Assembly and preparation
Devices connected to the gas supply may be damaged by inadequate gas quality.
The use of non-medical gas can result in gas compositions that impair the
functional integrity of the device.
► Use only medical gases.
► Follow the national and international standards regarding the use of medical
gases.
Impermissible supply pressures or using oxygen supplies with less than 100 % O
2
may cause incorrect gas composition. As a result, the patient could be put at risk.
► Check the supply pressures of the central supply and of the gas cylinders before
operation.
► When using O
2, use only 100 % O2.
The following effects may occur when using O
2 concentrators and may put the
patient at risk:
– Deviations between the set value and the actual value for fresh-gas flow and
O
2 concentration in the fresh gas
– Inaccurate measured values for volume, anesthetic agent consumption,
econometer, and low-flow wizard
– Accumulation of argon in low-flow operation and minimal-flow operation
► Do not use any O
2 concentrators.
A failure of the gas supply can result in a risk of patient injury. In the following
cases, the availability of the gas cylinders cannot be monitored and the backup
functionality may be put at risk:
– Instead of a Dräger pressure reducer, a pressure reducer without the required
pressure sensor is used.
– A central supply hose is connected to the connector for the compressed gas
cylinders.
► If monitoring of the gas cylinders is not available, suitable pressure monitoring
conforming to ISO 80601-2-13 must be used. This will allow the user to read the
cylinder pressures from the user's operating location.
► Do not connect central supply hoses to the connectors for gas cylinders.
