values and thus obstruct breathing.
• 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 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 115 V and 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 MMC or SD card to be
inserted or removed, otherwise therapy data may be lost.
Note:
• The use of accessories in the respiratory flow, such as humidifiers and 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 resistance of the ventilation system must not exceed 6 hPa at 60 l/min
for adults and 6 hPa at 30 l/min for children.
