not in use to insure best battery performance.
The flow resistance of the air inlet filter, located on the right side of
ventilator, is likely to increase with repeated use. Ensure that the
filter is changed regularly.
The HT50 Ventilator is guaranteed to perform to specification when
the Newport HT50 breathing circuit with exhalation valve is used.

approved exhalation valves can be used with
the HT50.
Perform an exhalation valve calibration each time a clean
circuit/exhalation valve is installed.
The functioning of this machine may be adversely affected by the
operation of equipment, such as high frequency surgical
(diathermy) equipment, defibrillators or short-wave therapy
equipment in the vicinity.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
EMC limits for the Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC (EN55011
Class A and EN 60601-1-2). These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a typical
medical installation. The equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with these instructions, may cause harmful
interference to other devices in the vicinity. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference with other
devices, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving device
•
Increase the separation between the equipment
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the devices(s) is connected
• Consult the manufacturer or field service technician for help.
Cautions
Only use medical grade oxygen with the Air/Oxygen Entrainment
Mixer or Oxygen Blending Bag Kit.
Do not place liquid containers in the immediate vicinity or on top of
the HT50. Liquids that get into the ventilator can cause equipment
malfunction and damage.
