Philips Respironics BiPAP Machine A40 Unit with 1096770 Detachable Battery Module with Li-ion Battery
Pre-Owned BiPAP Machine Philips Respironics A40 Pro with 1096770 Battery Module and Heated Humidifier
This pre-owned BiPAP machine is a Philips Respironics BiPAP A40 Pro bi-level non-invasive ventilator built for patients with chronic and complex respiratory insufficiency. It is indicated for adult and paediatric patients above 10 kg and is used in hospitals, sleep laboratories and home ventilation programmes. This unit is supplied with the 1096770 detachable battery module and lithium-ion battery, together with the heated humidifier and water chamber.
The A40 Pro adapts therapy to changing patient conditions and delivers the lowest effective pressure while maintaining ventilation quality. AVAPS holds a target tidal volume by adjusting pressure support, AVAPS-AE additionally monitors upper airway resistance and adjusts EPAP to keep the airway patent, and Automated Airway Management supports patients with overlapping breathing syndromes. Auto-Trak synchronisation with leak compensation keeps the device responsive to weak respiratory drive, which matters for neuromuscular and hypoventilation cases.
Visual Leak gives a real-time indication of total circuit leak, which helps the clinical team resolve mask fit problems quickly. The device connects to Philips Care Orchestrator for remote therapy review and patient management. Operation is quiet at around 30 dBA and the housing is compact enough for long-term domiciliary use while retaining the performance expected in a hospital NIV service.

Mandatory before any clinical use
- This device must be commissioned and function tested by a qualified ventilator engineer before it is used on a patient.
- Ventilation modes, pressures, backup rate, tidal volume targets and alarm limits must be set only by or under the direction of the responsible clinician.
- A fresh patient circuit and fresh air inlet filters are mandatory. A fresh water chamber is strongly advised for a new patient.
- This unit is not sold for life-support ventilation. It is a non-life-support bi-level device and must not be used where uninterrupted ventilation is required to sustain life.

Pre-owned battery module
The lithium-ion battery supplied with this unit is pre-owned. The usable capacity of any lithium-ion cell falls with age and cycle count, so the runtime achieved will be lower than that of a fresh cell and cannot be stated for this unit. The battery must be assessed by the commissioning engineer and must not be relied upon as the sole power source for a patient. Where mains independence is clinically required, a fresh battery should be fitted before the device enters service.
Pre-owned electrical equipment
The unit has been cleaned and visually inspected. An engineer electrical safety test is recommended before clinical use, alongside the ventilator function test described above. The photographs form part of the description and show the actual condition of the item offered.
Supplementary oxygen safety
Where oxygen is added to the circuit, keep the device and circuit away from smoking, naked flames and any source of ignition. Do not use oil, grease or petroleum based products on or near the equipment. Use the device in a ventilated room and keep the air intake and filter area unobstructed. Oxygen flow must be set by the responsible clinician and the oxygen source must be turned off when the device is not running.
Humidifier and water chamber
Fill the chamber with distilled water only. Tap water leaves mineral deposits that damage the chamber and reduce humidifier performance. Empty and dry the chamber daily and clean it before first use in a new patient. The chamber is a consumable component and should be renewed at the interval given in the instructions for use.
Routine care guidance
| Component | Action | Interval |
|---|---|---|
| Reusable foam filter | Wash in warm water with mild detergent, air dry fully before refitting | Weekly |
| Disposable ultrafine filter | Fit a fresh filter, or sooner if visibly soiled | Monthly |
| Patient circuit | Clean per the circuit instructions, inspect for splits and leaks | Weekly |
| Water chamber | Empty, rinse and dry, refill with fresh distilled water | Daily |
| Device exterior | Wipe with a damp cloth, device disconnected from the mains | Weekly |
| Mask and headgear | Clean per the interface instructions | Per interface guidance |
Intervals above are general guidance for a single patient in a domiciliary setting. Institutional decontamination policy and the manufacturer instructions for use take precedence.
