WARNINGS
• To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the electrical supply before servicing this device.
• Do not service this device in the presence of flammable mixtures, gases, anesthetics,
or liquids.
• Electronic components used in this device are subject to damage from static electricity.
Repairs made to this device must be performed only in an antistatic, Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD) protected environment.
• To assure the safety of the service technician and the specified performance of the
device, Respironics recommends that only technicians having prior training or
experience servicing NIV devices perform any repairs or adjustments to the device.
• Do not immerse this device in water, solvents, or cleaning solutions.
• This device is not intended for life support.
• Do not use extension cords with this device.
• Do not service the device near a source of toxic or harmful vapors.
• Do not service this device if the room temperature is warmer than 35° C (95° F). If the
device is used at room temperatures warmer than 35° C (95° F), the temperature of
the airflow may exceed 41° C (106° F). This could cause irritation or injury to the
patient’s airway.
• Repairs and adjustments must be performed by authorized service personnel only.
Unauthorized service could cause injury, invalidate the warranty, or result in costly
damage.
• Inspect electrical cords and cables for damage or signs of wear. Replace if damaged.
• Using or servicing this device at an incorrect altitude setting could result in airflow
pressures higher or lower than the prescribed setting. Always verify the altitude setting
when traveling or relocating, and adjust the system accordingly.
• Pins of connectors identified with the ESD warning symbol should not be touched.
Connections should not be made to these connectors unless ESD precautionary
procedures are used. Precautionary procedures include methods to prevent build-up
of electrostatic discharge (e.g., air conditioning, humidification, conductive floor
coverings, non-synthetic clothing), discharging one’s body to the frame of the
equipment or system or to earth or a large metal object, and bonding oneself by means
of a wrist strap to the equipment or system or to earth.
