Do not submerge filters in liquids of any kind.
Between uses, reusable filters must be steam autoclaved and then
checked for resistance, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Power Supply Warnings
To maintain grounding integrity, connect the ventilator only to a
hospital-grade receptacle.
Always disconnect the ventilator from power before servicing.
Do not use electrically conductive breathing circuit tubing.
Make sure the internal battery is fully charged to assure battery
operation in case of AC power failure.
To ensure that the internal battery remains functional, fully recharge
the battery at least every 2 months when the ventilator is not in use.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the EMC
limits for the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC (EN 55011 Class 1
and EN 60601-1-2). These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a typical medical
installation. The equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
these instructions, may cause harmful interference to other devices in
the vicinity. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference with other devices, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorientorrelocatethereceivingdevice.
• Increasetheseparationbetweentheequipment.
• Connecttheequipmentintoanoutletonacircuitdifferentfrom
that to which the other device(s) is connected.
• Consultthemanufactureroreldservicetechnicianforhelp.
Accessory equipment connected to the analog and digital interfaces
must be certified according to the respective IEC standards (e.g.
IEC 60950 for data processing equipment and IEC 60601 for
medical equipment). Furthermore, all configurations shall comply
with the system standard IEC 60601-1-1. Any person who connects
additional equipment to the signal input or output parts “configures”
a medical system, and is therefore responsible for ensuring that the
system complies with the requirements of the system standard IEC
60601-1-1. If in doubt, consult the Technical Service department or
your local representative.
