Safety-related information
2.14.3 Increased CO2 concentration in the patient compartment
If the device does not have the "Tolerate cooling" option, it must be switched off to
cool down. When the device is switched off, an inadequate supply of fresh air may
result in an increase in CO
2 in the patient compartment. This may put the patient at
risk.
► Ensure that the patient has an adequate supply of fresh air when the device is
switched off (e.g., by opening a hand port or a side panel).
2.14.4 Skin temperature sensors
Incorrect use of the skin temperature sensors may result in hypothermia or
hyperthermia. Reused skin temperature sensors may transmit pathogens or may be
defective and result in incorrect measurements. The patient is put at risk.
► Only use skin temperature sensors approved for the device.
► The skin temperature sensors are disposable products: Do not reuse,
reprocess, or sterilize.
► Incorrect interpretation of the values may result in hypothermia or hyperthermia.
► Do not use the skin temperature sensor as a clinical thermometer and do not
use it to measure rectal temperature.
► Use dry skin temperature sensors only.
► Use covers recommended by Dräger only, e.g., ThermoPad sensor covers or
similar covers with aluminum film.
► Check the position of the skin temperature sensors at regular intervals.
► Place the yellow skin temperature sensor in the liver or kidney region only.
► Place the white skin temperature sensor on the foot or hand only.
► Do not place the skin temperature sensors under the patient.
► The device cannot distinguish between an increase in body core temperature
when the skin is cold (e.g., with a fever) and a low body core temperature (e.g.,
with hypothermia). Do not use skin temperature mode in cases of fever or
shock.
► If skin temperature sensors are connected, do not use radio-frequency surgical
equipment, endocardial catheters, or defibrillators.
2.14.5 Air temperature in the device
The following situations may lead to hypothermia or hyperthermia in the patient:
– The hand ports or access panels are left open.
– The mattress tray or x-ray tray is left pulled out.
► Only open the hand ports or access panels temporarily and only for as long as is
necessary.
► Only pull out the mattress tray or x-ray tray temporarily and only for as long as is
necessary.
