Risk of faulty Treatment
At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration
will vary, depending on the pressure delivered, the patient's breathing pattern, mask
selection and leak rate.
To monitor the oxygen concentration, use an external patient air oxygen saturation
monitoring unit which complies with ISO 80601-2-55 and is equipped with a high
oxygen level alarm.
WARNING!
Risk of fire
The presence of oxygen can speed up combustion of inflammable materials.
Risk of Fire
When oxygen is used with the Vivo 3, the oxygen flow must be turned off when the
Vivo 3 is not operating. Oxygen delivered into the patient tubing may accumulate
within the machine enclosure. Oxygen accumulated in the machine enclosure
increases the risk of fire.
Risk of Fire
Ventilate the room adequately. Do not smoke in a room where oxygen is being used.
Risk of Fire
Naked light bulbs and other sources of ignition must be kept a minimum of 2 meters
(6 feet) away from the oxygen cylinder or any part of the patient circuit.
Risk of Fire
Do not use aerosols or solvents close to the oxygen supply, even when the oxygen
supply is shut off.
CAUTION!
Supplemental oxygen flow must not exceed 30 l/min or 100 kPa.
