Operating

The device may only be operated at temperatures between 5˚ C and

and Storage

40˚ C (41˚ F and 104˚ F).

Temperatures

Do not operate the device in direct sunlight or near a heating

 

appliance because these conditions can increase the temperature of

 

the airflow delivered to the patient.

 

Prolonged operation or storage at elevated temperatures may reduce

 

the service life of the battery and other internal components of the

 

ventilator.

 

The ventilator has an internal and detachable Lithium-Ion Battery. Do

 

not expose the device or detachable battery to temperatures above

 

40˚ C (104˚ F) during use, or above 60˚ C (140˚ F) during storage. This

 

will reduce battery life and may increase the risk of fire or damage the

 

battery.

Condensation

Condensation may affect operation or accuracy of the device. If the

 

device has been exposed to either very hot or very cold temperatures

 

during storage, allow it to adjust to ambient temperature before

 

starting therapy.

Air Filter

The reusable foam inlet filter is required to protect the ventilator from

 

dirt and dust. Wash periodically and replace when damaged for proper

 

operation.

Cooling Air Vents

Do not block the cooling air vents located on the base and the rear

 

of the device. This may cause the device to overheat in high ambient

 

temperatures or at high therapy settings.

Battery Life

The internal and detachable batteries wear out based on the amount

 

of use (hours or full charge-discharge cycles). The battery capacity and

 

life are also reduced by operation at higher temperatures.

Detachable Battery

Only use the Philips Respironics Trilogy Detachable Battery with the

 

ventilator.

Cleaning

Do not steam autoclave the ventilator. Doing so will destroy the

 

ventilator.

 

Do not immerse the device in liquid or allow any liquid to enter the

 

enclosure or inlet filter.

 

Do not spray water or any other solutions directly onto the ventilator.

 

Do not use harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners, or brushes to clean the

 

ventilator system. Use only cleaning agents and methods listed in this

 

manual.
