Operator's Responsibility for Infant Safety

For correct and effective use of the product and in order to minimize
hazards it is mandatory to carefully read and to observe all portions of this
manual.
The design of the equipment, the accompanying literature, and the labeling
on the equipment take into consideration that the purchase and use of the
equipment are restricted to trained professionals, and that certain inherent
characteristics of the equipment 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 professional
and operator of this equipment, to the consequences of product misuse, and
to potentially adverse effects in infants with abnormal conditions. Product
modification or misuse can be dangerous. Dräger disclaims all liability for
the consequences of product alterations or modifications, as well as for the
consequences which might result from the combination of this product with
other products whether supplied by Dräger or by other manufacturers if
such a combination is not endorsed by Dräger.
The operators of the heated bassinet system must recognize their
responsibility for choosing appropriate safety monitoring that supplies
adequate information on equipment performance and infant condition.
Infant safety may be achieved through a wide variety of different means
ranging from electronic surveillance of equipment performance and infant
condition to simple, direct observation of clinical signs. The responsibility
for the selection of the best level of infant monitoring lies solely with the
equipment user.

Limitation of Liability

Dräger's liability, whether arising out of or related to manufacture and sale
of the goods, their installation, demonstration, sales representation, use,
performance, or otherwise, including any liability based upon Dräger's
Product Warranty, is subject to and limited to the exclusive terms and
conditions as set forth, whether based upon breach of warranty or any other
cause of action whatsoever, regardless of any fault attributable to Dräger
and regardless of the form of action (including, without limitation, breach of
warranty, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise).
