Humidifier
We recommend only those humidifiers that comply with ISO 8185 for use on
the ventilator.
You should consult with the manufacturer(s) of the active humidification
system (humidifier and patient circuit components) for their most recent
recommendations regarding circuit configurations. Additionally, unless
specifically contraindicated by these manufacturers’ recommendations, we
recommend the use of a drop-down tube and water collection vial (water trap)
placed between the expiratory filter and the expiratory limb of the patient
circuit. This is necessary to prevent damage to the expiratory filter. Reference
P/N 1006241 Water Collection System, or equivalent.
CAUTION: Failure to protect the expiratory filter from damage by using inappropriate
patient circuit configurations may cause damage to delicate ventilator
components, such as the expiratory flow sensor, which may lead to
inaccurate spirometry or a Vent Inop condition.

WARNING: Use only Respironics approved cables when connecting to the remote alarm
port. Be sure to fully insert the cable into the remote alarm port and into the
remote alarm.
WARNING: When using the Remote Alarm Port, be sure to fully test the Remote Alarm
Port and cable by:
• Verifying that annunciated alarms on the ventilator are also
annunciated on the remote alarm.
• Verifying that disconnecting the cable from the Remote Alarm port
results in an alarm notification at the Remote Alarm.
• Verifying that disconnecting the cable from the remote alarm
results in an alarm notification at the Remote Alarm.
CAUTION: The remote alarm port is intended to connect only to SELV (safety extra
low voltage and ungrounded system with basic insulation to ground), in
accordance with IEC60601-1. To prevent damage to the remote alarm,
the signal input should not exceed the maximum rating of 24 VAC or 36
VDC at 500 mA with a minimum current of 1 mA.
