Any HUMIDIFIER used with the MVP-10 must be a "flow-through" type having a low
pressure drop. Use of a humidifier with a "bubbler" tube or pressure jet will render the
SAFETY RELIEF VALVE ineffective.
Do not use in an MRI room unless the MVP-10 has been built by Bio-Med Devices for such
an environment. This will be indicated by an MR-conditional label on top of the unit and an
“M” at the end of the serial number.
Do not re-use disposable breathing circuits. Re-use of disposable (single-use) breathing
circuits can result in contamination (patient infection) or circuit degradation (circuit can fall
apart, develop holes, or exhibit polymer decay).
A high / low pressure alarm monitor must be used in conjunction with this ventilator. The
high pressure alarm level should never be set above the lowest relief valve setting.
Do not continue using a ventilator which has been significantly impacted or abused.
Volume-limited ventilators should not be used on unattended patients.
CAUTIONS
The BMD MVP-10 Ventilator is intended for use by qualified clinical personnel only. This
Instruction Manual should be read before using the equipment.
Because this is a CE marked device, it must never be modified without prior expressed
written consent from Bio-Med Devices.
As noted later in the text of this Manual, the MVP-10's time cycle settings are affected by
large changes in barometric pressure, flow rates, and gas composition. They are
repeatable, however, within 5% under constant conditions. As with any ventilator, periodic
blood gas studies should be made to ensure proper levels of ventilation.
Antistatic or electrically conductive hoses or tubing should not be used.
