e500 User Manual
(15PL1011 - Rev.7 6_6_2017) English version
Do not use the external electrical power supply outdoors as moisture may
affect its function.
Do not contact the connector from the power supply and the patient
simultaneously.
The performance of this ventilator may be affected if used around
portable and mobile RF telecommunication devices (cell phones) within
the minimum distance specified in section 9.5 of this user manual.
Intake port on the patient valve must be left unobstructed for proper
function & safety.
When using a bacterial filter or HME (Heat Moisture Exchanger) connect
the bacterial filter or HME to the patient connection between the elbow
and the endotracheal tube or face mask, note that this action will increase
the dead space. Bacterial filters or HME may increase breathing
resistances.
Use pressure regulators maintaining a minimum output flow of 120 L/min
at a dynamic pressure of 45 PSI to ensure the proper functioning of the
ventilator.
Operation of this ventilator outside the environmental condition range
specified in this manual may result in reduction and or failure in the
ventilator’s performance. In extreme temperature conditions the effect is
not noticeable in terms of delivered ventilations but may cause excessive
wear in ventilator or components over time. Extreme low temperature
reduces operation time of the battery (Refer to 9.4 battery operating
Time).
Operation of this ventilator outside the supply pressures range detailed in
this manual may result in reduction in the ventilator’s performance,
component failure, low pressure alarm or possible loss of automatic
cycling.
Operation of this ventilator outside the electrical power range detailed in
this manual may result in reduction or failure in the ventilator’s
performance. Component failure, inadequate power of internal
components may occur.
Operation of this ventilator below sea level or above 4,000 m (13,000
feet) may result in reduction or failure in the ventilator’s performance, low
pressure alarm or possible loss of automatic cycling.
The ventilator is intended for use in the prehospital, intrahospital,
interhospital and ground transport environments only.
Connecting the patient circuit to a patient prior to turning on the
ventilator may cause a calibration error.
