irritant.
WARNING: Use care in lifting and manipulating vaporizers during the installing
process as their weight may be greater than expected, based on their
size and shape.
WARNING: Do not use talc, calcium stearate, corn starch or similar materials,
as these materials may enter the patient's lungs or airway, causing
irritation or injury.
WARNING: All gas supplies should be of medical grade.
WARNING: Single use breathing tubes, face masks, sensors, soda lime, water traps,
sampling lines, airway adapters, and other single use items may be
considered potential biologically hazardous items and should not be
reused. Dispose of these items in accordance with hospital policy and
local regulations for contaminated and biologically hazardous items.
WARNING: To avoid endangering the patient, do not perform test or maintenance
when the equipment is in use.
WARNING: Review the performance specifications of the disposal system that the
transferring and receiving systems are intended to be used with,
to ensure compatibility.
WARNING: The equipment should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the equipment
should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in
which it will be used.
WARNING: Ensure that the current alarm presets are appropriate before use on
each patient.
WARNING: A hazard can exist if different alarm presets are used for the same or
similar equipment in any single area.
WARNING: Due to the size and weight of the equipment, it should only be moved
by qualified personnel.
WARNING: Overloading machine may cause tipping. Equipment attached to the
side of the equipment should be within the rated weights to prevent
dumping of the machine.

Before moving, remove all equipment from the top shelf and all
monitoring equipment installed to the side of the equipment. Use care
when moving the equipment up or down a slope, around a corner, and
across threshold. Do not attempt to roll the equipment over hoses,
cords, or other obstacles.
WARNING: Leaks or internal venting of sampled gas may affect accuracy. Perform
proper preoperative tests to ensure that the equipment is operating
properly. Leaky circuits can not be used.
WARNING: Connecting the equipment's exhaust port to the hospital’s waste gas
scavenging system is strongly recommended to prevent exposure of
hospital personnel to the waste gas.
