Warnings
WARNING: Do not operate the A7 Anesthesia System before reading this manual.
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 ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1 for medical electrical
equipment). All configurations comply with the valid version of ANSI/
AAMI ES60601-1. The personnel who are responsible for connecting
the optional equipment to the I/O signal port are responsible for
medical system configuration and system compliance with ANSI/AAMI
ES60601-1.
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 A7. 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 10A on the A7 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 A7 Anesthesia System to an AC power source before
depleting the internal battery power source.
WARNING: Do not open the equipment housings. Only trained and authorized
Mindray personnel may service and perform upgrades.
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: Customize the alarm settings according to patient’s condition and
situation. Keeping the patient under constant and close surveillance is
the most reliable way for safe patient monitoring.
WARNING: The physiological parameters and alarm messages displayed on the
equipment screen 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.
