When the Ventilator is used at altitudes significantly above sea level, or in
non-pressurized aircraft, the calibration of INSP. TIME and EXP. TIME must be
corrected. The actual times will be greater than the panel marking by approximately
2½ % for every 1000’ of altitude.
The pressure levels set by the PIP and PEEP/CPAP controls are somewhat affected
by the flow rate. These controls should be set with the flow rate used. If flow rate is
changed, the PIP and PEEP/CPAP levels should be checked.
When a compressor is used as the power source, steps should be taken to filter and
dehumidify the room air before introducing it into the MVP-10.
MOISTURE OR DEBRIS IN THE MVP-10 WILL CAUSE IT TO FUNCTION
IMPROPERLY.
If ventilator internal contamination results from not using a patient filter (as directed
herein), do not try to clean the ventilator internally; instead return it to the factory for
evaluation.
Negative pressure (subatmospheric) is not available with this ventilator during the
expiratory phase.
The ADJUSTABLE RELIEF VALVE must not be removed.
