Portable and Mobile RF Communications Equipment can affect Medical Electrical
Equipment. See the EMC section of this manual for distances to observe between RF
Generators and the ventilator to avoid interference.
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six inches be maintained between a wireless phone and a pacemaker
to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
Maintenance Never operate the device if any parts are damaged or if it is not working properly.
Replace damaged parts before continuing use.
Periodically inspect electrical cords, cables, tubing, and accessories for damage or
signs of wear. Discontinue use and replace if damaged.
Cleaning To avoid electrical shock, always unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and/or
external power supply module before cleaning the device.
Do not immerse the device in any fluids or spray the device with water or cleaners.

Humidifier
For safe operation when using a humidifier, the humidifier must always be positioned
below the breathing circuit connection at the mask. The humidifier must be level for
proper operation.
Humidification Humidification can increase the resistance of breathing system filters, and the
operator must monitor the breathing system filter frequently for increased resistance
and blockage to ensure the delivery of the therapeutic pressure. If the device is used
invasively, a separate external humidifer is required.
