13. An alternative form of ventilation should be available whenever the SLE1000 is in use,
in the event of failure.
14. Do not touch the patient and SLE1000 metalwork at the same time to avoid earthing the
patient.
15. The SLE1000 is not compatible with MRI equipment or other equipment radiating high
EM fields.
16. The SLE1000 contains temperature dependant devices which perform normally in
controlled environments in hospitals. However if the SLE1000 has been stored at a
temperature different to that in which it will be used, allow the unit to acclimatize before
powering up, if difference greater than 10°C allow 2 hours. (See “Environmental storage
conditions” on page 109).
17. Any computer connected to the SLE1000 must be specified for medical use.
18. The SLE1000 does not use Latex, nor was it used in its construction.
19. The SLE1000 is not protected against the ingress of water. (IP20)
20. Do not cover the SLE1000 or allow the SLE1000 to become covered by any fabric or
curtain. Do not allow the exhaust ports or inlet vents to become obstructed or blocked by
positioning the SLE1000 near curtains or fabric.
21. The SLE1000 does not support automatic record keeping.
22. The SLE1000 has no emergency air intake.
23. The SLE1000 functional test routine must be carried out each time the SLE1000 is used
on a patient. If any of these tests do not function as described then there is a problem
and the SLE1000 must not be used until it is rectified.
24. Failure to comply with the recommended service programs could lead to injury of the
patient, operator or damage to the SLE1000. It is the owners responsibility to ensure
that the equipment is regularly maintained.
25. The SLE1000 must be connected to a suitably rated and grounded electrical power
source.
26. The SLE1000 must not be started on battery power alone.
27. The SLE1000 must have its batteries charged at least every 10 days. The SLE1000
must be connected to a mains power source for 8 hours to ensure a full charge. Failure
to charge the batteries will shorten the service life of the batteries which will result in
reduced battery life in a mains power fail situation.
28. The SLE1000 can operate on battery power in the event of mains power failure for a
maximum of 4 hours (If battery fully charged at start of mains power failure). Whilst on
battery power an alternative form of ventilation should be made ready if the mains
power supply cannot be restored.
