Safety instructions
EN
• An exhalation system must always be used with leakage ventilation, otherwise
the CO
2
concentration in the breathing mask and tube would rise to critical
values and thus obstruct breathing.
• Ventilation modes MPVv and MPVp for mouthpiece ventilation may only be used
on patients with a stable independent respiratory drive.
• Always use a suitable water trap if the patient produces a great deal of secretion
during ventilation, otherwise fluid may get into the device. This can lead to
damage to the device and thus a risk to the patient.
• In ventilation modes with a trigger function on inspiration, hyperventilation may
result.
• Only converter cable USB-RS485 WM 93318, SpO
2
module
WM 27280 or
converter box WM 93316 may be connected to the RS485 serial port.
Caution!
• Check whether the power supply of the device matches that of your local power
supply. The device can operate with voltages of 110-230 V. It automatically
adapts to one of these voltages.
• Ensure that the power cord is connected correctly. Always secure the power plug
with the cable-securing clip to prevent the plug being removed by mistake.
• 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 use sockets with an On/Off switch or dimmable sockets.
• Do not set up the device close to a radiator and do not expose it to direct
sunlight, as this could overheat the device. Condensation could also form in the
humidifier used and condense in the patient circuit.
• Never push objects, cloths etc. into the openings of the device. This may block
inlets and outlets and lead to damage to the device.
• The device must be on standby or switched off for the SD card to be removed
or inserted, otherwise therapy data may be lost.
• Ensure that only those ventilation programs which should be accessible for the
respective patient are enabled.
Note:
• The use of accessories in the respiratory flow, such as bacteria filters, for
example, may change the characteristics of the device. Subsequent addition of
these accessories may make it necessary to reset device parameters. The total
