For Your Safety and that of Your Patients
Safe use of the equipment
Safe use of the equipment
This equipment must only be used under the supervision
of qualified medical staff, so that help is available imme-
diately if any faults or malfunctions occur.
Medications containing alcohol and other flammable
substances, must NOT be used in the patient circuit.
This is a fire hazard!
Medicaments and other substances based on
inflammable solvents, such as alcohol, must not be
used in the patient system. Danger of fire!
Adequate ventilation must be ensured when using
inflammable substances for disinfection.
Do not use mobile telephones within 10 metres of
ventilators!
Mobile telephones may impair the functioning of
electromedical equipment and endanger the patient
*
* Dräger medical equipment meets the requirements for immunity to
interference in accordance with the specific product standards and
EN 60601-1-2 (IEC 60601-1-2). Depending on the type of mobile
telephone used and on the application situation, however, field
strengths exceeding the values specified in the applicable
standards may develop in the immediate vicinity of the mobile
telephone and therefore lead to faults and malfunctions.
When the unit is mounted onto the trolley it must NOT be
tilted at more than 5
o
, this could cause the entire
assembly to tip over.
Appropriate ventilation monitoring
The (built-in) monitoring facilities of the Evita 2 dura ventilator
ensure appropriate monitoring of ventilation therapy and
(therefore) will detect any undesirable changes in the following
ventilation parameters:
— Airway pressure, Paw
— Expiratory minute volume, MV
— Inspiratory O
2
concentration, FiO
2
— Inspiratory breathing gas temperature, T
— Expiratory CO
2
concentration, etCO
2
(optional)
— Inspiratory breathing volume, V
Ti
— Apnoea time
— Tachypnoea monitoring
Changes in these parameters may be caused by:
— Acute changes in the patient's condition
— Incorrect settings and faulty handling
— Equipment malfunctions
— Failure of power and gas supplies
If a fault occurs in this equipment, separate measuring
instruments should be used.
Back-up ventilation with an independent manual ventilation
device
If a fault is detected in Evita 2 dura so that its life-support
functions are no longer assured, ventilation using an
independent ventilation device must be started without delay –
if necessary with PEEP and/or increased inspiratory
O
2
concentration (e.g. with the Dräger Resutator 2000).
