NOTE: All volumes entered into the ventilator are assumed to be BTPS (Body
Temperature atmospheric Pressure Saturated (with H
2
O)) volumes
unless otherwise noted. All volumes reported by the ventilator are
reported as BTPS volumes. All pressures are assumed to be relative to
atmospheric pressure unless otherwise noted.
NOTE:
The Air Inlet Filter houses a reusable foam filter that should be
periodically cleaned. Refer to Chapter 10, “Care and
Maintenance”, for more information on filter changes.
WARNING: To avoid electrical shock hazard, connect the ventilator to a properly
grounded AC power outlet.
CAUTION: Before connecting the ventilator to the AC power source, ensure that the
total electrical load does not exceed the ampere rating of the AC branch
circuit, especially when using the ventilator with other electrical
equipment. An AC branch circuit includes all outlets serviced by a
single circuit breaker. If the maximum current drain through a branch
circuit exceeds the circuit breaker’s rating, the branch circuit will open,
causing the ventilator to lose power. For further information, consult a
service technician or a trained biomedical technician.
CAUTION: The ventilator is shipped with a power cord that complies with electrical
safety standards. Do not use substitute power cords unless specifically
instructed to do so by an authorized distributor or qualified personnel.
Do not modify the power cord or connect it with electrical extension
cords or outlet adapters.
