Philips Trilogy 202 - Trilogy Ventilator - Soma Tech IntlThe ventilator can operator from a 12 VDC deep cycle marine-type (lead acid) battery using the Respironics Trilogy ventilator External Battery Cable. This cable is pre-wired and properly terminated to ensure safe connection of an external battery to the ventilator. Battery operating time depends on the characteristics of the batter and usage of the device. Due to a variety of factors, including battery chemistry, battery age, and use profile, the capacity of the external battery is shown on the Trilogy ventilator display is only an estimate of the actual remaining capacity.

Detachable Battery

Respironics offers a detachable Lithium-ion battery pack. To use the detachable battery pack, snap the battery into place on the back of the ventilator. When the device is not connected to an AC power source or an external battery, the detachable battery will power the device, if attached. The length of time the ventilator will operate on battery power depends on many factors such as device settings, battery charge level, and condition or age of the battery. When fully charged, a new battery can power the ventilator for approximately three hours under typical patient conditions.

Whenever the ventilator is connected to AC power, it will automatically recharge the detachable battery pack. A completely discharge detachable battery will reach 80% charge status within 8 hours when charging at approximately 73 degrees Fahrenheit or 23 degrees Celsius ambient temperatures.

One side of the detachable battery has a set of LEDs that indicate the amount of charge left on the battery. You can press the button below the LEDs to view how much charge remains.

Internal battery

The device contains an internal battery that can be used as a backup power source. It is intended for use during short periods while switching between external power sources, emergency situations, or short durations when the user needs to be mobile. The length of time the ventilator will operate on internal power depends on many factors such as device settings, battery charge level, and condition or age of the battery. When fully charged, a new battery can power the ventilator for approximately three hours under typical patient condition.

Frequently Asked Trilogy Ventilator Questions

What does the Trilogy 202 do?

The Philips Respironics Trilogy ventilator is an easy-to-use, lightweight, and versatile ventilator. Not only is this trilogy ventilator a volume-control ventilator, it is also a pressure-control ventilator. Supporting both invasive and noninvasive ventilation, the Trilogy ventilator supports both active and passive exhalation breathing circuits to accommodate changes in circuit preferences. It has a unique ability to compensate for leaks in both pressure and volume-control modes and has the ability to use simple passive circuits resulting in significant time and cost savings.

What is a BiPAP ventilator?

BiPAP stands for bilevel positive airway pressure. Unlike CPAP that uses a single continuous pressure, BiPAP uses two different pressures, one for inhalation (IPAP), and one for exhalation (EPAP). A BiPAP ventilator also referred to a BPAP ventilator, can be used to sense a significant shift in the patients breathing and compensate for this by adjusting pressures to maintain a steady breathing pattern. Sometimes patients cannot tolerate the continuous pressure delivered in a CPAP. Either the pressure is too high for them to adjust, or they struggle to exhale against the incoming pressure. BiPAP allows for a lighter EPAP pressure to make it easier to exhale.

What is a home ventilator used for?

A home ventilator is either used in a hospice setting for ultimate comfort during palliative care, or for ventilation at home. People with pulmonary diseases, such as COPD use ventilators at home. Their disease renders them unable to do basic tasks until their lungs are filled with oxygen that they normally can’t breathe in on their own.

What is a trilogy device?

A trilogy ventilator is one that is also a ventilator. This ventilator helps to treat respiratory infections or respiratory diseases where a person needs assistance because they can not breathe on their own.

What is the difference between a trilogy and a BiPAP?

The trilogy ventilator can deliver either BiPAP or CPAP ventilation. BiPAP ventilation is when there are two pressure levels to the ventilation. The trilogy ventilator works on CPAP.

What is the difference between BiPAP and CPAP?

BiPAP and CPAP are both different modes of ventilation. CPAP is a continuous level of ventilation. BiPAP is used when there are two pressure levels. This is for people who need positive air pressure.

How does a ventilator work?

A ventilator works as it blows oxygen into the lungs for people who otherwise can’t breathe well on their own. The oxygen goes into the lungs and is distributed to the heart where it is carried by the blood to other parts of the body.

Is being on a ventilator the same as life support?

Being on a ventilator and being on life support are two completely different situations. Life support is when a person is completely unconscious and can be in a coma. They would have invasive ventilation performed on them. Someone who is conscious can have noninvasive ventilation performed on them. This would be just the oxygen mask.
