performance and longevity of the simulator
components.
Cautions
• Do not provide artificial respiration to the
Patient Simulator using oxygen enriched air or
flammable gases.

User Guide) as this may damage the Patient
Simulator and its components.
• Do not introduce humidified air into the
system during ventilation.
