WARNINGS
This manual excludes references to various hazards which are

obvious to medical professionals and operators of this equipment
including consequences of product misuse, and potential adverse
5-1effects in patients with abnormal conditions. OPR360U A0509
Product modification or misuse can be dangerous. Newport Medical

Instruments, Inc. disclaims all liability for the consequences of
1-2 SERHT70 A0210

Introduction 1
product alterations or modifications, as well as for the consequences
which might result from the combination of this ventilator with
other products, whether supplied by Newport Medical or by other
manufacturers, unless such a combination has been specifically
endorsed by Newport Medical.
OPR360U A0509 5-1
There is a risk of explosion if used in the presence of flammable

anesthetics.
All settings and adjustments in the different ventilation modes must

be made in accordance with a physician’s prescribed therapy.
Adding attachments or other components or sub-assemblies to the

ventilator breathing system can increase the pressure gradient across
the ventilator breathing system, measured with respect to the patient
connection port.
Newport Medical cannot warrant or endorse the safe performance of

third party humidifiers for use with the HT70™.
Do not use electrically conductive patient circuits.
Always use a clean and dry patient circuit.
Do not block the Emergency Gas Intake or the Fresh Gas Intake Port.
Ensure the air inlet filter is inspected and changed regularly.
Always use an inline filter (P/N: HT6004701 or equivalent) at the

Airway Pressure Connector to protect the internal transducers from
moisture or other contaminants.
Always use appropriate patient monitors (such as pulse oximeter and/

or capnograph) to ensure sufficient oxygenation and ventilation when
the HT70 Ventilator is in use on a patient.
The optional Air/Oxygen Entrainment Mixer is designed to operate

with medical grade oxygen.
Ensure the oxygen source is not empty before and during the use of
the optional Air/Oxygen Entrainment Mixer or Oxygen Blending Bag
5-1 Kit. OPR360U A0509
When the optional Air/Oxygen Mixer is secured in place, ensure that

the oxygen supply is enabled prior to powering on the HT70 to avoid
putting unnecessary stress on the internal pump and compromising
gas delivery to the patient.
SERHT70 A0210 1-3

1 Introduction
Continuous oxygen monitoring is required for patient safety. The
optional built-in Oxygen Monitoring System on the HT70 includes
both High and Low FiO2 alarms which can be used to assure proper
oxygen delivery.
OPR360U A0509 5-1
The ventilator is ready for operation only when:
a) It is completely assembled.
b) The Quick Check Procedure including the Circuit Check

(Section 4, HT70 Operating Manual) or the Operational
Verification Procedure (OVP) has been successfully
completed.
Constant attention by qualified medical personnel or trained

caregiver is required whenever a patient is connected to a ventilator.
When the HT70 is used in homecare environments, proper education

and training of the appointed caregiver must be provided by the
dispensing healthcare facility or the Durable Medical Equipment
(DME) provider prior to the patient leaving the healthcare facility.
If a fault is detected in the ventilator and the life support functions are
in doubt, immediately discontinue use of the ventilator. Change to an
alternative method of ventilation until the fault has been corrected.
Contact the dispensing healthcare facility or Durable Medical
Equipment (DME) provider immediately.
Always ensure that the caregiver can hear the audible alert when the
alarm sounds. Do not use the ventilator in an environment where the
audible alarms cannot be heard by the caregivers when set at the
maximum volume.
Failure to identify and correct alarm violations may result in patient

injury.
When oxygen is in use, oxygen monitoring is required for patient

safety.
The primary Power Pac battery should be replaced every 24 months

(from the date of purchase) or sooner if the usage time no longer
5-1meets the requirements of the user, whichever comes sooner. This
OPR360U A0509
battery performance will depend on a number of factors including the
patient settings and usage patterns.
1-4 SERHT70 A0210

Introduction 1
The Backup Battery should be replaced every 10,000 operational
hours or every 36 months (from the date of purchase), whichever
comes sooner.
The HT70 is life support equipment. As with all life support

OPR360U A0509 5-1
equipment, an appropriate alternate power source and means of
ventilation should be readily available in case of a mechanical or
system failure.
When the HT70 is used for transport applications, ensure that the
Power Pac battery is fully charged prior to use. The Power Pac
battery requires a constant charge of at least three (3) hours to
achieve a 100% full charge.
The transport of patients using the HT70 requires the medical staff
to have a good working knowledge of the ventilator use and problem
resolution. Ensure proper emergency backup equipment is readily
available during transport.
When the Battery Empty audible alarm sounds, only a limited time of
internal battery power remains and an alternate power source should
be found immediately.
Always plug the HT70 into an external power supply source when not
in use to ensure the best battery performance. Check the battery
capacity on the front panel before disconnecting from external
power.
Verify the green External Power LED activates when the HT70 is
connected to an external AC or DC power source.
Only use the Newport Medical supplied AC Power Supply (P/N:

PWR3202P) with the HT70 ventilator.
To maintain grounding integrity, ensure the HT70 power cord is

attached to a known good receptacle with a secure connection.
Always disconnect the external power supply prior to servicing.
The functioning of this machine may be adversely affected by the

operation of equipment, such as high frequency surgical (diathermy)
5-1 equipment, defibrillators or short-wave therapy equipmentOPR360U

Device Description
The Newport HT70 ventilator is a state of the art ventilator that
combines ruggedness, exceptional mobility and ease of use with 5-1
clinical proficiency to provide ventilatory support for infant, pediatric
OPR360U A0509
and adult patients. The HT70 is built for hard work with a durable
polymer exterior and robust overall design that stands up to the
harsh environments found in the world of emergency response,
transport and homecare ventilation.
The unique design of the HT70 provides maximum mobility and

safety for short or long distance transport of critically ill patients
and for patients to enjoy their normal activities of daily life. This
exceptional mobility is derived from two sources: the patented, power
conserving dual-micro-piston technology which eliminates the need
for an external compressed gas source, and the Integrated Battery
System which allows virtually continuous use from battery power
through hot-swappable technology.
The Integrated Battery System consists of two independent but

coordinated Lithium ion batteries – the Power Pac™ battery, located
on the back of the ventilator, and, the Backup Battery, located inside
the HT70™. When new and fully charged, the Integrated Battery
System can provide up to 10 hours of operation at standard settings.
The Backup Battery maintains operation without interruption when

the Power Pac is swapped out and also provides a minimum of 30
minutes operation when all other power sources are depleted.
The HT70 may be operated from the following power sources:

A.C. (100-240 VAC @ 50 / 60), D.C. (12-16 VDC) external power
source, HT70 Integrated Battery System, or the optional D.C. Auto
Lighter Power Adapter accessory which enables connection to an
automobile-type D.C. outlet.
All controls are easily found on the front touch screen and panel.
There are no complicated menus or difficult sequences to follow in
order to make necessary adjustments for common operations.
The compact lightweight HT70 ventilator incorporates powerful

clinical capability for both invasive and non-invasive applications. The
5-1 OPR360U
dual micro-piston ability to deliver variable flow enables the HT70A0509to
provide a full range of operating modes and breath types with servo-
controlled, leak-compensated PEEP.
SERHT70 A0210 3-1

The HT70 provides monitoring of inspiratory tidal volume (every
breath), inspiratory minute volume, total respiratory rate, peak
pressure, mean pressure and baseline (PEEP) pressure.
A comprehensive alarm system is built-in to alert the user to

OPR360U A0509 5-1
violations of user-set or ventilator set safety limits. An optional built-in
oxygen monitor with high and low FiO2 alarms may be added.
Gas delivery to the patient may be enriched with oxygen (0.21-1.00)

using either the optional Oxygen Adapter.
The HT70 has been tested for and meets the requirements for use in
a medical evacuation helicopter and fixed wing transport.
Functional Subsystems Overview

Pneumatics System
The Newport HT70 pneumatics system consists of three subsystems:

gas delivery, exhalation control, and safety. The gas delivery
subsystem drives the movement of air into the lungs of the patient by
converting electrical energy into positive air pressure. The exhalation
control subsystem changes the breathing cycle from inspiration to
expiration and provides positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP). The
safety subsystem protects the patient by preventing high pressure
and providing a capability to breathe in ambient air in the case of a
potential failure of the ventilator. In addition, the safety subsystem is
used to measure the air pressure requirements for ventilator safety,
control, and monitoring. Refer to the section 8:
Diagram 8.1 – Pneumatics System Diagram.
Gas Delivery Subsystem
The gas delivery subsystem draws in air through the cover and inlet
filter on the right-hand side of the ventilator when facing the HT70.
The semi-transparent cover allows the user to directly view the
condition of the filter and easily remove the cover to allow for periodic
replacement of the inlet filter. The air continues into the muffler, to
reach the inlet side of the pump.
The HT70 does not require a gas source unless oxygen (O2)
5-1enrichment is desired. OPR360U A0509
For oxygen enrichment, an optional oxygen
mixer or low flow oxygen adapter kit may be used. Both items
connect to the air intake filter cover and allow the manual adjustment
of oxygen enrichment from 21% to 100%. The low flow oxygen
adapter provides a low flow of oxygen up to 10 L/min.
3-2 SERHT70 A0210

Exhalation Valve Control Subsystem
The exhalation valve control subsystem connects within the manifold

at the outlet port of the air delivery section. During inspiration, the
expiratory valve control circuit actuates the exhalation control On/
OPR360U A0509 5-1
Off valve to pressurize the exhalation valve drive line. When Positive
End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) is required, the exhalation control
proportional solenoid valve applies pressure to the exhalation valve
diaphragm, provides resistance to the expiratory flow, and maintains
the patient airway pressure at a set level.
Safety Subsystem
The mechanical relief valve provides the primary high pressure

relief function which opens at a pressure of 105 cmH2O. The safety
valve provides secondary high pressure relief function by actuating
whenever the pressure exceeds 120 cmH2O. In the event of a pump
failure, the safety system allows the patient to draw ambient air into
the breathing circuit through the emergency intake valve and exhale
through the exhalation valve. If an occlusion blocks the circuit
for greater than 10 seconds, the safety valve opens and relieves
pressure in the patient circuit.
Electronics System
The microprocessor-based design incorporates a Graphical User

Interface (GUI), a Single Board Computer (SBC), and the electronics
to control the motor/pump, power management, and safety functions
of the HT70.
Refer to section 8: Diagram 8.2 – Electronics System Diagram.
Graphical User Interface (GUI) Subsystem
The Graphical User Interface (GUI) consists of a Touch Screen LCD

display, membrane panels with embedded discrete Light Emitting
Diodes (LED), Display Board, Single Board Computer (SBC) and Main
Control Board, and supporting electronics. Refer to the Graphical
User Interface Diagram, Diagram 3.3.
The touch screen overlays the LCD display and the modes and
5-1 functions are shown on the LCD display. The user can select
OPR360UorA0509
change these parameters by pressing the soft keys shown on the
LCD display.
SERHT70 A0210 3-3

The HT70 powers up into a standby condition, in which, there is
no patient ventilation occurring and no alarms generated. Upon
completion of programming the patient settings while in the standby
mode, the user can begin patient ventilation by pressing the ‘Start
Ventilation’ soft key displayed on the LCD.
OPR360U A0509 5-1
The membrane keys and the LEDs are controlled by the

microcontroller on the SBC board.
Diagram 3.3 – Graphical User Interface Diagram
Servo-controlled Motor and Pump Subsystem
The servo-controlled motor and pump subsystem utilizes the

software algorithm to execute the servo controls for patient
ventilation based on the patient settings. The software establishes
the flow by controlling the motor speed which drives the piston-
based pump. Refer to Motor and Pump Electronics Diagram,
Diagram 3.4.

OPR360U A0509 5-1
Diagram 3.4 – Motor and Pump Electronics Diagram
Safety Subsystem
The HT70 can be brought to a safe state by the SBC microprocessor

or independently by discrete hardware. The alarm system is
comprised of two separate alarms for clinical alerts and hardware
faults. The clinical alarm uses dual speakers and is controlled by the
SBC microprocessor. The hardware fault alarm uses a piezo buzzer
to indicate a ‘Device Alert’ alarm to force the system into a safe state.
The remote alarm circuit is implemented with a software configurable

set/reset relay which configures the nurse call for either a normally
open or normally closed system. The relay is energized to the no
alarm condition and de-energized to the alarm condition to ensure
that nurse call is activated on loss of power.
Upon alarm activation, the software monitors the status of the signal
to ensure the speaker is active. The device alert alarm uses a high
reliability piezo buzzer powered by a super capacitor to provide an
alarm for a minimum of two minutes at the detection of power loss.
In addition to the audible alarms, the HT70 has dual LED indicators
on the handle to visually display the alarms. When a high priority
alarm is active, both LED indicators flash red. When a medium
priority alarm is active, the red and yellow LED indicators both flash.
When a low priority alarm is active, the LED indicators flash yellow.
5-1 OPR360U A0509
To prevent the accidental shut down of the HT70, the safety

subsystem uses an intelligent On/Off momentary contact switch.
Upon confirmation from the user by pressing the ‘Accept’ membrane
button, software shuts down the system and triggers an alarm. Press
SERHT70 A0210 3-5

the ‘Alarm Silence’ membrane button to silence the alarm. Refer to
Safety Subsystem Electronics Diagram, Diagram 3.5.
OPR360U A0509 5-1
Diagram 3.5 – Safety Subsystem Electronics Diagram
Power Management Subsystem
The HT70 draws power from three sources: external power, Power
Pac™, and Backup Battery. External power to the HT70 is supplied
through the Power Pac™, The Power Pac™ electronics arbitrates the
power source and sends the data to the Main Control board. The
established power precedence is external power, Power Pac™, and
backup battery.
The Power Pac™ battery assembly slides and latches onto the HT70
and allows for easy removal when swapping the Power Pac™ is
required. When swapping the Power Pac™, the HT70 is powered
from the Backup Battery.
The HT70™ Backup Battery is mounted internally and cannot be

swapped by the user. The Backup Battery contains the battery gas
gauge and battery cells. The battery charge electronics is located on
the Main Control Board. Refer to the Power Management Subsystem
Diagram, Diagram 3.6.
5-1 OPR360U A0509
The HT70 Integrated Battery System is charged when connected to
an external power source even while the ventilator is in use.

Ventilation Functions Overview

Modes of Ventilation
A/CMV Mode
(Assist/Control Mandatory Ventilation)
In A/CMV mode, time activated (mandatory) breaths are delivered

in accordance with the RR setting. Patients can trigger mandatory
breaths in addition to, or in place of, time activated (mandatory)
breaths if the effort they generate causes airway pressure to meet the
Ptrig setting. Every such patient effort results in a mandatory breath.
The breath can be volume or pressure controlled. PEEP/CPAP may
be added. In Pressure Control, tidal volume is determined by the
target pressure, i-Time, and patient respiratory mechanics and in
Volume Control, by the tidal volume setting.
SIMV Mode
(Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation)

5-1 OPR360U A0509
In SIMV mode, patients receive a fixed number of volume or pressure
controlled mandatory breaths (time or patient activated) and may
breathe spontaneously between mandatory breaths, with or without
pressure support (Psupport). See Figure 4-1 for schematic illustration.
PEEP/CPAP may be added.
SERHT70 A0210 3-7

The first patient triggered breath in any mandatory breath interval will
be a patient triggered mandatory breath. The patient has the rest of
the interval to breathe spontaneously. If the patient does not trigger
the ventilator, and one complete mandatory breath interval has
elapsed, a time triggered mandatory breath is delivered.
OPR360U A0509 5-1
A mandatory breath lockout interval is activated whenever the patient

triggers a mandatory breath. This limits the number of mandatory
breaths (time triggered or patient triggered) the patient receives in 60
seconds to the RR (b/min) setting.
SPONT Mode
(Spontaneous Ventilation)
In SPONT mode, mandatory breaths are not delivered but the user
can adjust both PEEP/CPAP and pressure support (Psupport) levels.
The patient has control over each breath.
When PEEP/CPAP is set above 0, the ventilator mode is CPAP

(without Psupport) or Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure (with
Psupport). Ensure that Ptrig is set so the HT70 detects all
spontaneous patient efforts.
Entries for tidal volume, respiratory rate, i time and Low Paw alarm
limit are all inactive in SPONT mode. However, users can preset
these parameters for future A/CMV or SIMV operation. As with all
HT70 operating modes, Backup Ventilation is activated if the BUV
linked alarm is violated.
NIV
(Non Invasive Ventilation)
The HT70 can be used for noninvasive ventilation in all modes. Press the
NIV button on the left side of the touch screen to toggle ON noninvasive.
When NIV is on the following features are activated to assist

with noninvasive ventilation:
• Bias flow is increased to help manage leaks.

5-1• The Low Minute Volume alarm can be turned off in the Alarms
OPR360U A0509
screen
• The Low Pressure alarm can be set closer to the base pressure
(within 1 cmH2O /mbar above baseline)
3-8 SERHT70 A0210

BUV
BackUp Ventilation
Backup Ventilation activates when the currently linked alarm occurs.

OPR360U A0509 5-1
This function can be linked with the Low Minute Volume (MVI) alarm,
the Apnea alarm, or both alarms. During Backup
Ventilation the linked alarm(s) will sound and the message window will
indicate that Backup
Ventilation is in use. There are default Backup Ventilation parameters,

but the user may adjust these in the Advanced Screen.
Backup Ventilation is functional in all modes.
Backup Ventilation is not active for 60 seconds after the user adjusts
ventilator controls, changes modes or starts ventilation from the
Setting condition.
During Backup Ventilation, the Alarm Silence/Reset button can be

pressed to silence the audible alarm. This will not cancel Backup
Ventilation.
When linked with the Low Minute Volume alarm, Backup Ventilation
is based on the delivered inspiratory minute volume. The inspiratory
minute volume may be different from the expiratory minute volume in
some conditions, such as in the case of a patient breathing circuit or
airway leak.
Backup Ventilation in A/CMV and SIMV Modes:
The factory default setting for Backup Ventilation in these two modes
will increase the respiratory rate by 1.5 times the set rate, up to a
maximum of 99 b/min. The minimum breath rate delivered is 15 b/
min.
The respiratory rate (RR) will only increase up to a rate that produces
a 1:1 I:E ratio even if the calculated Backup Ventilation rate is higher.
Backup Ventilation in Spont Mode:

5-1 OPR360U A0509
The factory default setting for Backup Ventilation in the SPONT mode
will implement these changes:
SPONT = SIMV mode
SERHT70 A0210 3-9

Rate = 15 b/min
Pressure Control breath type = 15 cmH2O above set PEEP
i-time = 1.0 sec
OPR360U A0509 5-1
Cancellation of Backup Ventilation
User Cancelled
If during Backup Ventilation, the user adjusts any ventilation

parameter, Backup Ventilation is suspended for one minute and all
user selected ventilation parameters are employed.
Sixty (60) seconds must pass after parameter adjustments before a

linked alarm violation will result in Backup Ventilation.
Patient Cancelled
If linked to low minute volume, when delivered inspiratory minute

volume exceeds the Low MVI alarm setting by 10%, Backup
Ventilation is cancelled. If linked to Apnea Alarm, after 2 minutes
of Backup Ventilation it is cancelled. At that time the audible alarm
stops, the alarm indicator latches and the HT70 resumes ventilation
at the user-selected parameters.
Breath Types
PC (Pressure Control Ventilation)
The HT70 targets and maintains patient airway pressure at the set
pressure control level throughout inspiration. Breath termination
occurs when (1) the set i time elapses, or (2) Paw exceeds the
Pressure Control setting by 8 cmH2O (mbar). Maximum airway
pressure never exceeds the user set High P alarm setting.
The target airway pressure for pressure controlled mandatory breaths

in A/CMV and SIMV is the display setting above ambient pressure,
not above PEEP.
Both time and patient triggered mandatory breaths can be delivered

in A/CMV and SIMV Pressure Control operation. During SIMV
5-1Pressure Control operation, patients can breathe spontaneously
between mandatory breaths with or without pressure support.
OPR360U A0509
When disconnecting the patient circuit during PC/PS ventilation,

i.e. for suctioning, the flow may increase in order to compensate for
the low pressure. After reconnecting the patient circuit, the flow will
automatically readjust to meet the patient’s demand.
3-10 SERHT70 A0210

VC (Volume Control Ventilation)
During Volume Control ventilation, tidal volume can be set for

mandatory breaths. If a volume setting is changed while the ventilator
is operating, the change takes place in increments over a series of
OPR360U A0509 5-1
breaths.
When tidal volume is adjusted, inspiratory time remains constant and

mandatory flow changes.
If an attempted tidal volume setting results in a flow rate in excess of

100 L/min or less than
6 L/min, flow adjustment ceases, the user is alerted by an audible

beep, and a message appears in the Message Display Window. To
allow further volume adjustment, change the inspiratory time to set
the Flow to meet the need of the patient.

The ventilator and its accessories must be thoroughly cleaned and

disinfected after each patient use.
Certain components of the ventilator, such as the exhalation valve

and the front panel, consist of materials that are sensitive to some
organic solvents used for cleaning and disinfection (e.g. phenols,
halogen releasing compounds, oxygen releasing compounds, and
strong organic acids). Exposure to such substances may cause
damage that is not immediately recognizable.
The reusable exhalation valve, reusable breathing circuit and other

parts that come in direct contact with the patient should be sterilized
between uses.
Cleaning and Disinfecting

Perform all cleaning and sterilization of external parts and
accessories in conjunction with established hospital policy, physician
prescription, or Homecare Dealer instructions.
Consult accessory manufacturer instructions for specific cleaning,

disinfecting and sterilizing guidelines.
Definition of CLEAN: Employ a medical detergent or alcohol based

cleaning solution to remove blood, tissue and other residue. Rinse
thoroughly with sterile, distilled water, and allow to air dry.
Definition of DISINFECT: Employ liquid chemicals to disinfect.
Definition of Sterilize: Employ pasteurization, steam autoclave or

Ethylene Oxide (EtO) to sterilize.
5-1 OPR360U
Caution: When using liquid chemical agents, closely follow theA0509
manufacturer’s recommendations. Prior to use, verify that the agent
is compatible with plastics.
SERHT70 A0210 4-1

WARNING Ethylene Oxide (EtO) is toxic. All accessories MUST
be completely dry prior to packaging for ethylene oxide sterilizing.
After sterilizing, they must be properly aerated to dissipate residual
gas absorbed by the material. Follow the EtO manufacturer’s
recommendations for the specific aeration periods required.
OPR360U A0509 5-1
Caution: Ethylene Oxide may cause superficial crazing of plastic

components and will accelerate the aging of rubber components.
Caution: Always inspect breathing circuits and accessories after

cleaning, disinfecting or sterilizing to check for deterioration. If the
any part is damaged or shows excessive wear, replace with a new
part. Do not use cracked or damaged parts.
Ventilator
Wipe clean between patients and as needed while in use. The
exterior of the ventilator should be wiped clean with a cloth
dampened with a medical detergent, disinfectant or alcohol based
cleaning solution.
Caution: Do not use agents that contain acetone, toluene,

halogenated hydrocarbons, or strong alkalines on the face panel or
ventilator housing.
Caution: Never autoclave or EtO sterilize the HT70 ventilator. These

processes will damage the
HT70, rendering it unusable.
Reusable Breathing Circuits

The HT70 ventilator may be used with a standard breathing circuit
with a quality exhalation valve.
Reusable breathing circuits are generally provided in clean, but not

sterile, condition. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to clean and/
or disinfect a circuit prior to use.
WARNING Do not use electrically conductive breathing circuits.

Always use clean and dry breathing circuits.
Reusable circuits should be cleaned and disinfected between

patients and once per week while in use. Always use a clean,
5-1disinfected exhalation valve (and humidifier/probe assembly OPR360U
if A0509
appropriate) when a breathing circuit is reassembled for patient
use. Clean and sterilize between patients in accordance with the
instructions provided by the manufacturer.
4-2 SERHT70 A0210

Caution: To avoid damage to a reusable circuit, attach and detach
the circuit by grasping the cuffs at the end of the circuit tubing. Do
not pull or twist the circuit tubing.
General Cleaning Instructions: Use a low flow of running water or

OPR360U A0509 5-1
low flow of air to clear tubings and passages of organic matter.
Wash all components of the breathing circuit with a soft brush. Rinse
thoroughly with sterile, distilled water. Shake off excess water and
place all parts on a clean towel to air dry. Do not heat or blow dry.
Always follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Disinfect: Refer to the instructions provided by the breathing circuit

manufacturer.
Sterilize: Refer to the instructions provided by the breathing circuit

manufacturer.
Air Intake Filter (FLT3208P)

The Air Intake Filter, located on the right side of the ventilator behind
the Filter Cover, keeps dirt and particles out of the ventilator’s piston
system. As the filter becomes dirty it can reduce the volume of air
drawn into the ventilator. Check the Intake filter weekly. Replace with
a new filter when the majority of the filter surface area is no longer
white. Intake filters are not reusable.
WARNING NEVER operate the HT70 without a clean Air Intake Filter
in place. NEVER reverse the Air Intake Filter when dirty.
Fan Filter (FLT3202P)

The fan filter will collect dust as the HT70 draws in air from the room
to cool the interior. Check and clean the fan filter regularly. Replace
as necessary or at least annually.
Proximal Inline Filter (p/n HT6004701)

Check the Proximal (Prox) Inline Filter weekly and replace it every 3
months. Discard it and replace with a new filter if it appears to have
gotten wet or come in contact with a contaminant. Proximal Inline
filters are not reusable. If the filter becomes occluded, replace the
filter. The primary indication for this would be a Low Pressure Alarm
or Prox Line Alarm.
5-1 WARNING Always use a Proximal Inline Filter (p/n HT6004701) at

OPR360U A0509
the Airway Pressure Connector to protect the internal pressure
transducers from moisture or other contaminants.
WARNING Never reverse the Proximal Inline Filter.
SERHT70 A0210 4-3

Newport Medical strongly recommends that extra Prox Inline Filters
be available at all times when using the HT70 ventilator
Caution: Do not wash or sterilize the Prox Inline Filter.

OPR360U A0509 5-1
Maintenance Guidelines
General Information
The maintenance for the HT70 ventilator is separated into three
schedules – routine, preventive, and overhaul. By following the
scheduled maintenance ensures the HT70 continually functions at
an optimum level. Table 4.1 provides a sequential order of service
regarding the required maintenance at specific time intervals.
Example:
Annual Routine Maintenance
1. Inspect and replace the Air Inlet Filter
2. Inspect and replace the Proximal Line Filter
3. Replace the Fan Filter
4. Perform the Operational Verification Procedure (OVP)
Additional factors to ensure the optimum performance of the HT70:

• Replace the air inlet filter when the majority of the filter
surface area has become dirty. The inlet air filter is NOT
reusable.
• NEVER reverse the Air Intake Filter when dirty.
• Replace proximal line filter when it appears wet or
contaminated. The proximal line filters are NOT reusable.
• Inspect the A.C. Power Adapter on a regular basis for signs of
broken or frayed power cord.
• Plug into external power source to charge and maintain the
Power Pac™ and Backup batteries.
• Inspect the exhalation valve after cleaning. Replace if cracks
or damaged surfaces are found.
• Wipe down the surface of the ventilator housing regularly to
5-1 remove any accumulated dust. OPR360U A0509
