11. WARNING: To avoid the risk of electric shock, when using the comppac ventilator
in conjunction with the PS11 Power Supply/ Charger, the PS11 should be located
outside the patient environment (ie:
≥
1.5 Metres from the patient) (Section 2d)
#15 and 3a) ).
12. WARNING: Switching on the ventilator before the compressor reservoir pressure
reaches 50 psi as indicated on the anaesthetic machine air pressure gauge may
cause the gas failure indicator to malfunction. To avoid this always allow
compressor reservoir pressure to build up to 50 psi before switching on
ventilator (Section 3b) and 4).
13. WARNING: When running the ventilator from the compressor, rapid extreme
changes in temperature and humidity may cause the ventilator to malfunction
(Section 3b) and 4).
14. WARNING: Setting the anaesthetic machine air flowmeter above 2L/min may
cause an excessive drop in compressor reservoir pressure with a subsequent
drop in ventilation performance (Section 3b) and 4).
15. WARNING: Deviations noted at the functional check should be reported
immediately and the unit must be taken out of service to avoid the risk of death
or serious injury (Sections 3b)#9 & 6b).
16. WARNING: To avoid the risk of chemical / environmental hazards, disposal of a
contaminated/ used NBC filter must be in accordance with local regulations
(Section 3b #11).
17. WARNING: To avoid the risk of over inflation of the patient it is important for the
operator to constantly monitor the patient pressure manometer during manual
ventilation (Section 4).
18. WARNING: To avoid the risk of cross contamination all re usable components in
the patient circuit, that can come into contact with the patient or the patient’s
exhaled gas (Patient Valve and Patient Hoses) should be sterilized or disinfected
as per instructions detailed in Sections 5d) and 5e) of this user manual. The
sterilization process will also minimize the risk of contaminating the patient with
Legionella, which can found in some hospital hot water reservoirs.
19. WARNING: Failure to use approved circuits and accessories may lead to
unsatisfactory ventilator performance (Section 7).
20. WARNING: To avoid the risk of harm to the patient from an incorrectly set
ventilator, servicing or adjustment of this equipment should only be carried out
by competent personnel who have been trained by Smiths Medical International
Ltd. to carry out such work (Section 6c).
21. WARNING: Extreme environments may impair ventilator performance, operator
vigilance is required to monitor the patient.
22. WARNING: To avoid the risk of under inflation of the patient, it is important for
the operator to monitor tidal volumes. This is especially important iwth a
combination of ventilator minute volume settings of 12L and above, power
supply voltages below 24 Vdc and patients with low compliance lungs and
highly restrictive airways.
(ii) CAUTIONS
Cautions warn of dangerous conditions that can occur and cause damage to the
ventilator or its accessories, if you do not obey all of the instructions given in this manual:
1. CAUTION: It is recommended that the comppac ventilator is only used with a battery
installed, even if the ventilator is being powered by gas only, as the battery is used to
power the electronic alarm system. The ventilator will work without a battery or external
electrical supply, since it operates as a conventional gas powered device with the
patient protection devices and the high inflation pressure pneumatic alarm operating
normally. However, the user must be aware that in these circumstances, the electrically
operated alarms will NOT function. (Section 2e).
2. CAUTION: To avoid accidental disconnection of the power supply unit (PS11) when it is
connected to the comppac OEM unit, the power supply mains lead should always be
locked in position. (Section 2e).
3. CAUTION: Avoid fast charging batteries outside the temperature range of +10ºC to
+30ºC. The batteries will not accept a full charge outside this range and, in certain
circumstances, the capacity of the battery may be permanently impaired. At low
temperature, the electrolyte may be electrolysed, and small quantities of hydrogen
released, which in extreme circumstances present an explosive risk. (Section 2e).
4. CAUTION: The protective bung fitted to the NBC Filter should always be removed
before fitting it to the comppac ventilator (Sections 2e) & 3b) #11).
5. CAUTION: Excessive ingress of moisture could result in deterioration of internal
components, if the device is unlikely to be used regularly (ie more than once a week).
This could also result in the ventilator failing to start. To avoid this, ensure that the
comppac compressor unit is properly dried after each use. The comppac ventilator must
be dried internally as detailed in Section 5 a) iv), powered by the compressor alone (i.e.
delivering 21% oxygen) (Section 5ea).
