5. Warnings
5.1 Operational warnings
The following warnings must be read and understood before using the SLE1000. Failure to
do so could lead to injury or death of the patient.
5.1.1 General
1. The whole of this manual should be read and understood before using the SLE1000.
Operators must be suitably trained and clinically authorised for using the SLE1000 with
patients.
2. Oxygen - Clinical use. Oxygen is a drug and should be prescribed as such.
3. Oxygen - Fire Hazard. Oxygen vigorously supports combustion and its use requires
special precaution to avoid fire hazards. Keep all sources of ignition away when oxygen
is in use. Do not use oil or grease on oxygen fittings or where oxygen is used.
4. The SLE1000 is not a dedicated transport device and does not conform to the
requirements of BS EN 794-3.
5. Always disconnect the air and oxygen hoses from the wall outlets prior to disconnection
from the unit.
6. Do not use in the presence of flammable anaesthetics.
7. Check the condition of the gas supply hoses to the SLE1000. Do not use any hose that
shows signs of cracking, abrasion, kinking, splits, excessive wear or ageing. Make sure
that the Air or O
2
hose has not come into contact with oil or grease.
8. Audible and Visual warning alarms indicate a potentially harmful condition to the patient.
9. The patient must not be connected to the unit in “Standby” mode. The unit does not
deliver any therapeutic flow in this modes. In “Standby” mode all patient and gas alarms
are disabled with the exception of the “Low battery” alarm and all system failure alarms.
10. When the SLE1000 is being used on a patient, a suitably trained person must be in
attendance at all times to take prompt action should an alarm or other indication of a
problem occur.
11. The SLE1000 must not be used as the sole form of patient monitoring. Independent
monitoring of blood gases should be used in conjunction with the SLE1000. Breath
detection technology used in the apnoea monitor function is based on rate and
magnitude of change in the pressure measured in the patient interface (that is shown on
the bar graph). The sensitivity of the technology has limitations with the smallest patients
(<1000g) and if a leak exists or if the patient opens/breathes by the mouth. The apnoea
monitor may be disabled if breath non-detection / over detection results in nuisance
Apnoea / High BPM alarms.
12. At low CPAP pressures (<4mbar) it is possible for the unit not to detect a leak condition,
even in the presence of large leak.
