Dräger Carina Instructions For Use Manual page 13

WARNING
Risk of patient injury
If patients are dependent on ventilation, one of
the following parameters must be monitored:
– Expiratory tidal volume
– Expiratory minute volume
– End-tidal expiratory CO
If no patient monitoring is implemented, no
alarm will be generated in case of insufficient
patient ventilation.
Use suitable external monitors.
WARNING
Risk of increased CO
If a breathing circuit with a leakage valve is
used, the flushing out of CO
e.g., by the accumulation of secretions in the
leakage valve, without being noticed.
Check the leakage valves regularly and re-
place them if necessary.
Use suitable patient monitoring (capnogra-
phy) to detect increased CO
WARNING
Risk of patient injury
If the inspiratory oxygen concentration differs
from the ambient air concentration, monitor-
ing of the inspiratory oxygen concentration
with adjustable high and low alarm limits is
needed.
Connect an external oxygen monitor comply-
ing with ISO 21647 or ISO 80601-2-55 to the
breathing circuit. Otherwise no alarm will be
generated if the actual inspiratory oxygen
concentration differs from the set oxygen con-
centration.

WARNING
Risk of patient injury
Because of the restricted monitoring func-
tions (no internal monitoring of the expiratory
minute volume), the device may not detect a
disconnection of the breathing hose or the pi-
lot line. This can occur particularly with low
PEEP values and the use of filters with high re-
sistance.
Only use the filters listed in the current list of
accessories.
CAUTION
Risk of patient injury
The device can apply a maximum of 120 L/min of
pure oxygen. If a high O
ventilation flow above 120 L/min is set, this O
concentration may not be reached.
Use external O monitoring or reduce leakage.

CAUTION
Risk of overheating of the medical device
Sources of heat such as direct sunlight, radiant
heaters, or spotlights may cause the medical de-
vice to overheat.
Keep the medical device away from heat sources.
Only use the medical device in adequately venti-
lated rooms.
CAUTION
Risk of toppling over
Do not tilt the device more than 15° while in use to
ensure that it cannot topple over. When the device
is on the trolley, do not tilt the trolley more than
10°.
