Puritan Bennett 560 Ventilator User's Manual - Covidien

Safety Information
The oxygen supply must be shut off when ventilation is interrupted. Before disconnecting the
oxygen hose, allow the ventilator to continue for a few cycles without oxygen to flush the
patient circuit of excess oxygen.
Before connecting the oxygen supply, ensure that the stud on the oxygen connector is
protruding outwards.
Inspect the oxygen coupler before use to ensure it has its black O-ring attached and in good
condition. Do not use an oxygen coupler with a missing, damaged, or worn O-ring.
Warnings Regarding Electromagnetic Interference
The Puritan Bennett 560 requires special precautions for electromagnetic compatibility and
should be installed and started according to the recommendations found in Appendix A,
“Specifications.” In particular, the use of nearby mobile and portable communications equipment
using radio frequencies, such as mobile telephones or other systems exceeding the levels set in
the IEC 60601-1-2 standard, may affect its operation. Refer to section A.10, “Manufacturer’s
Declaration”.
The use of any accessory other than those specified, with the exception of the power supplies or
cables sold by Covidien, may lead to an increase in electromagnetic emissions or a decrease in
the equipment protection against electromagnetic emissions. If the ventilator is used adjacent to
such accessories or stacked with such devices, the ventilator’s performance should be monitored
to verify normal operation.
