LIFE2000 VENTILATION SYSTEM INTRODUCTION
CAUTION:
• No user serviceable components are inside the device; do not attempt to repair any components inside
the device.
• Do not place the battery charger on wet surfaces or use in wet environments. Wet environments may
damage the battery charger and may cause electric shock.
• Use only the Breathe Technologies® approved battery charger and cord set with the ventilation system.
If an unauthorized battery charger or cord set is used with the ventilation system the system may be
damaged.
• The compressor's power supply must be certified to IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-11, and be Class II and IP22.
• If using in Extended Range or Stand-Alone Configuration (wearable configurations), make sure the clip
is securely fastened to the belt and the ventilator. If the clip is not securely fastened to the belt or the
ventilator, the ventilator may fall and be damaged.
• If using in Extended Range or Stand-Alone Configuration (wearable configurations), secure the ventilator to
prevent it from falling or becoming damaged.
• Breathe Technologies recommends a 30-day replacement schedule for the Breathe Universal Circuit
™
connector and the Breathe Pillows Interface™.
• Do not use a Breathe Pillows Interface™ or Breathe Universal Circuit
™
connector that is cracked, odorous,
broken, or kinked. If a damaged interface is used, the patient may not receive adequate respiratory
therapy.
• 70% isopropyl alcohol may damage the touch screen. When cleaning external surfaces of the ventilation
system with 70% isopropyl alcohol, avoid contact with the touch screen.
• Keep in a clean environment to protect the equipment from ingress of dust, lint, and pests.
• Do not leave the ventilation system exposed to the sun or other sources of radiant heat, it may overheat.
• Do not allow children or pets to access the ventilation system; it may become damaged.
• The performance of the Life2000® Compressor has only been validated with the Life2000® Ventilator.
• Do not connect another device to the outlet fitting on the compressor when the ventilation system is in
Stationary Configuration.
• Do not connect the purge tube connector to the outlet fitting on the compressor while the ventilation
system is in Stationary Configuration and in use.
• Using the outlet fitting while the ventilation system is delivering therapy in Stationary Configuration might
decrease flow to the patient.
• The Life2000
®
Ventilation System provides high flows up to 40 LPM which may cause drying of the airway
passages. Alert the physician if the patient experiences air passageway drying.
