F&P Airvo 3 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 24

Fit the patient interface
Fit the patient interface to your patient following the user instructions supplied with the interface.
Take care to follow all warnings and cautions.
Connect to the patient interface
Connect the patient interface to the connector at the end of the breathing tube.
The patient may be connected to the heated breathing tube immediately. When therapy initiation
is not urgent, it is recommended to wait until the Airvo 3 plays a short melody and displays
"Therapy On" in the Message bar.
Attach the breathing tube clip to the patient's clothing.
Warnings
Do not allow the breathing tube to remain in direct contact with the patient's skin for long
periods of time to avoid the risk of burns. The healthcare professional shall assess the
conditions for safe contact, such as duration and skin condition.
Do not cover or add heat above ambient levels to any part of the breathing tube or interface
e.g. by covering with a blanket or by heating with infrared radiation, an overhead heater, or
an incubator.
Caution
Keep the heated breathing tube away from electrical monitoring leads (e.g. EEG, ECG/EKG,
EMG, pulse oximeter) to reduce the risk of interference with the signal monitored.
Note
The air may feel warm when your patient starts using the Airvo 3. This is normal. The patient
should continue to breathe normally.
