assumed that the operator is thoroughly familiar with the Specifications, Theory of Operation, Tests and
Calibration procedures as outlined in this manual. It is also assumed that the ventilator is already fully
assembled, has been tested and calibrated
and is connected to a test lung.
WARNINGS:
ONLY QUALIFIED MEDICAL PERSONNEL SHOULD OPERATE THE
VENTILATOR.
WHENEVER THE CROSSVENT IS CONNECTED TO A PATIENT, A SKILLED
OPERATOR SHOULD BE PRESENT AT ALL TIMES AT THE VENTILATOR OR
WITHIN HEARING RANGE OF THE VENTILATOR’S ALARM SYSTEM.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO VENTILATE A PATIENT UNTIL THOROUGHLY
FAMILIAR WITH ALL OF THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT INTENDED AS
RECOMMENDED CLINICAL PROTOCOLS.
ALWAYS TEST THE VENTILATOR PRIOR TO EACH USE. AFTER SET UP,
VENTILATE A TEST LUNG TO VERIFY PROPER OPERATION PRIOR TO
CONNECTING THE VENTILATOR TO A PATIENT.
IF A MALFUNCTION SHOULD OCCUR, THE UNIT SHOULD BE REMOVED
FROM USE AND REPAIRED PRIOR TO USING IT AGAIN ON PATIENTS.
WHENEVER AN ALARM CONDITION EXISTS IT SHOULD BE RECTIFIED
IMMEDIATELY. NEVER ALLOW VENTILATION WITH AN ALARM
CONDITION FOR AN EXTENDED LENGTH OF TIME.
NOTE: Since it is not possible to damage this CROSSVENT Ventilator by normal use of its keys and
control knobs, the user is encouraged to experiment with the ventilator settings while the unit is not connected to
a patient.

Turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Following the “Bio-Med Devices” splash screen, the unit
comes on in the Main menu in the same mode it was in when last turned off.
Press the ALARM QUIET key to increase the temporary audible alarm silence period from 60 sec. to 120
sec. if desired. It may be used as many times as necessary to cancel the audible alarm until the alarm limits
