WM 67851 01/2021
MEDUVENT Standard EN 57
6 Operation
6.3 Starting ventilation
Hazardous therapy as a result of inadequate patient
monitoring!
If the patient and the device are not observed and monitored
during ventilation, delayed responses by medical personnel to
alarms and faults might result in serious or life-threatening injury
to the patient and incorrect therapy.
Continuously observe and monitor the patient and device
during ventilation.
Additionally use external monitoring (e.g. SpO
2
and/or etCO
2
).
Risk of injury resulting from incorrectly set limitation of
maximum airway pressure!
An excessively high airway pressure might cause the patient
serious or life-threatening injury.
Always set the pressure limit pMax to match the current patient
and the current therapy.
Hazardous therapy due to leaks during ventilation!
The measured MVi value indicates the volume the device is
administering to the patient. In the event of leaks during
ventilation, the measured MVi value will not match the tidal
volume actually administered. If this is not observed, the patient
might suffer serious or life-threatening injury.
Check that the mask or tracheal tube is correctly positioned.
Do not use the measured MVi value as an adequate means of
assessing ventilation.
Use external monitoring (etCO
2
, SpO
2
or expiratory volume
measurement).
Risk of contamination or infection resulting from failure to
use hygiene filter!
If the device is used without a hygiene filter in a contaminated
environment, it might draw in contaminated or infected ambient
air. This might cause the patient and the user serious or life-
threatening injury.
Only operate the device with a hygiene filter.
