icon to indicate the function is active.
Press again to unlock.
Waveform Selection Key
Toggles between pressure and flow waveforms on the display.
Cancel Key
Cancels the last unconfirmed changes and restores previous settings.

Endotracheal or tracheostomy tube obstruction
Excessive condensation in the ventilator circuit
Downward migration of the endotracheal tube into a mainstem bronchus
Bronchospasm
Patient clashing with the ventilator
