1 Before use
Replacing a cable or internal component that is not provided by
Air Liquide Medical Systems
, may lead
to a rise in emissions or a decrease in the immunity of the device.
Connection to other electrical devices
Do not connect the device to other electrical appliances not mentioned in this user manual without
first consulting the manufacturers or technical support.
Devices connected to the inputs and signal outputs must comply with the 60601-1 Standard, Edition 2.
Commissioning
The device must not be put into service immediately after storage or transportation where the temper-
ature and humidity were different from the recommended operating conditions.
Before each use, check that the audible and visual alarms are working correctly and carry out the
checking process in the appendix (see Checklist on page 135).
Use
The manufacturer has provided solutions for most of the possible malfunctions of the ventilator, and
these are normally covered by the internal monitoring system. It is nevertheless recommended, in case
of complete patient dependence to provide an additional and fully autonomous system which can be
used to check the effectiveness of ventilation, as well as a back-up device, such as a suitable manual
insufflator. Lack of an alternative means of ventilation may result in patient death should the ventilator
fail.
If the accessories used are not compliant with the manufacturer’s recommendations, the manufactur-
er accepts no responsibility in the event of an incident.
Do not expose the device to direct sunlight.
Do not use the
Monnal T75
in a hyperbaric chamber. It is not reccommended to push the pulmonary
ventilator by its top when fitted on its trolley. To move, push using the handle (at the base of the venti-
lator)
The device and its accessories (masks, circuits, etc.) are Latex Free in order to avoid the risk of allergic
reactions.
The air inlets behind and under the device must be completely unobstructed.
To operate the device from ambient air, a
Monnal Clean’In
(HEPA) filter must be used at the ventilator
inlet. This filter is recommended by
Air Liquide Medical Systems
.
Do not use the ventilator in an explosive or nicotine-laden atmosphere (cigarette smoke, fire, etc.).
Risk of cross-contamination
Reusing single-use accessories or consumables carries the risk of patient cross-contamination. This
risk also arises if reusable accessories or consumables are not sterilized between each use.
The endotracheal tube, mask, patient circuit, expiratory valve, humidification chamber, and the probe
or nebulizer adapters are part of the air pathway that may be contaminated under normal and sin-
gle-fault conditions by body fluids, secretions or gases exhaled by the patient.
