Software - Dräger Fabius plus Instructions For Use Manual

Software

The device's software has been developed and
tested carefully in accordance with Dräger's high
quality standards. It is therefore highly improbable
that software errors can become a hazard to the
patient.
Additionally, independent protective functions are
extensively implemented in the software, as well as
in electronics and mechanics, for all safety-related
functions of the device.
Through this, the probability that an error in the soft-
ware or other functions can be detected before it
affects the patient's safety is very high. Regular
automated or manual tests ensure the effective-
ness of all protective measures.
WARNING
Do not use conductive breathing hoses or
face masks.
They may cause burns during HF surgery.
WARNING
Any person involved with the setup, opera-
tion, or maintenance of the Fabius plus anes-
thesia workstation must be thoroughly
familiar with this instruction manual.
WARNING
This anesthesia workstation will not respond
automatically to certain changes in patient
condition, operator error, or failure of compo-
nents. The anesthesia workstation has to be
operated under the constant supervision and
control of a qualified operator in order to pro-
vide immediate corrective action.
WARNING
No third-party components shall be attached
to the anesthesia workstation, ventilator, or
breathing system (except for certain approved
components), otherwise the correct functio-
ning of the medical device may be compro-
mised. For more information, contact
DrägerService or your local authorized ser-
vice organization.
Instructions for Use Fabius plus SW 3.n
For Your Safety and that of Your Patients
WARNING
Each institution and user has a duty to inde-
pendently assess, based on its, his, or her uni-
que circumstances, what components to
include in an anesthesia workstation. Howe-
ver, Dräger, in the interest of patient safety,
strongly recommends the use of an oxygen
analyzer, pressure monitor, volume monitor,
and end-tidal CO monitor in the breathing cir-
2
cuit at all times.
WARNING
Risk of unintentional movement of the anes-
thesia workstation
Apply the caster brakes when the anesthesia
workstation is in use.
WARNING
Remove any equipment mounted on the
machine before transport. The writing table
should also be free of all objects and pushed
back in the locked position.
If these precautions are not followed, the
device may tip over and pose a risk to safety.
WARNING
Risk of fire
Drugs or other substances based on inflam-
mable solvents, such as alcohol, must not be
introduced into the patient system.
Adequate ventilation must be ensured if
highly inflammable substances are used for
disinfection.
WARNING
Explosive anesthetics, such as ether or cyclo-
propane, must not be used due to the risk of
fire.
WARNING
Always keep a breathing bag at hand. If venti-
lation of the patient is compromised, the pati-
ent must be immediately ventilated with a
separate emergency ventilator.
