ResMed Elisee 350 Clinical Manual page 8

Power supply
•
Do not use the ventilator if either the power cord or the mains power pack is damaged.
•
If there is interference on the electrical network, operate the ventilator on battery power.
•
Use the specific power cord and the mains power pack supplied with the ventilator. The use
of other mains power supplies may result in a risk to the patient.
•
ResMed does not guarantee the operation of the ventilator when powered by a wheelchair
battery.
•
Do not plug the ventilator into a multi-socket plug board or an extension cord.
•
When the ventilator has been disconnected from mains power and stored for an extended
period of time, the backup battery will discharge. If the "ADJUST CLOCK" alarm is triggered
when the ventilator is turned on, the battery must be recharged by connecting to mains
power.
Oxygen
•
We recommend that you disconnect the oxygen supply when the ventilator is in standby
mode or turned off.
•
Do not try to open or pierce the oxygen sensor.
•
As the use of oxygen at high concentration may have physiological effects on the patient, it is
imperative that you follow the instructions given by the attending physician.
Electromagnetic compatibility
•
The user must ensure that the operation of the ventilator is not impaired by the concurrent
use of devices such as defibrillators or diathermy, electrosurgical or radiology equipment or
mobile phones.
•
The ventilator may be affected by electromagnetic fields greater than 10 V/m.
•
The use of accessories and power cords other than those specified may increase emissions
from the ventilator or decrease its immunity.
•
Precautions must be taken for the ventilator and its accessories with regard to
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC); they must be installed and put into service in
accordance with the information provided in this manual, in particular the information given in
"Electromagnetic emissions and immunity" on page 98.
Technical specifications
•
The pressure in the ventilator will not be lower than atmospheric pressure during the
expiratory phase.
•
The design of the ventilator and the properties of the motor ensure that the maximum
pressure delivered by the ventilator cannot exceed 100 cm H
•
The design of the ventilator ensures that, if the device were to stop, the patient would be able
to breathe spontaneously and would not rebreathe exhaled air.
•
In the event of turbine failure, the ventilator cannot be used even if a high-pressure oxygen
supply is connected.
•
In order to limit the rebreathing of exhaled air when the ventilator stops, the partial closure of
the rotary slide valve ensures that the exhaled air passes through the expiratory valve of the
expiratory limb rather than through the inspiratory limb.
