WARNINGS!
• A Pre-use check must always be done
before connecting the ventilator to a
patient.
• Always disconnect the ventilator if any
operation which may involve risk for the
patient will be done, e.g. replacement of
O
2
cell.
• Should any unfamiliar events occur, such
as irrelevant pop-up windows on the
screen, unfamiliar sounds, alarms from the
Patient Unit or technical high priority
alarms, the ventilator should immediately
be checked and, if applicable, replaced.
• Check continuously that the patient
tubing, connectors and other parts/
equipment are properly connected.
• The Servo-i Ventilator System is not
intended to be used with any anesthetic
agent. To avoid risk of fire, flammable
agents such as ether and cyclopropane
must not under any circumstances be
used with this device.
Cautions:
• When connected to a patient, the
ventilator must never be left unattended.
• Before use, make sure the software
version displayed under Status
corresponds to the version of the User´s
manual.
• Check the water traps regularly during
operation and empty if necessary.
• Do not use sharp tools on the screen.
• For extra safety, a resuscitator should
always be readily accessible.
• The Expiratory cassette must not be lifted
up when the ventilator is in operation. (This
may, however, be done when in Standby
setting).
• Values measured at the signal outputs of
the Servo-i Ventilator System and which
have been processed in auxiliary
equipment must not be used as a
substitute for therapeutic or diagnostic
decisions. Such decisions can be made
only by staff with medical expertise,
according to established and accepted
practice. If auxiliary equipment that has
not been manufactured by MAQUET is
used, MAQUET denies all responsibility for
the accuracy of signal processing.
• When combining the Servo-i Ventilator
System with accessories and auxiliary
equipment other than those
recommended by MAQUET, it is the
responsibility of the user to ensure the
integrity of system performance and
safety. In order to maintain electrical
system safety, i.e. such that compliance
with IEC 60601-1-1 is fulfilled, only
accessories and auxiliary equipment that
meet current IEC standards (e.g. IEC
60601-1, IEC 950) may be connected to
signal inputs and outputs of the Servo-i
Ventilator System.
• If there should be any deviation between
information shown on the User Interface of
the ventilator and that shown by the
auxiliary equipment, the ventilator
parameters shown on the User Interface
shall be considered the primary source for
information.
• When using closed system suctioning:
– If the suctioning flow is higher than that
which is delivered by the ventilator, a
negative pressure may be generated
which will be applied to the lung and the
ventilator breathing system.
– Do not use Inspiratory pause hold, or
Expiratory pause hold during the closed
suctioning procedure.
Important:When an active humidifier is used
the measured expired volume may be larger
than the inspired vapour, since gas volume
expands when vapour is absorbed.
