Maintenance requirement

Does anyone have a PM procedure and what is the frequency of PM, or are you risking out or doing AEM.

Rudy,

I took a look at their website but could not find a service manual.  The closest thing I could find to maintenance requirements is this (bold text is mine): 

Controlled oxygen delivery (when required) 

Oxygen from a concentrator or cylinder can be added. An in-built ultrasonic analyzer requires no calibration, service, or replacement.

If it were me, I would contact the vendor and ask about preventive maintenance.

Per the Technical Manual, "Arivo 2 humidifiers do NOT require routine servicing or calibration".   There is a Performance Check option, however;  there's no manufacturer requirement to carry out these checks on a routine basis as stated in the Technical Manaul.  This was also confirmed via email with F&P's Quality & Regulatory Specialist and we have that correspondence on file in case the no-service/PM strategy is questioned by surveyors.   You may wish to do the same. In the meantime, I'll send the Technical Manual to MedWrench's Admin for posting.   Hope this helps.  - Cipher
