2 Safety
Disrupted or failed therapy due to defective or non-
operational device or accessories!
Using defective devices or defective accessories may result in
device malfunctions. This might cause the patient and the user
serious or life-threatening injury.
Perform a complete function check prior to every use.
Only operate the device and accessories if they are externally
undamaged.
Only use devices and accessories which have passed the
function check.
Have defective devices repaired.
Have defective accessories repaired, or replace them.
Follow the instructions for use of the accessories.
Observe maintenance intervals.
Disrupted or failed therapy due to inadequate protection
from dust and damp!
If the interfaces for the SD card or the breathing circuit are not
protected when transporting the device in a dusty or damp
environment, disruption or failure of therapy might occur as a
result of device failure. This can cause serious or life-threatening
injury to the patient, and damage the device.
Close the SD card cover to assure IP protection.
Connect the breathing circuit or close the protective caps to
assure IP protection.
Inadequate patient monitoring and device operability
resulting from device being operated in an unsuitable
position!
Operating the device in an unsuitable position might mean that
alarm transmitters cannot be heard or the display is hard to read.
This can cause serious or life-threatening injury to the patient.
Use the device only in the following positions:
• Display facing upward (when the device is standing on a
table for example).
• Display facing forward (when the device is mounted on a
wall by a portable unit for example).
