3. Safety information
Please read these instructions for use carefully. They are a component of the device and
must be available at all times.
Use the device exclusively for the intended purpose (see “2.1 Intended use” on page 9)
described.
For your own safety and the safety of your patients and in accordance with the
requirements of Directive 93/42 EEC, follow the safety instructions below.
3.1 Safety instructions
Operating the device
Caution!
•
Check whether the power supply of the device matches the power
supply in your home. The device can operate with voltages 115 V and
230 V. It automatically adapts to one of these voltages.
Exception:
the
SOMNO
vent
CR 230 V (WM 23470) can only operate with a voltage of
230 V. For operation on 12 V DC or 24 V DC, use an inverter which is
available as an accessory.
•
The device must be connected to an easily accessible socket so that the
plug can be taken out quickly in the event of a fault.
•
Do not set up the device close to a radiator and do not expose it to direct
sunlight, as this could heat up the respiratory air and also the internal
parts. This could cause condensation to form in the respiratory humidifier
which would then be deposited in the tube system.
•
Do not cover the device with blankets etc.. The air inlet would be blocked
and the device could overheat. This may lead to inadequate therapy and
damage to the device.
•
Maintain a safe distance between the SOMNO
vent
CR and devices which
emit HF radiation (e.g. mobile telephones) (see page 45), otherwise there
may be malfunctions.
•
Do not operate the therapy device and the respiratory humidifier if the
device is not working properly, if parts are damaged and/or the
respiratory humidifier is wet at the contact of the heating element.
