System operation safety
WARNING
3-2
Do not use antistatic or electrically-conductive breathing
tubes or masks. They can cause burns if used near high-
frequency surgical equipment
•
The manufacturer recommends the use of filter(s) that
protect both the inspiratory and expiratory ports to reduce
the risk of cross-contamination. Failure to properly install
and use bacterial or viral filters in a way that protects the
inspiratory and expiratory ports will result in additional
required cleaning and sterilization procedures. If filters
are not used, perform the cleaning and sterilization
procedures specified in the "Cleaning and sterilization"
manual before each patient to avoid cross-contamination
between patients.
•
Explosion Hazard. Do not use this system with flammable
anesthetic agents.
•
Ventilator alarms indicate potential hazard conditions.
Investigate all alarms that occur to help ensure adequate
patient safety.
•
If an alarm occurs, safeguard the patient first before
performing troubleshooting or doing repair procedures.
Failure to safeguard the patient could result in patient
injury.
•
Make sure that the patient breathing circuit is correctly
assembled and that the ventilator settings are clinically
appropriate before starting ventilation. Incorrect breathing
circuit assembly and incorrect ventilator settings can
injure the patient.
•
Make sure that the breathing circuit is correctly
connected and not damaged. Replace the breathing
circuit if it is damaged.
•
Maintain sufficient fresh gas flow when using sevoflurane.
•
Desiccated (dehydrated) absorbent material may
produce dangerous chemical reactions when exposed to
inhalation anesthetics. Adequate precautions should be
taken to ensure that absorbent does not dry out. Turn off
all gases when finished using the system.
•
Do not leave gas cylinder valves open if the pipeline
supply is in use. Cylinder supplies could be depleted,
leaving insufficient reserve supply in case of pipeline
failure.
