CAUTION!
The ventilator, any accessories and all replaced parts, must be disposed of in accordance
with the local environmental regulations regarding the disposal of used equipment and
waste.
The performance of the Vivo 65 and treatment of the patient may deteriorate if the oper-
ation conditions in 8.2.4.2 Environmental Conditions, page 136 are not fulfilled. Do not use
the Vivo 65 immediately after storage or transport outside the recommended operating
conditions.
2.4 Usage of Patient Circuit
WARNING!
For the ventilator to deliver treatment according to settings, it is important that the selec-
tion of the patient circuit type (see 5.2.2 Symbols Used in the Menu, page 45)is correctly set.
Only use the Vivo 65 with accessories recommended by Breas Medical.
The pressurized air from the ventilator causes a continuous flow of air to exhaust from
the leakage ports or exhalation valve, flushing exhaled gas from the circuit. If having a
patient circuit with leakage port, the ventilator should be turned on and the function of
the leakage port should be checked before use. The ventilator should be turned on and
the function of the leakage port or exhalation valve should be checked before use.
Do not breathe in the connected patient circuit unless the Vivo 65 is turned on and oper-
ating properly.
WARNING!
Risk of Electric Shock
Do not use antistatic or electrically conductive hoses or tubing with the ventilator breath-
ing system. This could result in electrical shock.
WARNING!
Always make sure that the patient circuit and joined parts are undamaged and correctly
connected, in order to avoid unwanted leakage.
Always perform a pre-use test when the patient circuit or insert is replaced or modified.
Patient connected parts and all filters must be replaced regularly to ensure correct func-
tion of the ventilator. All replaced parts must be disposed of according to local environ-
mental regulations regarding the disposal of used equipment and parts.
