Dräger Babyleo TN500 - Use of Oxygen

14 Instructions for use Babyleo TN500 SW 1.0n
Safety-related information
Electromagnetic fields may disrupt the function of the device, putting the patient at
risk. Electromagnetic fields are generated by, for example:
– Cellular phones
– Radio-frequency surgical equipment
– Defibrillators
– Shortwave therapy equipment
► Observe the separation distances. For further information, see the following
chapter: ''Recommended safety clearances for portable and mobile high-
frequency communication equipment'' (page 199).
2.10 Use of oxygen
2.10.1 Oxygen cylinders
If oxygen cylinders or devices containing oxygen are installed in the vicinity of the
ventilation slot, oxygen may get into the device at the power supply unit. In the
event of sparking at the power supply unit there is an increased risk of fire, which
may lead to personal injury and property damage.
► Position oxygen cylinders and devices containing oxygen on that side of the
device without the ventilation slot.
2.10.2 Oxygen cylinder valves
The use of unauthorized or poorly maintained oxygen cylinder valves presents an
increased risk of fire, which may lead to personal injury and property damage.
► Do not use unauthorized oxygen cylinder valves.
► Make sure that oxygen connectors and oxygen seals are kept free from oil and
dust at all times. Always open oxygen cylinder valves slowly.
2.10.3 Oxygen supply
The health of patients can be endangered if they are provided with too much or not
enough oxygen. If O
2 is supplied externally, there is also a risk of fire.
► If the device is switched off, do not supply any O
2 from an external source. Do
not leave behind any oxygen-supplying accessories (e.g., O
2 hood, nasal
prongs) in the patient compartment.
► Measure and monitor the oxygen concentration in the patient compartment.
► Make sure that the oxygen concentration in the patient compartment is always
below 65 %.
► Always monitor the oxygen concentration in the patient's blood, e.g., using blood
gas analysis and a pulse oxymeter.
► Make sure that the O
2 settings are correct.
► Check the amount of O
2 supplied via an external O2 hood.
► Always monitor the additional O
2 supply via the central gas supply, an oxygen
cylinder or an O
2 hood.
► Be aware that Babyleo TN500 displays no alarms in the case of an external
oxygen supply, e.g., via an O
2 hood.
► In the patient compartment use only electrical devices that are approved for use
in an oxygen-enriched atmosphere.
