3 Safety
- The TNI
®
device may not be used by patients with a
respiratory tract bypass.
- Because the TNI
®
device humidifies and comfortably applies
air into the nose, the possible known side effects for non-
invasive ventilation (e.g. irritation of the mucous membrane,
a runny nose or nose bleeds for patients with blood clotting
disorders) are highly unlikely, but remotely possible.
- These operating instructions are deemed to be an integral
part of the unit and must be available and accessible at all
times.
- The observance of these operating instructions is a
prerequisite for the proper and safe operation of the TNI
®
device and the delivered connection unit.
- The threads of the blender correspond to the respective nuts
of the flowmeter. Make sure the flowmeter sits firmly on the
mixer block.
- These operating instructions describe the current status
of the appliance including software and accessories, with
due regard to the basic requirements of the current Medical
Device Directive.
- The TNI
®
device must be operated within the permitted
ambient conditions (see the chapter 7 “Technical
Specifications“). If the unit is operated outside the range
specified for the warranted performance parameters, the
function-related performance parameters will be reduced. If
the ambient conditions remain outside the specified range,
the safety circuit will prevent the unit from being enabled.
- For proper operation, the device has to be adjusted to the
ambient conditions. Please wait 2-4 hours before you start
therapy. This applies when the device is used for the first
time or it was transported outside the ambient range.
- Never use the unit in humid rooms and in explosive or
combustible environments.
