1. Safety Information
Accessories
Do not use any accessories, detachable parts, and materials
not recommended by Philips Respironics. Incompatible parts or
accessories can result in degraded performance.
The USB charging port is designed only for use in charging a
mobile device, such as a cell phone. Ensure there are no additional
accessories attached to the mobile device while connected to this
charging port.
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified
or provided by the manufacturer of this equipment could result in
increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic
immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.
Oxygen
When using oxygen with this system, the oxygen supply must comply
with local regulations for medical oxygen.
Do not connect the device to an unregulated or high pressure oxygen
source.
When using oxygen with this system, a Philips Respironics pressure valve
must be placed in-line with the patient circuit between the device and
the oxygen source. The pressure valve helps to prevent the back flow
of oxygen from the patient circuit into the device when the unit is off.
Failure to use the pressure valve could result in a fire hazard.
Oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen should not be used while
smoking or in the presence of an open flame.
Do not use the device in the presence of a flammable anesthetic
mixture in combination with oxygen or air, in the presence of nitrous
oxide, or in an oxygen-enriched environment.
Do not use the device near a source of toxic or harmful vapors.
When using oxygen with this system, turn the device on before
turning on the oxygen. Turn the oxygen off before turning the device
off. This will prevent oxygen accumulation in the device.
Explanation of the Warning
: When the device is not in operation
and the oxygen flow is left on, oxygen delivered into the tubing may
accumulate within the device’s enclosure. Oxygen accumulated in the
device enclosure will create a risk of fire.
EMC
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment
should be avoided because it could result in improper operation.
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that
a minimum separation of six inches be maintained between a
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. The DreamStation Go on-board
Bluetooth
communication should be considered a wireless phone in this regard.
