Precautions During Care
WARNING !
Water remaining in the ventilator valve or in the
pressure sensing lines for flow measurement
may cause ventilator malfunction.
WARNING !
Always follow accepted hospital procedures for
handling equipment contaminated with body
fluids.
WARNING !
Do not block air intake. Ventilator malfunction
will result.
WARNING !
Continuous or intermittent audible alarms re-
quire immediate operator attention to avert or to
prevent development of situations with the pos-
sibility of patient injury.
WARNING !
Automatic patient ventilation, volume measure-
ment, and alarms are not functional in case of a
loss of electric power!
Spontaneous breathing through the integrated
demand valve, however, is still possible in that
situation,
Immediately start ventilating patient with inde-
pendent manual ventilation device (resuscita-
tion bag) using PEEP and/or increased inspira-
tory oxygen concentration where necessary and
appropriate.
Precautions During Operation
WARNING !
Use CPAP mode only for patients who have suffi-
cient spontaneous breathing.

Observe pressure gauge in order to identify im-
proper ventilation. Operator must always be
ready to intervene if alarm indicates a situation
dangerous to the patient.

disinfected and has been successfully tested to
be ready for operation.

For safety reasons, a battery pack must always be
installed, even when using external power sup-
plies!

Do not pressurize the connector for pressure
sensing lines. It might destroy the internal sensor.
