ALARM INDICATORS
– DO NOT OBSTRUCT AUDIBLE OR VISUAL ALARM
INDICATORS. Audible indicators may be difficult to hear in noisy environments or if
operator is wearing hearing protection.
Do not allow the ventilator’s alarm speaker port
to become covered or obstructed in any way by stickers, labels, clothing, sand, mud,
debris, or other equipment. Take extra precautions to closely monitor the patient and
ventilator in these environments. Verify audible alarm indicators can be heard in the
environment of use.

RESPONSE TO ALARMS
– When an alarm condition is triggered, or there is evidence
of a patient-ventilator fault or problem, examine the patient first before examining the
ventilator.
AIRWAY OBSTRUCTIONS -
Vomitus and other debris may obstruct the patient end
of the patient breathing circuit. Refer to instructions on clearing debris from the patient
breathing circuit.
SECURE DEVICE
- Failure to properly secure the SAVe II+ could damage the device
and could harm the patient by dislodging the breathing circuit or airway. DO NOT
COVER THE VENTILATOR or place in a position that affects proper operation, for
example by placing the ventilator under a blanket or in a position where tension is
placed on the Patient Circuit that may cause it to become dislodged
FIRE HAZARD
- Avoid open flames if using supplemental oxygen.
WET ENVIRONMENTS
- If using the SAVe II+ in a wet environment take precautions
and protect the device by covering it with a protective barrier.
UNINTENTIONAL CHANGES
- To avoid accidental changes to the settings or
inadvertently shutting off the device, verify the user interface is protected from
unintentional contact.
RISK OF EQUIPMENT INTERFERENCE
