Patient Circuit — Warnings and Precautions
WARNING!
Risk of Insufficient Ventilation
Insufficient ventilation may cause transient hypoxia.
The Vivo 2 ventilator is intended to be used with patient circuits with intentional
leakage and compliant to ISO 17510. Recommended leak rate: 20 to 50 liters per
minute at 10 cmH
O.
2
Failure to use a mask or accessory that minimizes rebreathing of carbon dioxide or
permits spontaneous breathing can cause asphyxiation.
Risk of Abnormal Exhalation Volume Measurement
The exhaled volume of the patient can differ from the measured exhaled volume due
to unintentional leaks around the mask.
For correct measurements, minimize unintentional leaks.
Risk of Reduced Safety and Performance
Accessories that have not been tested with the Vivo 2 might affect safety features
and performance negatively. Only use the Vivo 2 with accessories approved by
Breas Medical.
Incompatible parts can result in degraded performance and change of pressure
gradient.
If unapproved accessories are used, Breas Medical has no responsibility for the safe
and effective use of the Vivo 2.
The responsible organization is responsible for ensuring the compatibility of the ven-
tilator and all parts used to connect to the patient before use.
Risk of Reduced Performance
Filters and patient connected parts must be replaced regularly to ensure correct func-
tion of the Vivo 2.
