1.1.1 Dangers
There are no dangers that refer to the product in general. Specific “Danger” statementsmay be
given in the respective sections of this manual.
1.1.2 Warnings
WARNING
The ventilator must only be operated and used by authorized medical personnel well trained in the
use of this product. It must be operated strictly following the Operator’s Manual.
Before putting the system into operation, the operator must verify that the equipment, connecting
cables and accessories are in correct working order and operating condition.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must be connected to a properly installed power
outlet with protective earth contacts only. If the installation does not provide for a protective earth

15 /182
conductor, disconnect it from the power line.
Use external power source (AC power or DC power) before the batteries are depleted.
To avoid explosion hazard, do not use the equipment in the presence of flammable anesthetic
agent, vapors or liquids. When O2 is used, keep the ventilator away from any fire sources.
Do not place the ventilator adjacent to any barrier, which can prevent cold air from flowing,
resulting in equipment over heat.
Do not open the equipment housings. All servicing and future upgrades must be carried out by the
personnel trained and authorized by us only.
Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitoring. Adjustment of alarm
volume to a low level may result in a hazard to the patient. Remember that alarm settings should
be customized according to different patient situations and always keeping the patient under close
surveillance is the most reliable way for safe patient monitoring.
The physiological parameters and alarm messages displayed on the screen of the equipment are
for doctor’s reference only and cannot be directly used as the basis for clinical treatment.
To dispose of the package material, observe the applicable waste control regulations. And keep
the package material out of children’s reach.
All staff should be aware that disassembling or cleaning some parts of the ventilator can cause risk
of infection.
Maintenance menu can only be accessed when the equipment is disconnected from the patient.
Positive pressure ventilation may be accompanied by some side effects such as barotrauma,
hypoventilation, hyperventilation, etc.
Using the ventilator in the vicinity of high frequency electrosurgery equipment, defibrillators or
short-wave therapy equipment may impair correct functioning of the ventilator and endanger the
patient.
Do not use antistatic or conductive masks or patient tubing. They can cause burns if they are used
near high frequency electrosurgery equipment.
Do not use the ventilator in a hyperbaric chamber to avoid potential fire hazard due to an
oxygen-enriched environment.
If the equipment internal monitoring system malfunctions, an alternative plan must be available to
ensure adequate level of monitoring. The operator of the ventilator must be responsible for
patient’s proper ventilation and safety under all circumstances.
As required by the relevant rules and regulations, oxygen concentration should be monitored when
the equipment is used on the patient. If your ventilator is not configured with such monitoring
function or this function is turned off, use a monitor which complies with the requirements of ISO
80601-2-55 for oxygen concentration monitoring.
All analog or digital products connected to this system must be certified to the specified IEC
standards (such as IEC 60950 for data processing equipment and IEC 60601-1 for medical
electrical equipment). All configurations shall comply with the valid version of IEC 60601-1. The

16 /182
personnel who are responsible for connecting the optional equipment to the I/O signal port shall be
responsible for medical system configuration and system compliance with IEC 60601-1 as well.
Do not touch the patient when connecting the peripheral equipment via the I/O signal ports or
replacing the oxygen cell, to prevent patient leakage current from exceeding the requirements
specified by the standard.
This equipment is not suitable for use in an MRI environment.
When the ventilator’s gas supply input system fails or has faults, please contact us immediately for
service by specified personnel.
The ventilator shall not be used with helium or mixtures with Helium.
Do not move the ventilator before removing the support arm from it, in order to avoid the ventilator
getting tilted during the movement.
Do not block the air intake at the rear of the ventilator.
To prevent interrupted operation of the ventilator due to electromagnetic interference, avoid using
the ventilator adjacent to or stack with another device. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary,
verify the ventilator’s normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
To prevent possible personal injury and equipment damage, ensure that the ventilator is secured
to the trolley or placed on the safe and smooth surface.
To prevent possible equipment damage, avoid tipping over the ventilator when crossing

occurs, remove the equipment immediately, record failure code, and contact the Customer Service
Department.
To prevent possible ventilator malfunction, do not spill liquid onto the ventilator.
A turbine can cause gas to be heated. To reduce the temperature of gas inside the tubing and
prevent patient injury accordingly, ensure that the length of patient tubing from the humidifier to Y
piece is greater than 1.2m.
The internal electrical power source is to be used if the integrity of the protective earth conductor or
the protective grounding system in the installation is in doubt.
Nebulization or humidification can increase the resistance of breathing system filters, and that you
need to monitor the filter frequently for increased resistance and blockage.
The ventilation accuracy can be affected by the gas added by use of a nebulizer.
The ventilator shall not be used with nitric oxide.
For non-invasive ventilation, the exhaled volume of the patient can differ from the measured
exhaled volume due to leaks around the mask.
Check if the alarm limit settings are appropriate before taking measurement.

When operating the unit with the power supply unit, always connect the unit to an easily accessible
outlet so that it can be unplugged quickly in the event of a malfunction.
No modification of this equipment is allowed.
Failure to have an alternative means of ventilation such as a self-inflating, manually-powered
resuscitator (as specified in ISO 10651-4) with mask can result in PATIENT death if the
VENTILATOR fails.
Stop using the ventilator and contact us immediately when the buzzer sounds.
Under the ambient temperature of 40℃, the inspiratory pressure of the ventilator exceeds 60
cmH2O, and the maximum temperature on the surface of breathing mask may exceed 41ºC but
does not exceed 43℃
The effect that a potential hazard can exist if different ALARM PRE-SETS are used for the same or
similar equipment in any single area.
1.1.3 Cautions
CAUTION
The ventilator must be inspected and serviced regularly by trained service personnel.
To ensure patient safety, always prepare resuscitator for use.
Always have a special person attend and monitor the operation of the equipment once the
ventilator is connected to the patient.
During the operation of the ventilator, do not disassemble the inspiration safety valve and
expiration valve unless in standby status.
To ensure patient safety, use only parts and accessories specified in this manual.
At the end of its service life, the equipment, as well as its accessories, must be disposed of in
compliance with the guidelines regulating the disposal of such products.
Magnetic and electrical fields are capable of interfering with the proper performance of the
equipment. For this reason, ensure that all external devices operated in the vicinity of the
equipment comply with the relevant EMC requirements. Mobile phone, X-ray equipment or MRI
devices are a possible source of interference as they may emit higher levels of electromagnetic
radiation.
This system operates correctly at the electrical interference levels identified in this manual. Higher
levels can cause nuisance alarms that may stop mechanical ventilation. Pay attention to false
alarms caused by high-intensity electrical fields.
CAUTION
Before connecting the equipment to the power line, check that the voltage and frequency ratings of

18 /182
the power line are the same as those indicated on the equipment’s label or specified in this manual.
Always install or carry the equipment properly to avoid damage caused by dropping down, impact,
strong vibration or other mechanical force.
To electrically isolate the ventilator circuits from all poles of the supply mains simultaneously,
disconnect the mains plug. Do not to position the ME EQUIPMENT so that it is difficult to operate the
disconnection device.
To minimize the risk of fire, do not use low-pressure gas tubes that are worn or contaminated with
combustible materials like grease or oil.
It is the clinician’s responsibility to ensure that all ventilator settings are appropriate.
To prevent possible patient injury, ensure the ventilator is set up for appropriate patient type with the
appropriate patient tubing. Ensure the System Check is performed before each patient.
Perform Flow Sensor Calibration before the first use, or when the measured values have deviations.
To prevent possible patient injury, ensure the ventilation parameters are set up properly before
ventilating the patient.
To ensure the accuracy of oxygen monitoring, replace an exhausted oxygen cell as soon as
possible or use an external monitor that complies with ISO 80601-2-55.
A fan failure could result in oxygen enrichment inside the ventilator and a subsequent fire hazard.
To reduce the risk of explosion, do not burn the O2 cell or force the cell open.
When ventilating with a mask, avoid high airway pressures. High pressures may cause gastric
distension.
Peak pressures, exceeding 33 cmH2O, may increase the risk of aspiration due to gastric
insufflation. When ventilating with such pressures, consider using an invasive mode.
To reduce the risk of fire, use only tube systems approved for medical purposes and for use with
oxygen between the oxygen source and ventilator.
To reduce the risk of fire, ensure adequate ventilation at the rear of the ventilator.
To reduce the risk of fire, switch off the oxygen source when the ventilator is not in a ventilating
mode.
Avoid putting the ventilator in the storage environment of more than 50℃for a long time. Such
environment may damage or shorten the battery lives of internal battery and oxygen sensor.
Use the original packing materials to ship the ventilator.
To prevent fire hazard, use only specified fuses or fuses with the same type, rated voltage, and
rated current as the existing fuses. When it is necessary to replace fuses, contact the Customer
Service Department.
The ventilator is suitable for use within the PATIENT ENVIRONMENT.
Additional MULTIPLE SOCKET- OUTLET or extension cord shall not be connected to the system.
Before moving the ventilator, ensure that the casters and brakes can work properly, and the main
unit is locked on the trolley.
