The disclosure describes a novel respiratory system including a removable primary display and system status display. Further, the disclosure describes a novel method for displaying ventilator information and a novel method for controlling a ventilator system.
1. A method for displaying ventilation information on a ventilation system comprising:
monitoring any power source utilized by a ventilation system with a processor;
monitoring a power status of the ventilation system with the processor;
displaying a first set of data on a primary display and a second set of data on a secondary display when the ventilator system is turned on; and
displaying at least one of ventilator identification information and ventilator maintenance information on a system status display controlled by the processor when the ventilation system is turned off and receiving power from an external power source.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ventilator maintenance information comprises test information, the test information comprises at least one of:
a test performed on the ventilation system,
a test result of the test performed on the ventilation system,
a test date of the test performed on the ventilation system, and
a test time of the test performed on the ventilation system.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ventilator maintenance information comprises service information, the service information comprises at least one of:
a service date of the ventilation system,
a time of service performed on the ventilation system,
a service type performed on the ventilation system,
a service reminder for the ventilation system, and
a preventative service date for the ventilation system.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ventilator maintenance information comprises service information, the service information comprises at least one of:
a gas source service date performed on the ventilation system,
a gas source service time performed on the ventilation system,
a type of gas source service performed on the ventilation system,
a gas source service reminder for the ventilation system, and
a preventative gas source service date for the ventilation system.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ventilator identification information comprises at least one of:
a manufacturer,
a manufacturer identification number,
an owner identification number,
owner information,
a model number, and
a production date.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ventilator identification information comprises:
an owner identification number, and
an owner name.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the primary display is removable from the ventilation system.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of displaying the at least one of the ventilator identification information and the ventilator maintenance information on the system status display comprises,
displaying a date, a time, and a result of a most recently performed short self test on the ventilation system; and
displaying a date, a time, and a result of a most recently performed extended self test on the ventilation system.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of displaying at least one of the ventilator identification information and the ventilator maintenance information on the system status display comprises displaying a most recent date and time the ventilation system received maintenance and a number of hours the ventilation system can be utilized to ventilate a patient until the ventilation system requires maintenance.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising monitoring the maintenance information of the ventilation system.
11. A method for displaying ventilation information on a ventilation system comprising:
monitoring the power source utilized by the ventilation system with a processor; and
monitoring the power status of the ventilation system with the processor;
monitoring a system status display power switch;
displaying a first set of data on a primary display and a second set of data on a secondary display when the ventilator system is turned on; and
displaying at least one of ventilator identification information and ventilator maintenance information on a system status display controlled by the processor when the ventilation system is turned off, receiving power from at least one a battery, and the system status display is switched on.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the primary display is removable from the ventilation system.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the ventilator identification information comprises at least one of:
a manufacturer,
a manufacturer identification number,
an owner identification number,
owner information,
a model number, and
a production date.
14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the ventilator maintenance information comprises at least one of:
a test performed on the ventilation system,
a test result from the test performed on the ventilation system,
a test date of the test performed on the ventilation system,
a test time of the test performed on the ventilation system,
a service date of the ventilation system,
a service type performed on the ventilation system,
a service reminder for the ventilation system,
a preventative service date for the ventilation system,
a gas source service date performed on the ventilation system,
a gas source service time performed on the ventilation system,
a type of gas source service performed on the ventilation system,
a gas source service reminder for the ventilation system, and
a preventative gas source service date for the ventilator system.
15. The method of claim 11 , further comprising monitoring the maintenance information of the ventilation system.
