3 Safety
- Upon changing patients, the TNI
®
device must be cleaned
and disinfected as described in Chapter 6 „Hygiene“. The
applicator must be replaced
.
- The applicator tube must not be obstructed or covered (e.g.
by pillows, bed covers, sheets, etc.). During therapy, place
the applicator tube on top of the bed covers.
- The patient should make sure not to lie on the applicator
tube as this will disrupt the air flow.
- If the applicator is worn and the patient repeatedly turns
in the same direction, he or she may experience pressure
sores and body constrictions. There is also the risk that the
humidifier unit can fall on the floor.
- Use only original accessories and authorized spare parts
(connection unit, hose and tube system, applicator, etc.). The
use of third party products can result in functioning failure
and health risks. Please note that the warranty and liability
expires in these cases.
- Protect the packed applicator from direct sunlight and store
in a dry place.
- The applicator is single patient use only.
- Add-on equipment connected to the analog and digital ports
of the unit must be shown to comply with their appropriate
EN specifications (e.g. EN 60950 for data-processing
devices and EN 60601 for electro-medical devices). Also, all
configurations of the valid version must comply with system
standard EN 60601-1-1. Anyone connecting additional
devices to the signal input or output component is deemed
to be a system configurator and is responsible for ensuring
that the effective version of the system standard EN 60601-
1-1 is observed and maintained. Please contact TNI medical
AG if you have any queries.
