1.5 Side effects
When using the device, the following undesired side effects
may occur in the short-term or long-term use: Pressure
points from the mask and the forehead cushion on the face,
reddening of the facial skin, dry throat, mouth, nose, feeling
of pressure in the sinuses, irritated conjunctiva in the eyes,
gastrointestinal insufflation of air ("bloating"), nosebleeds;
muscular atrophy in the case of long-term ventilation. These
are general side effects not attributable specifically to use of
devices of type LM150TD.
2 Safety
2.1 Safety information
2.1.1 Handling the device, the
components, and the accessories
If the device is damaged or its function is restricted, people
may be injured.
Only operate the device and its components if they are
externally undamaged.
Perform a function check at regular intervals
.
Only operate, store, and transport the device within the
specified ambient conditions
.
Always keep an alternative means of ventilation
available in order to avoid a life-threatening situation if
the device fails.
Circuit(s) and adaptor(s) may pose choking hazards and
should be kept out of reach of children.
Do not use the device in an MRI environment or in a
hyperbaric chamber.
Do not reuse disposables. Disposables may be
contaminated and/or their function may be impaired.
Do not use or supply anesthetic gases.
Set acoustic alarm volume high enough for the acoustic
alarm to be heard.
Eliminate leaks on the breathing mask or circuit. In the
event of unintended leaks, the values displayed for
volume and exhaled CO
2
will deviate from actual
patient values.
Only use accessory parts from the manufacturer.
Do not use antistatic or electrically-conductive circuits.
The accuracy of the device may be impaired by the gas
supplied by a pneumatic nebulizer.
Regularly check the breathing system filter for increased
resistance and blockages. Moistening with nebulizers or
humidifiers may increase the resistance of breathing
system filters and thus change the therapeutic pressure
delivered. In order to prevent increased resistance and
blockages, replace the breathing system filter more
frequently.
Set up external humidifiers below the device and the
patient connection. Water in the device may damage
the device or injure the patient.
2.1.2 Electromagnetic compatibility
The device is subject to special precautions with regard to
EMC (electromagnetic compatibility). If these precautions
are not followed, the device may malfunction and individuals
may be injured.
Portable high-frequency communication equipment
(e.g. radios and cell phones), including their accessories
such as antenna cables and external antennas, for
example, must be used at a distance of at least 30 cm
from the device and its cables.
Do not use the device in the vicinity of active high-
frequency surgical equipment.
Operate the device within the EMC environment
specified for this device
interference immunity”, page 47)
key performance characteristics being affected - for
example, ventilation parameters being affected by
electromagnetic interference.
Do not operate the device if the housing, cables or other
equipment for electromagnetic shielding are damaged.
The use of third-party accessories, third-party inverters
and third-party cables may lead to increased
electromagnetic interference or reduced
electromagnetic interference immunity of the device
and to faulty operation. Only use original connecting
cables from the manufacturer.
Do not operate the device in the immediate vicinity of
other devices, otherwise there may be malfunctions. If it
is necessary to operate the device in the immediate
vicinity of other devices, keep all the devices under
observation to ensure that they are all operating
properly.
2.1.3 Energy supply
Operating the device outside the specified energy supply
may injure the user, damage the device or impair the
performance of the device, and injure the patient.
Operate the power supply unit only at voltages from
100 V to 240 V.
Use DC cable LMT 31597 for operation on voltages of
12 V or 24 V.
Keep access to the power supply connector and the
power supply free at all times.
When using a battery-operated wheelchair: Connect
the device to the wheelchair battery only if a connection
of that kind is expressly provided in the instructions for
use for the wheelchair.
When operating using the cigarette lighter socket in a
car: Disable the car’s auto start/stop feature. Start the
car first, then connect the device.
