CAUTION!
Supplemental oxygen is added before the volume measurement sensor and thereby
included in the measurements. However, the oxygen concentration still has influence on
the volume measurement of the delivered air.
This measurement is based on a normal oxygen concentration of 21%. If the oxygen
concentration is higher, the actual inspired volume will deviate from the monitored vol-
ume as follows:

This section applies if using the Vivo 3 during transit, for example on a wheel chair or in a
car.
20 Safety Information
User Manual
Turn the oxygen supply off when the ventilator is not delivering treatment. Oxygen
may otherwise accumulate in the enclosure and increase .the risk of fire.
When the oxygen supply is turned on, never leave the patient interface on textiles
like bed coverings or chair cushions. The oxygen enrichment will make the materi-
als more flammable.
Use only water-based lotions or salves that are oxygen-compatible before and dur-
ing oxygen therapy. Never use petroleum-based or oil-based lotions or salves, to
avoid the risk of fire and burns.
Covering breathing tubes with a blanket or heating them with an overhead heater
can affect the quality of the therapy or injure the patient.
Ventilate the room adequately.
Do not smoke in a room where oxygen is being used, it may result in facial burns
or death. If the patient intends to smoke: turn the equipment off, remove the
patient interface and leave the room where the equipment is located before smok-
ing. If unable to leave the room, wait 10 minutes after you have turned the equip-
ment off.
Naked light bulbs, open flames and other sources of ignition must be kept a mini-
mum of 2 meters (6 feet) away from the oxygen cylinder or any oxygen carrying
parts and accessories.
Do not use aerosols or solvents close to the oxygen supply, even when the oxygen
supply is shut off.
Do not lubricate fittings, connections, tubing, or other accessories of the equip-
ment as the lubrication might be flammable in combination with the oxygen rich
gas flow.
40% oxygen concentration: -2.5% deviation
60% oxygen concentration: -5% deviation
80% oxygen concentration: -7.5% deviation
