Introduction Warnings
xii 046-003777-00 A5/A3â„¢ Operating Instructions
WARNING: Use care in lifting and manipulating vaporizers during the mounting
process as their weight may be greater than expected, based on their
size and shape.
WARNING: Do not use talc, zinc stearate, calcium carbonate, corn starch, or similar
material to prevent sticking of the bellows, as these materials may
enter the patient's lungs or airway, causing irritation or injury.
WARNING: All gas supplies should be of medical grade.
WARNING: Single use respiratory hoses, face masks, sensors, sodalime, water
traps, sampling lines, airway adapters, and other single use items may
be considered potential biologically hazardous items and should not
be reused. Dispose of these items in accordance with hospital policy
and local regulations for contaminated and biologically hazardous
items.
WARNING: To avoid endangering a patient, do not perform testing or maintenance
when the machine is in use.
WARNING: Review the performance specifications of the disposal system that the
transfer and receiving systems are intended to be used with, to ensure
compatibility.
WARNING: The A5/A3 should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the A5/A3 should be
observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will
be used.
WARNING: Ensure that the current alarm presets are appropriate before use on
each patient.
WARNING: A hazard can exist if different alarm presets are used for the same or
similar equipment in any single area.
WARNING: Due to the size and weight of the A5/A3, it should only be moved by
qualified personnel.
WARNING: Overloading machine may cause tipping. Equipment attached to the
side of the machine should fall within the rated weights to prevent
tipping of the machine.
WARNING: Excess load may cause a tip hazard while moving the A5/A3. Before
moving, remove all equipment from the top shelf and all monitoring
equipment mounted to the side of the A5/A3. Use care when moving
the A5/A3 up or down inclines, around corners, and across thresholds.
Do not attempt to roll the A5/A3 over hoses, cords, or other obstacles.
WARNING: Leaks or internal venting of sampled gas may affect accuracy. Perform
the proper preoperative tests to ensure that the device is performing
properly. Leaky circuits can not be used.
WARNING: Connection of the A5/A3 exhaust port to the hospital’s waste gas
scavenging system is strongly recommended to prevent exposure of
hospital personnel to the A5/A3 exhaust gases.
WARNING: Operation of the A5/A3 below the minimum flow values may cause
inaccurate results.
WARNING: Ensure that an independent means of ventilation (e.g. a self-inflating
manually powered resuscitator with mask) is available whenever the
A5/A3 is in use.
