tor of the ventilator must still maintain full responsibility for
proper ventilation and patient safety in all situations.
• Do not silence the audible alarm when leaving the patient
unattended.
• Do not use the exhaust port of the expiratory valve for
spirometry. Due to the HAMILTON-G5’s base flow, the
exhaust gas output is larger than the patient’s actual
exhaled volume.
• Heliox gas is not compatible with INTELLiVENT
®
-ASV use.
• The Masimo Rainbow SpHb sensor is valid for a total of 66
hours of operation. Once this time expires, you must
connect a new SpHb sensor. For details, see Appendix F,
Pulse oximetry.
Fire and other hazards
• To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do not place the
HAMILTON-G5 in a combustible or explosive environment
(for example, around flammable anesthetics or other
ignition sources). Do not use it with any equipment
contaminated with oil or grease.
• To minimize the risk of fire, do not use high-pressure gas
hoses that are worn or contaminated with combustible
materials like grease or oil.
• To reduce the risk of fire, use only breathing circuits
intended for use in oxygen-enriched environments. Do not
use antistatic or electrically conductive tubing.
• In case of fire, immediately secure the patient’s ventilatory
needs, switch off the HAMILTON-G5, and disconnect it
from its gas and electrical sources.
• Do not put a vessel filled with a liquid on the ventilator.
If a liquid enters the product, a fire and/or electric shock
may occur.
