2 Safety
Disrupted and failed therapy due to incorrect use of
disposables!
Reusing and reprocessing disposables might induce unpredictable
reactions as a result of aging, embrittlement, wear, thermal
loading, and chemical action. This might place the functionality
and safety of the device at risk, and cause the patient or user
serious or life-threatening injury.
Do not reuse disposables.
Do not subject disposables to hygienic reprocessing.
Risk of infection and contamination from contaminated
disposables!
Reused disposables may cause infections and contamination if
they come into contact with airways. This might cause the
patient and the user serious or life-threatening injury.
Do not reuse disposables.
Do not subject disposables to hygienic reprocessing.
Risk of injury resulting from condensation in the patient valve
at temperatures below 0 °C!
If patients are subjected to sustained ventilation at temperatures
below 0 °C, the exhalation moisture in the patient valve might
condense and impair the function of the parts. This can cause
serious or life-threatening injury to the patient.
Quickly move the patient to a warmer location.
At temperatures below 5 °C, use a breathing system filter to
extend application time.
Delayed or incorrect therapy as a result of illegible labeling
on device!
Unsuitable cleaning agents and disinfectants may remove device
labeling and markings, and lead to material damage, with the
result that the user is unable to use the device and its accessories
properly in an emergency situation. This can cause serious or life-
threatening injury to the patient.
Only use the recommended cleaning agents and disinfectants.
Replace illegible labels.
