eove EO-150 - General Warnings and Cautions

8

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.

When using the EO
-
150 as a backup ventilator, check and charge the internal battery
level regularly (recommended every month).

Some circuit and accessories conf
igurations (mainly in leak
pediatric configuration) with
high resistive pressure in the circuit could lead to ineffective "Disconnection alarm".
For ventilator dependent patient, "Disconnection alarm" must be tested after any
calibration, setting changes or circuit configuration change.
In case the disconnection alarm detection is not efficient, it is mandatory to set a VTI Min
alarm (leak configurations) or a VTI Max alarm (valve configurations) as a backup for
disconnection events covering.

local authorities if necessary.

Read and
understand the entire manual before using the EO
-
150 ventilator

The EO
-
150 ventilator is a restricted medical device intended for use by qualified trained

150 ventilator in accordance with the instructions given in
this guide. Non-specialist operators or institutions encountering problems with set-up,
operation or maintenance should immediately contact their EOVE representative.

Verify the effectiveness of ventilation and alarms before connecting a patient to the
ventilator.

Handle the EO
-
150 ventilator and AC power supply with care during and after use
especially if ambient temperatures are high as some surfaces may become hot. Do not
leave the EO-150 ventilator in direct contact with the patient for extended periods of
time.

The EO
-
150 should be kept out of reach of children and domestic animals to ensure their
safety and the safety of the patient and to avoid damage to the ventilator and the
accessories.

The battery and all machine parts of the ventilator and accessori

should be disposed of appropriately, following correct regulations for waste
management in order to minimize the risk for the environment. They should not be
disposed of in household waste.

Ensure that the device and its power char
ger are placed in a way that allows an easy
disconnection from the mains.

Do not use the ventilator to an altitude higher than 3000 m, or out of the temperature
range 5°C-40°C. Using the ventilator out of these conditions can alter ventilation
performance and consequently cause patient death.

Do not supply the ventilator with a wheelchair battery unless this is mentioned in the
wheelchair user’s instructions or in the ventilator user’s instructions.
