Patient Safety - Dräger Oxylog 2000 plu Instructions For Use Manual

For Your Safety and that of Your Patients

Patient safety

The design of the medical device, the accompany-
ing literature, and the labeling on the medical
device are based on the assumption that the pur-
chase and use of the equipment are restricted to
trained professionals, and that certain inherent
characteristics of the medical device are known to
the trained operator. Instructions, warnings, and
caution statements are limited, therefore, largely to
the specifics of the Dräger design.
This publication excludes references to various
hazards which are obvious to a medical profes-
sional and operator of this medical device, to the
consequences of medical device misuse, and to
potentially adverse effects in patients with abnor-
mal conditions.
Medical device modification or misuse can be dan-
gerous.
CAUTION
Have a supply of extra batteries available.
Patient monitoring
The operators of the medical device are responsi-
ble for choosing appropriate safety monitoring that
supplies adequate information on medical device
performance and patient condition.
Patient safety may be achieved through a wide
variety of means ranging from electronic surveil-
lance of medical device performance and patient
condition, to simple, direct observation of clinical
signs.
The responsibility for the selection of the best level
of patient monitoring lies solely with the medical
device operator.
