General Warnings
All ventilator controls and alarm limits must be appropriate for the
patient’s condition, according to the therapy prescribed by a physician.
A patient connected to a ventilator requires the constant attention
of medical staff to the patient’s condition and to any significant
difference between monitored and set values that may indicate a fault
in ventilator operation.
Have an alternate method of ventilation available for use when
using the e360 Ventilator. If the ventilator’s operation or monitoring
functions are in doubt, discontinue ventilator use and employ an
alternate method of ventilation.
Always use appropriate monitors to ensure sufficient oxygenation
and ventilation (such as a pulse oximeter and capnograph) when the
e360 Ventilator is in use on a patient.
Have an alternate method of oxygen monitoring with high and low
alarms available for use when using the e360, in the event the built-in
oxygen monitor is unavailable due to a disabled, defective or missing
oxygen sensor.
Always ensure that the caregiver can hear the audible alert when
the alarm sounds. Do not use the ventilator in an environment where
audible alarms cannot be heard by the caregivers.
Before and during the use of the e360 Ventilator, make sure that all
connections in the patient circuit are secure. Ensure the integrity of
each part of the patient circuit, humidifier connections and humidifier
chamber.
Always use clean breathing circuits.
Dispose of waste products, residue, etc., in accordance with the
appropriate regulatory requirements and facility policy.
Follow your institutions infection control policy.
