IMPORTANT GENERAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
VF6 Infinity Vista 1-5
Safety, Inspection, and Maintenance
In the interest of safety, regular equipment inspection and maintenance is required.
Once a year, check all cables, devices, and accessories for damage, ground resistance,
chassis and patient leakage currents, and all alarm functions. Also, ensure that all
safety labels are legible. Maintain a record of these safety checks. For additional
information, refer to the Service manual.
Do not use cables that appear cracked, worn or damaged. Use of such cables may
contribute to poor monitoring performance or cause the display of erroneous values.
Leakage current increase when connecting multiple medical devices to a patient.
Ensure the electrical shock classification for each device is suitable for the intended
application.
Dräger recommends that safety and functional checks be performed on the monitor at
least once each year. The temperature and non-invasive blood pressure circuits of the
monitor should be calibrated at least every two years. These checks should be
performed by authorized personnel, as described in the appropriate Service manual.
When main or battery power is not available, the monitor stores patient data and
settings in an internal battery backed-up SRAM. This internal battery lasts
approximately 10 years if the monitor is operated from main power or from the lead
acid or lithium ion battery.
WARNING: Because of the danger of electric shock, never
remove the cover of any device while in operation or
connected to a power outlet via the AC adapter.
CAUTION: To preserve the life of the internal battery, always leave the monitor
connected to main power (using the AC adapter) when not in use. If the monitor is
stored unconnected
from line or lead acid/lithium ion battery power, the capacity of the
internal battery is drained in approximately three years.
