Do not connect the anaesthesia unit to the patient by flexible connectors, and
antistatic or conductive tubes to prevent patient burnings during the use of
high frequency surgical equipment, specially dangerous with antistatic tubes.
The use of flexible connectors, antistatic or conductive tube is never
permitted with MORPHEUS anaesthesia unit.
Do not use worn and consumed tubes or tubes contaminated by flammable
substances like grease or oil to deliver oxygen; (fabrics, oil and other fuels
can easy ignite and they intensively burn in air with high concentration of
oxygen.
In the event of fire or an unpleasant smell (e.g. a smell of burning), the
anaesthesia unit should immediately be disconnected from the electrical
power supply and from the battery (if fitted).
When coming into contact with any component of the anaesthesia unit, the
hospital procedures for the handling of infected material should always be
respected.
SIARE is aware that cleaning, sterilisation and disinfection procedures vary
considerably from one health structure to another. SIARE cannot be held
responsible for the efficacy of the cleaning and sterilisation procedures, nor
for the other procedures carried out while the patient is being treated. As
regards cleaning, sterilisation and disinfection of the product components, it is
therefore recommended that the regulations currently in force in the country
where the equipment is installed be taken into consideration.
The MORPHEUS anaesthesia unit was not designed as a total monitoring
device: some conditions of danger for the patients treated with vital support
equipment will not trigger any alarm.
Before using the anaesthesia unit or any connected component, carefully
check that the equipment is functioning correctly; when needed, the auto-
diagnostic test must be performed as described in the present User's Manual.
Do not use pointed instruments, such as pencils, screwdrivers or the like to
make selections or settings as they could damage the surface of the LCD
panel.
Check the anaesthesia unit periodically as described in the relative
"Maintenance" chapter and do not use it if it is faulty or malfunctioning.
Replace any broken, missing, obviously worn, deformed or contaminated
parts immediately, with spare parts supplied by SIARE.
Do not connect external devices NOT manufactured or NOT authorized by
SIARE to the equipment (example: scavenging systems, patient simulators,
etc.....), and not described in the present user's manual: in case of need
contact SIARE.
