PRODUCT BULLETIN
Bulletin Number: 204
Month/Year: December 2006
Distribution: Global
Date of implementation: Immediate

New build of Elisee 150 with new software version 2.32

This new build standard is the first step to the constant process of quality improvement we put in place to reach the
ResMed quality level.

• Production has started and this new version can be easily recognized by a blue sticker in the battery
compartment (see pictures at the end of this bulletin).

• The first unit manufactured has the serial number EL2D 06 12 001

• The Product Code is the same

• The manual is available in English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish.

• A new incoming control procedure II0612207-1, specific to this 2.4.0 hardware revision, is available
through Saime Technical Support.

What is new?

• Li-ion Battery Technology is lighter and provides a longer autonomy

Internal Battery : 7 to 8 hrs (compared to 5 hrs)
External Battery : 7 to 8 hrs (compared to 5 hrs)
Total: 14 to 16 hrs (compared to 10 hrs)
Charging time 5H30 one battery (either internal or external)
4,45 Kg total weight with external battery pack (compared to 5,2 Kg)

• Vti and Vte drift during heating of the machine

Tidal Volume calibration now uses inspiratory gas and ambient temperature measurements
Use of a more accurate Expiratory. Sensor ( twice the sensitivity level).

• New Expiratory Auto calibration of the valve

Expiratory auto calibration of the valve is now part of Manual test (different valves can be used)

• Top cover technical Design improved

Redesigned to improve the screen assembly
New seal for improving watertightness

• Software modifications
- SW Modifications to manage Li-ion Battery Technology integration
- SW Modifications to manage Vt drift and expiratory valve auto calibration
- “mains missing” icon is no longer displayed when the power supply is connected externally
- In Paediatrics the low pressure alarm delay is now dependant on the ventilation rate and is computed according to
the following formula: 15s – rate/5. For example a child with a 50 bpm respiratory rate, the low pressure alarm delay is
15s – 50/5 = 5s (compared to 2.4 s or two cycles).
- Clinical setting access can be available permanently
- Addition of a configurable low pressure alarm for use with a single branch breathing circuit configuration in Volumetric
mode
- It is no longer possible to override the high pressure alarm in PS.VS
- The minimum displayed measurement is 20% for better evaluation of leaks by the device
- New quick orange Flash indicator when the battery temperature is too high

• New External Battery pack

Please note that the Li-Ion external battery pack with reference number S/E013665 (Li-Ion battery pack only) or
PAC013729 (Li-Ion battery pack with external power supply cable) can only be used on Li-Ion compatible Elisée
devices.

External Li-Ion packs and Elisée devices which are Li-Ion compatible have blue identification labels (see below):

External NiMH packs and Elisée devices which are NiMH compatible have grey labels
