Intended Use; Indications/Contraindications - Dräger Perseus A500 Instructions For Use Manual

Intended use

The Perseus anesthesia workstation is intended
for use in anesthetizing adults, children, and
neonates and can be used for automatic and
manual ventilation, pressure-supported
spontaneous breathing, and spontaneous
breathing.
Perseus is equipped with airway monitoring, gas
measurement and device monitoring, O
insufflation, and an anesthetic gas receiving
system.

Indications/Contraindications

Indications
Perseus is specified for inhalational anesthesia
and/or patient ventilation in accordance with the
intended use during surgical or diagnostic
interventions.
Contraindications
– Perseus applies medications such as oxygen,
nitrous oxide, or volatile anesthetic agents,
among others. For contraindications to the
applied medications, strictly follow the
instructions for use of the medication.
– Do not use soda lime based on potassium
hydroxide. Otherwise, there is a risk of CO
formation.
– Only use pelletized soda lime. Otherwise, there
is a risk of faulty measurement or faulty
delivery as well as progressive damage to the
breathing system due to dust.
– For patients suspected of malignant
hyperthermia: Do not use any volatile
anesthetic agent or Perseus with residual
concentrations of these gases above 5 ppm.
Instructions for use Perseus A500 SW 2.0n
Anesthesia is achieved through a mixture of pure
oxygen and Air (medical compressed air) or pure
oxygen and nitrous oxide, with the addition of
volatile anesthetic agents.
Ventilation is accomplished on the patient through
a laryngeal mask airway, a full-face mask, or an
endotracheal tube.
2
The integrated breathing system can be used with
partial rebreathing (low-flow or minimum-flow).
A non-rebreathing system such as the Kuhn or
Medec Water System may be used at the external
fresh-gas outlet (optional).
– Do not perform low-flow anesthesia on patients
with ketoacidosis or patients under the
influence of alcohol. Otherwise, there is a risk
of acetone accumulation in the patient.
The user is responsible for setting the gas delivery
and ventilation according to the individual patient
status. Patient status must be continually
monitored for any potential changes.
