GENERAL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

Please review all warnings and cautions in this manual before attempting to service the
ventilator. Warnings and Cautions appear throughout this manual where they are relevant. The
Warnings and Cautions listed here apply generally any time the ventilator is serviced.
CAUTIONS
Do not place liquids on or near the ventilator.
Damage can occur if the HT70 is exposed to extreme temperatures. Do not store the HT70 in
areas where it may expose to temperatures below -40° C (-40° F) or above 65° C (149° F).
All service and repairs performed on the HT70 must be done by an authorized Newport Medical
factory-trained technician.
Clean and decontaminate all external parts of the HT70 prior to performing any service.
Prior to performing any type of service, disconnect the HT70 from external power.
Use standard ESD protection techniques while servicing or handling any electronics parts.
WARNINGS
This manual excludes references to various hazards which are obvious to medical professionals
and operators of this equipment including consequences of product misuse, and potential
adverse effects in patients with abnormal conditions.
Product modification or misuse can be dangerous. Newport Medical Instruments, Inc. disclaims
all liability for the consequences of product alterations or modifications, as well as for the
consequences which might result from the combination of this ventilator with other products,
whether supplied by Newport Medical or by other manufacturers, unless such a combination
has been specifically endorsed by Newport Medical.
There is a risk of explosion if used in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
All settings and adjustments in the different ventilation modes must be made in accordance with
a physician s prescribed therapy.
Adding attachments or other components or sub-assemblies to the ventilator breathing system
can increase the pressure gradient across the ventilator breathing system, measured with
respect to the patient connection port.
Newport Medical cannot warrant or endorse the safe performance of third party humidifiers for
use with the HT70.
Do not use electrically conductive patient circuits.
Always use a clean and dry patient circuit.
Do not block the Emergency Gas Intake or the Fresh Gas Intake Port.
Ensure the air inlet filter is inspected and changed regularly.

Always use an inline filter (P/N: HT6004701 or equivalent) at the Airway Pressure Connector to
protect the internal transducers from moisture or other contaminants.
Always use appropriate patient monitors (such as pulse oximeter and/or capnograph) to ensure
sufficient oxygenation and ventilation when the HT70 Ventilator is in use on a patient.
The optional Air/Oxygen Entrainment Mixer is designed to operate with medical grade oxygen.
Ensure the oxygen source is not empty before and during the use of the optional Air/Oxygen
Entrainment Mixer or Oxygen Blending Bag Kit.
When the optional Air/Oxygen Mixer is secured in place, ensure that the oxygen supply is
enabled prior to powering on the HT70 to avoid putting unnecessary stress on the internal
pump and compromising gas delivery to the patient.
Continuous oxygen monitoring is required for patient safety. The optional built-in Oxygen
Monitoring System on the HT70 includes both High and Low FiO2 alarms which can be used to
assure proper oxygen delivery.
The ventilator is ready for operation only when:

a) It is completely assembled.
b) The Quick Check Procedure including the Circuit Check (Section 4, HT70 Operating
Manual) or the Operational Verification Procedure (OVP) has been successfully
completed.
Constant attention by qualified medical personnel or trained caregiver is required whenever a

patient is connected to a ventilator.
When the HT70 is used in homecare environments, proper education and training of the
appointed caregiver must be provided by the dispensing healthcare facility or the Durable
Medical Equipment (DME) provider prior to the patient leaving the healthcare facility.
If a fault is detected in the ventilator and the life support functions are in doubt, immediately
discontinue use of the ventilator. Change to an alternative method of ventilation until the fault
has been corrected. Contact the dispensing healthcare facility or Durable Medical Equipment
(DME) provider immediately.
Always ensure that the caregiver can hear the audible alert when the alarm sounds. Do not use
the ventilator in an environment where the audible alarms cannot be heard by the caregivers
when set at the maximum volume.
Failure to identify and correct alarm violations may result in patient injury.
When oxygen is in use, oxygen monitoring is required for patient safety.
The primary Power Pac battery should be replaced every 24 months (from the date of purchase)
or sooner if the usage time no longer meets the requirements of the user, whichever comes
sooner. This battery performance will depend on a number of factors including the patient
settings and usage patterns.
The HT70 is life support equipment. As with all life support equipment, an appropriate alternate
power source and means of ventilation should be readily available in case of a mechanical or
system failure.

When the HT70 is used for transport applications, ensure that the Power Pac battery is fully
charged prior to use. The Power Pac battery requires a constant charge of at least three (3)
hours to achieve a 100% full charge.
The transport of patients using the HT70 requires the medical staff to have a good working
knowledge of the ventilator use and problem resolution. Ensure proper emergency backup
equipment is readily available during transport.
When the Battery Empty audible alarm sounds, only a limited time of internal battery power
remains and an alternate power source should be found immediately.
Always plug the HT70 into an external power supply source when not in use to ensure the best
battery performance. Check the battery capacity on the front panel before disconnecting from
external power.
Verify the green External Power LED activates when the HT70 is connected to an external AC
or DC power source.
Only use the Newport Medical supplied AC Power Supply (P/N: PWR3204P) with the HT70
ventilator.
To maintain grounding integrity, ensure the HT70 power cord is attached to a known good
receptacle with a secure connection.
Always disconnect the external power supply prior to servicing.
The functioning of this machine may be adversely affected by the operation of equipment, such
as high frequency surgical (diathermy) equipment, defibrillators or short-wave therapy
equipment in the vicinity.
This device has undergone EMC testing and found to be in conformance with IEC 60601-1-
2:2001 and meets the requirements of CISPR11:2004 (Class B), IEC 61000-3-2:2006, and IEC
61000-3-3:1995 +A1:2001 +A2:2005. These requirements are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a typical medical installation, as well as in
homecare environments. The equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with these instructions, may cause
harmful interference to other devices in the vicinity. However, there is no guarantee that

SECTION 3: THEORY OF OPERATION

Device Description
The Newport HT70 ventilator is a state of the art ventilator that combines ruggedness,
exceptional portability and ease of use with clinical proficiency to provide ventilatory support for
infant, pediatric and adult patients. The HT70 is built for hard work with a durable polymer
exterior and robust overall design that stands up to the harsh environments found in the world of
emergency response, transport and homecare ventilation.
The unique design of the HT70 provides maximum mobility and safety for short or long distance
transport of critically ill patients and for patients to enjoy their normal activities of daily life. This
exceptional mobility is derived from two sources: the patented, power conserving dual-micro-
piston technology which eliminates the need for an external compressed gas source, and the
Integrated Battery System which allows virtually continuous use from battery power through hot-
swappable technology.
The Integrated Battery System consists of two independent but coordinated Lithium ion
batteries the Power Pac battery, located on the back of the ventilator, and, the Backup
Battery, located inside the HT70. When new and fully charged, the Integrated Battery System
can provide up to 10 hours of operation at standard settings.
The Backup Battery maintains operation without interruption when the Power Pac is swapped
out and also provides a minimum of 30 minutes operation when all other power sources are
depleted.
The HT70 may be operated from the following power sources: A.C. (100-240 VAC @ 50 / 60),
D.C. (12-24 VDC) external power source, HT70 Integrated Battery System, or the optional D.C.
Auto Lighter Power Adapter accessory which enables connection to an automobile-type D.C.
outlet.
All controls are easily found on the front touch screen and panel. There are no complicated
menus or difficult sequences to follow in order to make necessary adjustments for common
operations.
The compact lightweight HT70 ventilator incorporates powerful clinical capability for both
invasive and non-invasive applications. The dual micro-piston ability to deliver variable flow
enables the HT70 to provide a full range of operating modes and breath types with servo-
controlled, leak-compensated PEEP.
The HT70 provides monitoring of inspiratory tidal volume (every breath), inspiratory minute
volume, total respiratory rate, peak pressure, mean pressure and baseline (PEEP) pressure.
A comprehensive alarm system is built-in to alert the user to violations of user-set or ventilator
set safety limits. An optional built-in oxygen monitor with high and low FiO2 alarms may be
added.
Gas delivery to the patient may be enriched with oxygen (.21-1.00) using either the optional Low
Flow Oxygen Reservoir or high pressure entrainment mixer.
The HT70 has been tested for and meets the requirements for use in a medical evacuation
helicopter and fixed wing transport.

Functional Subsystems Overview

Pneumatics System
The Newport HT70 pneumatics system consists of three subsystems: gas delivery, exhalation
control, and safety. The gas delivery subsystem drives the movement of air into the lungs of the
patient by converting electrical energy into positive air pressure. The exhalation control
subsystem changes the breathing cycle from inspiration to expiration and provides positive end
expiratory pressure (PEEP). The safety subsystem protects the patient by preventing high
pressure and providing a capability to breathe in ambient air in the case of a potential failure of
the ventilator. In addition, the safety subsystem is used to measure the air pressure
requirements for ventilator safety, control, and monitoring. Refer to the section 8:
Diagram 8.1 Pneumatics System Diagram.
Gas Delivery Subsystem
The gas delivery subsystem draws in air through the cover and inlet filter on the right-hand side
of the ventilator. The semi-transparent cover allows the user to directly view the condition of the
filter cover to allow for periodic replacement of the inlet filter. The air continues into the muffler,
to reach the inlet side of the pump.
The HT70 does not require a gas source unless oxygen (O2) enrichment is desired. For oxygen
enrichment, an optional oxygen mixer or low flow oxygen adapter kit may be used. Both items
connect to the air intake filter cover and allow the manual adjustment of oxygen enrichment from
21% to 100%. The low flow oxygen adapter provides a low flow of oxygen up to 10 L/min.
Exhalation Valve Control Subsystem
The exhalation valve control subsystem connects within the manifold at the outlet port of the air
delivery section. During inspiration, the expiratory valve control circuit actuates the exhalation
control On/Off valve to pressurize the exhalation valve drive line. When Positive End-Expiratory
Pressure (PEEP) is required, the exhalation control proportional solenoid valve applies pressure
to the exhalation valve diaphragm, provides resistance to the expiratory flow, and maintains the
patient airway pressure at a set level.
Safety Subsystem
The mechanical relief valve provides the primary high pressure relief
function which opens at a pressure of 100 cmH2O. The safety valve
provides secondary high pressure relief function by actuating whenever
the pressure exceeds 120 cmH2O. In the event of a pump failure, the
safety system allows the patient to draw ambient air into the breathing
circuit through the emergency intake valve and exhale through the
exhalation valve. If an occlusion blocks the circuit for greater than 10
seconds, the safety valve opens and relieves pressure in the patient
circuit.

Electronics System
The microprocessor-based design incorporates a Graphical User Interface (GUI), a Single
Board Computer (SBC), and the electronics to control the motor/pump, power management,
and safety functions of the HT70.
Refer to section 8: Diagram 8.2 Electronics System Diagram.
Graphical User Interface (GUI) Subsystem
The Graphical User Interface (GUI) consists of a Touch Screen LCD display, membrane panels
with embedded discrete Light Emitting Diodes (LED), Display Board, Single Board Computer
(SBC) and Main Control Board, and supporting electronics. Refer to the Diagram 3.3. Graphical
User Interface
The touch screen overlays the LCD display and the modes and functions are shown on the LCD
display. The user can select or change these parameters by pressing the soft keys shown on
the LCD display.
The HT70 powers up into a standby condition, in which, there is no patient ventilation occurring.
Upon completion of programming the patient settings while in the standby mode, the user can
begin patient ventilation by pressing the Start Ventilation soft key displayed on the LCD.
The membrane keys and the LEDs are controlled by the microcontroller on the SBC board.

Safety Subsystem
The HT70 can be brought to a safe state by the SBC microprocessor or independently by
discrete hardware. The alarm system is comprised of two separate alarms for clinical alerts and
hardware faults. The clinical alarm uses dual speakers and is controlled by the SBC
microprocessor. The hardware fault alarm uses a piezo buzzer to indicate a Device Alert alarm
to force the system into a safe state.
The remote alarm circuit is implemented with a software configurable set/reset relay which
configures the nurse call for either a normally open or normally closed system. The relay is
energized to the no alarm condition and de-energized to the alarm condition to ensure that
nurse call is activated on loss of power.
Upon alarm activation, the software monitors the status of the signal to ensure the speaker is
active. The device alert alarm uses a high reliability piezo buzzer powered by a super capacitor
to provide an alarm for a minimum of two minutes at the detection of power loss. In addition to
the audible alarms, the HT70 has dual LED indicators on the handle to visually display the
alarms. When a high priority alarm is active, both LED indicators flash red. When a medium
priority alarm is active, the red and yellow LED indicators both flash. When a low priority alarm
is active, the LED indicators flash yellow.
To prevent the accidental shut down of the HT70, the safety subsystem uses an intelligent
On/Off momentary contact switch. Upon confirmation from the user by pressing the Accept
membrane button, software shuts down the system and triggers an alarm. Press the Alarm
Silence membrane button to silence the alarm. Refer to Diagram 3.5. Safety Subsystem

Power Management Subsystem
The HT70 draws power from three sources: external power, Power Pac, and Backup Battery.
External power to the HT70 is supplied through the Power Pac , The Power Pac electronics
arbitrates the power source and sends the data to the Main Control board. The established
power precedence is external power, Power Pac, and backup battery.
The Power Pac battery assembly slides and latches onto the HT70 and allows for easy removal
when swapping the Power Pac is required. When swapping the Power Pac, the HT70 is
powered from the Backup Battery.
The HT70 Backup Battery is mounted internally and cannot be swapped by the user. The
Backup Battery contains the battery gas gauge and battery cells. The battery charge
electronics is located on the Main Control Board. Refer to Diagram 3.6. Power Management
Subsystem Diagram.
The HT70 Integrated Battery System is charged when connected to an external power source
even while the ventilator is in use.

Ventilation Functions Overview

Modes of Ventilation
A/CMV Mode
(Assist/Control Mandatory Ventilation)
In A/CMV mode, time activated (mandatory) breaths are delivered in accordance with the RR
setting. Patients can trigger mandatory breaths in addition to, or in place of, time activated
(mandatory) breaths if the effort they generate causes airway pressure to meet the Ptrig setting.
Every such patient effort results in a mandatory breath. The breath can be volume or pressure
controlled. PEEP/CPAP may be added. In Pressure Control, tidal volume is determined by the
target pressure, i-Time, and patient respiratory mechanics and in Volume Control, by the tidal
volume setting.
SIMV Mode
(Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation)
In SIMV mode, patients receive a fixed number of volume or pressure controlled mandatory
breaths (time or patient activated) and may breathe spontaneously between mandatory breaths,
with or without pressure support (Psupport). PEEP/CPAP may be added.
The first patient triggered breath in any mandatory breath interval will be a patient triggered
mandatory breath. The patient has the rest of the interval to breathe spontaneously. If the
patient does not trigger the ventilator, and one complete mandatory breath interval has elapsed,
a time triggered mandatory breath is delivered.
A mandatory breath lockout interval is activated whenever the patient triggers a mandatory
breath. This limits the number of mandatory breaths (time triggered or patient triggered) the
patient receives in 60 seconds to the RR (b/min) setting.
SPONT Mode
(Spontaneous Ventilation)
In SPONT mode, mandatory breaths are not delivered but the user can adjust both PEEP/CPAP
and pressure support (Psupport) levels. The patient has control over each breath.
When PEEP/CPAP is set above 0, the ventilator mode is CPAP (without Psupport) or Bi-level
Positive Airway Pressure (with Psupport). Ensure that Ptrig is set so the HT70 detects all
spontaneous patient efforts.
Entries for tidal volume, respiratory rate, i time and Low Paw alarm limit are all inactive in
SPONT mode. However, users can preset these parameters for future A/CMV or SIMV
operation. As with all HT70 operating modes, Backup Ventilation is activated if the BUV linked
alarm is violated.
NIV
(Non Invasive Ventilation)
The HT70 can be used for noninvasive ventilation in all modes. Press the NIV button on the left
side of the touch screen to toggle ON noninvasive.
When NIV is on the following features are activated to assist with noninvasive ventilation:
Bias flow becomes adjustable from 3 to 30 L/min to help manage leaks.
The Low Minute Volume alarm can be turned off in the Alarms screen
The Low Pressure alarm can be set closer to the base pressure (within 1 cmH2O /mbar
above baseline)
BUV

Backup Ventilation
Backup Ventilation activates when the currently linked alarm occurs. This function can be linked
with the Low Minute Volume (MVI) alarm, the Apnea alarm, or both alarms. During Backup
Ventilation the linked alarm(s) will sound and the message window will indicate that Backup
Ventilation is in use. There are default Backup Ventilation parameters, but the user may adjust
these in the Advanced Screen.
Backup Ventilation is functional in all modes.
Backup Ventilation is not active for 60 seconds after the user adjusts ventilator controls,
changes modes or starts ventilation from the Setting condition.
During Backup Ventilation, the Alarm Silence/Reset button can be pressed to silence the
audible alarm. This will not cancel Backup Ventilation.
When linked with the Low Minute Volume alarm, Backup Ventilation is based on the delivered
inspiratory minute volume. The inspiratory minute volume may be different from the expiratory
minute volume in some conditions, such as in the case of a patient breathing circuit or airway
leak.
Backup Ventilation in A/CMV and SIMV Modes:
The factory default setting for Backup Ventilation in these two modes will increase the
respiratory rate by 1.5 times the set rate, up to a maximum of 99 b/min. The minimum breath
rate delivered is 15 b/min.
The respiratory rate (RR) will only increase up to a rate that produces a 1:1 I:E ratio even if the
calculated Backup Ventilation rate is higher.
Backup Ventilation in Spont Mode:
The factory default setting for Backup Ventilation in the SPONT mode will implement these
changes:
SPONT = SIMV mode
Rate = 15 b/min
Pressure Control breath type = 15 cmH2O above set PEEP
i-time = 1.0 sec
Cancellation of Backup Ventilation

User Cancelled
If during Backup Ventilation, the user adjusts any ventilation parameter, Backup Ventilation is
suspended for one minute and all user selected ventilation parameters are employed.
Sixty (60) seconds must pass after parameter adjustments before a linked alarm violation will
result in Backup Ventilation.
Patient Cancelled
If linked to low minute volume, when delivered inspiratory minute volume exceeds the Low MVI
alarm setting by 10%, Backup Ventilation is cancelled. If linked to Apnea Alarm, after 2 minutes
of Backup Ventilation it is cancelled. At that time the audible alarm stops, the alarm indicator
latches and the HT70 resumes ventilation at the user-selected parameters.
Breath Types

PC (Pressure Control Ventilation)

The HT70 targets and maintains patient airway pressure at the set pressure control level
throughout inspiration. Breath termination occurs when (1) the set i time elapses, or (2) Paw
exceeds the Pressure Control setting by 8 cmH2O (mbar). Maximum airway pressure never
exceeds the user set High P alarm setting.
The target airway pressure for pressure controlled mandatory breaths in A/CMV and SIMV is
the display setting above ambient pressure, not above PEEP.
Both time and patient triggered mandatory breaths can be delivered in A/CMV and SIMV
Pressure Control operation. During SIMV Pressure Control operation, patients can breathe
spontaneously between mandatory breaths with or without pressure support.
When disconnecting the patient circuit during PC/PS ventilation, i.e. for suctioning, the flow may
increase in order to compensate for the low pressure. After reconnecting the patient circuit, the
flow will automatically readjust to meet the patient s demand.
VC (Volume Control Ventilation)
During Volume Control ventilation, tidal volume can be set for mandatory breaths. If a volume
setting is changed while the ventilator is operating, the change takes place in increments over a
series of breaths.
When tidal volume is adjusted, inspiratory time remains constant and mandatory flow changes.
If an attempted tidal volume setting results in a flow rate in excess of 100 L/min or less than 6
L/min, flow adjustment ceases, the user is alerted by an audible beep, and a message appears
in the Message Display Window. To allow further volume adjustment, change the inspiratory
time to set the Flow to meet the need of the patient.

SECTION 4: CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

General Warnings
Preventive maintenance work, repairs and service may only be performed by Newport Medical
trained or factory-authorized personnel.
Always follow accepted hospital procedures or physician instructions for handling equipment
contaminated with body fluids.
The ventilator and its accessories must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after each patient
use.
Certain components of the ventilator, such as the exhalation valve and the front panel, consist
of materials that are sensitive to some organic solvents used for cleaning and disinfection (e.g.
phenols, halogen releasing compounds, oxygen releasing compounds, and strong organic
acids). Exposure to such substances may cause damage that is not immediately recognizable.
The reusable exhalation valve, reusable breathing circuit and other parts that come in direct
contact with the patient should be sterilized between uses.
Cleaning and Disinfecting

Perform all cleaning and sterilization of external parts and accessories in conjunction with
established hospital policy, physician prescription, or Homecare Dealer instructions.
Consult accessory manufacturer instructions for specific cleaning, disinfecting and sterilizing
guidelines.
Definition of CLEAN: Employ a medical detergent or alcohol based cleaning solution to remove
blood, tissue and other residue. Rinse thoroughly with sterile, distilled water, and allow to air
dry.
Definition of DISINFECT: Employ liquid chemicals to disinfect.
Definition of Sterilize: Employ pasteurization, steam autoclave or Ethylene Oxide (EtO) to

sterilize.
Caution: When using liquid chemical agents, closely follow the manufacturer s
recommendations. Prior to use, verify that the agent is compatible with plastics.
WARNING Ethylene Oxide (EtO) is toxic. All accessories MUST be completely dry prior to
packaging for ethylene oxide sterilizing. After sterilizing, they must be properly aerated to
dissipate residual gas absorbed by the material. Follow the EtO manufacturer s
recommendations for the specific aeration periods required.
Caution: Ethylene Oxide may cause superficial crazing of plastic components and will
accelerate the aging of rubber components.
Caution: Always inspect breathing circuits and accessories after cleaning, disinfecting or
sterilizing to check for deterioration. If any part is damaged or shows excessive wear, replace
with a new part. Do not use cracked or damaged parts.

Ventilator
Wipe clean between patients and as needed while in use. The exterior of the ventilator should
be wiped clean with a cloth dampened with a medical detergent, disinfectant or alcohol based
cleaning solution.
Caution: Do not use agents that contain acetone, toluene, halogenated hydrocarbons, or strong
alkalines on the face panel or ventilator housing.
Caution: Never autoclave or EtO sterilize the HT70 ventilator. These processes will damage the
HT70, rendering it unusable.
Reusable Breathing Circuits

The HT70 ventilator may be used with a standard breathing circuit with a quality exhalation
valve.
Reusable breathing circuits are generally provided in clean, but not sterile, condition. Follow the
manufacturer s instructions to clean and/or disinfect a circuit prior to use.
WARNING Do not use electrically conductive breathing circuits. Always use clean and dry
breathing circuits.
Reusable circuits should be cleaned and disinfected between patients and once per week while
in use. Always use a clean, disinfected exhalation valve (and humidifier/probe assembly if
appropriate) when a breathing circuit is reassembled for patient use. Clean and sterilize
between patients in accordance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Caution: To avoid damage to a reusable circuit, attach and detach the circuit by grasping the
cuffs at the end of the circuit tubing. Do not pull or twist the circuit tubing.
General Cleaning Instructions: Use a low flow of running water or low flow of air to clear tubings
and passages of organic matter. Wash all components of the breathing circuit with a soft brush.
Rinse thoroughly with sterile, distilled water. Shake off excess water and place all parts on a
clean towel to air dry. Do not heat or blow dry. Always follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer.
Disinfect: Refer to the instructions provided by the breathing circuit manufacturer.
Sterilize: Refer to the instructions provided by the breathing circuit manufacturer.
Air Intake Filter (HT460300)

The Air Intake Filter, located on the right side of the ventilator behind the Filter Cover, keeps dirt
and particles out of the ventilator s piston system. As the filter becomes dirty it can reduce the
volume of air drawn into the ventilator. Check the Intake filter weekly. Replace with a new filter
when the majority of the filter surface area is no longer white. Intake filters are not reusable.
WARNING NEVER operate the HT70 without a clean Air Intake Filter in place. NEVER reverse
the Air Intake Filter when dirty.
Fan Filter (FLT3202P)

The fan filter will collect dust as the HT70 draws in air from the room to cool the interior. Check
and clean the fan filter regularly. Replace as necessary or at least every 6 months.

Proximal Inline Filter (p/n HT6004701)

Check the Proximal (Prox) Inline Filter weekly and replace it every 3 months. Discard it and
replace with a new filter if it appears to have gotten wet or come in contact with a contaminant.
Proximal Inline filters are not reusable. If the filter becomes occluded, replace the filter. The
primary indication for this would be a Low Pressure Alarm or Prox Line Alarm.
WARNING: Always use a Proximal Inline Filter (p/n HT6004701) at the Airway Pressure
Connector to protect the internal pressure transducers from moisture or other contaminants.
WARNING: Never reverse the Proximal Inline Filter.
Newport Medical strongly recommends that extra Prox Inline Filters be available at all times
when using the HT70 ventilator
CAUTION: Do not wash or sterilize the Prox Inline Filter.
