Safe connection with other electrical equipment
WARNING
Electrical connections to equipment which is
not listed in these Instructions for Use should
only be made following consultation with the
respective manufacturers. Equipment mal-
function may result with the risk of patient
injury.
Patient safety
The design of the medical device, the accompany-
ing literature, and the labeling on the medical
device take into consideration that the purchase
and use of the medical device 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 mis-
use can be dangerous.
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 surveillance of medical
device performance and patient condition, to sim-
ple, direct observation of clinical signs.
The responsibility for the selection of the best level
of patient monitoring lies solely with the medical
device operator.
