Cautions - CareFusion AVEA Operating Instructions Manual

x
Electric shock hazard - Do not remove any of the ventilator covers or panels. Refer all servicing to an authorized
•
CareFusion service technician.
A protective ground connection by way of the grounding conductor in the power cord is essential for safe operation.
•
Upon loss of protective ground, all conductive parts including knobs and controls that may appear to be insulated can
render an electric shock. To avoid electrical shock, plug the power cord into a properly wired receptacle, use only the
power cord supplied with the ventilator, and make sure the power cord is in good condition.
The AVEA is designed to ensure that the user and patient are not exposed to excessive leakage current per applicable
•
standards (UL2601 and IEC60601-1). However, this cannot be guaranteed when external devices are attached to the
ventilator. In order to prevent the risk of excessive enclosure leakage current from external equipment attached to the
RS-232, printer and video ports, isolation of the protective earth paths must be provided to ensure proper connection.
This isolation should ensure that the cable shields are isolated at the peripheral end of the cable.
Routine assessment of oxygenation and ventilation should be performed when a patient is receiving respiratory support.
•
Delivered and monitored flow as well as pressure and volume settings and values are subject to device
•
accuracy specifications as described herein.

Cautions

The following cautions apply any time you work with the ventilator.
Ensure that the voltage selection and installed fuses are set to match the voltage of the wall outlet, or damage may
•
result.
A battery that is fully drained (i.e. void of any charge) may cause damage to the ventilator and should be replaced.
•
All accessory equipment that is connected to the ventilator should comply with CSA/IEC601/UL2601.
•
To avoid damage to the equipment, clean the air filter regularly.
•
The following cautions apply when cleaning the ventilator or when sterilizing ventilator accessories.
Do not sterilize the ventilator. The internal components are not compatible with sterilization techniques.
•
Do not gas sterilize or steam autoclave tubing adapters or connectors in place. The tubing will, over time, take the shape
•
of the adapter, causing poor connection and possible leaks.
DO NOT submerge the ventilator or pour cleaning liquids over or into the ventilator.
