Warnings - Precautions - Notes | iTernIS ADV
2. 4
• Observe separation distances it to other devices emitting high
frequency (e.g., cell or wireless phones, defibrillators, electro -
cautery devices, etc.). Unwanted interference can be checked
on the ventilator.
• Magnetic resonance equipment produces emissions that can
damage the ventilator permanently.
• Do not remove the back panel under any circumstances.
Otherwise it will be sufficient cause to void the warranty in -
cluded in this manual. If you remove the back panel, HEYER
Medical AG. shall not responsible for the consequences that
this may cause on the equipment or to people. There may be
a risk of electrocution if it is removed while the device is in
operation.
• Use only gases (air and O
2
) that meet medical grade require -
ments of applicable rules.
• Do not connect any accessory other than those specified as
part of the system.
• Do not use any device that may restrict the flow or pressure
between the output supply and the supply hoses that feed the
ventilator. Therefore, DO NOT USE pressure regulators with
shutoff valves, or flow meters.
• In the event of a significant leak, check the patient circuit to
detect the section with the leak. Replace or repair the segment
to prevent any inadequate change in ventilation.
• The expiratory flow sensor (pneumotachograph) contains in
the inner middle a membrane whose integrity is essential for
the proper reading of the expired volume. When cleaning this
part, you must be careful not to damage the membrane.
• While the ventilator is ventilating a patient, do not establish
any connection between it and a data network, or to any ex -
ternal equipment that does not meet electrical safety require -
ments necessary to be considered as an electromedical sys -
tem or equipment.
• Only HEYER Medical AG. or personnel authorized by the com -
pany may replace or modify the ventilator or its parts.
PRECAUTION
• Do not use solvents, acetone, chloroform or strong acidic substan -
ces or chlorinated solvents to clean plastic parts or hoses in the
patient circuit.
• DO NOT USE sodium hypochlorite solutions (bleach) to clean the
“Hytrel” patient circuit hoses.
• DO NOT USE pure alcohol anywhere, or cleaning solutions contai -
ning alcohol, or cleaners containing conditioners.
• The ventilator cabinet must not be subjected to sterilization with
ethylene oxide gas. This can cause irreparable damage to its com-
ponents.
• Ethylene oxide can cause alterations in the surface of plastics and
accelerate the aging of rubber components.
• If when switching on the equipment, after an extended time of disu -
se, the system displays low battery power warnings, the ventilator
must be connected to a network of adequate power for a period of 8
(eight) hours. If these signals persist, they may indicate the need for
a battery replacement. In this case, contact the authorized service.
