• Clean, dry, medical grade gas sources supplied at 31 to 75 psi (303.6 – 517.4 kPa) unrestricted flow
must be used at all times to assure proper operation of the CROSSVENT Ventilator.
air/oxygen blender is used, then 45 – 75 PSI (310 – 517 kPa) should be supplied to the blender.
• The CROSSVENT should not be steam or gas sterilized as this will result in damage to some of its
components.
• Connect the oxygen sensor (optional) upstream of the humidifier since the fuel cell functions better
in non-humidified gas.
• Touchscreen control keys should be pressed by hand only. Care should be taken not to allow keys
to be contacted by sharp objects as damage may result.
• Clean touchscreen only with alcohol. Clean the rest of the CROSSVENT unit with mild, non-
abrasive, anti-bacterial cleanser.
• Do not place liquids on or near the CROSSVENT.
damage and malfunction.
• It is recommended that the CROSSVENT never be left with its battery discharged as this will
reduce battery life. After discharge of the battery, recharge fully before disconnecting the plug-in
power supply.
• Only replace the battery pack with Bio-Med Devices part #PRT4467. Do not substitute. The cells
are non-standard high capacity.
• When using an AC power source, only the power supply provided with the Crossvent is approved
for use with this ventilator.
operation (see Appendix F).
• Any more comprehensive DC power supply than that which is supplied must be short circuit
protected and must comply with all of the specifications and standards as listed in Section III, Part
B.
• Do not use in a MRI room.
• Antistatic or electrically conductive hoses or tubing should not be used.
• When it is necessary to operate the Crossvent from an AC inverter, only inverters in compliance
with NEMA standards should be used (see Appendix F).
• Prior to turning the unit on for the first time, the battery must be charged fully using the included
power supply.
• Do not apply tension to the flow sensor tubing. Do not allow the sensor to be in the patient circuit
but not connected to the ventilator when ventilating.
• Do not allow the temperature of the battery to go above 131° F (55° C) whether the unit is on or
off as this may cause damage resulting in a shorter life expectancy of the battery.
