electrocution. Do not immerse the device, power supply or power cord in water.
Make sure the power cord and plug are not damaged and the equipment is in good
condition.
Keep the power cord and device away from hot surfaces.
do not use in the vicinity of flammable anesthetics.
Ensure that the device and its power charger are placed in a way that allows an easy
disconnection from the mains.
The EO 150 ventilator can be used with three different power sources:
Mains power
Internal battery
External DC power supply (e.g., car 12V power outlet).
For information on power supplies and sources see the Technical Specifications.
Connecting to mains power
Ensure that the power cord does not pose a tripping or choking hazard.
Ensure that the home AC mains supply and connections are safe and comply with the
applicable regulations. For ventilator dependent patients, consider using a back-up power
system. For safe and adapted solutions, refer to Battery Pack (EOBAT9) user manual and
to the section “Connecting two power sources with Y cable” below.
To connect to mains power:
1. Connect the DC plug of the supplied external power supply unit to the rear of the EO 150
module or docking station. Ensure the connection is correctly aligned. Secure the connection
by screwing the connector firmly in place.
2. Plug the other end of the power cord into the power outlet.
r tug the power cord or the outer housing of the connector.
Running the ventilator on internal battery
150 as a backup ventilator, check and charge the internal battery level
regularly (recommended every month).
As the battery ages, the available capacity decreases. When the remaining battery capacity
is low, do not rely on the internal battery as the primary power supply and contact your
service provider.
For ventilator dependent patients in mobility we strong
ly recommend not to use internal
battery as primary power source. It is mandatory to use an additional power source such as
EOVE Battery Pack (EO-BAT9) when the patient is moving away from an external power
source (AC or DC).
should be replaced every two years, or when a service notification is
displayed.
Replacement of lithium batteries or fuel cells by anyone other than trained personnel will
result in dangerous risk (e.g., excessive temperatures, fire or explosion)
