WARNING: Compressed gasses are considered Dangerous Goods/Hazardous
Materials per I.A.T.A (International Air Transport Association). and
D.O.T. (Department Of Transport) regulations. It is a violation of federal
and international law to transport dangerous goods without the
packages being appropriately identified, packed, marked, classified,
labeled and documented according to D.O.T. and I.A.T.A. regulations.
Please refer to the applicable I.A.T.A. Dangerous Goods Regulations
and /or the Code of Federal Regulations 49 (Transportation, Parts 171-
180) for further information.
WARNING: Avoid exposure to respiratory gases by always directing the fresh gas
flow from the fresh gas outlet to the waste gas scavenger.
WARNING: When using the AG module to perform AG measurements on the
patients who are receiving or have recently received anesthetic
agents,connect the outlet to the waste gas disposal system to prevent
the medical staff from breathing in the anesthetic agents.
WARNING: Remove the airway sampling line from the patient’s airway and seal the
sample port while nebulized medications are being
delivered.Nebulized medications interfere with accuracy gas reading.
WARNING: Before connecting the exhaust line to the sample gas outlet on the
compact airway module,ensure the other end is connected to the
sample gas return port on the anesthesia machine.Incorrect
connections may cause patient injury.
WARNING: Perform factory calibration in the working environment after
completion of anesthesia machine assembling.Contact us if factory
calibration is required during system use.
WARNING: Do not perform testing or maintenance on A5/A3 anesthesia machine
while it is being used on a patient.Possible injury can result.
WARNING: Items can be contaminated due to infectious patients.Wear sterile
rubber gloves.Contamination can spread to you and others.
WARNING: Obey infection control and safety procedures.Used equipment may
contain blood and body fluids.
Cautions
CAUTION: This device uses high pressure compressed gas. When attaching or
disconnecting backup gas cylinders, always turn the cylinder valves
slowly. Use the A5/A3 flow meters to bleed down the pressure,
watching the cylinder gauge indicate the depleting cylinder pressure,
before disconnecting the cylinder from the yoke. Always open and
close cylinder valves fully.
CAUTION: This device operates using compressed gas at high pressures from the
hospital central supply. When connecting gas supply lines attach the
hose connection to the machine before connecting the quick
disconnect fitting to the hospital source. Disconnect the supply hose
from the hospital source connection prior to disconnecting it from the
A5/A3 gas connection fittings.
CAUTION: Refer to section 3.3 Periodical Maintenance Schedule for assistance
when performing scheduled periodic maintenance.
