Transport Vehicles
Electromagnetic fields generated by communications and emergency equipment found on
most medical transport vehicles may affect the performance of the humidifier. Furthermore,
extreme environmental conditions may result in nuisance alarms or extended warm-up
times. The interior temperature of the vehicle should be within the recommended operating
environment temperature range. The user should confirm the performance of the humidifier
in the particular transport vehicle prior to use.
Warning:
This unit requires 120 V ~ (nominal) 60 Hz sine wave output. If used in a
transport vehicle requiring an inverter, do not use square wave or pulse width modulated
sine wave output. Overheating could result.
Warm or Cool Environments
Operating the humidifier in environments near the extremes of its operating environment
temperature range may result in alarms as the unit attempts to control the airway
temperature as it is affected by heat transfers along the circuit path.
The ConchaTherm Neptune works best at a room temperature of 22 to 26 °C (72 to 78 °F).
Evaluate the circuit, circuit length, room temperature and other factors before placing the
humidifier into service.
