•
The connection of equipment to the auxiliary mains outlets may increase the
patient leakage currents to values exceeding allowable limit.
•
Do not autoclave any part of the ADU system except those specified in User´s
Reference Manual through the use of steam or ethylene oxide.
•
Do not allow liquid to enter the interior of the equipment.
•
Do not touch any exposed wiring or conductive surface while the cover is off
and the ADU energized. The voltages present may cause injury or death.
•
The power cord and plug must be intact and undamaged.
•
Do not remove the grounding pin from the power plug. Do not use extension
cords or adapters of any type.
•
Replace the power cord if its cracked, frayed, broken or otherwise damaged.
•
To power the ADU, use only a hospital grade grounded electrical outlets and
power cord. Adequate grounding can only be ensured if the equipment is
connected to a receptacle marked "Hospital Grade".
•
Make sure that any external equipment which is to be connected to Datex-
Ohmeda equipment is hospital grade grounded.
Hazard related to explosion, fire or burns
WARNING
To avoid the risk of explosion, fire, or burns the following precautions must be
observed:
•
Flammable anesthetic agents or gases such as ether and cyclopropane must
not be used with the ADU. Only agents which comply with the requirements
for non-flammable anesthetic agents according to IEC 60601-1 can be used.
•
As this workstation is not to be used with flammable anesthetic agents or
gases, the use of antistatic breathing tubes and face mask is not
recommended. Burns may occur if antistatic or electrically-conductive
breathing tubes are used while high-frequency electric surgery equipment is
in use.
•
High pressure or medical gases may cause explosion or burn strongly when
reacting with organic material such as lubricants, paint, greasy fingerprints,
dirt, dust fluff, and other organic waste.
•
Do not use oil, grease, or silicone-based lubricants. Only PTFE-based, oxygen
compatible lubricants are approved.
•
There is always a risk wherever anesthethic agents are used and handled. Do
not use the ADU in insufficiently ventilated areas, thus avoiding raised
concentrations of anesthetic agents in operating rooms. Use gas scavenging
at all times.
