WARNING
Inspect the O
2
supply connector carefully and ensure there is no leakage. If gas
leakage is significant, O
2
concentration in the ambient environment will exceed
normal O
2
concentration in atmosphere, resulting in potentially dangerous O
2
enriched environment.
Place the O
2
supply hose carefully, avoiding exposure to the environment in which
possible damage to the O
2
supply hose is easily caused by cut or heating.
To reduce the risk of fire, do not use a low-pressure O
2
supply that delivers a flow
greater than 15 L/min.
CAUTION
When the ventilator is sourced from an oxygen concentrator, never operate the
concentrator with a humidifier. Any humidifier system supplied with the
concentrator must be drained or removed before using the ventilator.
The ventilator’s oxygen control is not active when low-pressure oxygen is used. To
prevent possible patient injury, use low-pressure oxygen only in cases that the
low-pressure supply can provide an adequate level of oxygenation.
Before starting ventilation, ensure the appropriate oxygen source, either
high-pressure oxygen (HPO) or low-pressure oxygen (LPO), was selected during
configuration, referring to 5.13 Set O
2
Supply Type.
To prevent possible patient injury, ensure that an emergency backup O
2
supply
(for example, a gas cylinder) is available in case the low-pressure O
2
supply fails.
The low-pressure O
2
supply hose assembly shall comply with the requirements of
ISO 5359.
