Introduction
General Cautions
Do not place liquids on or near the ventilator.
Damage can occur if the HT70 is exposed to extreme temperatures.
Do not store the HT70 in areas where it may be exposed to
temperatures below -40° C (-40° F) or above 65° C (149° F).
General Warnings
The design of the HT70 ventilator, the Operating and Service
manuals, and the labeling on the ventilator take into consideration
that the purchase and use of the equipment is restricted to trained
professionals, and that certain inherent characteristics of the
ventilator are known to the operator. Instructions, warnings and
caution statements are therefore limited to the specifics of the HT70.
This manual excludes references to various hazards which are
obvious to medical professionals and operators of this equipment
including consequences of product misuse, and potential adverse
effects in patients with abnormal conditions.
Transport of patients with the HT70 requires that medical staff
have a good working knowledge of the ventilator’s use and
problem resolution. Proper emergency backup equipment must be
immediately available during transport.
Product modification or misuse can be dangerous. Newport Medical
Instruments, Inc. disclaims all liability for the consequences of
product alterations or modifications, as well as for the consequences
which might result from the combination of this ventilator with other
products, whether supplied by Newport or by other manufacturers,
unless such a combination has been specifically endorsed by
Newport Medical.
There is a risk of explosion if used in the presence of flammable
anesthetics.
A patient connected to a ventilator requires the constant attention of
trained caregivers to the patient’s condition.
Always have an alternate power source and means of ventilation
available when the ventilator is in use in case of a mechanical or
system problem.
