LTV 1200 Operator's Manual - CareFusion Emergency Preparedness

CAUTION
External Battery Pack - The External Battery Pack should only be connected to the LTV ® 1200
ventilator using the Pulmonetic Systems External Battery Cable (PN 10802). This cable is pre-wired
and properly terminated to ensure safe connection of the External Battery Pack to the ventilator.
Electrical Grounding – In the event of a loss of electrical protective ground, touching the ventilator
could result in electrical shock. To ensure grounding and avoid this danger, use only the unmodified
power cord originally supplied with the LTV ® 1200 ventilator, maintained in good condition and
connected to a properly wired and grounded electrical power outlet.
Do not cover the ventilator – To avoid damage to the ventilator, do not cover while operating or
position relative to other objects such that the operation or performance of the ventilator may be
adversely affected. Ensure that sufficient space exists around the ventilator while in use to allow free
circulation of gases.
Electrostatic Discharge – The use of electrically conductive hoses and tubing is not recommended.
The use of such materials may result in damage to the ventilator from electrostatic discharge.
External DC Power Source or External Battery - When connecting the LTV ® 1200 ventilator to an
external DC power source or external battery, use only the approved method and connectors
specified in Chapter 14 - Power and Battery Operation.
AC Power Source - When connecting the ventilator to an AC power source, use only the approved
LTV ® AC Power Adapter.
AC Power Earth Ground Validity – If the validity of the AC power earth ground connection is in
doubt, use the internal battery, an external battery, or an external DC power source to operate the
LTV ® 1200 ventilator.
Fuse Fire Hazard – Replacement of existing fuses with fuses with different voltage or electrical
current ratings may cause a fire.
Storage Temperature - Storing the LTV ® 1200 ventilator at temperatures above 60°C (140°F) for
long periods can damage the internal battery and cause expected battery duration to degrade.
Patient Assist Call Connector – Do not apply more than 25V rms or 32VDC to the Patient Assist
Call connector.
Ventilator Checkout Tests - LTV ® 1200 ventilator Checkout tests must be performed before initial
use of the ventilator. Rerun the tests whenever a question about the ventilator’s operation arises.
Release Button - To avoid damaging the ventilator or the power connector, push the release button
on the connector before removing it from the ventilator power port or the power port pigtail connector.
