IMPORTANT GENERAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
VF6 Infinity Vista 1-3
Reducing EMI
To reduce possible problems caused by EMI we recommend the following:
z Use only Dräger-approved accessories.
z Ensure that other products used in areas where patient monitoring and/or life-
support is used comply to accepted emissions standards (EN55011).
z Try to maximize the distance between electromedical devices.
z Strictly limit exposure and access to portable radio-frequency sources (e.g.,
cellular phones and radio transmitters). Be aware that portable phones may
periodically transmit even when in standby mode.
z Maintain good cable management. Do not route cables over electrical
equipment. Do not intertwine cables.
z Ensure all electrical maintenance is performed by qualified personnel.
Site of Operation
CAUTION: The site of operation for the monitor must meet temperature, humidity, and
air pressure requirements. For details, see the product description in Appendix D.
WARNING: Do not operate the monitor in presence of
flammable anesthetic mixtures with air, oxygen, or nitrous
oxide. If the devices are used where flammable anesthetic
substances are used, the possibility of an explosion cannot
be excluded.
WARNING: Do not use the monitor near devices with
microwave or other high frequency emissions that may
interfere with the monitor’s operation.
WARNING: If fluids are accidentally spilled on the monitor, it
should be removed from service immediately and thoroughly
inspected by your Biomed to ensure that there is no
compromise in electrical safety.
CAUTION: Place the monitor on a flat and stable surface to prevent it from falling. Do
not place the monitor into a cabinet, wall recess or similar enclosure during operation.
These units are convection cooled (no fan) and need adequate airflow to dissipate heat.
