Cautions
CAUTION A CAUTION indicates a condition that may lead to equipment damage or
malfunction.
Installation
• Leave space around the monitor to allow proper ventilation.
•
Ensure that the module is properly orientated (i.e. module release latch facing downward)
before insertion.
Before use
•
Allow two minutes for warm-up and note any error messages or deviations from normal
operation.
•
Clean the fan dust filters once a month or whenever necessary.
• Do not connect a sampling line to the female Patient Spirometry connector while the other
end of the sampling line is connected to the D-fend water trap. The pressure in the gas
sampling system may cause damage to the PVX unit pressure transducer.
Autoclaving and sterilizing
•
Do not autoclave any part of the monitor.
• Do not gas sterilize the modules.
Cleaning and service
• Do not use ammonia, phenol, or acetone based cleaners. These cleaners may damage the
monitor surface.
• Do not immerse the monitor in any liquid. Do not allow liquid to enter the monitor or
modules.
• Electrostatic discharge through the PC boards may damage the components. Before
handling PC boards, wear a static control wrist strap. Handle all PC boards by their non-
conductive edges and use anti-static containers when transporting them.
•
Do not break or bypass the patient isolation barrier when testing PC boards.
Special components
• Special components are used in these monitors that are vital to assure reliability and safety.
Datex-Ohmeda assumes no responsibility for damage, if replacement components not
approved by Datex-Ohmeda are used.
