2 Safety
14 IFU, MIRUS Controller, en-GB, N.00
2.3.3 Control of patient relevant dosage
WARNING Always control the dosing of the volatile anaesthetic agent by
measuring the dose relevant end-expiratory agent concentration
(et VA).
Do not deliver any additional volatile anaesthetic agent to a breathing
system that is connected to the MIRUS System.
2.3.4 Combination of ventilators and MIRUS System
WARNING Use the MIRUS System only in combination with TIM tested ventilators
(see list of compatible ventilators).
Using the MIRUS System with ventilators that are not according to
ISO 80601-2-12 or ISO 80601-2-13 could endanger the patient.
Do not use the MIRUS System with jet or high frequency ventilators.
Do not use the MIRUS System with a helmet or face mask ventilation
(NIV).
2.3.5 Triggering of ventilators
WARNING When having placed the MIRUS System into the patient’s breathing
system ensure adequate triggering of the ventilator and readjust
triggering parameter, if necessary.
2.3.6 Minimum tidal volume
WARNING Do not use the MIRUS System at ventilation settings requiring
inspiratory tidal volumes < 300 mL.
Do not use the MIRUS System with additional breathing filters (HME/F)
at the y-piece or at the tube connection.
Do not use tubes etc. that significantly increase dead space.
