Intended Use - Dräger Cato Instructions For Use Manual

Intended use

Anaesthetic Workstation Cato
Universally applicable anaesthetic workstation for
Inhalation anaesthesia in semi-closed systems
Inhalation anaesthesia in virtually closed systems with
»low flow« and »minimal flow« techniques for minimum
gas and anaesthetic consumption, with:
Inhalation anaesthesia in non-rebreathing systems
with separate fresh gas outlet for connecting e.g.
Kuhn system.
Automatic ventilation (IPPV)
Synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation
(SIMV)
Manual ventilation (MAN)
Spontaneous breathing (SPONT)
The workstation must only be used under the
supervision of qualified medical staff, so that help is
available immediately if any faults or malfunctions
occur.
Explosive anaesthetic agents, such as ether or
cyclopropane, must not be used due to the risk of fire!
The equipment cannot distinguish between different
anaesthetics. Dräger cannot accept any liability if the
wrong anaesthetic is used!
Additional electric devices clipped into the top of
the unit must be connected to the base unit via an
equipotential bonding (earthing) conductor.
Do not use mobile phones within a distance of
10 metres from the machine.
Mobile phones can cause interference to electrical and
electronic medical appliances, thereby putting patients at
risk.*
®
Do not use Cato for nuclear spin tomography.
The functioning of the apparatus may be impaired.
Since this equipment is not approved for use with inflam-
mable anaesthetics (ether, cyclopropane, etc.), it is not
necessary to use antistatic (conductive) breathing hoses
or face masks.
Conductive breathing hoses and face masks may cause
burns during high-frequency surgery and are therefore
not recommended for this equipment.
The workstation should be moved using the handles
only.
*
Dräger medical appliances comply with the interference immunity
requirements of the specific standards for the products or
EN 60601-1-2 (IEC 601-1-2). However, depending on the design
of the mobile phone and situation of use, field strengths may occur
in the immediate environment of a mobile phone that exceed the
values of the standards quoted and therefore cause interference.

Measurement and monitoring functions:
Optional:
The following values are indicated:
Optional:
1) Refer to the separate Instructions for Use for the Vapor!
Measurement of the ventilation parameters:
pressure, flow, O concentration (inspiratory and

expiratory)
Continuous measurement of the CO
and N O/anaesthetic concentration (halothane, enflu-
