29. If the SLE1000 is operating on battery power and allowed to completely discharge the
battery, it should be recharged a soon as possible. This is to avoid damaging the
batteries by allowing them to remain in a deep discharged state for any period of time.
Allowing the batteries to remain in the deep discharged state will shorten the life of the
batteries and the amount of time the SLE1000 can remain on battery power.
30. If the SLE1000 is not to be used for a period in excess of 10 days then disconnect the
batteries from the power supply. (See “Extended storage and transportation” on
page 78).
31. If the SLE1000 is adversely affected by equipment emitting electromagnetic interference
then that equipment should be switched off or removed from the vicinity of the SLE1000.
Conversely, if the SLE1000 is the source of interference to other neighbouring
equipment, it should be switched off or taken to another location.
32. The functioning of this machine may be adversely affected by the operation of
equipment such as high frequency surgical (diathermy) equipment, defibrillators, mobile
phones or short-wave therapy equipment in the vicinity.
33. Do not clean the SLE1000 whilst the unit is in operation.
34. Disposal of the Oxygen cell should be in accordance with local regulations for
hazardous substances. Do not incinerate. SLE offers a cell disposal service.
35. The SLE1000 contains one sealed lead acid battery. At the end of its useful life this
battery should be disposed of in accordance with local authority guidelines. Note: the
battery should only be replaced by service personnel.
36. Apart from the battery and O
2
cell, the SLE1000 and accessories do not contain any
hazardous components therefore no special precautions are required for their disposal.
The SLE1000 should be disposed of in accordance to the local WEEE (Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment) guidelines.
37. Care should be taken when attaching other equipment as this may affect mechanical
stability.
38. In the event of main LCD screen failure remove the patient as soon as possible (under
clinical supervision) from the SLE1000 to an alternative form of ventilation. The
SLE1000 will continue to deliver CPAP on the set parameters whilst this is arranged.
39. Do not use solvent based cleaning solutions to clean the SLE1000.
5.1.2 Humidifier / Patient Circuit
40. The patient circuit tubing should conform to EN12342 (ISO5367:2000) (non kink
requirements).
41. On no account should antistatic or electrically conductive tubing be used.
42. The humidifier used in the patient circuit must be operated and maintained in
accordance with its manufacturer’s instructions.
5.1.3 Compressor
43. When using a compressor the user must use the correct start-up routine otherwise the
watertrap will bleed air. (See section 14.4.3 on page 75).
