2.1 Safety information
Read these instructions for use carefully. They form part of the
device described and must be available at all times.
Only use the device for the intended use (see “1.1 Intended use”,
page 5).
For your own safety as well as that of your patients, and in
accordance with the requirements of Directive 93/42/EEC, please
observe the following safety instructions.
2.1.1 How to use the device
Warning Risk of injury from pressure blows!
Pressure blows can cause the pressure reducer to spontaneously
combust, resulting in injuries to the patient, user, or bystanders.
Open the valve of the oxygen cylinder slowly.
If possible, set the inhalation flow to 0 after operation.
Risk of injury from uncontrolled oxygen output!
Not all outlets have a check valve which closes the outlets
automatically when a connection hose (pressure outlet) or
inhalation accessories (inhalation outlet) are removed. As a result,
oxygen can escape unchecked and raise the oxygen content of the
immediate surroundings. In case of insufficient ventilation, this
may cause fires, resulting in injuries to the patient, user, and
bystanders.
Close the oxygen cylinder when changing the device.
Vent the system.
Risk of injury from insufficient oxygen supply!
In cases with an oxygen requirement of more than 90 l/min, there
is a risk of an insufficient oxygen supply, which puts the patient at
risk if the pressure outlet and inhalation outlet are running at the
same time.
Do not use the pressure outlet and inhalation outlet at the
same time.
