1. Warnings and Cautions
The followng WARNINS and AUTIONS must be read and
understood before usng ths ventlator
WARNINS
Important
Delverng hgh fresh gas flows
1 Hgh fresh gas flows when usng closed endotracheal
sucton Ths ventlator s confgured to delver flows of
oxygen n excess of the maxmum shown on the flowmeter
tube n order to fll the ventlator bellows durng closed
endotracheal sucton Up to approxmately 30 L/mn can be
delvered
Delverng O flows n excess of the maxmum calbrated
flow wll temporarly negate the possblty of accurate
volume delvery and measurement Once the ventlator
bellows s full the O flow should be reduced to that n range
of the calbrated flow tube, then accurate volume delvery
and measurement wll resume

2 Users must make themselves famlar wth the contents
of ths manual and the machne’s functon before usng
the ventlator
Before Usng the Ventlator
3 Before the ventlator s used clncally for the frst tme a
albraton heck and Output heck must be successfully
completed hecks must be carred out by a Penlon-
traned engneer
4 onnect the ventlator to a mans supply wth a protectve
earth Before frst clncal use, verfy that the hosptal
engneerng department has carred out an earth
contnuty test If the ntegrty of the protectve conductor
s n doubt, do not use the ventlator
5 Excessve electronc nose caused by other poorly
regulated devces, such as an electrocautery unt, may
adversely nterfere the functonng of the ventlator
Do not connect the ventlator’s power cord nto the same
electrcal outlet as an electrocautery unt
6 If used wth a mans extenson cord, the unt may be
subect to electro-magnetc nterference
7 Portable RF communcatons equpment (ncludng
perpherals such as antenna cables and external
antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12
nches) to any part of the ventlator, ncludng cables
specfed by the manufacturer Otherwse, degradaton of
the performance of ths equpment could result
8 The drvng gas supply must be clean and dry to prevent
ventlator malfuncton
9 Ths ventlator s desgned to be drven by medcal ar
only The drve gas s set durng manufacture and the
ventlator s calbrated for that gas
Before the ventlator s used clncally for the frst tme,
the commssonng engneer must confrm that the ar/
oxygen selecton s set correctly to Ar
The use of any other gas wll cause naccurate operaton
and may damage the ventlator, resultng n potental
nury to the patent
10 The drvng gas s dscharged through the exhaust
valve port at the back of the ventlator control unt
The dscharged gas may contamnate the envronment
onnect to an ASS system f avalable
11 The bellows can only support approxmately 1 kPa
(10cmHO) dfferental postve pressure, above whch
t may be dslodged from the mountng rng, resultng n
dangerous malfuncton of the ventlator Do not connect
a postve end expratory pressure (PEEP) valve or other
restrctve devce to the exhaust port on the bellows base
Ths would ncrease the pressure nsde the bellows and
the bellows could detach from the base, causng serous
malfuncton
12 The data output, VA, and prnter ports must only be
connected to equpment complyng wth IE safety
standards (eg IE 60950) whch are then confgured to
comply wth IE 60601-1 (Medcal Systems)
13 Breathng System
The breathng system whch conveys gases from the
ventlator to the patent, and dsposes of expred gases,
must conform to the requrements of ISO80601-2-13
Because breathng systems requre frequent cleanng
and dsnfecton they are not a permanent part of the
ventlator and therefore cannot be drectly under the
control of the manufacturer However, we strongly
recommend that only breathng systems whch have been
approved and authorsed by the manufacturer for use
wth the ventlator should be employed
14 Do not use conductve breathng system hoses
15 The sprometer sensors are mounted wthn the
absorber Do not ft a sprometer sensor to any other
locaton The devce wll not measure exhaled volumes n
any other poston
16 Verfy the operaton of each alarm functon daly
Perodcally check the alarms at clncally sutable
ntervals If the audble alarm or the vsual ndcator
of any alarm functon fals to actvate durng any alarm
condton or fals to reset after the alarm has been
cleared, refer the unt to an authorsed servce engneer
17 Before usng the ventlator check that all hose
connectons are correct, and verfy that there are no
leaks Patent crcut dsconnects are a hazard to the
patent Extreme care should be taken to prevent such
occurrences
Usng the Ventlator
18 Do not use Spontaneous (SPONT) mode
19 Before each clncal procedure, carry out pre-use
functon checks on the ventlator (see secton 4213)
20 Ths apparatus must not be used wth, or n close
proxmty to, flammable anaesthetc agents
There s a possble fre or exploson hazard
