Dräger Resuscitaire WBR82 - Safety Tips

PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT 8 Jan 04
3 - 13
CAUTION:
Castors do not control all the Electro Static Discharge (ESD) characteristics of the device on
which they are mounted. They do, however, help prevent the build-up of charge on the castors
from friction during motion.
ESD is a product of the environment and only the user/owner can control the ESD in that
environment by maintaining a conductive floor, equipping employees with ESD clothing and
control devices, etc.
Safety Tips
WARNING:
To prevent injury or damage to the warmer, employ two persons of sufficient strength to
adequately control the warmer during transport. Use the handle when moving the equipment.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Use two persons of sufficient strength to lift the upper post. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Using a breathing circuit other than the one supplied for the Patient Outlet or one that has
tubing with an inner diameter smaller than 10 mm may inadvertently restrict the gas flow. This
restriction could cause the indication of the gas flow and the adjustable airway pressure relief to
be inaccurate. Patient injury could occur.
WARNING:
Inspect the infant skin for reddened areas, which result from heating of materials, such as
plastic diapers or pins, in contact with the skin or from removing a layer of skin when removing
the probe cover. Failure to do so could result in patient injury.
WARNING:
A minor change in heater power output does not result in an immediate change in the infant
temperature. A major change in the heater power output causes a more rapid change in the
infant temperature. Wait for the results. Failure to do so could result in patient injury.
WARNING:
Dressing the infant or swaddling with a blanket during radiant warming could cause skin
temperature variations and set point temperature alarms. To prevent excessive skin
temperature variations, always uncover or undress the infant during radiant warming. Failure to
do so could result in patient injury.
WARNING:
Use only the skin probes with reflective probe covers supplied by the manufacturer, and ensure
that they are properly positioned. Failure to do so could result in patient injury or equipment
damage.
