1.1.1 Warnings
WARNING: Do not operate the anesthesia system before reading this manual.
WARNING: All analog or digital equipment connected to this system must be
certified passing the specified IEC standards (such as IEC 60950 for data
processing equipment and IEC 60601-1 for medical electrical
equipment). All configurations shall comply with the valid version of
IEC 60601-1. The personnel who are responsible for connecting the
optional equipment to the I/O signal port shall be responsible for
medical system configuration and system compliance with IEC 60601-1.
WARNING: This equipment 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 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 additional Multiple Portable
Socket Outlets (i.e. Multiple outlet extension cords) (MPSOs) or
extension cords to these outlets.
WARNING: Do not place MPSOs on the floor.
WARNING: Connect the anesthesia system to an AC power source before the
internal battery is depleted.
WARNING: Do not open the equipment housings. All servicing and future upgrades
must be carried out only by trained and authorized Mindray personnel.
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: 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.
