Caution
• The Compressor Mini has been designed
and tested to comply with requirements
specified in electromagnetic compatibility
standard EN 60601-1-2. It is the
responsibility of the user to take necessary
measures to ensure that the EMC
environment in which the system will be
used is compatible with the requirements
of EN 60601-1-2. If limits are exceeded,
this may impair the safety of the system.
Such measures should include, but are not
limited to:
- normal precautions with regard to
relative humidity and conductive
characteristics of clothing in order to
minimize the build-up of electrostatic
charges
- restricted use of cellular phones.
• This compressor can provide only limited
flow of compressed air (30 l/min), and the
compressed air will not be dried to the
same standard as compressed medical air.
The water content and the limited air flow
may adversely affect the operation of, or
may damage, certain ventilators or other
equipment. Verify that the equipment to be
supplied by this compressor is compatible.
• Do not direct the flow of compressed air
towards the eyes or other unprotected parts
of the body.
• Federal law restricts this device to sale by
or on the order of a physician.
