WARNING:
When using the Resuscitation Module Patient Outlet, use the manufacturer’s patient circuit
provided. Failure to do so could result in infant injury.
WARNING:
When using the Patient Outlet, use the 10 mm tubing offered by the manufacturer, or use infant
resuscitation bags with built-in pressure relief during infant resuscitation. Failure to do so could
result in infant injury.
WARNING:
Using a breathing circuit other than the one supplied may inadvertently restrict the gas flow
such that the indication of the gas flow and the adjustable airway pressure relief may be
inaccurate. Infant injury could occur.
WARNING:
Always keep the oxygen and air gas supplies clean and dry. Use water trap-filters in the supply
lines if necessary. Failure to do so could result in infant injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Securely fasten all hoses to fittings. Hand-tighten to avoid damaging the fittings. Failure to do so
could result in infant injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Require wall gas supplies at 276 kPa (40 psi) to 517 kPa (75 psi). Failure to operate at this
range could result in infant injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Do not place flow restrictions, such as flowmeters or valves, in the supply line. Infant injury or
equipment damage could occur.
WARNING:
If a compressor is used as the air source, take steps to filter, cool, and dehumidify the
compressed room air before introducing it into the gas supply or primary supply module. Failure
to do so could result in infant injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Do not place a humidifier in the supply line. If used, place a humidifier between either the
Patient or Primary Outlet connections and the patient. Infant injury or equipment damage
could occur.
WARNING:
Gas going to the patient should not be super-saturated, as evidenced by excessive
condensation in the tubing. Infant injury or equipment damage could occur.
WARNING:
To ensure proper levels of ventilation, periodically measure the blood gas. Failure to do so could
result in infant injury.
