General Warnings Regarding Use of Equipment
•
The ventilator must be used only under the responsibility and on the prescription of a doctor.
•
The ventilator must be used according to its intended use. Refer to section 2.1, “Indications for
Use” .
•
Be aware this manual describes how to respond to ventilator, but it does NOT tell you how to
respond to the patient.
•
While the ventilator is in use, an alternative means of ventilation should always be available in
the event of a ventilator problem. This is particularly true for ventilator-dependent patients.
Supplementary observation, appropriate for the patient's condition, is also recommended.
•
To ensure that ventilation continues uninterrupted, ensure alternative power sources are
available (AC power source, extra batteries, or an auxiliary DC car adapter). Be prepared for the
possibility of power failure by having an alternative means of ventilation ready for use—
particularly for ventilator-dependent patients.
