SECTION 1
SERHT50NA A0808 1-5
When the HT50 is used in homecare environments
, proper
education and training of the appointed caregiver must be provided
prior to the patient leaving the health care facility.
If a fault is detected in the ventilator and its life support functions
are in doubt, immediately discontinue use; use an alternative
method of ventilation until the fault has been corrected. Contact
N
EWPORT Technical Service Department immediately.
Failure to identify and correct alarm violations may result in patient
injury.
Continuous oxygen monitoring is required for patient safety. The
HT50 does not have a built-in alarm system to notify user of a failure
or disconnection of the oxygen source.
Ensure that the oxygen source is not empty before and during the
use of the optional Air/Oxygen Entrainment Mixer or Oxygen
Blending Bag Kit.
The primary internal battery should be replaced every 12 months or
sooner if the use time no longer meets the needs of the user. This
will depend on a number of factors including settings and usage
patterns. The secondary internal battery should be replaced every
24 months.
Please recognize that any life support equipment should have
appropriate alternate power sources and means of ventilation
readily available in case of a mechanical or system problem. If you
need alternative power sources, contact Newport Medical
Instruments Inc.
When the HT50 is used for transport applications, ensure that the
internal battery system is fully charged prior to use.
When the Battery Empty audible alarm sounds continuously, only a
limited time of internal battery power remains and an alternate
power source should be found immediately.
Frequent deep discharge of the internal battery system will
decrease the amount of time the HT50 will operate on battery
power from a full charge state.
If you use the internal battery system as your primary power
source, replace the primary battery as needed to ensure that the
battery operation time is sufficient.
