• Clinical personnel must read the Clinician’s manual thoroughly and under-
stand the Vivo 40 operation before setting up and using the machine.
• The user must read the user manual thoroughly and understand the
Vivo 40 operation before using the machine.
• All the physiological alarms of the Vivo 40 must be set at safe levels that
will effectively warn the user of any risk. The alarm levels should be
assessed considering the patient settings. Any change of settings or compo-
nents may require the readjustment of the alarm levels.
• Handle the Vivo 40 with care.
• Make sure to place and pack the device in a way that prevents unintentional
start of the machine. Due to the internal battery, the Vivo 40 may start if the
Start/Stop button is pressed even without the mains being connected.
• Do not use the Vivo 40 while in a carry bag. Attach the rear lid and place
the swivel in a down position when placing the Vivo 40 in the bag.
• If using the Vivo 40 for a short intra hospital or vehicle transportation, the
following cautions need to be observed:
– Do not mount the Vivo 40 on a wheelchair or in a vehicle.
– Make sure that the Vivo 40 stands securely in a upright position and cannot
tilt or fall.
– Do not use the Vivo 40 outdoors during rain or snowfall.
– If the HA 20 is attached, make sure that it is not in use and that the water
chamber is empty.
