Risk of faulty Treatment
The performance of the Nippy 4 may deteriorate at altitudes or ambient temperatures
outside the operation conditions specified in the chapter Technical Specifications.
• Do not use the ventilator while positioned in a warm place, such as direct sunlight
or close to a radiator as this might lead to temperature outside the specifications.
• Do not use the ventilator in an hyperbaric chamber, as this would cause an ambient
pressure outside the specifications.
• Do not use the ventilator immediately after storage or transport outside the recom-
mended operating conditions.
Risk of Faulty Treatment
Do not use or store the Nippy 4 in a magnetic resonance (MR) environment.
Use of the Nippy 4 in an MR environment may result in malfunction of the Nippy 4 and
pose unacceptable risk to the patient, medical staff or other persons.
Unsteady indicated values for delivered volumes or pressures and the occurrence of
alarm conditions without apparent cause may be an indication of loss of performance
due to electromagnetic disturbances. Follow the instructions above and the guidance pro-
vided in 8.3 Emission and Immunity Declaration, page 124 to mitigate the effects of electro-
magnetic disturbances.
CAUTION!
The ventilator, any accessories and all replaced parts, must be disposed of in accordance
with the local environmental regulations regarding the disposal of used equipment and
waste.
2.4 Usage of Patient Circuit
WARNING!
Risk of Insufficient Ventilation
Insufficient ventilation may cause transient hypoxia.
The Nippy 4 ventilator is intended to be used with patient circuits with intentional leak-
age and compliant to ISO 17510. Recommended leak rate: 20 to 50 liters per minute at
10 cmH

O.
Failure to use a mask or accessory that minimizes rebreathing of carbon dioxide or per-
mits spontaneous breathing can cause asphyxiation.
