Introduction
1-6 Operator's Manual

WARNING:
Always use appropriate monitors to ensure sufficient oxygenation and ventilation (such as a pulse
oximeter and/or a capnograph) when the Newport HT70 Ventilator is in use on a patient.

WARNING:
The optional air/oxygen entrainment mixer and low flow oxygen reservoir are designed to operate with
medical-grade oxygen.

WARNING:
Ensure that the oxygen source is not empty before and during the use of the optional air/oxygen
entrainment mixer or low flow oxygen reservoir.

WARNING:
To avoid putting stress on the internal pump and compromising gas delivery to the patient, ensure that
the air/oxygen entrainment mixer is not connected to the gas intake port on the ventilator when
performing a circuit check. Ensure that the oxygen supply is enabled any time the optional air/oxygen
entrainment mixer is secured in place while ventilating.

WARNING:
Calibrated oxygen monitoring at clinically appropriate levels is required for patient safety when
supplemental oxygen is in use.

WARNING:
Always plug the Newport HT70 Ventilator into an external power supply source whenever it is available,
even when the ventilator is not in use, to keep the internal dual battery system fully charged and to
ensure best battery performance. Check battery capacity on the front panel before detaching from
external power.

WARNING:
When installing a replacement Power Pac during battery operation, always ensure that the charge level
LED on the replacement pack is green, indicating 90% or higher charge level.

WARNING:
Always ensure that the green external power LED lights when the ventilator is connected to an external
AC or DC power source.

WARNING:
To maintain grounding integrity when using AC power, only connect to properly grounded receptacles.

WARNING:
Use only the Covidien-supplied AC power supply (p/n PWR3204P) with the Newport HT70 Ventilator
and Power Pac (p/n BAT3271A).
