Filter Usage - Warnings And Precautions - Breas Vivo 3 Clinician Manual

WARNING!
Risk of Electric Shock
Do not use antistatic or electrically conductive hoses or tubing with the ventilator
breathing system. This could result in electrical shock.
WARNING!
Risk of Cross-Contamination
Patient circuits might get contaminated by exhaled gases. To avoid cross-contamina-
tion, always use a properly cleaned or a new patient circuit when the Vivo 3 is to be
used by a new patient.
NOTE
For masks and accessories, always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
2.5 Filter Usage — Warnings and Precautions
WARNING!
Risk of Insufficient Ventilation
Insufficient ventilation may cause transient hypoxia.
Replace or clean the inlet filters as specified in the Maintenance chapter.
Using old or clogged filters may cause the Vivo 3 to operate at higher temperatures
than intended.
When operating the Vivo 3, make sure that the air inlet and filters are not obstructed
or occluded.
Risk of Insufficient Ventilation
Insufficient ventilation may cause transient hypoxia.
Do not use high resistance bacteria filter at the air outlet of the Vivo 3. High resist-
ance bacteria filters placed between the air outlet and the patient interface may inter-
fere with the operation of the patient disconnect function. It may also interfere with
the device trigger function.
Risk of Insufficient Ventilation
Nebulization or 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.
Increased resistance may interfere with the operation of the patient disconnected
function.
