 WARNING:
To avoid injury to the patient and/or possible damage to the V4C-O2E Oxygen Mixer: before using
the V4C-O2E Oxygen Mixer, use appropriate equipment to regulate the oxygen supply to
specifications before connecting the V4C-O2E Oxygen Mixer to the oxygen supply.
 WARNING:
Ensure sufficient supply of oxygen is available for the duration of ventilation.
 WARNING:
If the oxygen supplied to the V4C-O2E Oxygen Mixer is less than 100% O
2
the maximum FiO
2
delivery will be decreased.
 WARNING:
Turn off oxygen supply if abnormal behavior of the device is observed and provide the patient
with an alternative means of ventilation.
 WARNING:
Oxygen flow to the ventilation system will begin automatically when an active breathing mode is
selected. The V4C-O2E Oxygen Mixer will terminate oxygen flow when the ventilator is not in an
active breathing mode.
 WARNING:
In the event of power loss to the ventilator, oxygen delivery to the Oxygen Mixer will cease
immediately. Safety valves on the V4C-O2E Oxygen Mixer ensure that room air is always available
to the ventilator in all fault conditions, including in an oxygen loss scenario.
 WARNING:
Never use the V4C-O2E Oxygen Mixer and the low pressure oxygen port of the compatible
ventilator simultaneously. Only one source of oxygen can be delivered to the ventilator during
use.
 WARNING:
Never use the V4C-O2E Oxygen Mixer without an appropriate FiO
2
monitor. Always ensure that
the sensor has been properly calibrated before use. See Section 5.1, FiO
2 Sensor Calibration
for
calibration instructions.
 WARNING:
Never use the V4C-O2E Oxygen Mixer without appropriately setting both high and low FiO
2
alarms
on the compatible ventilator or FiO
2
monitor.
