Chapter 3 Summary of Warnings and Cautions
675–101–101 Rev. P
• Anti-static or electrically conductive hoses or tubing should not be used within the
patient circuit.
• If a mechanical or electrical problem is recognized while operating the Infant
Flow SiPAP driver, it must be removed from use and referred to qualified service
personnel for servicing. Using inoperative equipment may result in patient injury.
• Prior to patient application, ensure that all User Verification testing and
calibration procedures are successfully completed. User Verification testing and
calibration procedures must be done off patient.
• The indicates a connection between the Transducer Assembly and the
driver. It does not indicate attachment or correct positioning of the Abdominal
Respiratory Sensor.
• Under certain conditions (minimum supply pressure and maximum gas demand,
including auxiliary output) output flow rates and therefore pressure delivered to
the generator may be reduced.
• The Pres High flow meter must be adjusted to zero when not required for the
patient.
• Whenever a patient is attached to respiratory care equipment, constant
attendance is required by qualified personnel. The use of an alarm or monitoring
system does not give absolute assurance of warning for every malfunction that
may occur in the system. In addition, some alarm conditions may require
immediate attention.
• Nasal CPAP therapy in general can cause nasal irritation, septal distortion, skin
irritation and pressure necrosis. Adherence to the recommended usage
instructions for the Infant Flow nCPAP System and AirLife Infant nCPAP System
may reduce the incidence of these complications.
• It is strongly recommended that regular monitoring for gastric distention be
carried out for patients receiving noninvasive ventilatory support. Refer to your
facility’s policy and procedure for further guidance.
• This device exhausts O2 during normal operation. Oxygen vigorously accelerates
combustion. To avoid fire hazard, do not place flammable materials or sources of
heat close to the exhaust.
• The Abdominal Respiratory Sensor is used only to enable features associated
with certain modes from the Infant Flow SiPAP driver. When using the Abdominal
Respiratory Sensor, always use an additional, external device for monitoring of
the respiratory rate and detection of apneic episodes as well as an appropriate
monitor for continuous SaO2 monitoring.
• If the Infant Flow SiPAP driver is shelf mounted, ensure that the driver is stable
and that all circuit tubing, hoses and cables are restrained to avoid hazard of
toppling.
• If a patient water trap is to be used, empty it before using it, and empty it
frequently during use (at least every hour). Empty the water trap according to
approved, hospital procedures.
• Do not block or restrict the exhaust port located on the instrument back panel.
Equipment malfunction may result.
