4.2 Airvo 3 setup
Standard aseptic techniques should be followed to minimize contamination when handling the Airvo 3 and accessories.
1. Check Airvo 3 height
Check that the Airvo 3 is attached securely to the mobile pole stand and is
below the patient’s head height.
Position the Airvo 3 so that the power cord connection to the wall power supply
is easily accessible and can be disconnected if necessary.
Caution
Do not place the Airvo 3 where controls can be changed by the patient.
2. Connect the outlet elbow (if applicable)
This step applies if your hospital uses a washer-disinfector to clean and disinfect
the outlet elbow. This step does not apply if your hospital uses the disinfection
kit (900PT600).
Insert the clean, disinfected outlet elbow into the slot on the top of the Airvo 3.
3. Assemble the water chamber
Open the tube and chamber kit and remove the MR290
auto-fi ll water chamber and chamber adapter.
Remove the blue port caps from the chamber by pulling the
tear tab upwards then remove the bracket holding the water
supply tube.
Fit the supplied adapter over the two vertical ports on the
chamber and push on fully then clip the water supply tube into
position.
4. Insert the water chamber
Fit the water chamber to the Airvo 3, sliding the chamber past the fi nger guard
onto the heater-plate. Take care to align the port adapter with the blue ports on
the Airvo 3.
Ensure the water chamber is fully inserted by pushing fi rmly on the front of the
chamber until it slides past the fi nger guard.
To remove the water chamber, grip the port adapter and pull the chamber away
from the Airvo 3.
Warnings
To avoid burns:
Do not start therapy without the water chamber in place.
Do not touch the heater-plate, water chamber or chamber base during
use.
Exercise caution when removing and emptying the chamber.
The water in the chamber is hot during use.
To avoid electrical shock:
When handling the Airvo 3 with the water chamber in place, avoid
tilting the device to prevent any chance of water entering the unit
enclosure
Do not use the MR290 auto-fi ll water chamber if it has been dropped,
allowed to run dry or damaged in any way. This could lead to the
chamber overfi lling.
Warning
Make sure the Airvo 3 is off when connecting the outlet elbow.
