Operation
8.1.4 Explosion protection
Flammable gases
In combination with oxygen or nitrous oxide, ignition sources such as
electrosurgery, laser surgery, and faulty cables or connectors can cause fires. As a
result, user and patient could be put at risk.
► This device is not approved for use in areas where oxygen concentrations
greater than 25 Vol%, combustible, or explosive gas mixtures are likely to occur.
► Maintain a distance of at least 200 mm (7.9 in) between electrical connections
and components which conduct oxygen and nitrous oxide.
► Cables and connections must be sufficiently insulated and must not be
damaged. Check cables for damage daily.
► Disconnect all oxygen feeds if oxygen leakage is suspected in the device or its
vicinity (e.g., because a corresponding flowing noise can be heard). Do not
operate the device, and contact service personnel.
► Keep ignition sources away from the device.
If a fire starts in the immediate vicinity of the patient, the device could also catch
fire. Personal injury and property damage may occur as a consequence.
► Disconnect the oxygen-carrying connections from the device and the patient.
► Extinguish the fire and tend to the patient’s medical needs.
8.1.5 Workplace light
Looking directly into the LEDs of the workplace light may damage the retina. User
and patient could be put at risk.
► Do not look directly into the LEDs.
► Make sure that the patient is not dazzled by the LEDs.
If illumination without neutral colors is used during the medical examination of the
patient, this may result in, e.g., misinterpretation of skin coloring.
► Do not use the device's working light for examinations.
► For examinations, use an examination light conforming to IEC 60601-2-41.
