dried using a lint-free cloth. The breathing circuit has a one-year shelf life. There is
an advanced aging study underway to extend the shelf life to 3 years.
Debris Filter
The debris filter should be replaced with a new filter following each patient use. If the
debris filter becomes damaged or soiled during use, replace it with a new debris filter
and as appropriate reattach extendable oxygen reservoir tube, attenuator, or Intake
Cap.
AIRWAY
Airways and masks must be replaced following use.

TORAGE
The SAVe II+ should be stored as a complete kit in a state of readiness. The SAVe II+
CARRYING CASE (P/N: F20065) is designed to protect the SAVe II+ and its
accessories during transport, shipping overseas and storage. This case is rated IP67
indicating complete protection from dust, sand and protection from immersion in water
up to 1 m. In addition, the case is designed to float to avoid immersion.
For short-term storage, the temperature can range from 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F).
For extended storage periods, the SAVe II+ should be stored indoors, out of direct
sunlight, and in a clean environment. The best storage temperature is between 10 and
30°C (50 to 80°F). The relative humidity in the storage facility should be low.
If the device will be stored for more than 6 months at temperatures above 21°C (70°F)
then the battery should be stored at a state of charge of 50% or less to maintain a
higher level of recoverable charge. The storage state of charge is most important when
the device will be exposed to elevated temperatures for extended durations.

AINTENANCE
The SAVe II+ should have an annual calibration check to verify the device continues
to operate within specification. There should be a dated calibration sticker on the side
of each device. Failure to verify calibration each year increases the risk of harm to the
patient and may void warranty. If the device is used in extreme environments or is
exposed to dust, sand, or water then maintenance should be performed more
frequently. If you have any reason to believe the device is not within specification send
in for service. For more service information please visit www.automedx.com/service.
