Operator’s Manual of Anesthesia System 1 - 3
Safety Safety Information
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: Dispose the packaging material, observing the applicable waste
control regulations and keeping it out of children's reach.
WARNING: 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 anesthesia system can be
used with Halothane, Isoflurane, Sevoflurane and Desflurane. Only one
anesthetic agent can be used at a time.
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of electric shock, this equipment must only be
connected to a supply mains with protective earth.
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: Possible electric shock hazard. The equipment may only be opened by
authorized service personnel.
WARNING: The patient should be visually monitored by qualified personnel.
In certain situations, life-threatening circumstances may occur that
may not necessarily trigger an alarm.
WARNING: Set the alarm limits properly based on the patient conditions so that
the alarm is triggered before a hazardous situation occurs. Incorrectly
set alarm limits may result in operating personnel not being aware of
drastic changes in the patient’s condition.
WARNING: Connection of both medical and non-medical equipment to the
auxiliary mains socket outlet(s) may increase the leakage currents to
values exceeding the allowable limits.
WARNING: Electric shock and fire hazard. Do not clean the equipment while it is
powered on and/or plugged into an outlet.
WARNING: Disconnect the power plug from the mains supply before removing the
rear panels or servicing the equipment.
WARNING: Malfunction of the central gas supply system may cause more than one
or even all devices connected to it to stop their operation
simultaneously.
WARNING: The anesthesia system will cease to deliver gas when the gas supply
pressure is smaller than 200 kPa.
WARNING: Standard gas terminal connectors tailored to the attributes of gases
should be used on the gas supply hose assembly to avoid damage to
people and materials from improper connectors used.
WARNING: Use a cleaning and disinfection schedule that conforms to your
institution's disinfection and risk-management policies.
