WARNING:

AC power is applied to the humidifier from the ventilator humidifier outlet
(only available on 100-120 VAC ventilators). Under no circumstances does
the Respironics V200 Ventilator provide control for the humidifier. To ensure
patient safety, it is important that any humidifier used with the ventilator
include an acceptable temperature control and monitoring mechanism, as
well as a temperature display and appropriate alarm capabilities (refer to
ISO 8185).
