Patient Circuit - Warnings And Precautions - Breas Vivo 3 User Manual

Risk of Faulty Treatment
Do not use or store the Vivo 3 in a magnetic resonance (MR) environment.
Use of the Vivo 3 in an MR environment may result in malfunction of the Vivo 3 and
pose unacceptable risk to the patient, medical staff or other persons.

agents present.
WARNING!
Risk of Electric Shock
Water on and in the device may cause an electric conductive path.

waste.
2.4 Patient Circuit — Warnings and Precautions
WARNING!
Risk of Insufficient Ventilation
Insufficient ventilation may cause transient hypoxia.
The Vivo 3 ventilator is intended to be used with patient circuits with intentional leakage
and compliant to ISO 17510. Recommended leak rate: 20 to 50 liters per minute at
10 cmH
Failure to use a mask or accessory that minimizes rebreathing of carbon dioxide or per-
mits spontaneous breathing can cause asphyxiation.
Risk of Abnormal Exhalation Volume Measurement
Non-invasive ventilation: The exhaled volume of the patient can differ from the meas-
ured exhaled volume due to unintentional leaks around the mask.
Invasive ventilation: The exhaled volume of the patient can differ from the measured
exhaled volume due to unintentional leaks around the cannula.
For correct measurements, minimize unintentional leaks.
Doc. 007231 F-3
Do not use the ventilator while positioned in a warm place, such as direct sunlight
or close to a radiator as this might lead to temperature outside the specifications.
Do not use the ventilator in an hyperbaric chamber, as this would cause an ambient
pressure outside the specifications.
Do not use the ventilator immediately after storage or transport outside the recom-
mended operating conditions.
