Cautions:
Safety may be compromised if the System or any of its components are used in a manner other than specified by Laerdal.
• Do not open compressor housing. Dangerous voltage inside. Only to be opened by authorized personnel.
• Do not use in an explosive environment.
The Compact Compressor must be powered from a grounded outlet with the appropriate specified voltage and current.
Do not use an adapter or cord other than provided unless installed by a qualified electrician according to relevant electri-
cal codes.
• The Compact Compressor must be positioned to easily access and disconnect the power cord.
• To comply with CE Standards, the Compact Compressor must be positioned within 3 m/9 ft of the electrical
outlet.
• Position Compact Compressor to prevent blocking air vents.
No external ventilation is required to operate the system. If CO
2
is attached, small amounts will be released during use.
If CO
2
is attached and the Compact Compressor is operated without the Output Hose connected to both compressor
and manikin, a substantial quantity of CO
2
will be released.
