Requirements • The oxygen cylinder has been filled.
• The outlet flow of the inhalation source for the oxygen supply
is ≤ 15 l/min.
Hazardous therapy as a result of inadequate oxygen
concentration!
If oxygen is supplied from non-approved, inadequately cleaned or
damp oxygen sources, the pneumatic connections in the device
may be blocked by impurities or particles. This might injure the
patient.
Use only oxygen sources which conform to the specifications
(see “16 Technical data”, page 157).
Use only oxygen sources which are free of particles, clean and
dry.
Corrupted oxygen therapy resulting from use of unsuitable
oxygen!
Unsuitable oxygen might corrupt the therapy. This can cause
serious or life-threatening injury to the patient.
Use only concentrator oxygen (90 % to 96 % oxygen) or
medical oxygen.
Failure of oxygen therapy resulting from inadequate supply of
oxygen!
An inadequate oxygen supply will prevent ventilation of the
patient. This might injure the patient.
Check the pressure in the oxygen cylinder prior to ventilation.
