Warnings and Cautions
• To prevent disease transmission, use personal protective
equipment when handling contaminated bacteria filters or other
patient accessories. Follow manufacturers' labeling and
institutional guidelines for disposal of contaminated accessories.
• To avoid introducing foreign matter into the ventilator, inspect and
replace the air inlet filters at the recommended intervals
• To avoid cross-contamination between the test equipment and
ventilator, always install a bacteria filter between the main outlet
and test device.
• Explosion hazard. Do not operate the ventilator in the presence of
flammable anesthetic agents.
• To avoid the risk of fire, use only Respironics-approved batteries.
All battery connectors are keyed to ensure proper connection. Do
not attempt to connect a battery incorrectly.
• When running on battery, the high flows that occur during a
patient disconnect can deplete the battery in 2 minutes. Connect
AC power immediately if the Battery Depleted alarm occurs to
avoid total loss of power.
• Use only Respironics-supplied cables with the nurse call station/
serial communications connector.
• To avoid personal injury or the possibility of damage to the
ventilator, DO NOT operate this device if it has failed any
diagnostic tests.
