WARNING: Always unplug the ventilator from the power source before opening the housing. WARNING: NEVER use anti-static or electrically conductive tubing. NOTE: To support patient and operator safety, the fabian HFO does not contain VOCs, CO, CO , and particulates emitted above hazardous thresholds.
Inspection according to manufacturer specifications is required every 12 months. • Maintenance must be performed by ACUTRONIC Medical Systems trained personnel with access to appropriate test and measuring equipment. We strongly recommend ACUTRONIC Medical Systems AG exclusive representatives for service agreements and repairs.
ACUTRONIC Medical Systems AG sales terms and delivery conditions. 2.4 Intended use The fabian HFO is intended for premature infants, new-borns as well as children weighing up to 30 kg. The fabian HFO evolution is intended for “in-patient use” in professional healthcare environment including intra-hospital patient transport.
Severe airflow obstruction, and intracranial hypertension, would contraindicate the use of the fabian HFO neonatal and infant ventilator. fabian HFO should not be used in association with HF electrosurgical equipment. In the event of ventilation for several hours or more, care must be taken for optimal conditioning of the respiratory gases (warmth, humidification) to optimize secretion mobilization and prevent damage to mucous membranes.
