• Ensure that the cooling air intake vents are not blocked. If the vents
are blocked, especially in hot use environments, the surface tempera-
ture of the patient circuit may rise above 41°C (106°F). In a 40°C
(104°F) environment and with the cooling air intake vents blocked,
surface temperatures as high as 50°C (122°F) can occur.
Before an unsafe temperature is reached, the “High Patient Air
Temp” alarm will occur. If this alarm occurs, assure that the ventila-
tor cooling air intake path is free of obstruction and that the patient
circuit surface is not heating the patient’s skin.
• The treatment settings should be reassessed periodically, for assuring
therapeutic effectiveness.
