19.2 Safety Information
WARNING
1 EXPLOSION HAZARD - Do not use the RM module in the presence of flammable
anesthetics or other flammable gasses when mixed with air, oxygen, or nitrous oxide.
Use of the RM module in such environment may present an explosion hazard.
2 Follow precautions for electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electromagnetic
interference (EMI) to and from other equipment.
3 If the RM module fails to respond as described in this manual, do not use it until
approved for use by qualified personnel.
4 Do not position the sensor cables or tubing in any manner that may cause
entanglement or strangulation.
5 Do not apply excessive tension to any cable or pneumatic tubing.
6 ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD - The RM module contains no user serviceable
parts. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
7 Reuse (disassembly, cleaning, disinfecting, sterilizing, etc.) of the single patient use
flow and CO
2
/flow sensors may compromise device functionality and system
performance and cause a potential patient hazard. Performance is not guaranteed if
a sensor is reused.
8 Inspect the flow and CO
2
/flow sensors prior to use and periodically during use. Do
not use them if they appear to be damaged or broken.
9 Do not attempt to rotate a sensor in the breathing circuit by grasping the pneumatic
tubes exiting the flow sensor.
10 Periodically inspect sensor tubing for kinks.
