Mindray A5 Operating Instructions

Introduction Cautions
xvi 046-003777-00 A5/A3™ Operating Instructions
CAUTION: Do not wash the inner surface of the oxygen sensor.
CAUTION: Do not autoclave the following components: Paw gauge, oxygen
sensor, flow sensor, and bellows. These components cannot withstand
immersion or the heat and pressure of autoclaving.
CAUTION: Users should monitor oxygen percentage (FiO
2
%) when using the
Auxiliary O
2
/Air Flow Meters. Unknown oxygen concentrations may be
delivered to the patient unless oxygen monitoring is used.
CAUTION: The A5/A3 is NOT suitable for use in a magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) environment.
CAUTION: To ensure measurement accuracy and to avoid possible damage to the
A5/A3, use only Mindray-approved cables and accessories.
CAUTION: Use the power cord provided with the product. If a substitute is
necessary, use only hospital grade power cords.
CAUTION: Do not use a damaged or broken unit or accessory. Periodically check
all cables (e.g., AC line cord and patient connection cables) for damage
that may occur through normal use. Replace cables if damaged in any
way.
CAUTION: Use of other oxygen sensors may cause improper oximeter
performance.
CAUTION: Unintended movement may occur if the casters are not locked. The
operator should lock casters during use of the machine.
CAUTION: Unsecured devices may slide off the top shelf. Devices should be
securely attached to the top shelf.
CAUTION: The voltage on the auxiliary outlets is the same voltage as the outlet
into which the A5/A3 machine is plugged. Ensure that devices plugged
into the auxiliary outlets are rated for the same supply voltage as the
A5/A3.
CAUTION: During the transport and storage of the vaporizer, block the gas inlet
and outlet of the vaporizer with plugs to prevent foreign substances
from entering the vaporizer.
CAUTION: Do not use any flow outlets as handles for moving the A5/A3. The flow
outlets may become damaged. Use the metal side bars on the main
body when moving the A5/A3.
CAUTION: Do not push down on the bag arm forcefully or hang heavy objects
onto it. Excessive weight may bend and damage the bag arm.
CAUTION: Use caution when disconnecting “quick connectors”, as the sudden
release of pressure may cause injury.
CAUTION: Avoid factors that can contribute to deterioration of the hose
assemblies. Factors include excessive bending, crushing, abrasion,
system pressures and temperatures that exceed hose ratings, and
improper installation.
CAUTION: Use care in lifting and manipulating the breathing system block during
removal from its mounting arm as handling may be awkward due to its
weight and shape.
