Servicing and maintenance
•
If anything unexpected occurs, contact your ResMed representative.
•
To avoid the risk of electrocution/electrification, do not open the device casing. All procedures
should be carried out by a technician trained in the maintenance of the ventilator.
•
Before using the device for the first time, and also between patients, the accessories should
be cleaned and disinfected.
•
Faulty fuses in the power pack or on the printed circuit board must be replaced by a trained
technician. The replacement fuses must have the same specifications and standards as the
original fuses.
•
Upon request, ResMed can provide information on the methods used during production and
delivery to ensure the cleanliness of the components of the respiratory system.
Transport and storage
•
When used during indoor transport, ensure that the Elisée 350 is securely attached to its
support.
•
The ventilator must not be exposed to direct sunlight, unless it is in its ergonomic transport
bag.
•
The ventilator must not be subjected to any violent impact when it is not in its ergonomic
transport bag, nor allowed to fall.
•
The ventilator must not be turned on immediately after storage or transport in conditions
different from the recommended operating conditions.
•
In the operating theatre, we recommend connecting the ventilator to mains power as soon as
possible, so that the internal/external batteries can be recharged.
Recycling
•
In accordance with Directive 2002/96/EC concerning waste electrical and electronic
equipment, this device must be sorted and disposed of separately from other types of
rubbish. It must not be disposed of with municipal waste. To dispose of this device, use the

•
Whether new or worn out, the oxygen sensor contains toxic substances. It must be disposed
of in accordance with the applicable waste processing regulations in your region and in
accordance with local environmental legislation. Do not burn the sensor: there is a risk of toxic
smoke.
