2.1 Alerts

Connect the device to a wall socket that supplies the nominal voltage indicated on the machine.

In order to avoid any risk of arcing, connect the power cord firstly to SIMEOX then to the wall socket.

Likewise, once the device is switched off, disconnect the cord from the wall socket before disconnecting it from SIMEOX.

In order to avoid any risk of electrical discharge, never plug in or unplug the device with wet hands, do not use SIMEOX in damp rooms or in bathrooms.

Monitor the device during use and stop using it in the event of a malfunction.

Do not let a young patient use SIMEOX without adult supervision.

The power cable and the tube of the expiratory kits present a strangulation risk: keep them out of the reach of children.

The mouthpiece and the remote control battery present a suffocation risk: keep them out of the reach of children.

Only use the accessories and expiratory kits supplied by PHYSIO-ASSIST.

SIMEOX is designed and manufactured to resist spills of liquids falling vertically on the cover, but as a safety measure, in the event of contact with

a liquid, immediately switch the device off and disconnect it from the mains.

Never use SIMEOX if the plug or the power cord is damaged, if the device presents an operating fault or if it has been dropped, damaged or immersed in water.

Never dismantle SIMEOX and do not try to intervene if it breaks down: SIMEOX does not contain any parts to be replaced by the user. You are only responsible for replacing the remote control batteries, as described in this manual. Only approved personnel are authorised to perform maintenance operations on SIMEOX.

Do not install SIMEOX against a wall; the main switch must always remain accessible to switch off SIMEOX in an emergency.

All modifications to SIMEOX are prohibited.

The male mains plug can be used as a means of separating SIMEOX from the electricity grid.

The SIMEOX mouthpiece is intended to make contact with the patient s mouth. Although the materials used are biocompatible, in the event of irritation, tingling or allergies, stop using SIMEOX immediately and consult a specialist.
