Warnings, cautions, and notes
First-time installation WARNING: Never attempt to disconnect or connect the battery during operation.
CAUTION: To prevent possible damage to the ventilator, always secure it to its
stand or securely place it on a flat, stable surface that is free of dirt
and debris. Do not use the ventilator adjacent to, or stack it with,
other equipment.
Communications
interface
WARNING: Connect to the ventilator only items that are specified as part of or
compatible with the ventilator system. Additional equipment connected to
medical electrical equipment must comply with the respective IEC or ISO
standards. Furthermore, all configurations shall comply with the
requirements for medical electrical systems (see IEC 60601-1-1 or
clause 16 of edition 3 of IEC 60601-1, respectively). Anybody connecting
additional equipment to medical electrical equipment configures a
medical system and is therefore responsible for ensuring that the system
complies with the requirements for medical electrical systems. Also be
aware that local laws may take priority over the above mentioned
requirements. If in doubt, consult Philips.
WARNING: The USB port is not currently available for use. DO NOT connect or attempt
to power any equipment from the USB port.
WARNING: It is the responsibility of the end user to validate the compatibility and use
of information transmitted from the ventilator to the device to be
connected to the ventilator.
WARNING: The data provided through the communications interface is for reference
only. Decisions for patient care should be based on the clinician’s
observations of the patient.
WARNING: To prevent possible patient injury due to nonannunciating alarms, verify
the operation of any remote alarm device before use.
WARNING: To ensure the functionality of the remote alarm, connect only Respironics-
approved cables to the remote alarm port.
CAUTION: The remote alarm port is intended to connect only to an SELV (safety
extra-low voltage and ungrounded system with basic insulation to
ground), in accordance with IEC 60601-1. To prevent damage to the
remote alarm, make sure the signal input does not exceed the
maximum rating of 24 VAC or 36 VDC at 500 mA with a minimum
current of 1 mA.
Diagnostic mode WARNING: To prevent possible patient injury, do not enter the diagnostic mode while
a patient is connected to the ventilator. Verify that the patient is
disconnected before proceeding.
