 Warnings and Cautions

• Only use the Passive Heated Breathing Circuit in combination with the MR850 Heated Humidifier from Fisher & Paykel Healthcare.
• Retain these instructions for use for future reference.
• Always connect-disconnect the tubes from the humidifier, ventilator and mask by using the grips on the cuff.
• Do not pull the tube when disengaging the tube from the humidifier, ventilator or mask.
• When using electrical products, always follow the standard safety precautions!
• Do not cover the Passive Heated Breathing Circuit with any object including a textile insulation sleeve, a plastic sleeve, a blanket, etc., in order to avoid an elevated airflow temperature that can cause irritation of the airway.
• Do not operate the Passive Heated Breathing Circuit close to other heat sources including lamps, electric blankets, etc., to avoid elevated airflow temperatures.
• Do not use the Passive Heated Breathing Circuit without airflow.
• Do not sterilize the Passive Heated Breathing Circuit.
• Do not disassemble or intentionally damage the Passive Heated Breathing Circuit.
• Do not insert or drop any object in the opening of the Passive Heated Breathing Circuit.
• Do not make the Passive Heated Breathing Circuit subject to pressure, crushing or other mechanical stresses, as it can damage the Passive Heated Breathing Circuit.
• If any tube of the Passive Heated Breathing Circuit is damaged (having holes, kinks, tears, exposed heating wires, etc.) or is not functional, do not try to repair the tube yourself. Immediately replace your Passive Heated Breathing Circuit.
• Prior to use, inspect the Passive Heated Breathing Circuit for holes, deformation or any form of damage. When damaged, replace the Passive Heated Breathing Circuit immediately.
• During use, check the Passive Heated Breathing Circuit frequently for holes, deformation or any form of damage. When damaged, replace the Passive Heated Breathing Circuit immediately.
• Do not reuse the Passive Heated Breathing Circuit. The Passive Heated Breathing Circuit is a single use product. Multiple use could lead to contamination of the product and the patient.
• The Passive Heated Breathing Circuit should always be replaced after 30 days of use.
• Do not clean the Passive Heated Breathing Circuit.
• Dispose of the tube correctly according to your local government regulation.
• This is a prescription device to be used exclusively under medical supervision.
• Patients undergoing ventilation support are particularly susceptible to airway infections. Single use devices that are not replaced within the prescribed frequency may be a potential source of infection. Proper hand hygiene (e.g. hand washing or hand disinfection) is mandatory before and after replacement of the device.
