Warnings
WARNING: Do not operate the A5/A3 Anesthesia System before reading these
instructions.
WARNING: All analog or digital products connected to this system must be
certified passing the specified IEC standards (such as IEC 60950 for data
processing equipment and IEC 60601-1 for medical electrical
equipment). All configurations shall comply with the valid version of
IEC 60601-1. The personnel who are responsible for connecting the
optional equipment to the I/O signal port shall be responsible for
medical system configuration and system compliance with IEC 60601-1.
WARNING: This machine must only be operated by trained, skilled medical staff.
WARNING: Before putting the system into operation, the operator must verify that
the equipment, connecting cables, and accessories are in correct
working order and operating condition.
WARNING: The equipment must be connected to a properly installed power outlet
with protective earth contacts only. If the installation does not provide
for a protective earth conductor, disconnect it from the power line or
operate from the equipment’s internal battery supply.
WARNING: Multiple AC power outlets are provided on the rear of the A5/A3. These
outlets are intended to supply power to additional equipment that
form a part of the anesthesia system (i.e. vaporizers, gas analyzers,
etc.). Do not connect other equipment to these outlets, as patient
leakage current may be affected. Each outlet is rated 3 A; the total
current that may be drawn through all outlets is 10 A on the A5 System
and 9 A on the A3 System; do not attempt to exceed these load ratings.
Do not connect additional Multiple Portable Socket Outlets (i.e.
Multiple outlet extension cords) (MPSOs) or extension cords to these
outlets.
WARNING: Do not put MPSOs on the floor.
WARNING: Connect the A5/A3 Anesthesia System to an AC power source before the
internal battery power source is depleted.
WARNING: Do not open the equipment housings. All servicing and future
upgrades must be carried out only by trained and authorized Mindray
personnel.
WARNING: Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient
monitoring.
WARNING: Adjustment of alarm volume to a low level may result in a hazard to the
patient.
WARNING: Alarm settings should be customized according to different patient
situations. Constantly keeping the patient under close surveillance is
the most reliable way for safe patient monitoring.
WARNING: The physiological parameters and alarm messages displayed on the
screen of the equipment are for the caregiver’s reference only and
cannot be directly used as the basis for clinical treatment.
WARNING: Dispose of the packaging material, observing the applicable waste
control regulations and keeping it out of children’s reach.
