INTRODUCTION
The HT50 ventilator requires routine maintenance for best
performance and technical maintenance every 10,000 hours. It is
recommended that the primary internal battery be replaced every
12 months. If the primary internal battery is used to LOW
BATTERY alarm level on a routine basis, the battery life will be
shortened. It is recommended that the secondary internal battery
be replaced every 24 months. If the dual internal battery no longer
meets the time requirements of the user, it should be replaced.
NOTE: When 10,000 hours has elapsed, the HT50’s Message
Displa

up.
