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.
 Multiple AC power outlets are provided on the rear of the equipment. These
outlets are intended to supply power to additional equipment that form a part of
the anesthesia system (i.e. vaporizers, 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 5 A on the system. Do
not attempt to exceed these load ratings. Do not connect the additional MPSOs
(Multiple Portable Socket Outlets, i.e. multiple outlet extension cords) or extension
cords to these outlets.
 Do not place MPSOs on the floor.
 Connect the anesthesia system to an AC power source before the internal battery is
depleted.
 Do not open the equipment housings. All servicing and future upgrades must be
carried out only by trained and authorized Mindray personnel.
 Do not rely exclusively on the audible alarm system for patient monitoring.
 Adjustment of alarm volume to a low level may result in a hazard to the patient.
 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.
 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.
 Dispose the packaging material, observing the applicable waste control regulations
and keeping it out of children's reach.
 To avoid the possibility of explosion, do not use the equipment in the presence of
flammable anesthetic agents, vapors or liquids. Do not use flammable anesthetic
agents such as ether and cyclopropane for this equipment. Use only non-flammable
anesthetic agents that meet the requirements specified in ISO 80601-2-13. The A8
anesthesia system can be used with Halothane, Isoflurane, Sevoflurane and
Desflurane. The A9 anesthesia system can be used with Isoflurane, Sevoflurane and
Desflurane. Only one anesthetic agent can be used at a time.
 For A8 anesthesia system, fresh gas flow must never be switched off before the
vaporizer is switched off. The vaporizer must never be left switched on without a
fresh-gas flow. Otherwise, anesthetic agent vapor at a high concentration can get
into the equipment lines and ambient air, causing harm to people and materials.
 To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be connected to a
supply mains with protective earth.
 The use of anti-static or electrically conductive breathing tubes, when utilizing high
frequency electric surgery equipment, may cause burns, and is therefore not
recommended in any application of this equipment.
 Possible electric shock hazard. The equipment may only be opened by authorized
service personnel.
 The patient should be visually monitored by qualified personnel. In certain
situations, life-threatening circumstances may occur that may not necessarily
