1. Warnings and Cautions
1.1 Warnings
1. The electronic and pneumatic units of the SLE5000 infant ventilator are sealed at the
factory with two “Warranty Void If Label Broken” seals. If the ventilator is subject to a
warranty agreement do not attempt to carry out any procedure that would involve
breaking these seals. If you make a warranty claim and these seals are broken SLE
may deem the warranty claim null and void. If the ventilator develops a fault within the
warranty period please refer to your warranty documentation.
2. Oxygen - Fire Hazard. Oxygen vigorously supports combustion and its use requires
special precaution to avoid fire hazards. Keep all sources of ignition away when oxygen
is in use. Do not use oil or grease on oxygen fittings or where oxygen is used.
3. Check the condition of the gas supply hoses to the ventilator. Do not use any hose that
shows signs of cracking, abrasion, kinking, splits, excessive wear or ageing. Make sure
that the Air or O
2
hose has not come into contact with oil or grease.
4. The SLE5000 ventilator contains temperature dependant devices which perform
normally in controlled environments in hospitals. However if the ventilator has been
stored at a temperature different to that in which it will be used, allow the unit to
acclimatize before powering up.
5. Failure to comply with the recommended service programs could lead to injury of the
patient, operator or damage to the ventilator. It is the owners responsibility to ensure
that the equipment is regularly maintained.
6. The SLE5000 contains static sensitive electrical devices. Anti static precautions must be
observed at all time when working on the ventilator.
7. When working on the ventilator disconnect the mains supply. Use an earthing strap to
earth the ventilator.
