1.2 Warnings
WARNING
Whenever using anesthetic gases, nitrous oxide, oxygen, or any hospital gas always
follow the appropriate agent evacuation/collection procedures. Use the hospital gas
evacuation system.
Use only an approved lubricant on any O-ring in contact with oxygen. Krytox® is
the recommended oxygen service lubricant.
For continued protection against fire hazard, replace all fuses with the specified
type and rating.
In order to prevent an electric shock, the machine (protection class I) may only be
connected to a correctly grounded mains connection (socket outlet with grounding
contact).
Remove all accessory equipment from the shelf before moving the anesthesia
machine over bumps or on any inclined surface. Heavy top loading can cause the
machine to tip over causing injury.
Possible explosion hazard. Do not operate machine near flammable anesthetic
agents or other flammable substances. Do not use flammable anesthetic agents (i.e.
ether or cyclopropane.)
The use of anti-static or electrically conductive respiration tubes, when utilizing
high frequency electric surgery equipment, may cause burns and is therefore not
recommended in any application of this machine.
Possible electric shock hazard. The machine may only be opened by authorized
service personnel.
Avoid exposure to respiratory gases by always directing the fresh gas flow from the
fresh gas outlet to the waste gas scavenger.
