Warnings, cautions, and notes
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.
