In Case of Power Loss

IN CASE OF POWER LOSS:

Relax! Peggy can breathe! The ventilator has 30 minutes of internal battery power.

Please note: You might hear unnerving alarming beeps coming from the bed, the feeding machine, the vent, and/or the oxygen concentrator if it is being used.

Find a FLASHLIGHT - look under bed for the emergency kit and follow directions on top of lid.

POWER LOSS INSTRUCTIONS:

1.Look on generator (located on front porch) for instructions to start generator.

2.After the generator is started, use the extension cord to connect the generator to a power strip by Peggy’s bed.

3.DO NOT PLUG THE VENTILATOR OR CONCENTRATOR (OXYGEN) INTO THE GENERATOR

4.Plug ONLY the following to the power strip

a.Battery charger
b.Humidifier
c.Bed/Mattress
d.Feeding Machine
e.Lights over Peggy’s bed
5.Connect the ventilator to a battery as if Peggy is in the wheelchair.
6.Use an oxygen tank instead of regular oxygen machine (only if necessary)
