Duration of operation between humidifier refills
Humidifier level (5): 12 hours. At lower settings, the duration will be longer.
CAUTION!
• The water chamber must be detached from the Vivo 3 when filling water into the
water chamber.
• Use only distilled or sterilized water or boiled, chilled tap water in the humidifier
water chamber. This is to reduce bacteria and mineral deposits.
• Do not fill the water chamber with hot water.
• Do not overfill the water chamber. The water chamber has a capacity of 350 ml
and the maximum filling level is indicated on the chamber.
• After using the ventilator, wait one minute before you open the water chamber
since it can get hot under certain conditions (for example if the humidifier runs
out of water).
1 Detach the water chamber, see above.
2 Make sure the water meets the quality requirements. It shall be either:
• Distilled
• Sterilized
• Boiled and chilled tap water.
3 Hold the humidifier with the air
path openings (a) up and fill water
into either of the air path openings.
