Important Safety Information
Operator’s Responsibility for Patient
Safety
The design of the equipment, the accompanying
literature, and the labeling on the equipment take into
consideration that the purchase and use of the
equipment are restricted to trained professionals, and
that certain inherent characteristics of the equipment
are known to the trained operator. Instructions,
warnings, and caution statements are limited,
therefore, largely to the specifics of the Dräger design.
This publication excludes references to various
hazards which are obvious to a medical professional
and operator of this equipment, to the consequences of
product misuse, and to potentially adverse effects in
patients with abnormal conditions. Product modification
or misuse can be dangerous.
Patient monitoring
The operators of the anesthesia system must
recognize their responsibility for choosing appropriate
safety monitoring that supplies adequate information
on equipment performance and patient conditions.
Patient safety may be achieved through a wide variety
of different means, ranging from electronic surveillance
of equipment performance and patient condition to
simple, direct observation of clinical signs.
The responsibility for the selection of the best level of
patient monitoring lies solely with the equipment
operator.
