INITIAL SET-UP
1. Install the power cord right angle connector to the receptacle on the rear of the
device. Run the cord inside of the lower cord wrap to act as a strain relief.
2. Position the unit on a suitable surface within easy reach of the patient, or the operator
of the unit. CAUTION: Position the device so that the air intake ports on the side
and rear of the unit are not blocked.
3. Assemble the patient circuit (filter, breathing hose and patient interface) as follows:
a. Attach the bacterial/viral filter to the patient port on the front panel.
b. Attach the 3-foot 22mm ID smooth bore breathing hose to the bacterial/viral filter.
c. Attach the appropriate patient interface to the breathing hose. Patient interface
options include a facemask and adapter, mouthpiece, lip seal or tracheostomy
tube adapter. (A facemask and adapter are included with each unit.)
4. Plug the power cord into
an AC grounded outlet of
appropriate voltage.
NOTE: There are no requirements regarding avoidance with other devices2.
