Setup safety

WARNING
8-2
The system should always be used with an oxygen
monitor, a CO2 monitor, an anesthetic agent monitor, and
an exhaled volume monitor. Refer to local standards for
mandatory monitoring requirements.
Always make sure the pipeline supply hoses and the
breathing circuit components are not toxic and will not:
Cause an allergic reaction in the patient.
React with the anesthetic gases or agent to produce
dangerous by-products.
Use only General Electric approved cables, hoses, and
tubing. Other manufacturer's cables, hoses, and tubing
could cause incorrect values or equipment malfunction.
Do not exceed electrical interference levels specified in
IEC 60601-1-2. Electrical interference can cause
nuisance alarms that may stop mechanical ventilation.
This system operates correctly at the electrical
interference levels of IEC 60601-1-2.
To help prevent false alarms from devices with high-
intensity electrical fields:
Keep the electrosurgical leads away from the
breathing system, the flow sensors, and the oxygen
cell.
Do not allow the electrosurgical leads to contact any
part of the anesthesia system.
Do not use cell phones near the anesthesia system.
To protect the patient when electrosurgical equipment is
used:
Monitor the correct operation of all life support and
monitoring equipment.
Keep backup manual ventilation available in case the
electrosurgical equipment prevents safe use of the
ventilator.
Use only reservoir bags that comply with EN1820 or ISO
5362 on this system.
