medical device does not bump against
anything.
– Remove any devices mounted to the
holding arms or the top of the device.

completely or slide it into the device.
– Do not pull the medical device over hoses,
cables, or other obstacles lying on the
floor.

medical device is being moved.
– Always use the handles on the device to
push or pull it.

Instructions for use Fabius plus SW 3.n
For your safety and that of your patients
WARNING
Risk due to failure of flow measurement
Deposits that were not removed during
reprocessing can damage the measuring
wires in the flow sensor or cause a fire.
– Before inserting the flow sensor check for
visible damage, soiling, and particles.
Repeat this check regularly.
– Replace flow sensors when damaged,
soiled, or not particle-free.
WARNING
Risk of insufficient ventilation
Device failure or operating errors can lead to
ventilation failure.
– To ensure immediate remedial action in
case of device failure, only operate the
device under permanent supervision of
users.
– The general safety standards for
anesthesia systems require that a manual
resuscitator be kept at the ready for
emergency ventilation.
WARNING
Risk of injury to the lungs
Endotracheal suction can cause negative
pressure in the lungs. This pressure can
injure the lungs.
Be careful during suction.
WARNING
Risk of not hearing the alarm tone
Dräger recommends that the user remain in
the vicinity of the anesthesia machine, i.e.,
within a distance of up to four meters (12
feet). This facilitates fast recognition and
response in the event of an alarm.
