Operating Instructions
The Air
Life
®
nCPAP System is designed to provide an airway pressure that
is practically constant. The Air
Life
®
generator utilizes vortice technology to
help reduce the patient’s imposed Work of Breathing. The Driver
automatically adjusts the gas flow rate to deliver the set CPAP level and
compensate for minor leaks in the system.
Caution: Federal (USA) law restricts sale of this driver to, or on
the order of, a physician.
Warning: The driver should only be used after qualified
personnel or a technician has authorized it for use.
Warning: Oxygen vigorously accelerates combustion. To
avoid an explosion hazard, do not use any instrument or
piece of equipment that may have been exposed to oil or
grease contamination.
Warning: To avoid the risk of fire or explosion, use this
device in well-ventilated areas away from flammable
anesthetics.
Driver Setup
1. Securely attach the driver to a stand or other mounting system that
includes a heater/humidification system. See Figure 3. A mounting plate
is included with the Driver and should be attached to the driver using the
supplied hardware. Ensure that the stand is rated to safely handle the
weight and dimensions of the driver, as detailed in “Product
Specification” on page 3.
