Risk of Faulty Treatment
Do not use or store the Vivo 45 in a magnetic resonance (MR) environment.
Use of the Vivo 45 in an MR environment may result in malfunction of the Vivo 45
and pose unacceptable risk to the patient, medical staff or other persons.
Unsteady indicated values for delivered volumes or pressures and the occurrence of
alarm conditions without apparent cause may be an indication of loss of performance
due to electromagnetic disturbances. Follow the instructions above and the guidance
provided in 8.3 Emission and Immunity Declaration, page 152 to mitigate the effects of
electromagnetic disturbances.
CAUTION!
The ventilator, any accessories and all replaced parts, must be disposed of in accord-
ance with the local environmental regulations regarding the disposal of used equip-
ment and waste.
2.4 Usage of Patient Circuit
WARNING!
Risk of Insufficient Ventilation
Insufficient ventilation may cause transient hypoxia.
The Vivo 45 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
2
O.
Failure to use a mask or accessory that minimizes rebreathing of carbon dioxide or
permits spontaneous breathing can cause asphyxiation.
Risk of Insufficient Ventilation
Insufficient ventilation may cause transient hypoxia.
Before use:
• Make sure that the patient circuit and joined parts are undamaged and correctly
connected, in order to avoid unwanted leakage.
• Make sure that the leakage port of the circuit or mask is not blocked or obstructed.
This port prevents rebreathing by flushing the exhaled air.
• The Vivo 45 should be turned on and the function of the leakage port should be
checked before use: The pressurized air from the Vivo 45 causes a continuous
flow of air through the leakage port, enabling flushing of exhaled air.
