•
To prevent the risk of fire, keep the lung ventilator and/or the oxygen tubes
away from matches, lit cigarettes and inflammable material, such as
anaesthetic gases and/or sources of heat.
•
Do not connect the lung ventilator to the patient by flexible connectors, and
antistatic or conductive tubes to prevent patient burnings during the use of
high frequency surgical equipment, especially dangerous with antistatic
tubes. The use of flexible connectors, antistatic or conductive tube is never
permitted with lung ventilator.
•
Do not use worn and consumed tubes or tubes contaminated by flammable
substances like grease or oil to deliver oxygen; (fabrics, oil and other fuels
can easily ignite and they intensively burn in air with high concentration of
oxygen.
•
In the event of fire or an unpleasant smell (e.g. a smell of burning), the lung
ventilator should immediately be disconnected from the electrical power
supply and from the battery (if fitted).
•
When coming into contact with any component of the lung ventilator, the
hospital procedures for the handling of infected material should always be
respected.
•
SIARE is aware that cleaning, sterilisation and disinfection procedures vary
considerably from one health structure to another. SIARE cannot be held
responsible for the efficacy of the cleaning and sterilisation procedures, nor
for the other procedures carried out while the patient is being treated. As
regards cleaning, sterilisation and disinfection of the product components, it
is therefore recommended that the regulations currently in force in the
country where the lung ventilator is installed be taken into consideration.
•
The lung ventilator was not designed as a total monitoring device: some
conditions of danger for the patients treated with vital support equipment will
not trigger any alarm.
•
Before using the lung ventilator or any connected component, carefully check
that the lung ventilator is functioning correctly; when needed, the preliminary
tests must be performed as described in the present manual.
•
Do not use pointed instruments, such as pencils, screwdrivers or the like to
make selections or settings as they could damage the surface of the LCD
panel.
•
Check the lung ventilator periodically as described in the relative
"Maintenance" chapter and do not use it if it is faulty or malfunctioning.
Replace any broken, missing, obviously worn, deformed or contaminated
parts immediately, with spare parts supplied by SIARE.
•
Do not connect external devices NOT manufactured or NOT authorized by
SIARE to the lung ventilator (example: scavenging systems, patient
simulators, etc.....), and not described in the present user's manual: in case
of need contact SIARE.
