Gas Connections and Filter

WARNING:

All oxygen connections should be carefully inspected to ensure that leaks
are not present. Excessive leaks can result in higher than normal ambient
oxygen concentrations and create a potentially hazardous oxygen-enriched
environment.

WARNING:

Worn/frayed oxygen hoses or oxygen hoses contaminated by hydrocarbon
greases or oils should not be used since an oxygen leak or intense fire
could result.

WARNING:

Care in the routing of the oxygen inlet hose should be exercised to ensure it
is not exposed to mechanisms that could cause damage by cutting or
heating/melting.

CAUTION:

The ventilator oxygen filter should be replaced annually as a part of
preventive maintenance.

NOTE:

The ventilator should only be connected to an appropriate medical
grade 100% O

gas source capable of delivering a regulated 40 to 90

PSIG (276-620 kPa).

NOTE:

The ventilator is shipped with the appropriate gas fittings and hoses for
the intended environment, i.e. DISS (U.S.A. and Canada), Ohmeda
(Germany), NIST (UK), Air Liquide (France), SIS (Australia).
