Risk of fire resulting from simultaneous use of ventilator and
defibrillator in oxygen-enriched environments!
If a ventilator and defibrillator are used simultaneously in oxygen-
enriched atmospheres and in the presence of combustible
materials (e.g. textiles), sparking associated with defibrillation
might cause explosions and fires. This can cause serious or life-
threatening injury to the patient, user and bystanders.
Use self-adhesive electrodes for defibrillation whenever
possible.
Ensure that the oxygen/air mixture coming from the exhalation
valve can flow away from the patient’s torso.
Use the device only in ventilated rooms or environments.
Inadequate patient monitoring due to concealed alarm
transmitters!
A concealed alarm light, loudspeaker or display might prevent the
user from noticing alarms and reacting to dangerous situations.
This can cause serious or life-threatening injury to the patient.
Always keep the alarm transmitters (alarm light, loudspeaker
and display) clear.
Position the device display facing upward (e.g. on a table) or
forward (e.g. on a wall).
Increased breathing effort for the patient due to covered
patient valve!
Covering the patient valve might impair its function and put
therapy at risk. This might injure the patient.
Do not cover/seal the expiration opening of the patient valve.
