CAUTION
Care of Bacterial Filters – If bacterial filters are used in conjunction with the LTV
®
Series ventilator,
comply with all procedures as specified by the filter manufacturer.
Wet or Damp Filters – Do not install a wet or damp filter into the LTV
®
Series ventilators. This could
damage the ventilator.
Oxygen Supply Contamination - The accuracy of the oxygen delivery capabilities of LTV
®
ventilators can be compromised by foreign debris contamination in the oxygen supply system. To
reduce the risk of airborne contaminants entering the ventilator, ensure that any oxygen supply
connected to the ventilator is clean, properly filtered
2
and that the ventilator’s O2 Inlet Port Cap is
securely installed on the O2 Inlet Port whenever the ventilator is not connected to an external oxygen
supply.
Proximal Sense Lines - Do not remove the proximal sense lines from the patient wye.
Automobile Cigarette Lighter and Power Outlets – Automobile cigarette lighter and power outlets
are normally wired for a positive center contact and ground sleeve contact. Connecting the ventilator
to an improperly wired outlet will cause the adapter fuse to blow and may damage the adapter or the
ventilator.
Automobile Cigarette Lighter Outlet Power Rating - Running a ventilator from an improperly rated
automobile cigarette lighter outlet (less than 20 amperes) may cause a fuse in the automobile to blow,
causing the ventilator and possibly other accessories in the automobile to stop operating.
Automobile Cigarette Lighter Adapter - Do not operate the ventilator from the Automobile Cigarette
Lighter Adapter while starting the vehicle or when jump starting the automobile battery. Doing so may
cause damage to the ventilator.
Automobile Cigarette Lighter Adapter Tip - Use care when disconnecting the Automobile Cigarette
Lighter Adapter after use, its tip may be hot.
Automobile Cigarette Lighter Outlet – Depending on the condition of the automobile battery,
whether the automobile is turned off, being started or running, automobile cigarette lighter outlets can
provide varying levels of voltage (in some, the outlet only operates when the vehicle is running).
Verify which power source the ventilator is using by checking the EXTERNAL POWER LED on the
ventilator.
Remote Alarm - Always verify that the remote alarm properly reports the LTV
®
Series ventilator
alarms before use.
Remote Alarm - Always follow the remote alarm manufacturer’s usage and maintenance
requirements to guarantee proper function of the device.
External Battery Pack - The External Battery Pack should only be connected to the LTV
®
Series
ventilator using the Pulmonetic Systems External Battery Cable (PN 10802). This cable is pre-wired
and properly terminated to ensure safe connection of the External Battery Pack to the ventilator.
Electrical Grounding – In the event of a loss of electrical protective ground, touching the ventilator
could result in electrical shock. To ensure grounding and avoid this danger, use only the unmodified
power cord originally supplied with the LTV
®
Series ventilator, maintained in good condition and
connected to a properly wired and grounded electrical power outlet.
Do not cover the ventilator – To avoid damage to the ventilator,do not cover while operating or
position relative to other objects such that the operation or performance of the ventilator may be
adversely affected. Ensure that sufficient space exists around the ventilator while in use to allow free
circulation of gases.
