WARNING!
Risk of Unnoticed Critical Conditions
• All the physiological alarms of the Vivo 3 must be set at safe levels that will effec-
tively warn the user of any risk.
The alarm levels should be assessed considering the patient's treatment settings.
• Any change of treatment settings or change of components in the ventilation sys-
tem may require readjustment of the alarm levels.
• The alarm sound level should be set to a clearly audible level. Setting the alarm
sound level below that of the ambient sound level can impede recognition of
alarm conditions.
CAUTION!
Never leave a patient unattended during an alarm condition.

• The cable connected remote alarm unit provided by Breas Medical
