Do not connect to the lung ventilator any external devices NOT

If necessary, please contact SIARE or the authorised Technical Support
Service available in your area.
WARNING !! Patient injury hazard
When using additional components in the respiratory systems or
configurations unsuitable for the equipment provided with the lung
ventilator, the inspiratory and expiratory resistance might increase,
exceeding the standard requirements.
If you are using this type of configurations, pay utmost attention to the
values measured.
WARNING !! Electrical shock risk
In case of grounding cable malfunction, hooking-up other electrical devices
to the additional lung ventilator outputs might cause an increase in the
dispersion current beyond the allowed values.
The entire system must comply with the requirements for electro-medical
devices, listed on cap. 1.5 (Norms and standards regulations).
WARNING !! Risk of injury for the patient
A Nebulisation or Humidification system can increase the resistance of
breathing system filters and that the user needs to monitor the breathing
system filter frequently for increased resistance and blockage.
Please see relevant note on chapter Index.
