electrically from the SUPPLY MAINS. Do not position the Anesthesia
System so that it is difficult to operate the plug.
WARNING: Do not touch the patient when connecting the peripheral equipment
via the I/O signal ports or replacing the oxygen cell to prevent patient
leakage current from exceeding the requirements specified by the
standard.
WARNING: If the Drive Gas Pressure Low alarm occurs when the gas supply
pressure is greater than 200 kPa, contact your service personnel or us.

Cautions
CAUTION: To ensure patient safety, use only parts and accessories specified in this
manual.
CAUTION: At the end of its service life, the equipment, as well as its accessories,
must be disposed of in compliance with the guidelines regulating the
disposal of such products, and in accordance with local regulations for
contaminated and biologically hazardous items.
CAUTION: Magnetic and electrical fields are capable of interfering with the proper
performance of the equipment. Ensure that all external devices
operating in the vicinity of the equipment comply with the relevant
EMC requirements. Mobile phones, x-ray equipment, and MRI devices
are possible sources of interference as they may emit higher levels of
electromagnetic radiation.
CAUTION: This system operates correctly at the electrical interference levels
identified in this manual. Higher levels can cause nuisance alarms that
may stop mechanical ventilation. Be aware of false alarms caused by
high-intensity electrical fields.
CAUTION: The A5/A3 Anesthesia System may become unstable if the unit is tilted
beyond 10 degrees. Use extreme caution when moving or resting the
unit on surfaces exceeding a 10 degree slope. Do not hang articles on
the sides of the unit that would cause an excessive imbalance.
CAUTION: Perform the daily checks specified on the checklist. In case of a system
fault, do not operate the system until the fault has been corrected.
CAUTION: Before starting the machine, users must be familiar with the
information contained in these Operating Instructions and must have
been trained by an authorized representative.
CAUTION: If the machine does not function as described, it must be examined and
repaired as necessary by qualified service personnel before being
returned to use.
CAUTION: Handle the machine with care to prevent damage or functional faults.
CAUTION: Ensure that the gas supply of the machine always complies with the
technical specifications.
