2.2 Electrical Safety
WARNING!
Risk of Electric Shock
High voltage contact may cause cardiac arrhythmia.
• Do not operate the Vivo 65 if it has a damaged power cord, power supply or
casing.
• To avoid electrical shock, only clean the Vivo 65 according to instructions in this
manual. Do not soak or immerse the Vivo 65 into any fluids.
• Do not use more than one multiple portable socket-outlet or extension cord.
If a multiple portable socket-outlet is used, it must not be placed on the floor.
• The operator must not touch accessible contacts of connectors and the patient
simultaneously.
• Nurse Call must only be connected to a safety extra low voltage system with an iso-
lation from AC power (Mains) voltage which complies with the requirements of
IEC 60601-1.
WARNING!
Risk of Faulty Treatment
Electromagnetic Interference may cause electrical equipment to malfunction.
• The aspects of electromagnetic compatibility must be considered.
• The Vivo 65 should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment; if
adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the Vivo 65 should be observed to verify
normal operation in that configuration.
• Mobile or transportable radio transmitters may interfere with the Vivo 65.
• Further guidance for safe installation of the ventilator can be found in the chap-
ter about emission and immunity declaration.
• If a portable AC power supply is used, make sure that the voltage variations are
within the operating limits of the Vivo 65.
• Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna
cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to
any part of the Vivo 65, including cables specified. Otherwise, degradation of the
performance of this equipment could result.
Use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified or provided by
Breas could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic
immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.
2.3 Environmental Conditions
WARNING!
Risk of Intoxication
Do not use the Vivo 65 in a toxic environment.
