2 Safety
Risk of injury and treatment delay due to imperceptible alarm
signals!
Alarm signals below the noise level in the
environment prevent alarm situations being detected. This might
result in treatment delays and thus to injury to the patient.
Always set the device volume to be louder than ambient noise
level.
Electric shock resulting from incompatibility with other
devices!
Connecting a different device or non-approved accessories might
cause voltage on a part of the device which can be contacted, and
so lead to electric shock. This can cause serious or life-threatening
injuries to the user.
Use only approved accessories.
Disrupted or failed therapy due to operation of the device and
accessories outside the specified ambient conditions!
Using the device and accessories outside the specified ambient
conditions might result in tolerances being exceeded, and in
device failure. This can cause serious or life-threatening injury to
the patient.
Only operate the device and accessories within the specified
ambient conditions (see “16 Technical data”, page 157).
Never use the device and accessories in hyperbaric chambers.
Risk of explosion if the device is used in hyperbaric chambers!
If the device is used in a hyperbaric chamber, this may lead to
explosions.
Never use the device in hyperbaric chambers.
Disrupted or failed therapy due to use of bubble humidifiers!
Using bubble humidifiers might cause moisture at the oxygen inlet
and result in malfunctions and device failure. This can cause
serious or life-threatening injury to the patient.
Do not use bubble humidifiers.
Risk of injury from operating the device in a toxic
environment!
Operating the device in a toxic environment may cause toxic gases
to reach the patient’s lung, causing him or her serious or life-
threatening injury.
Do not use the device in a toxic environment.
