1.2 Cautions
1. When working on the pneumatic unit, protect the front facia panel by resting it on a soft
pad.
2. Do not use a sharp instrument, such as a pen to activate the controls as the excessive
pressure applied by the point will damage the touch screen membrane.
3. The Ventilator must be connected to a suitably rated and grounded electrical power
source.
4. If the SLE5000 is adversely affected by equipment emitting electromagnetic interference
then that equipment should be switched off or removed from the vicinity of the SLE5000.
Conversely, if the SLE5000 is the source of interference to other neighbouring
equipment, it should be switched off or taken to another location.
5. 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.
8. The equipment is not suitable for use with, or in the presence of flammable anaesthetic
mixtures.
6. The SLE5000 flow monitoring system is calibrated to work in an air / oxygen mixture, the
use of other gas mixtures may affect the flow monitoring accuracy of the ventilator.
7. Disposal of the Oxygen Sensor should be in accordance with local regulations for
hazardous substances. Do not incinerate. SLE offer a cell disposal service.
8. The ventilator must have its batteries charged every 14 days. The ventilator must be
connected to a mains power source for 24 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.
9. If the ventilator 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 ventilator can remain on battery power.
10. If the ventilator is not going to be used for a period in excess of 40 days then disconnect
the batteries from the power supply. (See “Extended storage” on page 71.)
