4.2 Calibration Warnings, Precautions, and Notes
4.2.1 Warnings
WARNING: For continued protection against fire hazard, replace all fuses with the
specified type and rating.
WARNING: In order to prevent an electric shock, the machine (protection class I)
may only be connected to a correctly grounded mains connection
(socket outlet with grounding contact).
WARNING: Remove all accessory equipment from the shelf before moving the
anesthesia machine over bumps or on any inclined surface. Heavy top
loading can cause the machine to tip over causing injury.
WARNING: Possible explosion hazard. Do not operate machine near flammable
anesthetic agents or other flammable substances. Do not use
flammable anesthetic agents (i.e., ether or cyclopropane.)
WARNING: The use of anti-static or electrically conductive respiration tubes, when
utilizing high frequency electric surgery equipment, may cause burns
and is therefore not recommended in any application of this machine.
WARNING: Possible electric shock hazard. The machine may only be opened by
authorized service personnel.
WARNING: Compressed gasses are considered Dangerous Goods/Hazardous
Materials per I.A.T.A. and D.O.T. regulations. It is a violation of federal
and international law to offer any package or over pack of dangerous
goods for transportation without the package 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

4.2.2 Cautions
CAUTION: Refer to the ‘‘Periodical Maintenance Schedule’’ on page 3-2 for
assistance when performing scheduled periodic maintenance.
CAUTION: Do not leave gas cylinder valves open if the pipeline supply is in use
and the system master switch is turned to 'ON'. If used simultaneously,
cylinder supplies could be depleted, leaving an insufficient reserve
supply in the event of pipeline failure.
CAUTION: Use cleaning agent sparingly. Excess fluid could enter the machine,
causing damage.
CAUTION: This machine must only be operated by trained, skilled medical staff.
4.2.3 Notes
NOTE: Only bacterial filters with a low flow resistance must be connected to
the patient module and/or the patient connection.
