Usage of Oxygen

WARNING!
Always follow the oxygen provider's instructions.
As this medical device uses an alternative small-bore connector design different from
those specified in the ISO 80369 series, there is a possibility that a misconnection can
occur between this medical device and a medical device using a different alternative
small-bore connector, which can result in a hazardous situation causing harm to the
patient. Special measures need to be taken by the user to mitigate these reasonable fore-
seeable risks.
WARNING!
Risk of fire
The presence of oxygen can speed up combustion of inflammable materials.
WARNING!
Risk of faulty Treatment
At a fixed flow rate of supplemental oxygen flow, the inhaled oxygen concentration will
vary, depending on the pressure delivered, the patient's breathing pattern, the patient
interface and the leak rate.
To monitor the oxygen concentration, use the FiO sensor accessory.

WARNING!
Risk of Fire
When oxygen is used with the Vivo 65, the oxygen flow must be turned off when the
Vivo 65 is not operating. Oxygen delivered into the patient tubing may accumulate within
the machine enclosure. Oxygen accumulated in the machine enclosure increases the risk
of fire.
WARNING!
Do not use a humidifier between the oxygen source and the ventilator, in order to
humidify the oxygen flow.
If humidification is required, use a humidifier after the patient air outlet.
