• Do not use the Vivo 65 in environments where there are explosive
gases or other flammable anesthetic agents present.
• The air flow for breathing produced by the Vivo 65 can be as much
as 7°F (4°C) higher than room temperature. Caution should be exer-
cised if the room temperature is greater that 97°F (36°C).
• If a room humidifier is used, place it at least 6 feet (2 meters) away
from the Vivo 65.
• The performance of the Vivo 65 may deteriorate at ambient temper-
atures below -4°F (-20°C) and above 104°F (40°C). However, the
treatment shall always be started in an ambient temperature warmer
than 41°F (5°C).
• MR Unsafe.
Do not use or store the Vivo 65 in a magnetic resonance (MR) envi-
ronment. Use of the Vivo 65 in an MR environment may result in
malfunction of the Vivo 65 and pose unacceptable risk to the patient,
medical staff or other persons.
• Do not expose the Vivo 65 to rain or snowfall.
• Do not use the Vivo 65 while positioned in a warm place, such as
direct sunlight or close to a radiator.
• The device complies with the EMC requirements of standards.
Measures should include but not be limited to:
– normal precautions with regard to relative humidity and conductive
characteristics of clothing in order to minimize the build-up of elec-
trostatic charges.
– avoiding the use of radio emitting devices closer than 1 meter to the
Vivo 65. Radio emitting devices include cellular or cordless tele-
phones, microwave ovens and high-frequency surgery apparatus.
